RENE BACHE.

trated far into the fur country to the north, accompanied only by Canadian voyageurs. Equally well she knows the great Southwest.

RENE BACHE, making his

residence in the city of Washington, is directly in touch with the chiefs of the various bureaus, and all his articles are, therefore, authentic and from first hand.

FORREST CRISSEY is an exponent of opportunities, especially of farming opportunities. From his country home, an hour's ride out of Chicago, he sallies forth-to study and write about conditions-east, south, and

CHARLES DILLON, is head of the department of Industrial Journalism, at the Kansas Agricultural College. Of himself he writes to the editors: "I do two things: work in the garden and write about it."

He does both of these things with equal vigor and enthusiasm.

Mr. Dillon realizes the tremendous good that the editor of the country weekly newspaper could do in his community if he had the proper training. He could be a power in the proper transmission of agricultural research to the farmer. That is one of the purposes-though of course only one-of the department of Industrial Journalism.

Mr. Dillon has turned his energies into a department of collegiate instruction which is still very new. It seems rather remarkable that so important a field of education should have been so long neglected as has this.

Mr. Dillon was one of the first to realize that a college is a place where something more than mere culture is to be obtained. He understands it is a place for the learning of practical things as well.

DR. WALSH is a vigorous advocate of the prevention rather than the cure of disease. This, he believes, is the true function of the physician. He devotes himself solely to writing. His strong articles in THE TECHNICAL WORLD have stirred up considerable comment. Dr. Walsh has studied extensively abroad, in the great medical schools of Paris, Berlin, and

TECHNICAL WORLD MAGAZINE FOR JUNE

GRABBING THE WEST'S LIQUID FUEL

By

WALTER V. WOEHLKE

[graphic]

We have been so busy conserving our forests, our water power, our Alaskan coal fields, that the vast oil area of the West has been staked out by alleged "prospectors," turned over to "developing" companies and the eminent domain of "this libertyloving, sovereign people" has once more in another direction been exploited for private aggrandizement. Possession of any mineral claim rests upon the discovery of mineral. No rights of any kind are acquired under the law prior to such discovery. No one is entitled to a reward

for pointing out a haystack as the locus of a lost diamond. California oil "prospectors" squatted upon the haystack-that is, the public domain-did nothing and asked tribute of those willing to search for the jewel. Mr. Woehlke shows in this strong article how both Congress and the Department of the Interior have most signally failed in the performance of their duty.

This is one of the most powerful articles the TECHNICAL WORLD MAGAZINE has printed. It is the June leader.
