THE GREAT COAL
FIELDS OF ALASKA


OF the coo, 900 square miles form
ing the territory of Alaska II is esti-
mated that 1884 square miles are
underlain by coal-bearing rocks
that is, rocks that probably contain
coal seams; 1888 square miles con-
tain known deposits of coal, ranging
I'm age from carboniferous to terti-
ary and in composition from anthra-
cite of good quality through high
grade semi-bituminous steam and
coking Goals and ordinary bitumin-
Gus coal TO lignites of various char
scters. Many of the known coal de-
posits are of great thickness, espe-
cially where the coal carries large
carbon content; but, unfortunately
high grade Of coal and great thick
ness of beds are as a rule accom-
panied by geological structure unfav-
orable to mining.
From the Pacific coast to Berine
sea and the Arctic slope, through the
valleys OF Copper and Yukon rivers
and their tributaries coal beds are
widely distributed. and although u
is unlikely that any except the high
grade Goals of the Pacific coast anS
the Matanuska and Bering rive
lnelds are suitable for shipment IA
from the mines. many others may b

Town Fire-Swept.

Huntington, w. Va, Nov. 23.-Al-
most the entire town of Oceana, wy
oming county, fifty miles south Of
here, was destroyed by fire yesterday.
The loss will exceed 100000, with
but little insurance.
The fire started in the Kelley Hotel.
The town has no waterworks or fire
fighting facilities and the blaze
spread with rapidity, defying all the
efforts OF the hastily organized
bucket brigade.
Oceana was, until about q year ago,
the county seat OF Wyoming county.
1t was thriving village, of somo 400
inhabitants. The principal industry
was numbering.

What Would You Do?

In case of a burn or scald what
would you do to relieve pain? Such
injuries are liable to occur In any
family and everyone should be pre-
pared for them. Chamberlain's Salve
applied on a soft cloth will relieve
the pain almost instantly, and unless
the injury is very severe one, will
cause the parts to heal without leav-
ing scar. For sale by J. w. Bell,

BAD pax for OIL Trust.

Chicago. STANDARD Oil received
three jolts in the rebate fight in the
federal court Wednesday. Its at
torneys failed in an attack upon the
Indictment charging the oil trust with
violating the Elkins antiIebate law.
They saw the government prove the
probability that the oil trust knew 1t
was breaking the law when 1t ac'
cepted secret rates on shipments
southwest from the Chicago district.
Finally they were beaten IN an eff
fort to keep from the jury copy
of the Chicago & Alton freight sched,
ule the oil company Is charged with
evading.
The most severe blow yet dealt the
company was given by Judge Lands
In his refusal to quash 1917 of the
1903 counts In the indictment.
ALI doubt as to whether the trust
knew the legal rates OF traffic was
dispelled by the testimony of F. s.
Hollins, tariff clerk of the Chicago &
Alton railroad, who declared that
copies of the tariff were sent out to
hundreds of shippers, including the
Standard company, whenever new
rates were adopted,

now remains Is TO put on the finishing

are coming in by mail, by phone and
by wire, almost begging for space, for
realization has come to the manufao.
turers that Boston is the business
show, while many others are merely
exhibitions of automobiles,
The tremendous size of this exhi-
bition can be realized when it Is
known that the boat and engine ex-
hibit alone Is at least four times the
size Of any special boat and engine
show ever given in this country, and
yet this particular part OF the great
exposition is only a small fraction Of
the tremendous whole,
More automobiles and accessories
will be seen together In these great
halls the coming week than were ever
shown before under one roof The i'm
mensity of the show dawns upon one
as he passes through the aisles, for,
while one realizes that large exhibit
tion is before him, yet as he passes
from hail to hall and sees area after
area filled with cars, accessories and
boats, he begins to realize that he is
one of thousands who are viewing the
most modern and up-to-date vehicles,
boats, etc, ever brought together un
der one roof.

Several Persons Injured.

Warren, Penn.-A train on the
Western New York & Pennsylvania
division of the Pennsylvania railroad
was wrecked recently between Irvine
ton and this place. The train plunged
over a 25-foot embankment, and nine
persons were injured, none fatally.
The train was running behind a
freight, and when three-quarters OF
a mile from Warren the freight ran
into siding to allow the passenger
train to pass. The switch was not
entirely closed, and two cars of the
passenger train were thrown from the
rails and down an embankment into
a pond of water. Near the railroad
track runs a pipe line Of the Pennsyl-
vania gas company, carrying 200
pounds pressure. This pipe line was
broken and the coaches filled with
natural gas.
Nearly every passenger on the train
was bruised or cut, and several were
taken to the hospital for treatment.
