BROOKS FIGHTS
 C0NSERvAI:tON
Attribute Shrinkage of Produc- tion to Conservation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "A partial report of the mineral resources of
 Alaska made by Dr Alfred Brooks,
 of the Geological Survey, which has just been published, attributes the
 si,rinkaSe of mineral production in Alaska to the government interfcr
 ence in the matter Of mining coal. which is found in abundance in the territory, but in spite of which coat
 is imported in large quantities from Japan. Australiy, Washington and British Columbia.
 s. More than l00.0O 'onS of coal was shipped into the territory the past year. according to u. :, report and the added expense to he mine operators i has retarded the development of many mines and prevented the open ing of others
 The attitude of tt" government to
 wards Alaska railroads is also to
 blame. says the report, as the tax of
 $1O0 mile imposed on the railroads 1 by the government is a burden which the roads cannot carry and provide cheap transportation.
 The advance copies of the report have heen distributed among the members of congress in the hope that l it will influence them to vote for the railroad bill now before them provid i ing for the construction of railroads { and the purchase of such roads as are now in operation. which may be add ed to the government system.

Now, of course, Cupid fired the
first shot and deserves lots of the
credit but the God of Coincidence in
jected into the proceedings a remark
able series of condolences and hap
penings that transformed the budding
romance from a regular" romance
into a unique "coincidental romance"
Here are few of the things that
