PATENT OFFICE is FLOODED.
Press of Inventions Leads to Demand
for Lsrner Quarters.

" =Gf SSi
The inventive breed is not dying out
N America. The commissioner OF
patents at Washington calls loudly for
larger quarters, more clerks and big.
ger pay for overworked examiners.
There Is such a flood of new devices
pouring into the patent Office as was
never seen before. The examiners are
fairly swamped and are a full yeai
behind in their work.
Naturally enough. motors and sub
marine and aerial navigating devices
lead the list. Modern man insists
p o flying, 4 the inventor who adds
speed to his passing to and fro upon
the earth, in the air, or in or under
the water is certain Of his reward.
The inventors are no believers in
the early coming of peace among the
nations, for improvements upon weap-
ons and new explosives are well nigh
as numerous as new motors. Yet with
all this cunning for gain and racing
for fame on the part of the inventors
the chances are that some unconsid-
cred trife like the wooden ball with q
rubber string or the globe catch for
women's purses will win the largest
rewards in the future as in the past.

PROFIT IN YUKON FARMING.
Ready Market Found for All That Can
Be Produced.

Ready Market Found for All That Can
Be Produced.
w. M. Swinehart has compiled for
publication the results of his expert
ence in farming at Fort Selkirk, and
these show that, taking one season
with another, the crops raised and the
prices received for the product are
sufficient to cause the average farmer
in the States to look to the North with
envy, says the Seattle Post.Intelli-
gencer.
Dat hay, the chief crop produced,
yields about three tons to the acre
and sells readily in the spring at from
500 10 S125 a ton. Demand he's v
been lacking for all the hay the farm
produces since the Dawson White
HCrse stage line, on which from $50
to 400 horses are used every winter
fol several months, passes within a
fen miles OF the farm. Potatoes yield
from three to FIVE tons to the acre
and bring as much as % cents a pound.
The average price for a series of years
has been a fraction over 20 cents a
pound.
Rutabagas yield six tons to the acre
AID sell for 6 cents a pound, Or $720 an
acre. Carrots yield three tons to the
acre and sell as Is cents a pound, a re-
turn of 5000 to the acre. Cabbages
vary in production according to sea-
son., ranging from three to eight tons
an acre, and the price ranges from Is
to 20 cents a pound. 1t is an excep-
tional season when the Swinehart farm
does not net its owners an income OF
$4,000.

COOL, COOL WEATHER
 PREVAILED YESTERDAY

Did you notice 1t yesterday morning or were you too sleepy? The weather was actually cool. so cool in fact that many felt inclined to get under a lit- tie cover and to shut off electric fans that had been buzzinz nearly all night. For day in August yesterday cer- tainly seemed a freak compared with what has been Montgomery's portion for the past two months.
 It was delightful all day. Not A single moment was oppressive. A gentle breeze blew all of the eunlit hours and last night promised to be a repetition of the previous night. May be today will be a repetition of yester- day
 The local weather bureau said yes- terday afternoon that the highest tenn. perature for the day was s2 as com pared with 90 1-2 of the day previous, Just how far a drop of The mercury took during the early part of the morning could not be ascertained. It ought to take all day and part of the next to climb from the depths where 1t rested yesterday back to the sizzling point which it has occupied for several weeks past.

In parts of Coffee, Dale and Geneva Counties. the snat most commonly found is nearly white, while in the other counties of Southeast Ala bana, the common black variety is prevalant in the largest numbers. It is thought that this form is the one which increases so rapidly and reaches It's highest development in the Gulf States, where gnats periodically appear in great numbers. As their presence usually is followed by an epidemic of sore eyes many people in Henry. Hous- ton and Covington Counties attribute the recent spread of this disease to the presence of the ygnat plague.
 Last week shoppers and business men of Dothan found 1t almost impossible to select goods or to wait on the trade properly while ''batting'' at the insects. Travelling men were forced to carry an extra supply of cigars and tobacco with which to smoke out the little pests as they swarmed into their eyes and ears. Peek-a-boo waists and open work hosiery have ceased to be popu- lar since the gnat arrived to make life miserable for anyone venturing outside during the day.

Alnska Is Territory
 For Great Cool ReserOe

of the bituminous coals make good coke. Colxing IS the severest test of a soft coal and gives 1t especial value in a metalliferous region. Some of the coal seams of the territory are of great thickness. I have observed solid coal"
 Prof. W. A. Atwood, a geoiogist of the Survey is this year finishing up ir- vestigation of Alaska coal preparatory to writing a summary of the present knowledge of the coal reserve of the Territory, based upon his and other previous Survey investigations.
 "As far back as 1902 said Mr. Brooks, the Geological Survey began q systematic study of Alaska coal fields, commencing with a geologic reconnaissance of the low grade bitum- inous and ignite coals of the Yukon region In 1909, 1908, 1904 and 1905 investigations were made of the coal felds of the Controller Bay region and in 1905 the Matsanuska field was studied in geologic detail In these two fields there are 100 square miles of lands underlain by workable coals containing anthracite and bituminous fuels of the highest grade. In 1909 the Herendeen Bay bituminous coal region was studied by Survey geoio- gists. In 1908 coal investigations were made of the southeastern Alaska coal fields, which have not. however. prov ed of economic importance. In 1904 the geologic study of the Cape Lis burne coal region was commenced. This is a bituminous coal field con- taining soft coal that ranges from low to high grade and at present it's boundaries are only partially known. In 1904 Survey work was commenced in the large Ignite fields Of the Kenai Peninsula"
 The work of the Geological Survey Is thus being carried out along defi- mite lines of determining the coal resources Of Alaska not only with re- lation to local consumption but with reference to their effect upon the total coal reserve of the country. The showing highly satisfactory because of the comparative lack of large de- veloped coal supplies on the Pacific Coast of the United States proper.
 ''The Alaska coal fields," said MT. Brooks, particularly those carrying a high grade fuel, like the Controller Bay and the Matsanuska fields are des. tined to play an important part in the advancement of industry on the entire Paeinc seaboard of the North Ameris can continent.
 The minable coal, In the ground, in Alaska, has not yet been definitely estimated. and whatever estimates are T ade, for some years to come, will doubtless be subject to wide expansion as further geological explorations are carried forward; but it is proper to say that the coal resources of the Ter ritory are very great and that they will be figured in hundreds of mill lions and even billions of tons"
