The Call Of the Air.

When the woodlands are folded In opaline
mist
And the clouds are OF mother-of-pearl
Then / long - go up In my swift aero
plane
With propeller blades madly awhirl.
I yearn to ascend to the azure above,
Like bird. sweeping hither and yon.
Rising up with delight to a star people
height,
Coasting down on a beam Of the sun.
Oh. what joy to look down on the tower
and the town,
The field and the river below,
The first glinting gold Of the morn to be-
hold
Or the last Of the evenings red glow;
TO float like boat to the planets remote.
BY moonlight alone In the sky.
With the wind out Of space blowing cool
In my f9ca-
Bat the bla:., .! Old machine will not fly!

Horse RACING Killed In japan.

Carst, a business man Of Yokohama,
who arrived In San Francisco recently
He said:
after the war racing became very
popular In Japan and In other oriental
countries. In Japan the game was
played on a grand scale. At some Of
the sport meetings $1OO0.OOO would
pass through the hands Of the book
makers. Then came the crusade, fol-

COAL FIELDS OF ALASKA.
Surveys Indicate Fuels Richie,
Than Gold Deposits.

From the Review of Reviews.
While Alaska's gold reserves are large
they are In no way unique, for refined
gold is the same. whatever the source.
In the matter OF coal resources Alaska
has no competitor. It's store of high
grade fuel cannot be equaled In quality
west Of the Rockies-in fact. to find an
thracite and bituminous coal which COM
pares i'm fuel value with that of Alaska
one must continue east to Pennsylvania
A surveyed area of about one hundred
square miles is known to be underlain by
these Goals. and II Is probable that fur
ther Investigation may show an extension
Of the field. 4 rough estimate Of guam
tity within this surveyed area gave some
six billion tons, or more than one and a
half times the entire production OF Penn
sylvania since coal mining began 1t IS
fair to assume that this coal is worth d
dollar a ton. which would make it's total
value about forty times as great as the
entire gold output of Alaska to the pres.
ant time, 1t is probable, therefore. that
tho value of the coal fields exceeds that
OF the gold reserves. These Goals are.
however. practically untouched, for the
only coal mining III Alaska is that of
some lignites for local use
These valuable Goals occur in two dis
tricts-the one called the Bering river
field lies about thirty miles east of Cop
per river and twenty miles from the
coast at Controller bay: the other. the
Matanuska field. IS fifty miles northeast
OF Cook inlet There are also some BIZ
luminous Goals. though of less fuel value,
I'm the Alaska peninsula, on the Yukon
and on the Arctic slope. Ignite Goals
and peat are abundant and widely distrib-
uted and some Of these possess great
value for local consumption
