No Freeze-outs for Years

The amount of coal in the mines Of
Alaska cannot be estimated at this
time, according to a statement Of Al
fred H. Brooks, the official in charge
Of the United States geological sur
vey in that territory. But 1t is safe
to say, he declares, that there are
hundreds Of millions, and even billions
Of tons there. There is fully 10000
square miles Of Alaska whose mineral
resources are unknown and perhaps
the remainder Of the land, or the
greater part Of 1t, has been imperfect
ly explored. Wonderful stories of
the coal resources Of Alaska are told
by the United States geologists. Some
Of the coal lands discovered approach
close to the shores Of the Arctic 0cea,
There are some on the sharp peninsu
IA which tuts out from the southwest
em corner Of the territory. dividing
Behring Sea from the Pacific. The
quality Of the coal ranges from Ig-
mite to the best bituminous, similar

Uncle Sam Buys 200 Cars Of Oats

Uncle Sam Buys 200 Cars Of Oats
The biggest deal Of the kind OF
record here was put through at the
Chamber Of Commerce last week when
the government bought, from the
w. P. Deveneux company, zoo car
loads of oats for shipment to the
Philippines. Five trainloads of oats
must go forward to fill the order.
Colonel ]. E. Sawyer, deputy quar-
termaster genaral.of st. Pail, hand
led the bids for the government,
which included offers from San Fran
cisco, Portland and Seattle firms. Min
neapolis won in the business compe-
tition.
The government buys oats for the
army by weight and the sale covers
Z million pounds. Packed In double
SACKS, une oats cost about $37 q
ton laid down In Seattle, and for
the horse food thus acquired in this
one order to a Minneapolis firm the
bill will be about $4,000.
The transaction has a significance
greater than that attached to the
volume Of business involved 10 that
1t will add to the prestige Of the MIN
neapohs market as a coarse grain
supply center. With some obvious ID
vantages with reference to position
the West coast markets were yet un
able to land the business against MIN

The Late Election.

The campaign Of 1908 and the elec
ton following have passed into histo-
ry, and once more the emblem Of
victory perches over the Republican
banner In the state and nation,
while Democracy holds forth in this
county. For the third time Mr.. Bry-
an, the idol of the rank and file
Of the Democratic panty, tasted the
bitterness Of defeat, and while his
friends regret with him the loss Of
the presidency they and he have the
consolation Of knowing that some Of
the principles he has been advocat-
ing are now being advocated by his
enemies. 80 cent wheat and prosper
ity IN the west, threatened loss of
employment for the laborers 10 the
east where the bread lines are al
neady long made up Of unemployed,
brought about the election d Mr,
Taft.
In the state campaign the result
of the primary which placed the
square deal element of the Repubh-
can party in power, helped to win a
Republican victory.
The fight in Barton county was on
Of great activity on the part Of the
Democrats, and with about four hum
dred more votes polled than had ev.
er been polled bfore. The county Is
Democratic by about ESQ, Tho CAM
paign was speaking campaign and
was waged with persistency all along
the line. The county ticket is Dem
ocratic except on County superin-
tendent, District Clerk, and the two
commissioners. On surveyor there
was no opposition to the Republican
candidate. The maiorities of the
various candidates are as follows:

II rs automatically reported
that Henry Hewitt, Jr., holder
Of the $4,000 mortgage on the
Great Western Beet Sugar CON-
pany's irrigation system, has
made a proposition to J. Il. Gar
rett, the chief executive officer
Of the company, looking toward
what would be, in effect, a peace
able foreclosure Of the mort
gage. AS part OF the pro-
posed transfer to Hewitt, it II
stated that he will give a bond
to the water users to guarantee
them that the system will be
completed and that all bona
fide water rights will be recog-
nized and honored. II this re-
port is correct, the water users
and busine ss OF Mountain Home
should take time and interest
enough to look into the pro-
posed deal carefully, and if they
find, on investigation, that the
change would be to the best in.
terest Of all concerned, should
bring such pressure to bear on
the company as to compel its
acceptance OF the offer.
II is now apparent to all
reasonable men who are &C
quainted with the situation, that
there is practically no chance al
al for Garrett to keep the
company alive and moving.
Whatever he has done in the
past it is now q fact, undenied
and undeniable, that he is 4
dead weight to the company
and the community, and by re-
naming in charge is simply
playing the part-oi the dog in
the manger - doing nothing
for himself and by staying there,
keeping away men who are
capable OF making the system a
success.
1t may develop, on investiga-
ton, that the reported Hewitt
offer would place the water
users and the community IN q
worse condition than now exists.
This is not so, on the face Of
things, but Mountain Home
people have learned by hard ex-
perience that a proposition, fair
on its face, may be rotten at the
core; they will not rush blindly
into any scheme that may be
proposed. They realize, by this
time, that. hard as are our pres.
ent conditions, and cherries
the prospect, it is better to hold
on and stand pat until a safe
solution is found, than 10 haz-
ard all by a leap in the dark.
1t il important that the water
problem should be settled, but
it is Of much more Importance
that it be settled right and once
