Trult in Mountain States. "While Colorado bus lost spmo of )5ls famo as a mineral state, it is inak- in up for this lost prostigo in its wonderful development of. agricultural laud fruit industries," remarked Dav.id Al. Ilvman, a business man, who formerly former-ly lived in Colorado; and has just re-'turned re-'turned from a trip I here. ''Many of: the-I the-I Hroat mines of the state havo plaved out. The stato no Ionccr leads in the IV production of copper, aRhough it is- I1 .Htill at tho bead m jrold production, I I believe. Hut in agriculture and fruit, l Colorado, which once was a desert., is i now taking a plar.o among tho leading elates. Thirl v vearq ago. when I went I ihere. land that now sells for as high J' :ts .flOOO an aere, could have been L lnmghfc for a few dollars an acre. I I know of one section near Grand .Tunc- Jj lion, where fruit: lands aro held at $1000 an acre. This' may appear to Jic :i high figure, Imt when it is eonsid-J eonsid-J ored that Ibis land yields a profit of $1000 a vcar per acre, it cannot be rc-U rc-U gayded as exorbitant. It is wnndcr- ' fnl' what a great fruit; region Colorado lias bet-omo. Colorado is not alouo in j ilevoloping the raising of fruit. Nearly nil the states in that section of tho country are producing the finest kind " and the greatest quantities of apples, peaches, etc. There are splendid op- L )orlunitic.s for young incnin tho west, tictfor chances. T. believe, than in any vthcr eouniry in the world." L Courses In Porestry. , "It is nor. generally known that for est, rangers in the west arc allowed to L take- courses in forcstrj' and eoiiserva- , tion work at the colleges and umversi- i t.ios of that section of tho country, but such is flic case, ''"Said O. L. Kennedy of Seattle. Kcccntlv, several hundred j'orost rangers were detailed by the gov- ij ornmont to study forest subjects at the s Universit.y of Washington. They arc A Ibore now, faking special courses. Some I of them came from as far south as ' California. In fact, tho forest students came from all .sections of the northwest. north-west. Tho course lasts foe three, months, and, of? course, is mostly practical. The o-angers continue on ibo. pay roll, just ' the same us if thoy -wore at work in the i forests. The governnlcnt believes ibat 1 thoy will bo better littod for their ac tual work by some theoretical instruc-f instruc-f tion and tho benefit of the experience i nf older and .experienced foresters. Whilo this -is an experiment, it is be- lio'cd that it will become a permanent ; mutter, and J,hc rangers will be .sent ; to tho univerriityr every winter to learn ' , more of their profession." j; Young Men In Navy. Tho era of tho young man in the ( United Stales navy in at hand. Through our system of lineal promotion Ameri can naval officers reach command rank i i'rom ten to twelve years lator than ' ibose of other navies. ''America to- i i day," said ono, officer to mo recently, '. has tho oldest officers of any first-rate ' power. Tho men are allowed to reniain ' an service until they arrive at the ago , limit, when thej aro quietly promoted and dropped from active service. 'This nieans that men awaiting promotion will be bold back untiP'thcir superior offi- ''.ors havo' reached the ago of GO years. ' .Such officers aro not physically able to j 'bear the strain of a prolonged war. A ,roar-admiraI, however, well versed tech-t tech-t jnically in nuval warfare, is not efficient if he is not capable of endurance. What . 'the American navy needs today is a set J of men who in youth will compare with , those of England- Thero is a difference of twelve 3-oars "in fhe nge of English i iind I'jiited Stale; commanders " Sec- ! retH'ry flayer proposes to chango all this as noon as )b is practical. Ho now has Caplain Hoy Smith working out a plan. What Arizona Expects. "Arizona expects statehood to be granted bor at this session of congress." said Dr. 3v. ,T. iUcAdory in an interview inter-view tho other day. Dr. JdcAdory for-inorJy for-inorJy was a resident of Washington, but now lives in Arizona. "Considering "Consider-ing tho wonderful progress that has boon made in the territory the last few years." he continued, "the. people be-liovu'thov be-liovu'thov arc entitled to the rights and privileges that go with statehood. This progress is the result of tho big irrigation irriga-tion projects which are now completed. Tho. most notable improvements have been along I ho lines of the Santa J''c, where settlors aro going inin largo numbers and towns springing fnto existence exist-ence at a remarkable rale. .Arizona's greatest resource, of course, liqs in her minerals, and these products aro receiving receiv-ing moro attention than ever before. Not satisfied with being tho greatest copper-producing slalo in Ibo United States, Arizona is developing with great vigor along many other lines. One. of flic most active sections is tho northern Yuma country, where largo sums of cajdorn and 'French capital aro being expended in developing numerous rich mines." ' . Wants Aviation Meet. Talking about things being up in the air not unnaturally leads the thought towards aviation. Washington is in sober earnest in its determination to got. the next international aviation meet, and a-j a man who is in tno habit of getting what ho goes aft or is head of Lho Washington Aero club, I.r. Thomas F. Walsh of Colorado, it is nut unlikely this ambition will bo gratified. The club not only wanls the next big meet, hue it wants to see Undo Sam take his proper place -with tho high flyers of the world. Tt has, therefore, decided lo use nil its infiuenco to havo the government gov-ernment lake proper steps towards the systematic development of aviation ju this country. Map of Canal Zono. At the request of Senator Flint and .Representative Taw 1163' a relief map of flic canal zone ami ono of the work at Cialum will bo made for exhibition at (.lto capitol in Washington." The map of tho zono is being mado in Washington, .but that of the Gatuu dam aud locks is in process of construction in tho office of-fice of the chairman at Culebra. The latest map will bo mado by pouring plaster over tho man now on exhibition exhibi-tion in tho chairman's office, thus pro-Curing pro-Curing a negative. A posit ivo caBt will then bo made and sont lo Washington. Efforts to Change Date. Quietly, but it is hoped effective', work ia being done to induce congress to tako tho necessary stops to cluuigo lho date for tho inauguration of. tho president so that the awful experience of the latest inauguration will bo avoided. Thero is eveiy prospect, too, that these efforts will be effectual. |
