WAllOWA HAS FINE HAY.
Autumn Crop Will Be Close to 49,
600 Tons, All Good Grade.

Wallowa-More than $1,000 tons of
hay will be shipped from this valley
this fall. The crop has been an excel
lent one, and the quality of the product
is of the best. Outside buyers have
contracted nearly all the crop that will
be shipped, and local stockmen have
bought up practically all that remains
for sale. One Portland firm has bought
10, 900 tons.
The hay is mostly alfalfa, timothy
and clover. There is some wild hay
and small amount of grain hay.
Other crops are in proportion to the
hay crop, and this year will be one OF
the most prosperous ever known IN
Wallowa county, owing to the compile.
tion of the railroad and the ready ship
ping facilities thus afforded.

After Coal Lands

Alaska coal men who have taken up land in the Matanuska and Bering lake coal fields will make an appeal to this session of congress to secure modit1. cation Uf the present laws which wilt permit united effort in opening the coal districts. A meeting of num- Der of the men interested in the coal fields of Bering lake and Matanuska was held few days ago in the office of Falcon JOslin. Mir. JoSlin was named at the recent American mining con- gress to head committee to meet the coal men of Alaska and frame bill to be presented to congress at this seS- sion.
 At the meeting held ill Mir. Joslin's office it was decided to ask congress not only to grant to the bona f1de ap- plirants title to their individual claims, but also to permit them to associate their claims to the extent of 5,l20 acres. The law which now prevents applicants from securing title was claimed by the coal men present 10 be holding the country back, a. was also the right to com bine their interests to a certain extent.
 Mr.. JOslin says thai the desires ot the coal men harmouize with the or ders of the department of the interior and the presidents for th" conServa- tiou of the lauds, but they ask for such rights as will permit the coal lands to Ue opened for marketing the product
 The order of the president closing all coal lands from entry in Alaska was made owing to reports reaching him that corporations were gobbling them up ia great tracts. Men who had made applications at the time of this order were prevented, even though they had been locators before it went into eff feet, from securing patent to their lands.
 The proposed bill, as explained by w. H. Bogie, who represents the Gug- genheim interests, is to enable the coal men to secure patents in order that railroads can build to the felds- The Guggeuheims are said to have but 63 locations in the Boring lake fields Most of the men who attended the meeting were attorneys representing the different interests in the coal lands. The bill will be prepared in few days and will be presented in Washington by men who are anxious to develop the Northern coal fields.-Seattle P.-L.
