eoLD MINING AN ENDURING INDUSTRY

The record shows that tho gold production of the State of California last year greater than has been for any year since 1864 That is after sI years Of gold producing history California is better gold state than she had been for half century This Is not only tbe case with California but hos been the same else where A goldproducins industry i8 enduring it hos been made more SO by scientific mining which has solved the secre, of extracting the precious metal rom low grade lodes and plaeers.
 california has been mining low grade quartz and

LUMBER OUTLOOK BETTER

With the boom in the uraber industry of Che Soutn' resulting from large European orders and greater ae tiy i railroad construction. comes reassuranee to the Pacific coast that the one industry that has not recoy- cred from tho collapse which followed the declaration o war in Europe is on the up grade and that with the reopeninr of the Panama Canal that, too will exper enee an activity that it has not known for some time or course the Pacific coast lumber trade viii not be at It's best until freight rates for foreign commerce shall have been reduced but there is evidence that Che domestic demand is improving
 When ono realizes how quickly a langushins in- dustr feels he impulse demands that accommodating pdly these days when thoy once start be can read , understand that next summer is likely to be busy one with loggers and lumber makers of Washington and Oregon.
 The Chicago Herald. commenting upon what the improved lumber conditions. following closely upon Che rehabilitation or cotton says:
 The report Of the unusual activity ot ah the big savmills in the lumoerproducing parts Of the South brought here by representatives of the yellow pine manufacturing interests. is oi a piece with the general tenor or the iniof- nation received from thot section. The state affairs which Is thus revealed furnishes pleas ing contrast to that which prevailed @ few months after the outbreak of the European 
 Today instead of dire and not unnatural forebodings due to the drop of the Souths great staple to cents and its further elouded prospects we have a healthy and wen-ground- ed optimism Cotton IS now at l2 cents-a price at which the growers can get along nice ly It Is now being discovered that the raV- axes of Scent cotton were not as terrible as had been anticipated. As the CommercialAp peal of Memphis said lately: "rhe South reaiz es now that # t wasn't hurt half 80 badly last year as it thought it was"
 It is also worth noting that this change has come about without the interpositon or the agencies last year deemed so yitaly nee essary by @ number of leading representatives in the South. The great fund to help stability in the cotton market was pledged but was found unnecessary. The fact that there was such a widespread willingness to help doubt less did help. But the bettered situation is mainly due to the operation of familiar causes combined with wise and determined sitting tight" policy on the part Of Southern business men
 With che return ot' cotton to something like Q. normal price tho exceptional situation of the South disappears. At first it seemed destined Co be the victim of conditions which did not affect the other agricultural regions; to be greatly damaged while other sections profed from the increased demands for their food pro ducts. Now. however the entire country is on a common plane of better business conditions and hopeful outlook for a greatly enhanced prosperity.

THE SWISS ARMY

Those who are advocating compulsory military ser vice in the United States are using the Swiss Repub lie as the ben6cen example in support of the sound ness O., their views They advance the argument that Switzerland too. has peace. and that she has 1t be- cause her regular army and reserves are under arms prepared to fight for Che sancty Of her neutrality
 The last reason for Swiss neutrality explains the difference between that countrys situation and that of the United States Switzerland is surrounded by four great military powers-three Of them monarchies- where they have compulsory military service. An of these powers have been intimately connected with the complicated politics of Europe The character Of the connection is Illustrated by the fact that an four of them arc at war now.
 The United States lies thousands of miles from Europe She has not foot Of European son Her pol icy has been to avoid au enangng European alliances. She has no hostile neighbOr that she has cause to fear. Her foregn policy is such that no sane man imagnes for a moment that if Switzerland was sur rounded by United States Territory, or lay between the United States and Canada. that she would have an army anything like that which she has or that she would have compulsory military service.
