Matanuska coal field in Alaska from
which the Department last year OBJ
tanned sufficient coal to conduct prac-
tical tests which demonstrated its suit
ability for naval use.
"The opening of this field to rail
transportation to tidewater," says a
department announcement, "is mat
ter of great Importance to the navy,
which ships annually about 100000
tons of coal from the Atlantic to the
Pacific Ocean. The present freight
rate is from 81 to IS ton but the
opening of the Alaskan railway should
make it possible to ship coal from the
Matanuska field at a price so much
lower as to make the annual saving in
the cost of the navy's coal bill of
great moment.

YOUNG LADIES
WILL PLAY BALL

A number of Montpelier's young
ladies caught the base ball fever the
first of the week and they forthwith
organized team. They have been
working out nearly every evening
this week, and the proficiency dis
played in catching fiys, stopping hot
grounders, running bases, etc., sur
prised all of the old base ball heads.
Halle Dewey and Constance McIn-
tosh have been taking turns at shoot
ing the sphere, and they sure can
put the stuff" on the ball. The
only position which is worrying the
girls is that of catcher. Miss Their
essa Standing had the nerve to try
out behind the bat for a couple Of
evenings, but she was put out Of
commission Tuesday evening by get
ting a swat in the eye. with ball.
and she doesn t-care to try it again.
Her experience has made all the
other members of the team a little
timid about playing that position
and it is likely they will add male
member to the team to officiate rs
catcher.
The young ladies have gotten
wind" of the challenge from the fat
men, which appears in this issue,
and they propose to promptly accept
it. AS soon as the managers of the
two "aggregations" can agree upon
the purse to be played for. the date
and other details, the fans will have
the pleasure of witnessing the great
est game of ball ever played on thii
or any other diamond.

REALIZE NEED OF BETTER
NATIONAL DEFENSE

Washington, Aug. 4.-The admin
istration is now said to be contem-
plating an adequate programme
for national defence to be submitted
to the next congress. As prelimina-
ry to this there must be a certain
eating of words. Josephus Daniels,
for instance, will have to masticate
and swallow his speech at New York,
wherein he poked fun at those peo-
pie who said the navy needed more
men and more officers, more sub
marines, more destroyers, more and
faster battleships, and some battle
cruisers-of which we have none.
When this eating of words begins,
the President himself must have a
high place at the feast. For it was
the President himself who took oc.
casion, only last December, TO tel
congress that there was no new
need to discuss" the question Of na
tional defence. The country" b,
said, has been misinformed. W.
have not been negligent of nationa
defence. We are not unmindful O
the great responsibility resting upoI
u.s." Hypnotized by these words
reinforced as they were by the who'll
power of the administration, dem
ocratic congress resisted any repub
lican attempt to provide more me
and guns for the army and NOR
men and ships for the navy; an

CHANGE IN HIGH
SCHOOLS OF IDAHO

Endorsement Of a sweeping change
in the high school studies Of this
state by which science and vocation
al work viii largely replace foreign
languages, on the part of 1.-THE state
board of education, Is announced
following adjournment Of the boards
two day session Thursday Of last
week, says the Capital News. The
change means that the dead LAM
guages will be relegated to the rear
and the advanced step Of substitut-
ing more modern and scientific edu-
cational subjects will be followed
with the idea Of training students to
meet the everyday problems OF life.
The board adopted a resolution 70
this effect and already letters have
been issued to the city and county
superintendents asking their cooper
alton and suggestion in substituting
the change.
Idaho is not the first state to take
this advanced step but it is one Of
the very few in this country. For
some time there has been a move
ment under way to modernize the
high school course so that students
would be equipped either with com
mercial or agricultural knowledge
that would be Of great benefit tO
them when leaving the high school

have high school training are moi
fortunate enough to be able to take
"a college course. Study Of the dead
languages or in fact any of the Ian.

have given high school courses the

ing educators of the country. II hai
therefore been necessary in face oi
not little opposition TO gradually
introduce more modern courses II

course was the first to make head
way as one of the more modern higl
school courses. Since there has beel
a demand for agricultural courses
and for more liberal instruction
