Alaska Coal Veins SO Feet Thick
Reported by u. S. COMMISSIONS

even if the present supply were at
once cut off,"
According to Mr.. Marsh there are
four principal Goa banks. The larg-
est, at the north of the Endicotte
mountains, between latitude So and SO,
and extending from Cape Lisbon to a
point 375 miles east, is the largest in
the world n it alone would be more
than sufficient to put to out the ideas
of the most pessimisic persons that
coal some hundreds of years hence will
be almost extinct.
"The Endicotte deposit is one con-
tinuous mass, practically unbroken. II
is from twelve to thirty-five miles
wide n contains dozens of veins ff-
ty feet thick Of the purest type. Tu

Colville river, Chip river, on the coast
line at Cape Lisbon. and at the east
ern end OF the Sovanukto river"
MI. Marsh says he took 200 samples
in these sections and found no trace
of sulphur. To the south, he says
there Is another belt of pure anthra-
cite. Out Of thirty eight samples, he
found 70 per cent pure carbon. The
coal, he says, crops out along the riv-
ers in great masses.
In addition to this, Mr.. Marsh says
the natives from, remote sections have
come into camp with samples Of the
best grades Of petroleum he ever saw
According to them, the oil flowed out

SPRING UNDER THE SOUTHERN
CROSS.

The morns are growing misty, the
nights are turning cold,
The linden leaves are falling with a
shower Of gold;
And over where my heart Is, beneath
the southern sun,
The shearing's nearly over and the
springs begun.
The crying hocks are driven to feed
in peace again,
They stream and spread and scatter
on the smooth green plain,
And in the sky above them the soft
spring breeZes keep
A flock of clouds as snowy as the new
shorn sheep.
Now later comes the sunshine, and
sooner comes the dark;
The barefoot newsboys shiver; the
ladies in the park
Wear furs about their shoulders, for
autumn winds arc keen,
And rusty, curling edges feck the
chestnut's green.
The mists hangs gausy curtains of
pearl and pigeon-blue
Between us and the distance: the
strcet-lamps shining through
w Z 'uAsI " 6NiNNA t'A'Sb
and fair
But not one whit more lovely than my
own clear air.
More clear than you can dream 1t, as
bright as diamond,
1t bathes the plains and ridges n the
hills beyond.
1t bathes the pilIared woodlands that
ring with be1l-bird notes,
With mating-calls and answers from
a thousand threats.
The lamps are lit in London, and in
their searching light
The smiling anxious faces look very
strained and white:
And over where my heart is, twelve
thousand miles away,
The deWy grass Is glistening at the
break Of day.

Pittsburgh Dispatch: S. J. Marsh,
United States commissioner of the
Fourth judicial district Of Alaska, GOV
ering an area larger than the. state of
New York, gave his first account for
publication last night OF the actual
conditions Of a country one-third the
size Of the United States and, accord
ing to him, the future source of her
wealth. Nh. Marsh is in Pittsburgh
on his way to Washington, D. c.. to
make an official report. For twenty
years he has been a resident of Alas
ka.
Mr.. Marsh declares the people of
the United States, as a whole, have
ness of Alaska and her future posi-
bilities. He says the popular belief
that the country is a land Of snow and
ice Is incorrect, but that there are sec
tons where frost never has been
known to touch and which are Of the
highest fertility.
Explores Entire Northwest.
Since 1901 the commissioners has
mapped out n explored practically
the entire northeast section of the
country. as far north as the Arctic
ocean, for the United States govern
ment. On one trip he ~journeyed 200
days without even seeing SO much as
a dog. 1t was while travelling through

certain parts of the coal deposits, new

man. E.

INTEREST IN MARKET.

