FIVE. HUNDRED MILLION
TONS OUTPUT NAMED
Reference to Attempt to Extend
Holdings in Bonanza Group of
Copper Mines Excites Much
Interest at Capital.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-the
senate committee on territories today
furnished an attraction in the way Of
developments relative to Alaska coal
lands which fairly entities it to rival
interest in the Ballinger- Pinchot In
lestgation.
Manager Birch, of the Guggenheim-
Nargan Alaska syndicate, reeled OF
igures concerning the available coaI
If Cunningham and the Alaska coal
md copper mines, that were quite cal
'ulated to cause the heads OF mem
beIs of the committee to swim. Plac-
ng the tonnage of the Cunningham
mines at fifty millions, he SAID, coal
could probably be taken cut with n
net profit of $25,000,00O. This state
ment was made in view of the fact
that the syndicate had agreed to pay
lnly $2,500.000 for half of the prop
erty.
Birch placed the probable output Of
The entire Behring river coal district
II which the Cunningham group
forms part at five hundred million
IONS with a net value OF 5000, 000,000
ana the gross value at $500. 000.S04.
Attempt to -lxtcnd Holdings.
But there was another question
which attracted even more attention..
II had reference to his attempt To ex-
tend holdings of The Alaska Coal aai
copper company in the Bonanza
group of copper mines befort 1t was
required by the Guggenheim- Morgan
1yndicate. Birch said some of the
land now embraced by that group
could be located by himself through

names of other stockholders of the

holders. He emphatlcally stated they

rety, | located a claim myself" he said.
there was no understanding that
rhe claims were to be turned over to
the company, that he was there as
manager and went ahead and made
the locations to protect the company.
He received nothing for this trouble
but his regular salary The land

accident on Wednesday, Mr.. Burge
took as cough medicine a liniment
made up of dconite. belladonna and

in its ingredients to Kill 20 men
Despite that fact ana the fact that
Mr.. Burge Is 81 years old. he will re-
cover and this Is due to d.. S. ID.
Cameron and the telephone.
As soon as the accident was dis
covered telephone communication was
had with DR.. Cameron and the trouble
and the conditions described to the
phys clan here who at once prescTib-
ed the proper emetic. And from that
on the work went forward by phone
while Or. Cameron. despite roads that
would not suit an automobile scorcher

thing over IL miles, in an hour. once

THE growers who now go to great
expense to get up their exhibits and
who after the competition ship them
to the east might just as readily ship
them east before the contest and self
them afterwards. They would sp-
peal to a better consuming center,
there would be keener competition
for their carloads and as a matter of
fact the sight of 13 or 10 carloads of
exhibition fruit in such a city as Chi
cago would take the people there by
storm and they would inquire all
about the sections in which such
fruit was produced. The advantages,
in my mind. are altogether in favor
of such city as Chicago and W.
should adopt that idea as a further
means of advertising ourselves ami

KENNEWICk FARMERS

Yield $500 an Acre Third Year Aftc;'
Plantin9-AIay Soon Rival
California.

KENNEWICK. Wash. Feb. 16.-
That the Columbia river valley will
some day rival California as a pro-
ducer of asparagus crops is the be-
lief of William Lewtas. expert planter
and horticulturist. Mr.. Lewtas has
had several years experience in as
paragus beds of California and is con-
fident that these great wealth-pro-
ducers will be eQualed by the low
lands of the irrigated Columbia river
basin.
He has Just taken the contract for
planting 100000 plants for small
farmers in the valley. marking the
passing of the experimental stage of
asparagus culture in this section. The
cro OPP in former years has been grown
only as a side line, but many of the
farmers are preparing to set their en-
tire tracts to asparagus plants this
spring. Experiments have shown
that an acre of aspa ~agus will yield
5000 the third year after planting.
Mr.. Lewtas also has the contract
for planting 10000 apple and peach
trees on the highlands.

G. WASHINGTON, name you may recall,
Whose owner was the father of us all,
Had such wealth of titles unto fame
| have not time to catalogue the same
But, looked at from this distance, it would seem
The chief of all his claim to our esteem
Lies in the marked and gratifying way
He differed from some statesmen of today.
AS an example, history records
That he refused all offers of rewards
For his long years of toll and sacrifice,
But gave them without money, without price.
In these our times the process is reversed
Where he placed service of his country first
And took no wage, our patriots today
Omit the service and accept the pay.
The difference appears i'll other things: /.
He freed the country from the rule of kings,
While we have those, or so | have been told,
Who foster trust kings worse than those of old.
He drove the mercenarieS from our shores,
We have foe more fierce and ravenouS-
The army of the grafters feed on u.s.
Great Washington, who lacked the gift of speech,
In deeds, not words, his lessons sought to teach,
But we, with floods of talk that know no bound,
Drown our performance in sea of sound.
His wisdom lay in knowing his defect
Which grows a virtue seen in retrospect
Our statesmen, who can speak no more than he,
Are not restrained by his humility.
He spurned a crown. We make of wealth king
And crown not man, but an nsensate thing.
He sought retirement when his work was through,
But certain statesmen of the modern crew,
Who heard their own and not their counry's call,
Have not the mercy to retire at all
He farmed his farm like Cncinnatus old;
They farm the people and the crop is gold.
They call him first in peace and first in war
And first in the esteem his country bore.
We have some statesmen first, understand,
In making peace with those who rob the land,
First in the gains of buying supplies,
First in the hearts of those who victimze
Their countrymen and first to speculate
On inside news that they themselves create
We need such contrasts to appreciate
How purely, lofty and nobly great
Was this unselfish statesman, Washington
He grows in stature by comparison.
When measured by the standards we maintain.
He seems being of another plane.
He served mankind, and SO it is say,
The nation needs some Washington today.
