Farther UnIocking of Alaska

Further Unlocking of Alaska ! A bin has been introduced in the house by Representative Ferris, of Oklahoma, and in the senate by Senator Walsh, of Montana, providing for the lease of coal lands in Alaska, thus to encourage the opening of coal fields in chat territory. The synopsis of the bib which has been telegraphed, on the face of fit, appears to provide a workable measure and one which will probably invite the investment of capital, at least as soon as the construction of the railroad system furnishes the trans portation facilities without which no mines can be opened to profitable proc duction.
 The minimum royalty of cents a ton which tha bill pi oyides is certainly moderate enough, as is the further provision of an annual rental of % cents an acre upon tho land lu fact this is probably cheaper on the whole than the price of S2O am acre for land close to a railroad, which the govern. meut now charges on sales of coal land.
 At the present time there are no laws operative in Alaska under which title can be acquired to coal land either by purchase or lease. The provisions of the existing laws for the sale oi coal lands are imperative, because, after the passage of those laws, the land office, under the direction of President Roosevelt, withdrew all the lands from entry. Congress must either pass some new law, such as that provided in the bill now before it, or the executive must release the lands and permit the old lave to operate. The measure pro- viding for leasing of coal lands, or some other measure along similar lines OF else the executive suggested, is necessary part of any program for the opening of Alaska, in which the con struction of government railroad is the first step.-P. ].

 Next evening, on his homeward jour ney, Casey carried a bod with him Go serve as d weapon should he again en-. counter the bull Tbis time, however, the bull was absent. Only a playful, harmless calf was in sight. Approach ing 1t, the vindictive Casey gave it a sharp blow with the hod, al the same time sxcIaimiug excitedly:
 "Tabe that, and tell your father Pat rick Casey done it."-Lippiucott'5.
