ing the development CT the California
oil reserve lands, would increasa
rather than. diminish the navys ulu'

Record of Treasury Show In
crease in Beer, Whiskey
and Cigarettes.
81 AssocIATEp PREss.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The amount
of whiskey consumed in the United
States in 1910 is apparently the
greatest since 1909, according to the
treasury department returns. The
revenue on whiskey, beer and cigar
cites is the largest on record. Al
though the whiskey revenue is great
err, officials believe the increase is
due to the fact that the government
is collecting on all whiskey, whereas
frauds cut down the revenue a few
years ago.
The increase in the wAiskey reve-
nue. is nearly twenty-four million
dollars more than 1915. The total
revenue of beer and whiskey is $751;
703, 935.
The consumption Of cigarettes
reached the highest mark, more than
twenty-five billion paper wrapped
cigarettes being taxed. This does NOT
include the ones rolled by the
smokers.
November and December were
heavy months for the consumption Of
whiskey, while fifty per cent
more beer was consumed in the sum
mer than in winter. The biggest
cigarette month was August, the
Hghtest April.

COL. MILLS IS

To AID CAMP
Will Arrive on February 10
to Complete Plans for the
National Encamprnent.
GIVES SUPPORT
TO PENSACOLA
On Way to Omaha, and Pen
sacola Delegation Win
Probably Go With Him.

Col. G. D. Mills, head Of the state
division of the Woodmen of tho
World, in letter to Secretary James
T. Phillips of the Chamber Of Com
merce, states that he will be in Pen
sacola on February 10 for the pur-
pose Of completing plans for bring
ing the National Encampment to this
city next summer.
Col. Mills has shown great inter
est in bringing the camp to Pensa-
cola, and is one of The ardent sup
porters of the movement to make
this place the national camp site for
1917. In the letter to Mr.. Phillips,
Col. Mills says in part 81 am doing
my best to bring the. encampment to
Pensacola" and in another place:
"Any way can be of assistance you
viii find me ready to help"
With this cooperation and support
on the part of the highest officer of
the organization in the state, it is
believed that Pensacola's chances for
landing the great convention are bet
ter than ever.
The possibilities of bringing the
camp here were greatly increased it
is thought by the action of the War
Department granting the use Of the
grounds at Fort Barrancas for the
encampment. The site is possibly
the best in the South for holding such
camp, affording as It does ample
space for carrying on the drill work
incident to q national encanloment,
and offering at the same time a
heaIthfuI and delightful resort, SELL
dom found at even the most popular
summer resorts.
But that the securing Of the site
is only preliminary step is the in
sistent admonition Of the workers in.
the movement to bring the encamp-
ment to Pensacola. Equipment must
be had, water mains laid, and every
thing generally prepared for the men
when they arrive.
When the delegation is sent to-
Omaha to place Pensacola's claims
before the Sovereign Council, it is
urged something definite must be Of

cient to say, ii the encampment.

FOR ENCAMPMENT'

Local Woodrnen of the World. and
choppers throughous the Pensacola

to bring the national encampment to
Pensacola, and at meeting which
was held last night it was decided
that all the means within reason
should be put forth to land the big
gathering for this point.
Sovereign Delegate p. L. Rollo
announced last evening that he win
send out a call to all lodges in the,
immediate district for a Joint meet
ing on next Wednesday night. when
the proposition to give $500 for the
entertainment Of the. visiting en-
campment men would be. considered.
The local camps, as well as those sit
uated at Moline, Warrington, Brent
and possibly several others nearby
would be asked to cooperate II this
movement. Should this offer be car
ried, it will mean that a substantial
sum would thus be lifted from the
business men and citizens who Will
be requested to aid IN the entertain
ment features.
Sovereign Delegate Rollo announc-
ed that he would at once issue a call
for the joint meeting, and it in
hoped that all camps will be in POI
sition TO either send accredited dele
gates, or else may have commune
cation before the meeting, promising

likelihood readily designate Pensa-
