PACIFIC COAST COAL

| IL has been generally accepted that the supply of coal on the Pacific coast | is so limited that manufacturing devel- opment has been retarded, and some have argued that the full expansion of Pacific commerce would be prevented
 by the same deficiency. According to
 the census reports, the coal production
 of the Unitde States in 1901 was 26S,
 315,O tons. The entire Pacific coast of
 North America produced during that
 year only 4,216905 tons, and of this
 amount about one-half (2504 ,190 tons)
 was produced on the American side of the line. The transmission of electrici- ty and the development of oil produc- tion have been hailed as substitutes, and they are destined to be of valuable service. It now appears, however that the fault has been, not with the lack of coal, but with the failure to make use of the coal supply. A writer in the En- gineering Magazine says that the west surpasses the east in the extent of its coal deposits, The Crows Nest coal fields, in British Columbia, are hun dreds of miles in extent. The fields in Washington and Oregon cover an area of seven hundred and fifty miles. Near the White River Pass railroad in Alas ka valuable coal mine is being devel- oped. Near the Chilcat river, between Mount St. Elias and the mouth of the Copper river, are important fields where the coal is reported to be eNtraordina- rily good. On the Renal Peninsula good coal crops out in numerous veins, and the most extensive Alaskan fields are on Herendeen Bay, where the coal is hard, brilliant, clean-- and very strong" The shortest steamer route to Asia from the United States passes within twenty miles of these fields. and it is also the nearest of all American coal mines to the island possessions of this country. When these fields are de- veloped there should be no lack of coal for all purposes.-San Francisco Argo- naut.

HE WANTED TO KNOW.

"Of all the racy stories that spring up when the horses are running at Ben nings. I think the one about certain Irishman who bet his weeks wages on a sure thing is about the best" said a lucky clerk at the district building the other day.
 The old fellow went out to the track to make killing" continued the clerk. He had been tipped off in great style to play one of the horses, and had promised to bring Bridget enough mon ey hometo buy whole set of spring bonnets and clothes galore. He rushed into the betting ring, where the odds were one hundred to one against his sure thing He reached down in his trousers pocket and pulled out his roll. Carefully he counted off the bills They were all of the minimum green back denomination-one dolar-and he peeled of ten, leaving no core at all.
 Pat made the bes all right, and then walked off smiingly. He began to fig ure out how much money he would have when the winning numbers were posted. It's a thousand methinks,' he commented And then he pondered. No, he unused; begobs, l will have thousand and tin
 Well, to make long story short the race was quickly run, and Pats sure thing pulled in last, about three min utes behind the flyers in front. Pat saw the horses go by the stand his col ors trailing. His hopes had gone up in the hir. Then he saw the horses come back to the judges stand for the jock eys to weigh out Pat went to the fence, and calling to the boy who had the mount on the sure thing he said:

the statement that "Oxford is not an education, but life" Possibly one might ask other questions after this, but never knew any one who did
 The American thinks that the edu- cated man should differ from the uned- ucated not so much by what he knows IS by his freedom from prejudices and irrational conservatism, by his eager ness for all wise changes in language, institutions and customs The Ameri- can thinks that a university should all ways be in advance of public opinion, and it seems to him that Oxford, in- stead of being in the van of progress, has often been behind and like d can non pointing backward has been slowly dragged from point to point as the peo- pie advanced, He admires Oxford be- cause it is ancient but he dislkes it be- cause it is not modern. That it gives culture he knows, but he fears it is not the kind of culture demanded by mod ern life. He likes Gothic windows, but thinks that one who looks through them will not get wide view of ths world.
 What we are afraid of is that the stu dent in his three years residence at the home of lost causes' may acquire somewhat of insularity which will be out of place on our continent; that he may wish to wrap himself in a rug rather than share the common warmth of steam heated cars; that he may pre- fer books with uncut edges and in linn ited editions, and that he may build him a house with a high stone wall around it crowned with broken bottles rather than sit in the cool of the even Ing on the front stoop, where he may see and be seen of passing neighbors in the good old American way.
 For our boys their course in college is the busiest time of their lives, while ev cry moment counts when see passing on every side opportunities which they cannot seize. They expect to take it easier when they get out, Is there not danger that they may lose something of this strenuous spirit under the se- ductive influence of messy ruins and grow etiolated beneath the shadow of English ivy? The American boy be- lieves in fair play. He does not think 1t either manly or right to exclude any one from even competition on the STbuuu ul SeA ne Hay pelIIdp pS nave been beaten in the classroom by girl schoolmate and felt the hurt of it, but he did not play the baby act and refuse her the prize of victory, Possibly if he becomes a senior wrangler he will see things differently and want some legal protection against the competition of the weaker sex. But we hope not.
 At any rate, we are grateful to Cecil Rhodes for an interesting experiment in education. and we shall watch with eagerness to see what sort of public men our Oxfordized Americans turn out to be. Tn the mean time we would sug- gest that some phiSnthropic Turk en- dow scholarships in the University of Cairo, so that we may send me of our young men there to study the Koran and Moslem law-From The Independ- ent.

