self government is working all

conclusion he said that he be-
lieved men were beginning to
read their bibles to learn how to
live-instead of to learn of heav-
en-, and in a glowing tribute to
Christianity he declared that
"the sun never sets on Christian
institutions of philanthropy and
service in the Orient"-that our
religion, coming as it did from
the Orient, is now on it's way
back to the Orient, where it will
work wonders for civilization
there as it has in the Christian
world.

the mines, many others may be To-
cally Of extreme Importance and great
value.
The coal mining industry Of Alaska
is still practically undeveloped, the
total production for 1s06-the year of
greatest output-being but $500 short
tons, valued at $4,000. The most
active mining operations have been
on Cook inlet, in southwestern Alas
ka, on the Yukon. in Seward penin-
sula and at Cape Lsburne. All of
these were for the purposes of local
fuel on small coastwise or river
steamers, at mining camps and at
canneries.
Much Attention Is Paid to Deposits.
Alaskan Goals have in recent years
been the subject of a large amount
of special investigations by the geo.
logical survey, and in addition much
information concerning the coal has
been gathered each year since regu-
lar geologic work was begun in Alas
ka by survey parties working primar-
lily on other problems.
A brief summary of the result Of
these investigation, illustrated by a
map showing the distribution and area
of coal and coal-bearing rocks, is in
cluded in the report on progress Of
investigations of mineral resources Of
Alaska In 1906, published by the sur
vey as bulletin No. 314. This sum-
mary, prepared by G. c. Martin, is

Information from Washington dis
closes the fact that the government
is attempting to ascertain the quantity
Of coal available for future consump-
tion in its territory, and has been in
vestigating the deposits in Alaska
OF the 100000 square miles which
comprise that territory it is estimated
that 1854 square miles are under
lain by coal-bearing rocks--that is,
rocks that probably contain coal
seams; 1888 square miles contain
known deposits of coal, ranging in
age from carboniferous to tertiary and
in composition from anthracite and
coking Goals and ordinary bitumin-
Gus coal to lignites of various char
acters. Many of the known coal de-
posits are of great thickness, espe-
cially where the coal carries a large
carbon content; but, unfortunately,
high Grade Of coal and great thick
ness of beds are as a rule accuSi-
panied by geologic structure unfav-
orable to mining.
From the Pacific coast to Bering
sea and the Arctic slope, through
the valleys of Copper and Yukon riv-
ers and their tributaries. coal beds
are widely distributed; and although

10 Serve Ten Years In Penitentiary
Notorious Character.

La Grande, July 24.--Josie Palmer
who has been a terror to the police
of this city for years and who has
been the cause of the death of one
man, this afternoon appeared before
the circuot court and withdrew her
plea of not guilty, whereupon Judge
Crawford passed sentence of seven
years In the penitentiary but then
paroled her pending good behavior
and she must report to the judge every
80 days. The charge upon which she
faced the court this morning was that
of attempting to kill her own child.
1t is understood that the authori-
ties will take charge Of the little girl
and place her where she will have a
chance to amount to something.
Which has been an impossibility up
to this time.

LOGICAL, BUT INSANE.
Vinerty, Drunk on Echo Booze, Says
He Is From Hell.

That he has just emerged from the
torrid gates of hell is firmly believed
by Mike Vinerty, the insane man who
was brought up from Echo last even-
ing by Deputy Sheriff Joe Blakley.
Vinerty was taken into custody just
below Echo yesterday and was vio-
lently insane at the time. Since his
arrival here his condition has not been
so bad, but he is still demented.
vinerty's trouble is said to have
arisen from his desire to destroy too
large a percentage of Echo whiskey,
and the officers believe he will be all
right again in a few days.

Great Roadway has been made with
the harvest this week, and a number
of threshers and combines are telling
the story of the soils fertility, the
hrst day threshing proving that the
yield of the grain will be even better
than had been anticipated. The reason
OF this is found in the perfect condi-
lions during the last four weeks Of
the growth of the grain. the cool
weather and frequent rains causing
the wheat to form large heads filled
with plump and heavy grains. No
definite figures can yet be given as re-
CARDS yields. The threshers started
Thursday on R. S. Booths farm n, AZ
Pullman in field that had been esti-
mated at from 80 to IS bushels per
acre. and the report is that it is turn
ing nearer fifty bushels per acre. The
combine was started on Henry Young S

port is that it is turning out extra
good. = The oat crop will also be ex-
eeiient' in fact the best in years.

also in class for standard bred stations
for all ages.
Gallatin Grattan's conformation: AiA-
dividuality, breeding and reproductive
qualities all combined in one horse 90
to make that desire of all conserva-
tive breeders, an ideal stallion. His
pedigree on both sides is rich in the
blood that has made the history of
the turf that has produced game
horses and grand individuals. That
he will beget speed and grand road

do so for ages to come. This custom
IS of ancient origin. The first people
to dance were the Curetes, who adopt
ed dancing as a mark of rejoicing in

combined dancing with the drama, and
