PROPOSES SURVEY OF
STATE COAL LANDS

Olympia, April 19.-In order that
the state may find out just how much
coal there is in he state, its kind, quail
ity and value, for taxation purposes.
Tax Commissioner Frost has suggested
to Gov. Hay that at least a portion. if
not half of the money appropriated by
the last legislature for a geological
survey of the state be used in deter
mining the size of the coal areas.
At the present time there are thou
sands of acres of coal lands escaping
taxation, because the counties have no
way of finding out the value of the
coal fields, and it is claimed that not
only will the taxes ON those properties
be increased, but new coal beds will
probably be added to the tax rolls

"The true situation was, that we
wanted to get into Portland and made
all necessary purchases to put up al

ssTo the American People: y,
America, how vast is your opportunity
for making a lasting mark for good OF

m~easureless material resources, ENJOY
ING the unbounded confidence OF your
own people, favored with the concen-
trated light of earth and heaven, pos
sessed of an influence covering i < a
shadow all the world beside; what a
mower you must be destined to become.
"What will you do with this mighty,
magic force? If you are permitted TO
realize your ambition to lead the
world, whittier will you lead it? To
utter abandonment of faith in the Eter-
nal and the neglect of every duty now,
ing out of it, to senseless worship OF
Mammon, to useless frivolities? NO,
I am sure you won't, and l blush at
the very mention of such things and
denounce them with all my soul.
"Where else can you lead this poor,
blind. stumbling world of ours but to
the mighty, just holy God and obedi-
ence to his commands; the practice OF
Righteousness, purity, honor, kindness
and simplicity to self-sacrifcing serv-
ice of mankind?
America, I invite you to the actual
realization of the Christian principles
you profess and to practical imitation
of Jesus Christ, who came out Of his
heaven to seek and to I've
Come along then, let us grid up our
loins and go out of heaven and put
our arms around perishing multitudes
and bring them to Christ, purity, peace
in Paradise.
II invite you to make our common
Christianity an ungainsayable reality
and thus wipe out the reproach fast
gathering over us that it is nothing
more than an exploded tradition. a
fashionable association or alifeless GER
