WESTERN COAL

Coal although not ranked as precious metal, since the invention of the steam engine has become of the two most important minerals of civilization Indeed the rank of nations may be based upon their use of coal and iron. Our own country England Germany and Bel gium-the leading industrial nations of the age-are fore most because of their possession and use of these two min erals. The great is emphasizing this fact At the present moment the allies bending every energy to cover the coal fields of northern France
 We still think of coal in this country as chiefly pro- duced in the fields of Pennsylvania and the Appalachian mountains near the Atlantic coast The value of bti- coal taken out in the Keystone state alone for 1913 nearly twice that of all minerals produced by Cali fOrna for that year Still the Mineral Reserve Report issued by the government in 1913 shows that about half of the available coal deposits of the United States are in the western third of the cOuntry-n that region na- turally tributary to our Pacific coast ports.
 Our neXt-door neghbOr Arizona has one field esti- mated to contain 14000000000 tons Another neigh bOr, Utah. is accredited with 880OO0000O0 tons; while MOntanaS deposits three times as big as those of Pennsylvania and Wyoming has over six times as much Colorado las nearly much coal as Montana New Mex leo has coal than either Illinois or Pennsylvania and twice as much as the state of Ohio
 Although gives a feeling of security to know that have these great reserve supplies of coal in reghbor- ing states not dependent upon alrai haul for our fuel supply In addition to CaifomiaS great oil fields Oregon has a supply of coa-nearly 1OOO0OOOOO tons lying near tide water Washington has the Puget sound district over SXtyhree times as much Oregon; Brit sh Columbia also has extensive fields While the Alaskan fields, not far inland and reached by government rail way, are so large as to appear almost nexhaustble
 No matter how great may be the demand for power to turn the wheels for the industries fast coming to the Pacific coast there need be fear of lack of energy Nh the territory between the Pacific coast and the Rocky mountains is found 72 per cent of the potential water horsepower of the entire country with 42 per cent locat ed in the three states of Washington Oregon and Cali fora It probable that the center of the production of coal will join the procession and march westward in the future.

MAXWELL GOLF WINNER
Captures Close Match on Last Green
at Pinehurst-Nichols
Breaks Record.

Norman H. Maxwell of Philadelphia,
Pinehurst, came very close to being
beaten in the first round yesterday by a
fellow townsman, Justice NJ. Thomp-
son of the Spring Haven Club. Maxwell,
somewhat off the game he showed in
the medal round. was up all the way
to the fifteenth hole. but his opponent
squared the match on that hole and
won the 0sxt to be 1 up and 3 to play.
Playing to the short seventeenth, the
medalist heeled his mashie shot and
landed in deep trap, while Thompson
put his ball on the green ten feet from
the cup. Maxwelrs only chance was to
get his ball out of the trap dead to the
hole, and secure a half, and this he did,
his ball skidding across the green with
a great deal of backspin and hitting the
pin, lying dead. Thompson's ball was
on the slope above the cup, and in try
ing TO sink his ten-footer and win the
match he rolled around the hole and
stymied himself, and instead of winning
on this hole the match was squared
Maxwell had no trouble winning on the
last hole. with a mediocre 5. his op-
ponent being in trouble all the way to
the green
