PART TWO EDITORIAL PAGES ONE TO TEN. XXXIX—NO. 38, THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE. [WANT-ADS J,l" VOL. — OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 6, 1910, COPY FIVE CENTS. SINGLE The_entire season’s run of factory “seconds” of Spring Dress Goods from thetAtlantic Mills of Providence, R. I, bought from A, D. Juilliard & Co., 70-72 Worth Street, N. Y., who control the mill output, at less than fifty cents on the dollar Only those closely allied to the dry goods trade can appreciate to the full the real significance of this sale. This is probably the first time that dress goods from the Atlantic Mills are finding their way direct to a n*hulor. Heretofore the large wholesale jobbing houses of the country were the fortunate ones. The Atlantie Mills are the largest dress goods manufacturers in the United States. Almost every store knows and handles Atlantic Mills products.. The dress goods in this purchase known as ‘‘seconds’’ means that little imperfections appear here and there in the goods.” These little defects are so slight, however, as to be entirely nverlopkod were one's y attention not called to them. The high reputation of the makers would not permit them to be sold as perfeet goods, hence they ate called ‘‘seconds’ and sold as such at a tremendously reduced price. ‘This year Bennett’s got the “‘plum.”” We consider this the most fortunate ‘deal in the store’s history. This immense purchase will be sold at one price tomorrow. Absolutely the most phenomenal bargain price ever quoted here or anywhere. There are hundreds of. pieces, full bolts—just as put up at the mills. Scores of weaves, styles and shades that find favor this spring. The very goods everybody is buying. There are plain serges, Ottoman effects shadow stripes, novelty stripe suitings. As these are odd pieces the variety is naturally almost unlimited. e 9 SALE OPENS TOMORROW MORNING-Extra salespeople to wait on you.

Uncle Sam Is at least succeeding in his efforta to protect the coal, phosphate, oft beds and water power on the lands still owned by him. He has parties in the field making extended, detalled surveys of tracts down to the smallest legal subdlvision, and when deposits are found he proposes to | dispose of them at a price commensurate with at least an approximation wf thelr valug 18 now willing to sell coal lands on & feo simple basls, but if the views of the responsible authorities are accepted by congress the ofl and phosphate deposits and the water power will be leased and not sold. Leasing of coal is alto urged because it will afford a better method of controlling waste. When a4 man can, by the expenditure ot Jess than 10 cents an acre—and In some cases less than 1 cent—enhance the selling value of his land from $20 per acre to as much as #65 per acre, he ia something ot a gentus. Yet that is exactly what the geological survey has been dolng since 1906, There still remains some 70,000,000 acres of coal land In the possession of the goffernment, about §0,000.000 acres already been taken up. The old law, which Wil passed in 1573, set forth that all coal land should be sold under certaln terms and limited the amount any individual or corporation could buy. All such lands within fifteen miles of & raliroad should be sold at “not less than” $20 per acre, and all over fifteen miles should be sold at wgot less than" $10 per acre. Under the interpretation of the law the “not less than” was entirely omitted and $10 and $20 were made the maximum and only prices. Then the regulations of 1906 were prepared and they took cognizance of the “not less than.” Thereafter coal lands should be sold on & basis of their coal deposits. So the land was ordered classitied. Each foot of territory was gone over carefully and the quantity of coal estimated. The coal beds are the fossilized swamp growth formed just after the land emerged from the bottem of the sea. Some of these swamps were of enormous ¢xtent and the many different kinds of vegeta- tion« growing in them accumulated for many ages and gave rise to beds of coal of great regularity oversaide areas. The geologist takes an outcropping, measures its thickness at many points, and where he finds this uniform he knows the coal will continue of an approximately even thickness, all through the bed, uniess it bappens to be broken by fauits in- the rock. By following well established geolo- glc laws he is enabled to tell just what coal Is there, as well as if he used a diamond drill every twenty feet. After finding the queniity of eoal on each tract of forty acres, and platticg it on the offi- clal maps, the sale price of the land fs computed. There being mo provision for disposing of 1t on a royalty basis it must be sold outright. So & price is fized that will allow every one who takes a tract Vo make & §ood profit from It, yet which is |1ative holdings may high enough_ that purchase for mere specu- be discouraged. It is figured that the life of the usual coal mine will not exceed twenty years, and that it will take that long to get all the coal out |of a tract On this basis, the actual cash value of the customary 10-cent royalty would be cut down to one-half that amount. Then, to err on the side of generosity toward the entryman, the present day cash value of the prospective royalty is again cut In half. That would make the average roy- alty about 2 cents a ton. But all the coal is not of uniform quality, and Uncle Sam wants to encourage the development of the cheaper grades. To accomplish this he puts a present day cash value on the coal In the mine down to 3 cent a ton on the cheap coal, and up to § cents & ton on the best coal. As about two-thirds of the 70,000,000 acres of coal lands contain the cheaper grades, it will be seen that the major portion of the total tonnage will be sold on & basis of % a cent a ton, unmined value. In other particular these terms are most ad- Vvanlageous to the purchyser. In the com- mercial market the royalty is usually about 10 cents a ton at the mouth of the mine, no matter whether it is the finest bitumi- nous te be found or the cheapest lignite that is mined. Therefore, In the majority of cases, the coal operstor who buys gov- ernment land will get coal for 3% a cent a ton that would cost him 10 cents if he bought from private parties, the only aif- ference being that in the former case he pays cash in advance. But even at this price the government gets more out of it than under the old terms of sale. The maximum valug of & single township in Wyoming, undgr the old regulations, was §49,00. Under the pres- ent regulations it is $,206000.

Probably not over a third of the coal lands have been sur- veyed In detail yet, but when it is all done | Unecle Sam will be hundreds of millions of {dollars to the good by the operation. There are some features of the existing law which are thought to be rather bur- densome. An individual can take up only 160 acres of land at the prices fixed. A firm or corporation can take up 320 acres, and It at least $5,000 is spent for develop- ment they may take up an additional 520 acres adjoining, prond«d no one has done 50 already. In practice this provision seldom gives a corporation or firm the op- portunity of acquiring the additional 220 acres. It is plain that where a company has to spend & quarter of a million dollars for a rallroad outlet; and a million more for equipment, a $M-acre tract scarcely Justifies such expenditure. The protection of the public land phos- phate beds in the west Is deemed abso- lutely essential to the weifare of the na- tion. There are three things necessary to the growth of crops, as water, food and miment are essential to human welfare. These three things are nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acld. Each Is absolutely cssential to plant growth. Potash exists in the rocks in sufficient quantities to supply every need when it cannot Mttle chemical labordtories at their roots, can grab enough nitrogen from the air to supply the wants of the flelds. But when the phosphate beds are gone, no one has solved the problem where to get phos- phorus. With this situation in view the adminis- tration wants to preserve and protect the phosphate beds. It is seeking to have & law passed by congress which will enable it to lease the lands on a royalty not ex- ceeding 10 per cent of the value of the be | phosphate at the mouth of the mine. This would glve opportunity to provide in the terms of the lease that none of it should be exported or wasted. The proposed law sets forth that the lessee shall pay a rental increasing 2 cents each year thereafter until the annual rental is $1 pér acre. These rentals are to deducted from amounts due the government in royaities ertles. Surveys during the last year have resulted in the withdrawal of 2,504,000 acres of public land pending legislation hy con- gress on the disposition of the phosphate deposits. In other words, the cxecutive departments think that this land ought uGt 1o be disposed of under existing st utes, ¥o they are holding it until congress ean have an oRportunity to act in the mat- ter.
