wanhlnnfon, Aug. s.--tspeciai)-- The question of the conservation or Annerica's natural resources Is not new rub1ect The drain upon the re- aourcea and the necessity for their economical utilization were recognized by many who made study or them long before their probable exnausuon had been reduced to terms or oecaoss and years.
 It needed however the energetic ac- ton of just such an overshadowing nsrsonality as that of President Hoose- walt to bring the whole queston m to the national prominence which IL has lately attained. In a. recent statement the United States Geoiogt- cal Survey estimates the total ex- haustion Of easily mined coal, at the present rate of increase in production end 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 Investigations of the coal deposits of the United States the Survey has for some years been making study of the coal supply of the world and over six years ago began definite examination of coal in Alaska. The result of the later investigation has been an excellent showing of coal in that territory, a score or more of large coal fields being shown on the coal map just published in Survey Bulletin sss.
 The combined area of these fields Is very great. although small in compar- ison with the immense area of the ter ritory. Furthermore, 1t is not possible, even with the large amount of work accomplished that all of the coal fAls time. Additional exploration and fnvestigatIon may be rich in results
 Fully one fourth of Alaska, or ap- proximately 160. 900 square miles is It, tie more than an unopened book to us. so far as its precious and useful minerals are concerned" said Alfred Fl Brooks, the chief geologist of the Alaskan Division of the United States Geological Survey, just before leaving Washington for his annual swing round the circle" in the big north western territory. We know that there Is coal in this little explored fleids which will form an important part of the ultimate coal reserve of Alaska. The Cape Lisburne coal field represents the western end of what is probably a large coal area not yet determined It is not impossible that the area of Ignite and low-grade kfkuninous coal may be double the present known coal area in the ter- fitory. which is over 12,o00 square miles The coal of Alaska ranges In quality from Ignite to coal that com pares favorably with the famous Poca- hontas coal of West Virginia.

Friends of IF. T.

FULTON IS PARD0NED
CONVICTED OF PADDING COUNTY
 PAY ROLLS.
The Action of the Pardon Board Be- came Known in Pensacola sun-
 day and It Caused Con-
 af<zNrnhle Comment.

Pensacola. Fla, Aug. s.--(Speeial )-- The fact that Cary l.. Fulton. eonvict- ed only year ago of padding coun- ty pay rolls. while In the service of the County and in charge of painting the county court house, had been par doned by the State Board of Pardons, became known here thIs morning and caused considerable comment. probably due to the fact that James N. An- drews, former Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and who was convicted on the same charge. and B. H. Burton, convicted of forging county warrants had been pardoned only few days prior.
 Burton as deputy Circuit Clerk, was convicted of forging warrants and rais- ing them to larger sums than which they were originally drawn, securing more than s5,000, 1t is claimed, by this procedure. He got q long sentence, and had served more than half of It. but with Andrews and Fulton they had served a little more than & year when residents of the city and County were made aware of the fact that the Board of Pardons had given them a pardon. These are the first instances where pardons have been granted so promis- GuOucty TUT tuOS9 b1A% UV ANOAi luiS section of the State, and has occa- sloned unusual comment and in some sections censure for those composing the pardoning board.
 Prepared fer Death.
 An instance of preparing all details for the funeral and burial and peace fully lying down and waiting for death to arrive and relieve the suffering. came to light today when the remains of Mrs. John Landsberg, a most esti- mable lady, were placed at rest in St. Michaels cemetery.
 The deceased had been the sole sup port for an invalid husband until he died. and of an adopted child. Four days ago she was taken III. and to friends who called to see her she re- lated that she would never arise from bed, but would die. Acting upon this belief she sent for the sexton of the cemetery and purchased a lot, desle- hating to him the exact spot In which she wished to be buried. Then she sent for an undertaken and selected her casket, and after this was com pleted she proceeded to make her own shroud. notwith standing the fact that she was in bed. This was completed and calling the members of the Wood mems Circle. an auxiliary to the Wood men of the World. to her bedside she gave minute directions as to the man ner In which her funeral should be conducted. Twenty-four hours after wards she died.

IS NbSM 10 BE J0RREl OyT OF ITS VERY EYES7

In brief message today the wire brings us revela' ton of another job being put up the people of Alaska The Seattle Times democratic paper for reasons that may be we'll understood has been giving energetic support the Hoggatt nominee of the republican convention at Ketchikan.
 The Times itappears, published what purported to be an authorized annocement from Thomas Gale Chat he had withdrawn from the race for the degatehp that because of the sickness of his wife he could not to the district and would not on any account be candidate. It was made as positive the language could make it. appears that the United Press accepted this printed statement being genuine and sent the word the whole district and thus brought about the condition of temporary dso ganzaon that was desired to be secured by the pubca tion Now comes a special from Mir. A. .E Light Mr. Gales private secretary in which he declares that the story printed in the Times was without foundation and PAL FABLE FALSEHOOD.
 This then is the extremity to which have come. If it was a fasehood the Times knew it to be such It gave it out as an authorized satement-and it not author
 ed The whole district of Alaska has been trcked by interested Seattle newspaper The wire tells of the effect of that PALPABLE PRIESTHOOD on the people of Fairbanks But what will be the effect of today despatches telling them of how they have been tricked into abandoning temporarily their allegiance to the man of their choice The ALASKAN will miss it's guess if this is not the signal for rally to the banner of Thomas Gale such as he would not otherwise have
 up to the people of Alaska to signify to the peo- pie of Seattle that they capable of segoverment and that they will tolerate such interference in their affairs that at least they must not be jobbed in their politics.

As the solialist candidate for presidens in 1904 he pollcd 100000 votes ard expects to poll I 100000 this year. Most of his votes will be cast at the expense of the democratic ticket if Mr. Bryan Is nom- mated.

cure the return of good times?
 "These considerations do not apply to the strict par,isaus. The majority Of democrats will undoubtedly vote for Mir. Bryan, as they did before, just as practically all republicans will vote for Mir. Taft. Four-Gt,hs of the votes are not cast for tue man, but for the party but the arguments Of the campaign will be addressed to the independent voters, who hold the balance of power.
 "Eighs years ago and twelve years ago Mir. Bryan ran on three totally dis tlncs tickets. He had three totally dis tiuct party organizations behind him. He was the candidate Of e great com bine. This accounted for bis large popular vote in 1896, although he act ually poIled fewer votes than did the democrats aud popuIis,s in 1892.
 To-day the silver republicans who helped give Mir. Bryan nine western states in 1896 have nearly all returned to their old party allegiance, The very silver men who contributed s2SS. GOO to Mir. Bryan's campaign fund in 1896 are now largely against him. Todry in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota ana Cali iornia there is not single democratic newspaper of reputation and general influence. Today the populist party, which-polled over 100000 votes in 1892, when Mr. Bryan voted for Gen, Weaver, and which was the very back bone of his strength iu the west four years later, has nominated ticket Of it's own, headed by Thomas E. Watson, very able, very keen, very bold, Mir. Watson was the populist candidate for vice-president on the ticket with Mir. Bryan in 1896. He and his party brought Mir. Bryan 2 electoral votes which could not have been obtained in any other way. Mr. Watson is now az gressiyely opposed to Mr. Bryan.
