Herman Patrick Tape,

man Patrick Tape never goes any place

The hats are not deliberate reproduc-

The wonderful thing about Mr.. Tapes
hats is that they are evolved out OF things
that you would think might serve for pat
terms for anything else under the sun ex-
cept hats for refined and exacting women.
For instance, there was the famous
case Of the leaping dolphin and the hat

Friends Of Chester Fowles, who left
Augusta a few weeks ago to join his
brother, Charles Fowles, who owns ex-
tensive mining interests in Mexico, will
be interested to learn that he is now
in Ell Paso, Texas, although he and his
brother expect before long to go to
the mines. In a letter written June s
to an Augusta friend. Chester tells Of
two visits to Juarez, across the line
from FL Paso. On the first he and his
brother called on the American consul
and that official semed a little doubt
full as TO favorable conditions coming
to Mexico at present. The second visit
to Juarez was on the night before he
wrote the letter in question, and he
went over to see the sights, one Of
which was a gambling house run by
Villa. and he writes that in that place
there were about 5000 Mexicans losing
their money at different games. In
closed in the letter he sent two photo
graphs taken on the battlefield at
Juarez after the great battle by which
Villa claimed control Of the city. Odd
ly enough the photos were taken by
w. H. Horne. formerly Of Hallowell.

United States Geological Survey,
which complies the annual figures for
this industry. A tendency to operate
in large units is illustrated in the sta
tistics of this collateral branch Of coal
mining, Notwithstanding the fact that
it may we'll be considered in the early
stages Of development, the smaller
and experimental plants going out of
existence and the new enterprises be-
ing of greater capacity.
The production of briquetted fuel in
1914 amounted TO 244,635 short tons,
valued at s1,12317S. an increase com
pared with 1919 of 62,77s short tons
in quantity and s115,S51 in value.
This shows the greatest activity in
coal briquetting in the history of the
industry.
For convenience the Survey has
grouped the output by Eastern, Gen.
trail, and Pacific coast states. In each
Of these groups the production in 1914
was greater than in the preceding year.
In the Eastern states it increased
from 62,244 short tons, valued at
$240,643, to 101,7S2 tons, valued at
- io.o4c IN tHe central StdleS from
73,2s7 tons, valued at s3s0,40s. to
1895 tons, valued al $424.569, and in
the Pacific coast states from 4s,32S
short tons. valued at s4o6,e1G, to
54s2s tons, valued at s425,563.
OF the Is plants in operation during
1914, five used anthracite culm as a
raw material; two. semi-anthracite;
one, bituminous slack; two, a, mixture
Of anthracite culm and bituminous
slack; two petroleum residuum; two,
semibituminous slack. and one, mix
ture Of anthracite culm, bituninous
slack, coke. and Ignite. Eight plants
used coal-tar pitch for binder, four
used secret binders and one used pc
trolastic cement. No binder is re-
quired in the briquetting Of carbon
residues from oil-gas works.

From time to time during the last
six or eight years there have been
persistent rumors that a large field of
high-grade coal lies southeast Of St.
Anthony, Idaho. AS the development
Of such a field would be Of great ad-
vantage to a large tributary region
containing extensive mining and agri.
cultural developments, and as samples
from the field seemed to corroborate
the rumor regarding the quality Of the
coal, E. G. Woodruff Of the United
States Geological Survey, made an ex-
animation OF the field to determine its
prospective value. He found that the
reports concerning the quality Of the
coal were substantially correct, but
that the beds are SO broken by faults
and the area known to be underlain
by the beds is 90 small that the field
will probably never supply more than
the local market and can not become
. factor in the development Of the
general region Of the Snake River val
ley. His report has been published
by the Geogological Survey as Bulle-
tin 541-I. q copy Of which may be OBJ

nation OF Mrs. Matte A. Fuller Of
Hallowell from the responsible posi-
ton which she has held in the treas

since been used by the city. For sew
eral years she was employed as clerk
in both Offices, and later in the treas
urer's Office. During her long term Of
service she has ever proved a very
efficient clerk and in her departure the
city loses a most valuable assistant.

Coal Resources Of North Park, Colo.

North Park, a great natural depres-
sion in the Rocky Mountain Of north
ern Colorado, is described in a recent
geologic and economic report by A. L.
Becky. of the L. S. Geological Survey,
just printed and now being distributed
by the Survey as Bulletin $50. The
region is far from frequented routes
Of travel its remoteness amounting
until recent years almost to isolation,
so that its geology and it's economic
resources have remained but very lit
tie known. The park includes prac-
tically all of jackson county and is
surrounded. except on the north, by
mountain walls that rise 1000 to 5000
feet above the bottom of the basin.
No less striking than the practically
continuous rim of mountain cres.s
formed by the Medicine Bow Range on
the east, the Park Range on the west,
and Independence Mountain and the
Continental Divide on the. north !, and
SOUTH. respectively, is the remarkable
ffatness Of THE basin floor, which
stretches over an area of more than
1000 square miles, in which minor
ridges and peaks appear wholly insig
meant in comparison with the sur
rounding heights. Numerous clear
mountain streams rise in the mountain
walls and unite near the north outlet
Of the basin to form North Platte
river, which flows northward through
Platte Canyon. The principal industry
Of the region is the growing of beef
Caft1o Tho rapOo cra &c avroIay,r
and abundant water supply is avail
able. and large areas are irrigable
Owing to the high altitude Of the park,
however, and the consequent short
ness of the growing season, agricul-
ture, apart from the production Of hay,
has not been successful.
In the basin and on the slopes Of
the surrounding mountains, in steep
stream valleys and in canyon walls,
numerous rock beds. Of varied char
acter and origin, are exposed. The
fossils found in these beds, the COM
position Of the rocks, their relations
to one another. and the ways in which
they are folded, crumpled, and faulted,
reveal to the geologist the history Of
the region since earliest geologic time.
The rock group that Is economically
the most important Is the Coalmont
formation. which underlies nearly all
the park floor and is the coal bearing
formation Of the region. Some Of the
coal beds are in places very thick. one
measuring at one place IS feet and at
several places more than so feet. The
coal is subbituminous and is remark
ably clean. Although the high cost Of
railway transportation and the higher
quality Of the coal in neighboring
more accessible fields would suggest
that the demand for the coal would be
practically limited to the park itself.
yet the one coal company operating in
the park on a commercial scale has
marketed considerable tonnage Of coal
in northeastern Colorado and southern
Wyoming.
