tailed all the facts Of the case to Mr.. Sui

NATIONAL COAL RESERVE IN
ALASKA PROPOSED IN BILL
Delegate Wickersham Suggests Set
ting Aside $4,000 Acres and Es-
tablishment of a Board.

The great coal fields of Alaska, just
now SO much under discussion in Wash
ington and throughout the country, are
the subject Of long bill introduced In
the House by Delegate Wickersham of
Alaska, providing that 1900 acres of the
best coal-bearing lands of Alaska be set
aside by the United States in perpetuity
as the national coal reserve Provision
is made for the withdrawal Of $500 acres
each from the katalla and Matanasuka
districts and 5000 more from the Kenar
and Alaska peninsular areas.
board of national coal reserve is TO
be established. consisting of one naval
officer. one member of the geological sur
vey and one other member having practi-
cal knowledge OF coal mining and trans
portation. This board is to survey and
select the best coal lands.
The Secretary of the Interior is directed
to furnish to the Attorney General all
information regarding private coal claims
in Alaska, and the latter official is d.
rected to investigate each claim and COM
pei return of the property to the
United States in every case where there
is any irregularity. and such returned
claims are also to become q part of the
national reserve.
One hundred thousand dollars is appro-
priated for the use of the board of ma

does possess advantages for certain
class of consumptives, and that num-
Der who have gone there have recovered.
but to think that all who go, except
those in the last stages of the disease,
will recover is childish. DIR. Lloyd cites
several pathetic cases OF persons seeking
health who died. Consumptives should
remember. DR.. Lloyd says. That climate
is not everything.
The difficulty of securing desirable liv-
ing accommodations in Quito, the fact
that the houses are not heated, and are
cold and that the altitude 0,6Oa feet Is
not suited to all cases, the existence of
insanitary conditions In the city and a
number of other inconveniences some
what offset, DIR. Lloyd says. the natural
advantages.
In conclusion, DIR. Lloyd declares that
there are places in the United States
better suited for consumptives than Quito,
places where the cost OF living Is less
and conditions better.

President Taft pleaded guilty to a sense

Apology for Costume.

Il have to apologize for appearing be-
fore you in a garb that have found con-
venient to wear when walking through
the purlieus of Washington he said.
There are, I suppose, some limitations
upon presidential pedestrianism, but 1
have not found them as yet, except in
tired muscles.
ut is a very great pleasure to me to
walk along the street look into the WIN
dows and pass by great many people
who don't know who l am, and at times
to meet fellow who looks once at me
and then passes on without any further
curiosity. and another fellow who looks
twice, nudges his friend. and then. with
that degree of reverence that we all feel
for high office, says: Hello, Taft
But there is in the White House a
sense of isolation. due to the fact that
generally nobody drops in. Everybody
who comes comes by engagement, and
YOU don't have that pleasant surprise
that comes from having neighbors look
In on you at odd times and with a feel
ing that they have right to come.
III don't know that that feature of the
White House life can be changed-per-
haps it ought not to be: perhaps II we
change the system we would only long to
return to the system of engagements, for
the engagements are many. time passes
rapidly and business is active
Glad He Came.
In conclusion the President thanked the
club for the courtesy of its invitation to
pay it a visit and expressed his pleasure
in meeting its members.
Il hope I will remember every one Of
YOU" he said II want to- but am sure
that / won't The only way one remem-
bers Is by constant association, and I am
sorry to say that. as l look about heVe,

bly, | am likely to see.
However,, ] shall be glad to see any
one of you who honors me by coming up
to the Office and who can get by Car
penter and Stone. We have inaugurated
a new system there now, that every
body gets mat least, l think everybody
gets in, Judging by the fact that do not
get to my lunch until after o'clock.
I'm any event, when YOU do honor me l
shall be delighted to see you
After remaining to chat with individual
members few minutes, the President,
accompanied by Capt Butt and Mr.. Car
penter. took his departure amid a shower
of applause and invitations to come
again.
Heavy lines were drawn on the clubs
register under the place where he and his
companions had inscribed their names,
that the historic event of their visit may
stand out in due prominence.

There Is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
