For Development of Big

High Quality Coal
Four Veins of Good Commercial Coal
Opened Up By the Develop

The coal mines at Chestnut NAV
again become important factors in
coal production in Montana, if plans
Of the Kiwanis club mature. At the
MONDAY luncheon Monday held in the
Bozeman hotel, the members and Wis
| itors from the Rotary club and cham
Der of commerce listened to talks
given by Mr.. William Gibson, man
( ager of the Meadow Greek Coal Co.
and A. V. Cory a prominent mining
engineer Of the state.
Howard Greene was chairman of the
meeting and in bringing TO the at
tention Of the members, the need of
better coal supply, told of vast
quantities of coal now in the Chest
nut field awaiting development. He
explained that Mr. Gibson had secured
the backing Of men with finances in
Duluth, who have been operating the
mines at Chestnut for the past year,
opening up three veins of good quail
ity coal, producing about 50 tons per
day while devepopment has been
going on.
The advantages to Bozeman, if the
T, coal field at Chestnut can be brought
to full production, was outlined by
! Mr.. Greene, in which he called atten-
tion to the large pay roll at Red
: Lodge and Bear Creek "The pay roll
> at Red Lodge in normal times
amounts to about S225,OOO per
month" Mr.. Greene stated, "and at
Bear Greek it is even better when the
mines are in operation. If the report
upon the Meadow Greek mines prove
h to be correct there is no reason why
we cannot develop the mines anJ
= bring to BOzeman an equally large
monthly income"

accomplished by the Meadow Creel
company was given by Mr.. Gibson

poses, and in consequence our meat
supply is diminishing and the price
of that article of diet is continually
going up, the government has taken
it in hand to educate the people to
produce and use other meats than
beef and pork. But this thing of
education is slow and expensive. 1t
takes a long time to teach an Ameri-
can to eat crow after he has set
taste for western beef"
By means of propaganda the poultry
business has been built up to immense
proportions. and yet that delicate bit
of meat is a rather expensive luxury
costing the people of Lakeland, now,
about forty cents per pound.
The government is now beginning
to boost the rabbit and cavy business
as a meat proposition, and of course
in few years will have succeeded in
convincing the American people that
other meats that they have become
accustomed to- But it will be a long
time before we shall be brought to
see the value of rabbit meat and to
call for it as Germany, Belgium and
France do. But psychological sugges-
ton is a wonderful force and will in
time accomplish wonderful things.
We thought to help the government
to put this rabbit business on it's feet
and here is what we got the first dash
out of the box:
We raised some fine friers and took
some of them to one of the leading
hospitals of the city of Lakeland,
where they are supposed to know the
value of rabbit meat for invalids and
convalescents, and on our word of
honor we couldn't even give them
away. Then we went over to one of
the leading hotels of the city, where
they use hundreds of chickens, and
the proprietor informed us that he
couldn't use them-said his customers
wouldn't eat them. Then we called on
a leading doctor of the city, who was
supposed to be fond of rabbit, and
found that he had eaten of a few
tough, wild rabbits, but had no knowl-
edge. whatever, of the hutch rabbit,
and do you know that we couldn't even
GIVE him one much less SELL it to
him.
So you see, Mr.. Telegram man, that
here is a meat proposition that has

DIXIE HIGHWAY IS BEING

bune says:

the chicken business whipped to a
FRAGILE in the days to come, but you
see that it will require a system of
education to put that business where
it rightfully belongs. We have to show
the meat-eating public that rabbit
meat is not poisonous-that it is as
palatable as chicken, and away ahead
of it in digestibiity, and freer from
disease, and can be produced at less
expense and on less ground space,
etc.
Now, the question with us is-shall
we raise rabbits and give every man,
woman and child in Lakeland one as
a sample, and then go down and teach
them how to cook and serve it, or
shall We raise a few for our own use
and sit down at our own table and
enjoy tender, juicy fry, while our
good friends down in Lakeland are
saving on a tough piece of western
beef" in an endeavor to reduce it to
the size of their gullet?
Say, Mr.. Telegram man, if you know
a rabbit from a turkey-buzzard, and
will muster up enough courage to
risk your molars on a hind-quarter of
one Of these oryctologus curiculus,
we'll bring you one, and begin our
system of education in the Telegram
Office.
Yours for more and better meat,
