railroads are not anxious to sell at the
government prices, and that our prices
are as rule below those asked for pr-
vate coal lands in the same districts.
Can YOU give me an example Of the
old method of selling in contrast to the
present plan.
Suppose we take one Of the
Wyoming coal fields said the d.
rector. Here is township which at the
old rate Of from ten to twenty dollars per
acre was valued at 100000. 1t is now
priced al l cent ton according to its
coal contents, and the value Is just So
100000. difference of S. 1000 for that
township alone. In another township in
Wyoming the present valuation of the
coal lands is a little more than 5000. 900,
whereas it was less than $jOO,OOO before,
and single square mile of that township
had been valued at $216.O00.'
But how can your surveyors know Just
what coal there is in the land? Do they
use diamond drills and bore down through
every acre?'
mo- replied the director. "They can
tell from the outcrOppings of the coal on
the mountains and hills, and the veins
exposed in the canyons and valleys If
there is a bed of coal twenty feet thick in
one canyon and we find a bed of the same
thickness and same quality of coal some
distance away with the other geological
conditions that would show that the
two We're a part of one and the same
bed. We should conclude that all the land
between the two contained coal. Our es-
Inmates are carefully made, and as a rule
they are below rather than above the
real amounts"
How deep do you fix the possibility of
mining?"

And now with his friend the court

was put on trial. He said il was all
joke, and that he intended to send the
jewels to the kaiserin. Seven experts
swore that he was mentally abnormal,
and his mother swore that he'd spent his
youth in Texas. The judges disbelieved
the specialists, but when they heard he'd
spent his youth In Texas they said that
he deserved Indulgence
He was sentenced to a month i'm fail,

$50 II it were one cent a ton 1t would
be 500 per acre. and if the bed were
thicker or thinner it would be more or
and for the difficulty of mining"
But can the government lands be sold
at these high prices?'
I'VE are selling them. During a single
month at the Salt Lake City office we
have received 100000 for such lands.
and additional claims were filed that
month by would-be purchasers aggregat-
ing $2OO,OOO more. The selling prices are
fixed SO that they will be attractive to
the purchaser and at the same time will
prevent the lands being bought and held.
in order that the buyer may make great
profit out of the unearned increment
thereon. The idea is to conserve the coal
for the government and the people. The
land office also issues patents for farm
lands as homesteads. reserving the coal
which lies beneath them.
What sort of coal lands are the best
inveStmentS?'
AT present the high-grade and more
expensive lands are the. better buys, al
though more of the low-priced lands are
being sold. You see we have a consid-
cradle competition from the railways
that have received large grants of public
lands as subsidies, and some Of which own
vast quantities of coal. The Union Pa
cIflc road has extensive tracts of valu
able coal lands. I would say that the

down to telephones and street cars) the
diet has henceforth only consultative
powers In practice that means that the
diet must cease to exist for Ii refuses
absolutely TO accept the unconstitutional
law" and firmly stands for its rights
against the despotic Stolypin. Stolypin
retorts in his newspaper Rossiya with
threats that the diet. which has been
thrice dissolved in vain. will now be
abolished altogether. And that means
that not only will Finland cease to have
q parliament, but it will cease to be
model of progress and order to all Eu-
rope. And. incidentally, it will cease to
have fourteen woman members among its
total of 200. whose industry, talents and
practical capacity are a standing justifi-
cation of the claims Of feminists all over
the world.
The success of these fourteen woman
members OF the diet is evidence of the
extraordinarily advanced position of
women's emancipation in remote, obscure
Finland. Any country, however back

to sit in parliament, but only a really

these grounds, and not the sex issue
upon which men and women vote in the
diet today.
The Finnish woman members Of the
diet do not form a woman's party, nor do
they all belong to any particular party.
Every party-Swedish, old Finnish. young
Finnish and socialist-has at least one
woman member. The socialists have
nine the Swedes two and the other two
parties each have one. The preponderance
of socialists is not due to any particular
female love Of socialism. but to the fact
that the socialist party Is by far the
largest In the diet. The socialist woman
members were elected by both man and
woman voters. One of the most impOr-
tant Of them Is Mrs. Hilja Parssnen,

Miss Hultin had been a strong wom-

ill-treatment. Her colleague, Miss Vera
Hjelt. is even more notable. because she
has shown that Finnish women are quite
as efficient in industry as they are in
sociology. Miss Hjelt has sat in the
diet since 1908. She belongs to the
Swedish party, sits on many legislative
committees and Is one of the most promi-
nent stateswomen in Finland.
Like most other Finnish women poll
ticians, Miss Hjelt was trained as an
elementary school teacher She after
in Sweden, and when she returned
opened a Sloyd school at He1singfors
Her plunge into industry was the start
ing of sawmill and joiner's workshop,
and this enterprise flourished so brilliant
ly that 1t was soon dignified into public
company, with the foundress as technical
adviser. Miss Hjelt is an indefatfgable
publicist. She takes great interest in
women's welfare, and has written numer-
Gus works on various phases Of the sub
ject. AS q lecturer she has high repu-
tation. Political economy and labor
questions are her chief specialties. She
holds the position of factory inspector Of
women's work; finds time to direct many
philanthropic enterprises, and is a great
favorite with every one who knows her.
One of the woman members of the
diet is an aristocrat. This is the Bar
oness Ida Yrjo-Koskinen, who was born
in 1857, directed a girls school in Ia
vasthus before her marriage, and for
the last ten years has been a teacher
