Good Progress.


THE time since January / has,
however, not been wasted. In fact,

the right kind has been made. The
old saw about taking one good, long
squint before the jump is very APP
plicable. The first question to con-
front the members of the chamber of
commerce was II of finance. The
bonus system has been tried in scores
Of cities and has never me with great
success. The various towns through
out the United States which are noted
for their success along the new in
duStrieS' line have broken away from
the system Of Il donation. The finance
committee of the chamber of COM
merce has taken this matter up at its
several meetings and believes that it
has made progress toward a solution
of this question: After a close ex-
animation it was believed thai the
Davenport system was probably the

operation was secured from the Dav-

The early campaign of the Missoula
Chamber of Commerce has been UNI
usually active. The winter months
have been devoted to an extended sys-
tenn of correspondence in preparation
for the spring work. Yesterday after
noon a Missoulian reporter asked
President Coffee for a statement re-
garding the work already done and the
plans for the spring and summer. Re
plying, Mr.. Coffee said:
"A period of three months has
elapsed since the Missoula Chamber
of Commerce adopted its policy of
new Industries for the Garden city

the work that is being done it would
seem that three months is ample time
in which to make all the necessary
arrangements for constructing a row

days to construct the earth and it
will require much more time than that
to convince the modern business man
that Missoula is the logical location
for n branch of his particular enter
prise. Not that it can't be done-far
from that. But the question of new
industries is one that requires a large
amount of work such as the securing

Publicity.
although the line of new indus
tries has been given every attention,
the publicity end of the work has not
in any way been overlooked. Articles
telling of Missoula and the surround

dozen magazines of various types.
These articles have covered practically
every phase of the country's resources.
Dairy, fruit, farming and outing maya
zines have been furnished with stories
which they have accepted. Hundreds
of letters have been written in an

in regard to this section of Montana.
The work is moving along in a very
satisfactory way and it is hoped thai
the end of the ear will be able to
show concrete results.

OIL FUEL IN THE NAVY.

The British admiralty have de- cided to use oil in lieu of coal as the fuel for all future war con- structions. This is not a sur prise to any one that has follow ed the unmisl akablr trend of na- val developments. Indeed, the surprise is That such a decision for oils exclusive use has been delayed so long.
 So pronounced is the superior ity of oil fuel that rOal-hurn- ing power vessel before many years will be as archaic as horse car. This change gives Us an enormous initial advantage. as we produce two-thirdS of the worlds output. Nor are there any signs of exhaustion, as it is estimated that the public lands of California alone can supply, even if oil be used exclusively for naval fuel, all probable demands for century.

AMERlcA's SWEET TooTI.

A report of the Federal Bureau of Statistics shows that the per capita consumption of sugar in this country is 10 pounds per an mum.
 About Onc-lifth of the world $ sugar is eaten in this country. In 1909 and 1910 America consumed 3,285,771 tons, while the United Kingdom trailed second with 1,- 79O,757 tons, Russia followed with 1,l99,389 tons and Germany fourth with l,ii7,315.
 In 19O9-lO the United States and it's possessions produced 1,- 232,O15 of a world total of 8,294,- 334 tons of cane sugar. In the six years from 1904 and 1910, the European production of beet su- gar increased 8.6 per cent, while that of this country increased 113 per cent, although it's total was still less than one-tenth that of Europe.
 These facts have an important bearing in connection with the pending tariff bill. The tariff ex- action, under hte existing law, amounts to about cents a pound on sugar, or about 80 cents year for every man, woman and child in America. All of the facts tend to show that this tax goes into the pockets of the refers and does not help the sugar grower to any appreciable extent. Why tax on sugar?

Platoro Certain to Develop
Into Rich Mining District
Platoro. Colo, March 9Th. 1913.

Platoro, Colo, March 9Th, 1913.
Editor NJ. V. Journal
Although the recent heavy snow
storm has blocked the roads again,
and interfered with communication
with the outside world, and delayed
the bringing in OF supplies for
time, yet the development work on
mining claims goes merrily on and
the tonnage of milling ore exposed
is materially increased, and consid
cradle high-grade shipping ore is be-
ing added to the ore piles for ship
ment in the spring. The winter
work. although limited in amount,
has been very effective in the way of
exposing new ore bodies And, with
the great amount of development
work already outlined by large
Cripple Creek operators upon proper
ties secured by them in the district,
the ore bodies (both milling and
high-grade shipping) sure to be
opened up-with their up-to-date
scientific mining methods, applied by
the most experience and practical of
mining men, is likely to be even
more extensive than most of them
realize at the present time. Which
results will be more than satisfac-
tory to them and insure continuous
operation upon very large scale and
permanent, prosperous mining dis
trict established, and lasting for
great many years to come
Having had extensive experience
in the mines of Colorado and the
Pacific coast states from Alaska to
Old Mexico, as well as having spent
a number Of years in this district,
studying and comparing the geo.
logical and meteorological conditions
here. with other mining districts
that I am familiar with, feel safe
in recommending this district as one
certain to develop into one of the
most extensive and richest mining
districts ever discovered.
Since many OF the men now secur-
ing properties in the district, have
unlimited capital behind them, the
mines will be proven, extensive de-
velopment work outlined, and mills
installed to treat the large bodies of
milling ore at the mines.
This being the case, all those who
wish to secure interests at very low
figures compared with future values
should get busy.
/ have had communications from
a number OF outside parties, regard
ing the snow and the earliest pos
sible time they can figure on coming
in here with supplies so that they
can begin the development of their
properties.
From the comparatively small
amount of snow now upon the
ground at this time of year, 1t is safe
to predict very early spring, and
much prospecting and mining work
can be done to advantage in April
