Companies that have expended thous- ands of dollars in seeking to demon strate that stock raising can be sue cessfully accomplished on islands on the Aleutian group, have seen their speculations crowned with success. The herds placed by the Frye-Bruhn Company on Kadiak island have thrived we'll and increased. A severe winter has worked no hardship on the stock wintering on those isolated Alaskan isles. The Kadiak is only one of thousand islands that comprise the Aleutian archipelago.

 According to the geological survey, the quality of the coal of Alaska is superior to that of the celebrated Pocahontas mine of West Virginia and compares favorably with some of the semi-anthracite of Pennsylvania. When these mines are opened and producing to their full capacity, the fuel problem will not only be solved for Northern Alaska, but in measure for the navy on the Pacific If this coal is equal to Pocahontas, and the geological survey says it is superior, it will not be neces- sary for the navy department to send coal out to the Pacific stations for the use of warships, because there will be a better coal had much more cheaply on this coast. 1t is an item of no small importance that the coal meas ures of Alaska which have been devel oped lie very close to the great circle route to Asia. If coal of a superior quality and especially valuable for steaming purposes is mined there, it will supply vessels engaged in the trade between the Pacific ports and Asia. This will tend to reduce the amount of coal taken on at either end of the voyage, increasing to this extent the cargo space.-P. 1.
