PROVIDING AGAINST A COAL
FAMINE.

The question of the conservation of
Americas natural resources is not a
new subject. The drain upon the re-
sources and the necessity of their
economical utilization were recognized
by many who made a study Of them
long before their probable exhaustion
had been reduced to terms of decades
and years. It needed, however, the en-
ergetic action of just such an over
shadowing personality as that of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to bring the whole
question into the national prominence
which 1t has lately attained. In re-
cent statement of the United States
geological survey estimates the total
exhaustion of easily mined coal, at the
present rate of increase in production
and consumption, as likely to occur In
the century following the present one,
providing new large coal fields are not
in the meantime discovered. At the
same time the survey is doing it's best
to make just such discoveries as will
upset these figures. Outside of the in
vestigations of the coal deposits Of the
United States the survey has for some
years been making a study Of the coal
supply Of the world and over six years
coal in Alaska. The result OF the lat
ter investigation has been an excel
lent showing of coal in that territory,
a score or more Of large coal fields be-
ing shown on the coal map much pub
lished in Survey Bulletin 1886. The COM
bined area of these fields is very great,
although small in comparison with the
immense area of the territory. Fur
thermore, it is not possible, even with
the large amount of work accomplish
ed that all of the coal areas of Alaska
should be known by this time. Addi-
tional exploration and investigation
may be rich in results.-Wichita Eagle.

Massachusetts Lady Makes a Change and
gets Nearer the Mountains

The following dispatch. from
Hickory, N. c., to the Charlotte
Observer will be of some local in
terest. The lady in question,
however, will hardly find a more
salubrious climate than that of
Salisbury:
"Mr. and Mrs. William Tryon,
originally from Fitchburg, Mass ,.
but lately of Salisbury, have To-
Gated in Hickory and will make
this city their home, provided the
climate proves agreeable to Mrs.
Tryon.
"It is a fact to be deeply re-
GREETED that much comment has
been made in different papers up
on the mode of travel resorted to
BY Mrs. Tryon to protect her from
cold and drafts. The i'll effect
that she has experienced from OK
posure at different times has made
it necessary that she have on
structed a case Of wood and glass
to use in railway travel where
drawing-room service is not main
tanned, having in mind not only
her own health but the comfort of
her fellow passengers. Mrs. Tryon
arrived in Hickory in this case
but upon reaching the house she
and her husband are to occupy at
present, she had the case put aside
and has since been wheeled around
the house in an inval1d's char.
The Observers correspondent
called upon Mr.. and Mrs. Tryon,
who are interesting and intelli-
gent people, and was cordially re-
ceived. They are modest and re-
greet very much the notoriety
which has been caused by Mrs.
Tryon's being compelled to travel
with so much caution. They in
formed the correspondent that
they are so we'll pleased with Hick-
DRY and the delightful climate
which they feel sure will benefit
Mrs. Tryon. If they like Hickory
and the climate conditions are
agreeable, they expe ct to make t
