On Selection of Secretary of In terior Will Depend Reclama tion Progress of West Cabinet building will be in order from now until March 4, when the new administration comes into power, and the new president will announce his own selections, This is always' the case when there is to be a change of adminstratian and no presi dent in recent years has ever lacked for suggestions as to the proper men to place at the head of the various Government de partments. For between pol iticians and the newspapers, suggestons are always made in profusion and innumerable cabi nets are built up by all save the one man entrusted with that power. The selection of a cabi net by the president elect always comes after the volunteers have completed their work. There is one cabinet appoint ment to be made on March 4 in which the West is vitally inter ested ; jthe selection of a secretary of the interior. The Democratic national platform contained a plank that seemed to foreshadow a practical administration of public land affairs, but it re mains to be seen whether that party pledge was made merely as a vote getter or is a plank to be followed out by the new administration. It is evident that a secretary of the interior appointed to carry out the conservation and public land planks of the Democratic platform would come at once into conflict with the Democratic members of the public lands committee of the House of Re presentatives, for the Democratic legislative record on conserva tion, made by the present House of Representatives, is not in accord with the Baltimore plat form, but rather is diametrically opposed to that platform. For the public lands committee of the House, as has been demon strated many times in the past two years, believes in the Pin chot brand of Iconservation, and has been particularly hostile to most of the legislation by the West. It is true the committee reported the three year home stead bill, but it did so only'af ter great pressure was brought to bear by Speaker Clark and by several Democratic senators, for the committee left to itself would have adopted the Fisher idea and reported out a substitute bill requiring five years' cultivation instead of three. There have been many mea sures before the present public lands committee of benefit to the west, especially bills intend ed to make available the public reosurces now tied up by with drawals. None of these bills has ever been allowed to come out of committee, and whenever an effort was made, to get them out such conservationists as Gifford Pinchot, Secretary Fsher and Louis Brandels have been called upon for an expression of opinion, and the view of those men, against the Western view, hoa been accepted and acted up on.

Phone us your order, Coal Production of United States Since 1896, when the United States supplanted Great Britain, this country has held first place among the coal producing coun tries of the world. In, 1911 the total world's production of coal amounted to approximately 1, 300,000,000 short tons, of which the United States contributed 496,221,168 tons, or 38.1 per cent. In the 12 years from 1899, when the country first surpassed Great Britain, to 1911 the pro duction of the United States has increased nearly 100 per 'cent, while Great Britain has increased its output about 25 per cent, from 246,506,165 short tons to 304, 518,927 tons. The United States in 1911 produced over 60 per cent more than Great Britain. Ger many's production of coal and lignite in 1899 was 149,719,766 short tons; in 1911 it was 258, 223,763 tons, an increase of over 70 per cdnt. The combined pro duction of Great Britain and Germany in 1911 was 562,742,690 short tons which exceeded the output of the United States by only 66,521,622 tons, or 11.5 per cent The three countries, United Statse, Great Britain and Germany produce more than 80 per cent of the world's total sur ply of coal.

AS long ago as the last half of ZA tbo eighteenth century it was tbo press that molded public opinion. The famous "Let ters of Junius" started the wave that finally resulted in widespread ing reforms in England. Tho "Rights of Man" and otlicr pam phlets bad a prodigious circulation and exerted an itmncasurublo in fluence toward tho same ends. A littlo book, "Common Sense," set tho colonies on fire for inde pendence, and the printing of Pat rick Henry's and Samuel Adams' speeches, of Franklin's and other papers and of Thomas Paino'a "Crisis" was a powerful aid in tho American Revolution. It was tho writings of Voltairo and Rousseau and the news of our own war for independence that brought on tho revolution in France. "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which was first published in a newspaper, had tremendous influ ence in freeing the slave.