Residents of Fargo are showing in
creased interest in the plan to estah-
lish a central market, to increase
gardening in this vicinity and to es-
tablish vegetable canneries. 1t is as
serted all three can be assured with a
little cooperation on the part Of the
citizens.
The central market idea has been
agitated for years and at one time
sentiment was so strong for the plant
that the council passed an ordinance
creating a market and to provide for
the purchase Of a site and the erec-
ton of the building. Mayor Sweet
vetoed the proposition. The members
of the new city commission are favor
able to the idea and something will
undoubtedly be done this spring.
Gardening has beer growing in this
vicinity for a number of years until
many practical and experienced men
are now engaged in the industry. They
will greatly increase their acreaKe II
assured Of a central or other kind OF
market for their produce.
The success of the vegetable can
neries at Lisbon and Casselton has
inspired ~F'argoans with the desire to
operate on a larger scale. The
matter is now under investigation and
has the endorsement of the commercial
club, which appointed a committee to
investigate the matter. It is under
stood many citizens will take stock in
such an enterprise.

THE BEST ADVERTISING.

At his address at the Saginaw Board
of Trade dinner recently, Hugh Chal-
mers, the we'll known Detroit automo-
bile manufacturer, voiced one truth
that Is coming to be more and more
recognized. Comparing the various
mediums he stated very positively
that the newspaper is the best. He
said:
THE newspaper is the best
means Of advertising. 1t reaches
all the people: is read day after
day, and as a medium for getting
effective results it is ahead Of the
magazines or any other agency"
Mr.. Chalmers is at the head of a
big and successful automobile concern,
which owes it's existence and it's
growth to him. In the present condd-
ton Of the automobile industry adver-
tisfng is essential to its very existence.
First Of all 1t is necessary for contin .
ued success that a reasonably good
machine be manufactured, but beyond
that the fact must be laid before the
public and the users Of automobiles
must be interested In 1t through the
advertising columns.
The statement made by Mr.. Chal-
mers Is 10Y generally recognized
among automobile men. Millions of
dollars are spent by them every year.
In no other industry is advertising
competition keener or is it more
necessary to place the advertising
where it will yield the best results.
They have made a science of adver-
tising and they have proved that
newspaper advertising yields better
results than any other, that, in the
words Of Mr.. Chalmers, at is ahead
OF any other agency"
The reason is Of course that the
newspaper gets to the people as nc
other agency does, that 1t goes into
the homes and is read with a con
stancy, a regularity and a thorough
ness, that are given to no other me-
dunn. No other publication is SC
close to the people. is so much a part
of their daily life.
The e~nterprising merchant Of today
advertises: the discriminating adver-
tiser uses the columns Of the evening
daify newspapers. That has been the
secret of the success Of many q bust

Cass county is the wealthiest in the
state and its citizens are paying this
year almost 81, 900, 900 in taxes. The
county contributes near $4,000 to
the expenses of the state. It's school
fund levy reaches a total of $273,336.
The expense of the county govern
ment makes another large total of
$176.940. This is larger than the av-
erage year because one item of SAL 1928
is for the new county Jail.
The cost Of the insane from tMs
county in the state hospital at James
town, half the expenses Of which must
be borne by tile county from which
the patient is sent, reaches nearly

added that Miss Dorothy MacVane is

story of her sisters embarrassment.
1t is really a. mystery how the writ

Meeting for Men Only

Great Crowds Enjoying Religious
Treat at DR.. Morrison
Revival Services.

Those who failed to hear Or. Henry
Clay Morrison, who is conducting a re-
viyal at St Pauls Methodist church, on
Grant and Sidney streets, are missing a
great religious treat, according to the
pastor and officers of the church.
Dr. Morrison has preached two sermons
every day for the past week and will
preach twice a day for the ensuing week.
His talks are plain, old-fashioned Bible
truths, and while his style is plain and
simple, he utters precepts and hurls such
straight truths at his congregation as
can not fail to awake the greatest inter-
est and enthusiasm
The church was packed Friday night,
and as the crowds are steadily increasing,
it is believed the church will hardly hold
the congrega cations during this week.
Sunday afternoon at o'clock there will
be a special meeting for men only, which
will be addressed by DR.. Morrison. A
cordial invitation is extended to men in
the city to attend
Meetings will be held every morning
this week at II o'clock and every evening
at 1880 o'clock.
