GAGE IS ANNOYED.
BY the Criticism of His Dead Wards
Character.

San Diego, Cal, June 25.-When told
of the dispatches from Baltimore in
reference to the Woodill affair, ex-Sec-
rotary of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage
said to an Associated Press reporter
today:
MY relations with my ward, Mrs.
Woodill, were perfect honorable. as Is
we'll known by those who know us. She
was a sweet and lovable girl and when
1 first met her I became deeply at
tached to her. She has been foully
criticized and I think it is a disgrace
that the poor girls body should be
made the basis for an attempted scan
dial. Further than that 1 positively
have nothing to say
us it true you first met her through
President Mckinley in Washington
when she was about IL years old?' he
was asked.
Yes
"Who were her parents?"
81 have NOTHING more to say" de-
clared Mr.. Gage and hung up the tele-
phone receiver.

Washington, July 7-(Special)- The geological survey has become in- tcrested in the possibilities of Alaska peat as fuel for the camps and cit les of the territory. It is conducting investigations along this line and the following notice of the work is given in the survey bulletin of this week:
 "The high price of coal and other fuels in Alaska, due to the fact that they have to be taken from distance to the more remote regions away from water transportation routes, makes 1t advisable to consider the possibility of utilizing peat, great areas of which are common in the territory. More than 10 Or0 tens of this fuel are prepared and used annually in the countries of Northern Europe. whilr in the United States and Alaska met i,OOC tons were used in l?hS

ALASKA MAY USE PEAT FUR FUEL

gives off more heat than the best wood, but not so much as bituminous coal of good quality. The chief diff flculty in using 1t for fuel Is that 1t is always saturated with water as it Is found in the beds and has to be dried before 1t can be burned. The drying can be done cheaply by expos Lre to the wind and sun. Machines for drying and shaping 1t into bricks are in common use in Europe, and peat thus prepared makes more de sirable fuel than cut peat, though 1t Is somewhat more expensive.
 Tn the expectation that the great sores of fuel in the peat beds of Alas ka may be used to some extent, c. A.
