steel and IRON industry of France, yir-
tually cut In half by wars ravages, is
faced by what engineers estimate To be an

Details of the problem were related today
to the correspondent Of the Associated

Engineering experts. however, SAY tho

loss to the industry by war. nevertheless, is
heightened BY the CREST necessity for
metal construction throughout liberated
districts. and the dependence Of nearly
$50 600 inhabitants Of these regions on the
blast furnaces and metal mills for liveli-
hood.
In yalencienncs. Denain, Trist. St

White Oaks Post Office

The rumor that the post Office
at White Oaks was about to be
discontinued caused the Outlook
to investigate the matter. In
conversation with some Of the
leading residents of the Oaks
they claim there was no founda-
ton in the least for the rumor.
In a talk with one of the leading
business men he said: when
people think White Oaks in such
bad shape as to cause its post
office to be taken away, they are
sadly mistaken. We are about
to enter an era of prosperity
equal to, If not to exceed any
thing we have ever experienced
heretofore. We have an abund-
ance of valuable coal which we
are about to begin to mine, drill
ing for oil is a thing Of the near
future, then what is to prevent
White Oaks from being a better
and more prosperous place thar
ever before. With everything
in our favor, why should we dis
continue our post Officer"

Now It's White Oaks Coal

White Oaks seems to be the
center of attraction here of late;
parties have been busily engaged
in leasing and negotiating with
White Oaks land owners which
shows that something is about to
happen of vast Importance in
our neighboring town. Messrs.
Ranniger of Oscuro and Schoeller
of Tularosa have made several
trips to White Oaks this week
and have secured leases on land
and formed a company which
shows they are to begin the work
Of mining coal in the White Oaks
region. Surveyor Bennett is
ousily engaged in surveying from
Robsart, a small station between
here and Coyote, for the purpose,
it is said, of ultimately laying a
narrow guage railroad track from
White Oaks to Robsart which will
connect with the E. P. & S. w.
1t is well known fact that plenty
of good coal is obtainable in that
section and time will tell as TO
who will be the first to bring it
to the public use.
