80 MILES OF COAL LAND.
And IS Miles Wide Along Cowlitz River
in Washington.

Along Cowlitz river, Washington
northward from its junction with the
Columbia, lies an area of coal land 30
miles long and 10 miles wide. Probably
| a large part of this area is not under
| lain by coal, but beds are exposed at SO
many places in the field that all of it is
considered possible coal land. This field,
says A. j. Collier in a report on the
coal resources of Cowlitz river valley.
just issued by the United States geolog-
zeal survey as Bulletin SILL, is probab-
~ continuous with that about Centralia
and Chehalis, although for few miles
south from Chehalis no outcrops of coal
have been found The whole region was
formerly covered by forest, and although
much OF it has been logged off, the sur.
face is still stTewn with material left by
the rank growth.
The evidence of coal in this region is
found in natural outcrops, in prospects,
and in mines. The material is Ignite
except at few places where it has been
improved by intrusions of igneous rock
Near the old openings are commonly
found fragments of wood. In one To-
eality Ignite was found which had only
a slight change of color from the initial
wood.
A description of the mines and out.
crops in this area is contained in bull

During January a little more than
100000 acres were thrown open to entry

logical survey designating these lands
as nonirrigable. This brings the total
area in public land states that has been
classified as Ion-irrigable since the pas

G.. O. p. AND MOOSE
IN GET-TOGETHER
No One Seems To Know Whether There
Was a Reunion or Not
Yesterday.

| Columbus, o., Feb. 27.--0hio Republi,
cans assembled in large numbers here
yesterday to attend dinner intended al
a "get-together" for Republicans and for
mer Progressives.
They heard d. Meade Massie of Chill.
licothe, former Roosevelt Republican
characterize Gov. James NJ. Cox as "a
common enemy against whose Democrat
ic machine all good citizens should unite,
and Senator William E. Borah of Idaho,
argued for national policy of absolute
obliteration of monopoly. Senator Borah
also expressed hope that Ohio would
enter the ranks OF woman suffrage states,
and predicted that equal suffrage would
become nationwide eventually, through
adoption by individual states and not by
federal constitutional amendment.
Whether the meeting yesterday was
actually a get. together" between Re.
publicans and Progressives was a ques-
ton of dispute. Republican leaders as
serted that 20 per cent of those attend
ing the dinner voted the third party
ticket in 1912.
Charles l.. Thurber, secretary of the
Progressive state executive committee,
gave out statement denying that many
members of the Progressive party are
returning to the Republican fold. He
said:
"The Republican meeting in Columbus
to-day is not getting together of Re-
publicans and Progressives, but merely
a getting together of the old standpat
crowd"

Allay the Radium Fever.

! The inability OF radium to perform
the miracles that misguided enthusiasts
have mistakenly accredited TO it cannot
be emphasized too strongly. Great mis-
chief has been done by sensational re.
ports.
In New York, noted surgeon has
cancelled his talk on the legitimate use
OF radium, scheduled in series of medi-
cal lectures, merely TO lessen the pub
LEFTY already given the subject.
In Baltimore, Congressman Bremner,
the most widely advertised radiim pm
tient, is dying The 100000 worth OF
the precious mineral has been powerless
to check the disease The result was a
foregone conclusion. Every sane physi-
clan could have prophesied it from the
outset
The Herald repeats its warning that
radinm is not a cure for cancer. II is
used in the treatment, just as the salicy-
lates are used for rheumatism. II has
never cured an advanced case. II has
never cured an internal cancer. 1t has
never cured cancer that a surgeon could
not have permanently removed with a
few strokes OF his sealpel.
The only reason radium is used is that
its effect on cancerous tissue holds out
a line of investigation that may produce
results in the future, and because in the
application to early skin cancers, it
leaves a smaller scar and avoids the 9TH
er diseomforts of operation. Only one
cure for cancer exists to-day-surgery
applied before the disease has progressed
beyond human aid.--Boston Herald.

INNER EARTH HOT AND DENSE.
Declares Grove Carl Gilbert of U. S.
Geological Survey.

