JOHN MUIR AND TREES.
The Great NaturaIist's Pie. For the
Preservation Of Forests.

Tho Great Naturalist's Plea For the
Preservation Of Forests.
Few men loved and knew trees bet
ter than John Muir, the naturalist Of
the SierraR He fought hard to pre-
serve the forests. and in one Of his
books he says:
All sort of local laws ana regula-
lions have been tried and found want
ing. and the costly lessons Of our own
experience as well as that of every
Civilized nation show conclusively that
the fate of the remnant of our forests
Is in the hands Of the federal govern
ment and that IL the remnant Is to be
saved at all it must be saved quickly.
Any fool can destroy trees. They
cannot run away. and II they could
they would still be destroyed-chased
and hunted down as long as fun or q
dollar could be got out Of their bark

bole backbonea Few that fell trees
plant them. Nor would planting avail
much toward getting back anything
like the noble primeval forests. Dur.

years to make some Of the trees in
these western woods-rees that are

beauty, waving and surging in the

Permit May Be Extended

While the law permits these permits to be issued for a period of not to ex- ceed ten years, the regulations con- tained in the circular provide for only two years, beginning at the date of filing, subject to the approval of the commissioner of the general land of fee. The circular adds, however:
 Upon application and satisfactory showing as to the necessity therefor" |" the permit may be extended by the commissioner for longer period, sub ject to such conditions necessary for the protection of the public interest as may be imposed prior to or at the time of the extension"
 It is provided also that the permit may be revoked for misrepresenta- tion, carelessness, waste, injury to the property, charging unreasonable prices for coal, or material violation of such rules and regulations governing operations as shall have been pre- scriben in advance of the issuance of the permit

HOLLAND IN UNIFORM
 BUT NOT AT WAR

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 THE HAGUE, Feb. 6-Martial scenes without the horrors of war are still as frequent in Holland as in any of the belligerant countries, notwithstanding that the Netherlands are absolutely neutral. The Dutch army, was. in fact, the first to mobilize and since the beginning of European hostiIities the streets of its cities and its coun. try roads have swarmed with armed men proceeding to or from their bar racks and their manoeuvring grounds The cafes, the restaurants, the thea tres, the clubs and other public gather Ing places are crowded every day with men in uniform.
 The cost of all these preparations for the defense of the country against possible attempt to commit a breach Of its determined neutrality is borne almost with equanimlty by the people. as was evidenced by the over-sub. seription of the recent Government loan. Diminution of trade has follow ed in the wake of the war outside boundaries. This has been due prin- cipally to the embargo placed on the exportation of various articles and to the difficulty of obtaining coal, much of which was imported from Germany. the figures showing that only 264,9I9 freight cars crossed the Dutch-Ger- man frontier last year as compared with 337.26S in 1913. Coal imports were reduced from 125,766 car loads in 1913 to sS,278 car olads last year.

GERMAN WOMEN ACTIVE
 IN BEHALF IF SOLDIERS

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 BERLIN. Feb. 6-Cooperative socie- ties in Germany have done excellent work among their members and their dependents during the six months of the war Over five and a half million people, mostly of the working classes, belong to these societies, which DOS sess a to al capital of $1,50O,0 DOC, ,00O and cover a large field of operations, the chief of which is the running of supply stores The endeavor of these supply stores has been directed toward keeping down prices of food stuffs and this has been of great assistance to the families of those members who have been called to the colors. The stores in consequence of the en- couragement they have given to thrifty people to save in time of peace, have found that in most cases they have not had to break their rule call. ing for ready money settlement for purchases. Other cooperative organ izations, such as cooperative building societies, have have experienced more trouble in collecting the instanments towards paying off the cost of con struction of workmen's houses, but this difficulty has generally been over come by the aid of the cooperative banks, which grant loans at small in terest. The cooperative workshops have found it difficult to obtain raw materials. but those which have under taken military contracts have been ex- ceedingly prosperous.

