NO CAUSE FOR
COAL FAMINE
ON ACCOUNT OF GOVERNMENT
WITH D r A W AL OF COAL
LANDS - GREAT AREAS OF
SUCH LANDS AVAILABLE.

Washington, July 26.-That the coal
famine was neither necessary nor i'm
minent is the opinion of Acting Sec
retary Woodruff of the interior de.
partment. In a statement today he
discussed the coal area, saying:
Not including great areas Of
Ignite, which can be mined only
after more valuable coal deposits are
exhausted, the geological survey has
determined that there are townships
west OF South Dakota, Nebraska and
Kansas. aggregating over sixty mil
lion acres. each township Of which
contains workable deposits of coal
During the present year the town
ships containing more than twenty
eight million acres. in which work
able coal exists has been examined.
When one remembers that these
areas are conveniently situated with
reference to transportation, and that
every acre is subject TO purchase un-
der coal land laws, that many thou
sand acres have already passed into
private holding, it is not easy to see
any coal famine next winter except
as result Of failure to mine the coal.
"Of coal land still held by the gov
ernment over 25,000000 acres are
held at the minimum prices of ten
and twenty dollars per acre. over
2290OO at fifty. and over 10000 at
seventy-fye."

IA singular CONTRAST to the genialty
and jovial ways of Camille He was
| the typical business man. He wished
his son to go into business and appren~
ticed him to a wholesale cloth mer-
chant. Camille, who dreamed only Of
painting, conceived a violent aversion
to commerce and seized every oppor-
tunity to escape from the shop and go
up to his room to copy drawings. His
employer was very dissatisfied with
him and complained to his father, who
reprimanded him severely. At last one
day the young man did not go to bust
ness and told his father that he must
follow his vocation, even if it brought
him misery. Seeing that nothing could
alter this decision Every WELL" the
father answered. Il will give you 1000
francs annualIy-not a centime more
and you will make the best you can
of it,"
Camille leaped for joy. He imme-
diately made preparations for depar-
ture, left home and installed himself
in the little hamlet of Morvan, at a
farrier's whose numerous family was
crowded into the only room. which
was the forge. COrot there contracted
the habits of the peasantry, which he
retained ever after. He had no needs
lived only for his art and found COM
plete happiness in it.
For long time Corot remained at
the farrier's, satisfied with the coarse
food, happy in his liberty and feeling
rich with his modest allowance. En-
dowed with robust health and being |
jovial by nature, he always sang while |
he worked, and his gayety never de-
serted him.
At his fathers death Corot found |
himself possessed of a revenue of 40
600 francs, but this opulence did not
change his rustic habits. He continued
his simple and laborious life. Always
up before dawn, he putson the peas
ants clothes that he wore all his life,
ate his soup, lit his pipe and with his
box in his hand and his easel on his
shoulder started for his work. his So
norous voice ringing out joyously.-G.