! A strictly scientific contribution to
knowledge in the form of discussion
| OF some of the results incidental TO the
triangulation work done by the coast
and geodetic survey, is presented by
Grove Carl Gilbert, of the United States
geological survey, in a short paper ON
Gravity" recently published by the geo.
logical survey as part G Of professional
paper 80.
After stating the anomalies of grav-
| ity, which are also expressed graphically
on the map of the United States accom-
panying the paper, Mr.. Gilbert discusses
the Interpretation of these anomalies
under the assumption OF imperfect isos-
tatic adjustment, vertical hetrogeneity
of the crust, and variation OF depth of
compensation. The geologic relations
suggested by the map showing the geo
graphic distribution OF the anomalies
are next set forth.
The speculative nature OF this scien-
tific contribution is well expressed by
Mr. Gilbert in the few sentences that in
troduce the section discussing interpre-
tation by nuclcal heterogeneity:
"The inner earth is the inalienable
playground OF the imagination. Once it
contained the FORCES of blacksmith gods
or it was the birthplace OF our race, or
the home or prison of disembodied
spirits. Later Symmes followed from
il vast habitable empire, concave like
the world of koresh. Science now claims
exclusive title but holds it chiefly for
speculative purposes; and the freedom
oil speculation practically recognizes but
two limitations: The inner earth is
dense. and it is rigid As to all other
opinion is untrammeled.
1T is my own view that the inner
part of the nucleus is not merely hot.
but very hot. If the law of expansion
by pressure and the law of expansion
by heat. as we know them at the sur
face. apply equally to the nucleus, them
the mean temperature OF the earth must
be enormous in order to afford mean
density so low as SO An enormous
temperature implies an enormous store
OF heat"

| GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK, THICK, GLOSSY
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur. properly compounded
brings back the natural color and luster
to the hair when faded, streaked OF
gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp
and stops falling hair. Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was to
make it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You will get large
bottle for about 80 cents. Everybody
uses this old, famous recipe, because no
one can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair disap-
pears, and after another application or
two, your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look years
younger.Advt.

A Girl With a Genius for Millinery.

1 In the February Woman's Home Com
panion, Mary louise Graham writes an
article entitled "A Child's Own Re
sources" in which she shows in an in
teresting way the value of teaching chill
dren and people in general how to gain
happiness through work. The author
says that in her own family she studied
the tastes and aptitudes OF each child
with view to discovering the kinds OF
work which to him would contain the
least drudgery and the most of accom-
plishment and satisfaction. Following
is an extract:

New York Gamblers the Crookedest of
All

In the February American Magazine,
Hugh s. Fullerton begins a new series
of articles entitled american Gam
bling and Gamblers" On the subject of
New York gamblers he says in part:
"While have been in gambling hous-
es all over America, and in some in New
York my knowledge OF gambling there

tions practically have compelled gam
blers either to quit or to rob their pa
irons. One evening last summer
asked my friend the barkeeper where a
game could be found.
"'There's one up the street Forty

Minnesota Prison Life.

The Minnesota state prison was es-
tablished for the confinement and re-
formation of convicts." That is the
language OF the statutes, and similar
language is found in the laws of only
four other states.
The new cell block was built at a
cost of over S3,000.000, and satisfies
every advanced idea of prison construc-
tion. No more than one prisoner is per-
mitted in cell; the sanitary arrange
ments are excellent; light and heat and
ventilation are like those in a school
The discipline is very strict, but con-
Isistent. Everything, except some of the
machines, operates noiselessly and with
precision. There is no dark cell no
whipping post, no claiming device, or
any other manner of corporal punish
ment. In lieu of these a system of re-
wards and punishments has been
evolved. The prisoner who does not be-
have gets less food than the others.
If he persists in his contrariness, he is
put in a darkened, not dark, cell As
the very limit of punishment his to-
baceo is taken from him. The loss of his
tobacco usually appeals quickly and
strongly to convict's Judgment.
In so far the Saltwater prison is
similar to the best elsewhere; but in the
use of its manufactured products it is
unique. Within the prison is located the
best-equipped factory for the production
of binder Irvine anywhere in the eoun-
try, and it has the third largest output
OF any similar factory.
Here is the revolutionary fact. The
manufacture of binder Irvine in the Min
nesota prison is so well managed that it
entirely supports the prison, and earns
enough more TO give every convict a
small daily wage-By Richard Barry in
March Century.