Need Not Cover Ten Acres

While the act limits the amount of land under a single permit to ten acres, the circular explains that "it is not to be inferred from this, however, that the permit granted hereunder shall necessarily cover that area. The ground covered by permit must be square in form and limited to an area reasonably sufficient to supply the quantity of coal needed"
 A permit grants only a license to prospect for, mine and remove coal free of charge from the unreserved public coal lands in Alaska, it is set forth, and does not authorize the min ing of any other form of mineral de- posit nor the cutting and removal of timber.
 The circular instructs that the ap- pllcant shall make out his application on the simple blank which is to be provided for the purpose. and trans mitted by registered mail to the local land office, or filed there In person. Prior to executing the application, the applicant must have gone upon the land, plainly marked the boundaries | thereof by substantial monuments, and posted notice setting forth his inten. tion of mining coal thereon.

COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES
 DOING GOOD WORK

HANOVER, Feb. 6-Over a million women are engaged throughout Ger many in work for the soldiers at the front. Members of over two thous- and women societies give their ser vices voluntarily to the various branches of assistance both for those fighting in the trenches and for those who have returned disabled by wounds or disease. Not only are they doing splendid work in nursing in the field and in the hospitals, but they are looking after those who are conval- escing in private houses and public in- stitutions or recuperating in order to be able to return to the firing line.
 In the numerous recreation halls where the wounded soldiers gather the women also do their best to provide entertainment. In other respects also they are kept busy-for instance in or. ganizing popular kitchens where food is provided cheaply for the indigent dependents of the soldiers They also knit and make warm garments for the troops, while many of them de. vote themselves to the care of the children of poor women obliged to gc to work to keep their homes together during their husbands absence.

DETAILS UT GOAL LEASING
 BILL

Details of how the system of free lease of ten acre tracts of coal land in Alaska is to be put into effect are set forth in a circular letter which Secretary Lane is sending to the land office officials in the territory. Ac- companying the circular will go a sup ply of printed blank applications and blank leases, or permits, as they are termed, with view of giving Alas 1 kans access to the coal beds for do- nestle and local use at as early date as possible.
 After reciting section 10 of the coal leasing law, which permits the grant ing of free use permits, Secretary Lane says in the letter:
 owing to the legal embarrass- ment occasioned by existing claims and there being no settlements or To- cal industries in or adjacent to the Boring river or Matanuska coal fields, these regulations and the permits pro vided for shall not at present apply to coal deposits in these fields"
 Only Citizens May Lease
 Quoting Section of the leasing act as to the qualifications that must be possessed by applicants, the circular continues:
 "Only citizens of the United States above the age of 21 years. associations of such citizens, corporations and mu- nicipalties organized under the laws of the United States. or of any state or territory thereof, provided that the majority of the stock of such corpora ton shall at all times be owned and held by citizens of the United States, are eligible to receive permit to pros pect for and mine coal from the unre- served lands of Alaska"
 And it is set forth also that all per mittees may mine coal for sale. except railroads and common carriers, who. by the terms of section 3 of the act. are restricted to the requirement of only such an amount of coal as may be required and used for their own consumDtion
The Cordova daily times., 1915-02-16

scription of the land as given in the application must correspond with the descriptions as marked on the ground.
 The permit. If granted, should be recorded with the local mining district recorder, if the land is situated with in an organized mining district.
 ''In view of the fact that by reason of the long distances and limited means of transportation many appli cants may be unable to appear in Der. son at the United States land office to file their applications, it has been deemed advisable to allow such appli- cants the privilege of mining coal as 1 soon as their applications have been duly executed and sent by registered mail to the proper United States land office. Should an application be re- jected, upon the receipt of notice there. of all privileges under this paragraph terminate. and the applicant must cease to mine coal.
 Land Officers Have Authority.
 The officers of the local land offices are given authority to issue permits and to suspend or reject them. sub ject to the usual appeal to the commis. sioner of the general land office. The register of the local office Is reouired to keep a record of all permits. The register, on granting permit, is re- quired to forward to the commissioner Of the general land office the original application and copy of the permit and transmit copies to the chief or the Alaska field division and to the local representatives of the United States bureau of mines.
 u IS provided that an applicant may. | where no public land surveys exist, de | scribe the land for which he is apply. ing by metes and bounds.
 Reasonable Price Enforced
 In the application he must state that he has not applied within two years for permit of like character in the same field; he must agree to exercise reasonable diligence, precaution and skill in operation to prevent injury and waste" and to agree "to charge only such prices for coal sold to others as represents a fair return for the labor expended and reasonable earning value to which the investment in the enter. prise is entitled, without including any charge for the coal itself"
