MARKED EPOCH IN INDUSTRY
Experience Of Years Of Warfare
Should Have Effect on Coal Min
Ing in This Country.

The inventory of the nations re-
sources that the war made necessary
brought to light many new facts about
coal mining which will be Of lasting
value to the industry and to the pub
lie. AS long as the war lasted these
incidental lessons were lost sight Of
under the pressure Of meeting the
emergency created by the shortage Of
fuels, but with the return of peace
the experience gained during the war
is being gathered together in series
Of reports on the industry, the first
of which, "Coal in 1917" by G. E..
Lesher. has been published by the
United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior.
The period from 1914 through 1917
and 1918 and into 1919 may be regard
ed as a distinct epoch in the coal in
dustry, of which the year 1917 repre-
sented only one section, but a section
which, if not the most remarkable for
it's achievements, was at once the most
chaotic and the most momentous in the
history Of the industry.
In response to the unprecedented de-
mand the bituminous mines produced
551, 790,563 tons, or nearly 10 per cent
more than the output Of the year be-
fore. The anthracite output was 3d.
Gil 81 net tons, an increase over 1916
of 1877 per cent. The total output of
both hard and soft coal was thus over
65O,OOOOOO tons.
This record output was accomplish
ed by a labor force of 6O3, 143 men in
the bituminous and 154,174 in the an.
thracite mines. In spite of the draft
the number Of workers in the bitumi
nous industry was greater in 1917 that
in 1916.

to telegram from him read by

Soldiers and Banana Growing.

The New South Wales government
has not been long in providing its re-
turning soldiers with work. One Of
the enterprises undertaken with this
object is the cultivation of bananas
ON a large scale. There is no fruit
crop that yields such a quick return
as the banana and in the present
flourishing state of the market no
better undertaking could have been
selected. given the right men. It Is
not work for the lazy. But among the
demobilized troops are plenty Of men
who are young, tough and teachable.
Four hundred acres have been taken
as a beginning and each settler has IL
months probation before black is
intrusted to him. The sum Of f625 is
advanced to each for implements,
stock, and house-building material
The soldiers have already started and
enjoy their rough life in the hills. The
experienced planter, Mr.. G. Rose, who
is in charge, sees nothing but success
ahead in reward for their efforts.

The familiar railroad time table,
with its figures and dotted lines, is
only a small edition of the real table
by which trains are run. The Official
time table is very large and COM
plicated affair and could not possi-
bly, be carried about in ones pocket.
1t would require sheet nine feet
long and three feet wide, ruled in
three eight-inch spaces, to record
the trains which pass out of a large
terminal station in a single day. To
overcome the necessity of so cumber-
some a piece of literature, an hourly
time table is used. The train dis
patcher's time table, for example,
contains the number of trains, name
of conductor and engineman in full.
the number and kind of cars in the
train, the time it left the station,
the time it left the train yard and
the time is passes various signal
stations for many miles.

PrickIy Pear Proving Pest.

Australia is suffering from a prickly
pear pest, which takes advantage of
the rivers as a means of spreading.
Shoots break off from the parent
plant growing along a stream and the
part is carried downstream to found
a new colony. Thousands Of acres
are being ruined yearly owing to the
ravages of this plant and no means
have been discovered Of stopping it's
march. Rolling. spraying and poisons
have proved Intellectual, and it is
hoped that some scientist may find
some commercial use for the plant.

the two fighters, Dempsey and his
challenger. Billy Miske, were near
the peak of their form Both put in
hard sessions yesterday, probably
their last chance to extend them
selves. It was expected the work
outs today would be for nothing
more than a loosening of muscles.
1t was evident today there would
be no decision should the fight go
ten rounds. Dempsey remained
heavy favorite to win and even In
Miske's camp there appeared no real
belief that the challenger can put the
champion out A good showing
against Dempsey woud be a moral
victory for Miske and a ten round
draw would be reason for wild ce,e

VENDORS REAP HARVEST FROM
 ILLICIT DRUGS

BUTTE, Mont, July 10 (by Ass ciated Press) That Butte is one of the stations on regular route main tained by vendors who bring illicit drugs from Canadian points, was the statement made recently by A. M J. Pritchard, a special agent of the in- ternal revenue department, who has been Investigating the traffic in mar cotics in Butte. Mir. Pritchard said the traffic in Butte amounts to thou sands of dollars each month and that the addicts in this city run into the hundreds.
 During his stay in Butte, the spe cial agent obtained evidence which resulted in the arrest of Dr. c. D. Bryant, a physician of Butte, and Wan Sing and Quong Chung, the lat ter two Chinese, on federal charges. The homes of the Chinese were raid ed and quantity of opium, with full layouts for smoking, were seized.
 Tracing shipments of drugs which are sold in Butte, we have discovered that narcotics are being laid down here at a cost of $1448 an aunce," said Special Agent Pritchard. "The drugs then are put out to informed iaries at $80 an ounce, and these men in turn sell the stuff at prices which vary up to S450 an ounce. The lat ter figure is reached when the ven- dor sells magnesia and milk, with a small quantity of drug mixed in.
 "The drugs which are being peddled in Butte come here through Sweet Grass. Great Falls and Helena over a regular route. From Butte, the route leads to Boise, Idaho, and then to Salt Lake City, where a route from the south connects. The drugs which are brought in from the south cross the Mexican line at Tia Juana and follow a regular route to Salt Lake. The ring of vendors travels over these lines on regular schedules, similar to those of travelling men, and carry con- siderable quantities for distribution in the larger cities of the west"
