If we are to get the best that Europe

ALASKAN COAL LANDS.

1t is a matter of qualification that
congress has. in passing the Alaskan
coal lands bill, taken steps to make the
immense coal deposits Of the territory
available, and 1t Is also gratifying
that the bill was passed without par
tisan controversy. The name of its
passage Is one Of those things which
occur from time to time to convince
us that politicians. after all. are not
quite 80 bad as they are often paint
ed. The strictly political course. &C
cording to some Of the precedents,
would have been for the Democrats,
being for the time in control of the
government. to propose a bill, and for
the Republican,. being for the time in
the minority. to pick flaws in It and
fight it's passage with amendments.
objections. and general filibuster. For
%tunately the sensible plan vas follow
ed Of considering the bill on its mer-
its. making of it the best bill that the
members knew how to make, and
passing it without fuss.
Alaska has coal deposits Of enor-
nous extent and value. Their loca.
ton in the western part OF the CONT
nent makes them Of especial value.
for. outside of Alaska, western coal
is not so plentiful. It would have
been a crime to permit these deposits
to go the way Of the stores Of miner
al wealth in the older part Of the
United States, and to become the pos,
session of private interests under COM
ditions which would tend to promote
private monopoly In one Of the great
human necessities.
The merit Of the new law cannot be
inteliigsntiy discussed without careful
study and expert knowledge, but the
fact that the bill was passed by prae-
tically unanimous vote indicated that
the members Of congress 1t least be-
lieve that they have enacted q law
which Will raake the Aiasken coal de-
posts available for Use without any
risk that they will fall . prey 70 mo-
nopoly.

BRANDON CITIZENS
Rolled In Snow Drift When Their
Horse Ran Away

Brandon, Ohio, Feb. 2G-Two of
Brandon's most respected citizens
walked into that village Wednesday
afternoon well covered with snow and
with sheepish expressions upon their
faces. They we're far from guilty of
any misdeamnor but both we're loath
to tell the reason for their unusual
appearance. The truth of the matter
was that they had been well rolled in
a snow drift when their horse ran
away and they felt slightly ashamed
of it.
Shortly after noon Mr.. Roy Morey
and Roy Watson started to gas well
about one mile distant from the vii
lage. The trip was made upon small
sled drawn by one horse At the
start of the return trin, the two men
took seats upon the sled and started
the horse. 1t started all right but SO
suddenly that the sled was jerked out
from under them and both fioundered
around in the snow in amazement.
The unseating was so sudden that
neither realized at first just what
had happened. They walked back to
Brandon and found that the horse had
gone home and was standing there
looking perfectly innocent when they
arrived.

and he fell heavily, striking the back
of his head violently. He was dazed
for a short time, but managed to
struggle to sitting posture. The ac.

was seriously injured and no effort
was made Immediately to move him
from the side walk where he was
sitting.

His condition is very critical and
chances for recovery are considered
very slight.

Miss Beam said Thursday morning
that she had been dreaming of fire.
She awoke in the midst of the dream
and discovered that her room was
filed with smoke. She spread the
alarm rapidly and the the young lady
students and the teachers quickly got
the string of hose and attached it to
a fire hydrant which was conveniently
near. The nozzle was carried up as
near to the flames as it was possible
to go and the stream was played upon
the burning rafters. The fire had
started in the attic, either from an
overheated flue or from a gas range
in the attic kitchen.
The work of extinguishing the fire
took the attention Of the young ladies'
and the teachers so completely that
no time was expended in alarming the
village and it was practically under
control when men, who resided in the
began to arrive.
The roof over that whole section of |
the building was damaged beyond re-
pair and that, in addition to furniture
and fixtures in the attic that were
burned, entailed loss of about $4,000.
The loss to the building was covered
by insurance.
Temporary repairs have already
been started upon the roof and a new
one will be built as soon as possible.
