Our Dwindling Coal Resources

Alexander r. Vogelsang. in Leslle's
 We hold nearly one-half the coal re- sources of the world and have exhaust ed only l per cent thereof but not only is that per cent our best coalA but It has come from the fields most accessi- ble to our population and to our indus trial centers. Seventy per cent of our coal is west of the Mississippi river. far from market and present manufacture CTS. It's use in established industry en- tails a prohibitively long and costly rail haul. They are far from either seaboard. These best and most accessi blc coals arc therefore approaching eN- haustion and the industrial east must face this fact At present rate of min ing. the Pittsburg fields will be con sumed in a generation; the Pocahontas fields of Virginia and West Virginia will last only two or possibly three generations The cog measures of Ohio Indiana and Illinois are more per manent. but they are poorer in quality. Natural gas is the ideal fuel, but its quantity is limited and it, too, is pass ing.

Sr~ar Market

 New York, November 15.-There were ro further changes in the local raw sugar mark :. today and the close was at 6Hc for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 6.51c for centrifugal. There were sales of 5000 bags of ~Jamaica centrifugals afloat at 5Ac eff, and s. 800 bags of Peru afloat at the same price. and it was believed that Cuban and Porto Ricos could be obtained 1t the same equivalent, or sole, duty paid, delivered.
 The market for refined was quiet with the demand limited to nearby re- quirements only, as buyers are an t:cipating lower prices in view CT tAe recent decline in raws. No changes occurred in list prices, which are quoted at 1Oc to 10.50c for fine gran uiated. Advices from the west said that beet sugar there was reduced to g. soc.
 The market for sugar futures opened unchanged to 10 points lower under scattered liquidation. but soon flrmea up on covering and buying by trade interests, prompted by more favorable pr aspects for the Cuban loan, with closing quotations 10 to Is points net higher.

Daily Financial Gossip
Ky HOLLAND

New York, November 15.-(SpeciaL) Not much astonishment on the part of those who are familiar with air devel- opmeHt in this country and in Europe was accustomed by the statement of An thony H. G. Foulkner, who said im- mediately after his arrival in New York that the years will be few when pas sage between New York and London will be accomplished by aircraft in 24 hours. Of course, Mir. Fokker's state ment is regarded as worthy of serious consideration, because he was the in- Ventor and constructor of the highest type ot aircraft used by the GeQnans when the war was in progress. He him. self, however. is a non-eombatant Not citizen of Germany, but of Holland. he built and sold his own invented air craft to Germany as he would to any nation which was willing to buy tHem.
 Possibly the most significant statement made by him. although it is one that has been overlooked by aircraft men, is his intimation that there is enough en- ergy in the air if it can be captured and utilized to furnish the needed power for ascent and for propulsion. He would not thus have intimated in all probabil- ity if he had not already gone a long ways towards the solution of the prob- lem. Will it be done after the manner of the wireless method, by causing arti- ficial waves of great energy to be pro- duced by means of which intelligible communication is established through ap- paratus perfected by Marconi and oth- CTS? Will he seek to secure the nitrogen which is in the atmosphere or the oxy- gen, and if he does, will it be done by II. cans of apparatus placed aboard the aircraft or by other apparatus, similar perhaps inS principle to that by which radio energy is secured for wireless purposes?
 At all events, MT. Fokker's intimation is in line with several other recent de- velopments, which go far to prove that the world is now entering upon a sci entific era, whose results may ultimate Fly revolutionize industry, although bene- elcially. Presumably MT. Fokker -ex- poets to make use of some synthetic method by which he can obtain free of cost the raw material, the energy which he says exists in abundance in the at mn

Hubbard Bros.


 New York, November 15.-The mar ket was steady and there ap- peared to be some trading at the opening. Prices advanced half a cent a pound under the influence of 'his rather moderate buying from the trade, and some short covering on the i6ea that the market was low enough for the time being. on the advance the trade demand disappeared lnd further hedge selling appeared So that the market sold off during the last hour, Iosins about half of the initial m- provement. There is no real change in the general situation. but on the other hand, sentiment in the trade is little more hopeful in that there is a feeling it would be better to look for factors which will bring about a turn In tho Barket toward higher prices, rather than to continue to sell with the idsa that prices were going lower. We think that this is a natural and advisable point of view. The only difficulty is that as yet there seems to be no real change in the general business out lJok.-Hubbard Brothers.

 The news was no more bullish than last week, except for the unfav3r rlble weather a better undertone in grains and stocks. Sentiment in the pit slightly fayors the bears. They, hcw- ever, seem to have less confident han last week; spot people still believe that the market has not seen it's low. we think 1t is advisable to purchase the market on all material declines, as it is at this time very sensitive to any and all favorable news-S. k.

Meridian Students in Stock
Judging Contest at State Fair

A stock indging team consisting OF
Earle Evans. Cecil Woods. Lawson
Elliott, and Raymond Scott, as alter
nate, from the Meridian High school,
took part In the Judging contest be-
tween the different Smith-Hughes
schools OF the state There were only
seven teams competing because the
schools having had little or no stock
judging before this year did not feel
that they had chance with the
schools better prepared and more ex-
perienced.
Twin Falls won first place by a
good margin, followed by Blackfoot,
Gooding. and Meridian, that were all
close together These we're followed
by Nampa. Eagle and Boise Mt vary
ing intervals
Although the boys. from Meridian
won fourth place they are to be com
mended because they we're the only
ones who had not bad considerable
judging last year, and during the
summer months They won over
Nampa and Boise, both Of which are
much larger schools, having more
students TO pick from.
Earl Evans is TO be especially com
mended as he was third highest man
in class OF II and tied for first as a
judge Of beef cattle but was given
second because the other man had a
little better reasons when they We're
looked over a little more carefully.
The winners will have to work hard
er next year than they have the past
year If they win.
