ALAsKA,s CoAL FIELDs.

Isn't it about time that something of
common sense was used in handling the
vast and valuable coal fields owned by
the government in Alaska? 1t would
seem so. The possibilities for the de-
velopment of that territory appear to
be enormous. Yet they are being him
dered and held back, because the
means of getting power to turn the
wheels of industry and progress are
shut off. People in Alaska are now
compelled to pay s14 and SIS ton for
coal that has to be shipped to them
from great distances. And in their
own door yards figuratively speaking.
is much better coal and an almost I'M
limited supply of it. But not a hunk
of it can be touched. The ardent con-
servationists have made this impossi-
BILE.
1t was only the other day at the
concluding session of the Transmissis-
sippi congress that resolutions were
passed urging the throwing open to in
dividuaI patentees the coal lands of
Alaska which were Withdrawn from
entry by a decree of President Roose-
ve1t in 1906. All the coal lands that he
did not withdraw have been withdrawn
since. More recently has the annual
report of Governor Clark of Alaska
been made public. In it he declares
that the ill-advised policy of forbid
ding all development of the large coal
resources of Alaska. or placing such
restrictions upon development as to
make the embarkation of private capt.
tai impossible. is to be deprecated.
while the policy of conservation by
proper use is to be encouraged This
coal" he continues, lis needed for the
Industries of the territory and for the
physical comfort of our people, and on
no account should it be withheld from
these uses"
And what a misguided public policy
it is which keeps the people of Alaska
from enjoying the advantages of the
coal which a generous nature has
placed at their doors. No one, in his
right senses, or who has due regard
for justice, believes that this coal
should be turned over to monopolists
for any consideration, or to others for
a mere song. But on the other hand
it Is only the conservation crank who
will insist that the development of
these coal fields be as we'll as absolute
ly prohibited as is now the case. Ger
tairly one of the first acts of the COM
ing session of congress should be the
passage of legislation which will per-
NIT of the development of these coal
fields and at once conserve the inter-
ests of the government and its people
in them. There has been altogether too
much monkey business already in the
handling of this big and important
question.

MAD STONES ARE FAKES.

Your dog or other live stock is just
as likely to develop a case of rabies
now, or even in the coolest winter, as
in July or August. Did you know
that? asks the current issue of the
Kansas Industrialist. and it con-
tinues: Most persons suppose that
mad dog" scares come only in the
summer That's wrong. Furthermore,
you shouldn't put any faith in mad
stones" A bulletin recently issued by
the experiment station of the Kansas
State Agricultural college contains
this information.
Many persons suppose that dogs are
more susceptible to rabies than any
other animals, but this is not So
Cats, hogs, horses, cattle and even
human beings are just as likely to de-
veIop the disease if once bitten by an
infected animal. But the dog is more
likely to spread rabies than any other
animal because of it's rowing nature
and because it's only means of de-
Tense is by using its teeth.
The symptoms of the disease usu-
ally develop in about two weeks, but
cases are known where they did not
develop for a year. If rabies is to be
cured it must be treated before the
symptoms have developed at all.
Rabies affect animals in two ways:
dumb or furious. In the dumb form,
the animal seeks secluded spots be-
comes unable to eat, and finally is
paralyzed all over. 1t usually dies in
week or ten days. This often turns
to the furious kind, which is much
more dangerous, for then the animal
becomes FESTIVE and roves about,
spreading the disease to all animals
with which it comes in contact. This
period lasts three or four days and is
followed by paralysis and finally death
In about ten days
The cause for rabies, or hydropho-
bia, is small, round or oval-shaped
bodies on the brain, from 1-25,O 900 to
$1,000 of an inch in diameter. These
are called Negri bodies. The only GER
tain way to determine the disease is
by microscopical examination of the
animals brain.

IN THE WORLD OF TRADE.

While there is something of depres-
sion in the business world as COM
pared with conditions during times in
the past when a great prosperity was
rampant-and this depression is far
greater in the eastern section of the
country than it is in the west-there
is no cause for alarm. On the other
hand there is plenty of reason for en-
couragement, particularly in view of
the fact that the prevailing high prices
of late have turned the consumers
from the extravagant pace they were
travelling into the way of economy and
the producers and distributors into
the channels of greater efficiency. This
is the opinion of the experts in the
business and financial world, including
Henry Clews, the New York banker
who discusses in his weekly financial
review the present business situation
and the prospects for the future as
follows:
'Reactionary tendencies are decided
ly more evident than six months ago,
and the year drawing to a close shows
a very different business temper. The
whole year has been a period of read
justment, some lines of business main
tanning continued activity as a result
of previous momentum, while others
showed a decided slackening Il not

No Gun for Him at Church.

the revolver into the table drawer.

he is ashamed to take into the church.
Possibly that man has a permit to
carry a revolver. Anyhow, he has no
computations against carrying one

science ba.lks at taking it into church.
No doubt more incidents of that kind

Danced with Gen. Lafeytte.

From hostess in the days of her

King Edward VII, to an inmate of the
Kent county poorhouse, in which she
celebrated her 1o5th birthday ami
versary yesterday, is a part of the life
history of Mrsf Clarissa Truesdell, one
of the bellies Of the days of Lafayette.
She is the oldest person in Grand
Rapids.
Mrs. Truesde1l at one time posses
sed a fortune, but it was lost during
the civil war, and as the years went
on with her husband dead, the once
beautiful and wealthy woman who
had danced with Gen. Lafayette, en-
tertained Henry Clay, Daniel Webster,
Jenny Lind, Louis Kossuth, and 9TH
ers of the great and near-great, was
forced to live on the bounty of her
niece, Mrs. Edwards White, of this
city. Her helplessness, however, as
old age came upon her, became so
great that Mrs. White was unable to
care for her. Mrs. Truesdell had an
unusual courtship. She met her hus-
band in Buffalo when in her teens, he
introduced himself and after a few
minutes conversation asked her to be-
come his wife. She accepted. He
hunted up a minister and they were
