Last year the betting in Flint
was 6 to 1 against the Socialists.
This year most of the sports are
offering only even money, only one
man so far as known is offering
two to one.

ed the Socialists challenge to de-
bate on the question--Resolved:
That Socialism is the hope of the

Chicago will uphold the Socialist
side of the question and it is expec-

warm one and well worth hearing.
The debate will take place at

Two Flint women have lately
been buncoed out Of fair sized
sums of money by plausible stran-
gers. 1t is strange how some peo-
pie will consent to give or loan
money to total strangers, who are
possessed of glib tongue and some
wild scheme, without any invesli-
CATION; while in many cases these
same people would turn legitim-
ate proposition, made by somebody
they knew, down cold. The old
saying there's sucker born every

The Citizens committee has Sc
cured Goldstein, the former Social
list who is now touring the country
lecturing against Socialism, for az
lecture at Stones Opera House on
March Goth.
The Socialists have challenged
Mr.. Goldstein to meet Socialist IN
debate and much interest Is being
expressed about the question o.
whether he will accept the chal
lenge or not If he accepts it is
certain to be an interesting debate;
if he does net accept, his lecture
will be interesting anyway as the
Socialists say they are prepared -
ask David some very pertinent
questions if he allows questions to
be asked.

COAL FIELDS 0F
 ALASKA PENINSULA
Mineral Resources Described In Report by United States Geo.
 logical Survey

miles i'll thickness at the hilt and trending south and west for a dis tance of nearly GOO miles, the Alaska Peninsula presents one of the most striking of land forma- lions. Beyond it stretches the chain of the AIcutian islands thousand miles farther. The coast line of the peinsula is ragged and fires ular, with innumcrablc in dentatiOns and bold cliffs and headlands.
 '"The Geology and Mineral Re- sources of Parts of Alaska Pen insula" is the title of a report by Wallace w. Atwood, recently is- sued by the United States GcolOg- teal Survey. During the Russian occupation of Alaska many facts concerning the geology of the peninsula were collected, but the study by Dali and Becker, of the Geological Survey, of the coal and gold deposits of Unga island and nf some nf the coal beds of the mainland in 1895 represents the first attempt at systematic invcs- tigation of the mineral resour- ces. Martin, in 1903 and 1904, made the first examination of the petroleum SecpaSeS. Meanwhile other investigators had cOntribut- ed L" the knowledge of the gen eral geology.
 The prosecution of the Surveys s general plan of Investigating the coal resources of Alaska led to MI. AtWOOdS work, which includ- ea the three most important local r"al fields, the Chignik, Heren- a"en bay and Unga. Incidentally be collected considerable infor- Eanation in regard to the general fScologS and mineral resources of fthe entire peninsula
 | Mapping was done in some de- tail in thn surveyed coal fields and Inc results are Sct fcrth with con- sldcrabh. confidence as to their accuracy. Far less definite inf0r- nation was obtained as tu the areai and strategic geology of the rest of the peninsula. If funds are available, more detailed invcs- iiEaiinlS of the geology and min rral deposits will be undertaken when the mining advancement seems to demand qh,m. As carly as iS5i attempts were made tO mine coal on Cook Inlet. Coal lclainES were Siakcd on Unga is- land in the carly seventies, and ten years later some systematic mining at this and other locali- lies dfn southwestern Alaska was begun. The rapid development of the more accessible coal fields of California, Washington, and Vancouver island, which began about 1870, supplied thc west coast market, and from that time until very recently little attcn- Etion has been given to Alaska coal. Mining to supply local demand has, however, continued in the peninsula to the present day.

ALASKA MUST NAVE