SCHELL Frank w. Schell,
the second son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chats. Schel1 Of Keytesville, who
had been afflicted with goiter a
year or more, died at the home
of his parents Monday afternoon,
Oct. 13, 1902, between and 5
O'Clock. He was up and about
the streets Sunday and had the
appearance for several weeks Of
being much improved, and not
only looked better but felt better.
But he was taken suddenly worse
Sunday night and in less than
twenty -four hours he breathed
his last. He was born in Key
tesville Oct. 25, 1875, and was,
therefore, 26 years, II months
and Is days of age at the time of
his death. He was married to
Miss Anna Powell Of Kansas
City, Mo-, May %, 1900. His
wife survives him, also his par
ents and four brothers and two
sisters. Frank was a barber by
trade and left home about G
years ago, the greater part OF
which time he had been in Kan
sas City. He was young man
with a kind heart and bore his
affliction bravely, murmuring
but little and always hopeful OF
recovery. Funeral services were
conducted at the family resi-.
dence Tuesday afternoon at
o'clock by Rev. Franc. Mitchell
of the Presbyterian church. The
floral offerings were beautiful
and were contributed by friends
Interment was had in the City
cemetery. The COURIER extends
symp athies to the young wife
and sorrowing parents ano

son said the storm was on the
zigzag order, and seemed to lose
its force in one place and then
would gather it again a little
further on. In the main, how
ever, the path of the storm was in
a straight line from southwest to
northeast and the wind was ac-
companied by a downpour of
rain. Mr.. Robinson informs us
that no damage was done in his
immediate neighborhood, but the
cloud from which the cyclone
came was SO ominous in appear
ance that he was badly frighten-
ed.

PACE-HYDE:-A pretty home
wedding occurred at the resi-
dence of the brides father, H.
c. Hyde, just north of this city,
Thursday, Oct. 16, 1902, when
Virgil E. Pace of Palestine, Tex,
led to Hymen's altar Miss Mil
pred T. Hyde. The wedding
march was gracefully played by
Miss Ernestine Smith, and the
marriage ceremony, pleasing in
eloquence and impressive in ef-
feet, was spoken by Rev. Alpha
Ingle. After the marital vows
were made the usual congratu-
lations and good wishes of the
assembled guests were extended.
The bride was becomingly at
tired in a costume cf Persian
silk foulard and white kid gloves
and carried a boquet of cosmos.
The bridegroom was clad a black
suit, white kid gloves and white
tie. The decorations consisted
of cosmos and autumn leaves.
Mrs. Pace was the recipient of
several nice presents, among
them lovely diamond ring from
Mr.. Pace. She is one of Key
tesville's most deserving young
ladies, and has poss essed that
faithfulness to her fathers home
since the death of her mother
that marks woman in her true
loveliness and betokens a du-
tiful wife and invaluable help.

Texas, carriage painter and
trimmer by trade, and has every
appearance of being a gentle
man in the fullest acceptation of
the term. The COURIER hopes
for them unbounded JOYS in their
relations as husband and wife.
They will spend few days with
Keytesville friends and relatives
before leaving for Chicago where
they will remain two weeks with
relatives before repairing to their
southern home at Palestine,
Tex, which is !. nice city of
$4,000 inhabitants.
