ALASKAN COAL LANDS.

In the final disallowment of the fam
Gus Cunningham Alaskan coal land
claims the new secretary of the in
terror, Walter L. Fisher, clearly points
out the necessity of revision of the laws
governing Alaskan coal lands if that
territory is to be properly developed
and the government and others obtain
coal at a fair price. Former Secretary
Ballinger had also suggested that the
present laws governing the coal lands
IN Alaska were faulty. Secretary Fish
er says while he does not believe the
present coal land laws are wise or prac-
t1cable' he nevertheless proposes to en-
force them because they are the laws
and because they afford the only pro-
lection to the public welfare against
the abuses Of monopoly and unrestrict-
ed exploitation. He hopes to see these
laws modified so as to permit the de-
Velopment of the coal fields under pro-
visions that viii adequately protect and
promote the public interest.
Alaska has an unbounded supply Of
coal, but under existing laws and their
Interpretation it has been practically
impossible to touch any of this coal.
Most of the coal now used in Alaska

United States. 1t costs from 10 to 10
dollars a ton. A few miles away from
where this coal is landed is native coal
that could be mined for a couple of dol
lars and less a ton.
In commenting upon the decision of
Secretary Fisher Congressman E. H
Madison Of this state says:
1T is the duty of congress to at
once pass some common sense legisia-
ton under which the vast coal field of
Alaska can be worked and their treas
ure be made of service. It will not
be difficult to frame laws whereby The
public can receive a fair compensation
for these lands and their products be
used in the development OF Alaska and
in reducing the cost of fuel on the Pa
cihc coast. No genuine conservation
list has ever advocated keeping the coal
Of Alaska forever in cold storage.
"They have only contended that the
coal lands should not go to the Morgan
Guggenheim syndicate for a mere pit
lance in pursuance Of a conspiracy in
violation of the coal land laws"

THE WORKNfAN,s FOE.

Science with her wizard appliances
has done marvellous things for man
kind in the matter Of protection
against disease, writes J. Gordon
Ogden in the July Popular Mechanics
Magazine. She has searched out the
causes of the scOurges that formerly
played havoc with the human race.
Smallpox, diphtheria, cholera and ty-
phoid fever have been hunted down
and made to reveal their death-deaI-
ing secrets. We have learned to be
cautious as regards the character of
our drinking water. We know the
danger of the misunderstanding mos
quito. We appreciate the insidious
menace of the common housefy. We
understand the Importance of enforc-
ing pure food laws. Nevertheless,
there is one broad avenue along which
disease and death march arm in arm,
right into the very heart of the citade
of life: It is the highway that leads
from the Kingdom of Dust. The myr-
lads of dust notes are the real execu-
TONERS of mankind, especially in those
occupations where the formation of
dust is a necessary concomitant.
An average man breatnes about 81
Gu. #. of air per hour. Under the
very best conditions possible, the air
he breathes is never entirely free from
dust. Under ordinary conditions, the
average business man in his Compare
lively sanitary office breathes in thou
sands of dust particles every hour.
The workman, who earns his liveli-
hood in shop, factory or mine, has his
proportion of notes enormously in
creased, owing to the nature of his
work; unfortunately. also. the charac-
ter of these particles is too often
changed from the innocuous kind to
the dealing splinters due to GER
tain occupations.

During good hay seasons IN the past
the farmers who have patronized the
Kansas City wholesale mai kets with
their shipment have been given the
worst OF it in a great many cases, says
the Smith County Journal. An eastern
Kansas farmer last year concluded he
would make an investigation, after the
returns from shipments had shown
that his hay was damaged and had to
be sold at a reduction in order to dis
pose of it at all. With a view of bring
ing the hay dealer to time the farmer
shipped four carloads of hay to the
dealer and took the train for Kansas
City, arriving in advance of the ship
ment He went to the dealers office
and said he wanted to buy three or
four carloads of first class hay. The
dealer sold the farmer his own hay at
a fancy price and the farme-' returned
home. He soon received a letter from
the commission man. who regretted
that the "hay wasn't in good shape at

The Government's I,xampIe.

While Secretary Fisher of the inter-
Tor department was calling attention in
this city to the shocking annual fire
loss of the nation and beseeching every
body to do something to decrease this
burden, priceless documents of the
highest Importance were being kept in
Washington under conditions constitut-
ing nothing short of an invitation to
destruction. Immediately before Mr..
Fisher came to New York the country
had been entertained by an account OF
one of the periodical inspections of the
original Constitution and the Declara-
ton Of Independence. in which the TAX
ing gf those papers from a nonhreproof
safe in the department of state was
described, and the interesting informa-
ton was added that in f1iInsy file cases
near this improvident receptacle other
invaluable manuscripts were exposed
every day to injury or loss
Secretary Fisher is in no way re-
sponsible for the carelessness that IS
shown in any department at Washing
ton except his own. The fact that the
national records are not kept as they
should be is not a reflection on him,
nor does 1t impair the force of his ar
gument for better protection generally
The spectacle of one government EN-
ployee urging reform in a matter IN
which another is and for years has
perfectly the lack of consistency that
characterizes the treatment or the
whole subject. Last winter two state
capitols were injured by fire, with in
calcu1able loss to the community; the
danger is recognized, admitted, and de-
p1ored everywhere. Government agents
of all degrees of Importance utter sol
ernn warnings; and all the time nothing
is done to provide effectual safeguards
where they are most needed and might
be most easily installed.
In this the government should teach
not onlv by exhOrtatiOn, but by exam
pie. A fireproof vault in the state de-
partment would be worth a great many
speeches by members Of the cabinet in
New York.-NeW York Sun.

THE VALUE oF GRosREAKs.

The grosbeak is a very much ma
ligned bird and instead of being de-
structive to crops he is, on the con-
trary, of great benefit according to a
bulletin just issued by Secretary Will
son of the federal department of ag-
riculture. The bulletin states that
seven kinds of hnches. commonly
known as the grosbeak summer with
in our boundaries. A majority of these
are good friends of the farmer and de-
serve to be widely known in order
that their services may be appreciated.
The grosbeaks are easily distin-
guished from other finches by their
stout form, bright plumage, massive
bills, and melodious voices. Two of
them live mainly in cold, mountain
Gus areas and have little to do with
farms or with the insects that prey
upon crops. and these may be dis
missed without further notice. The
other five live largely in agricultural
regions and secure most of their food
about cultivated lands. They perform
invaluable service in destroying GER
tain of our worst insect pests.
The rose breasted species is a great
destroyer of the potato bug. He breeds
over Kansas and the mountains of
Tennessee The Investigations of the
department show that the bird is fond
of green peas, but invariably con-
sumes enough injurious insects to
more than offset the damage. He has
become famous for his preying on the
Colorado potato beetle and no less than
one-tenth of the total food it consumes

for the protection of the grosbeak. and
says: Present Investigations prove
