WAGES INCREASE
 THROUGHT COUNTRY

WASHINGTON-The government ohi- cially announced today that an investi gation of the industries of the United States had disclosed the fact that the employers were spending from twenty to sixty per cent more for wages today than they were year ago. A large part of this increase in wage expenditure is due ,o the increase in the number of employees, but considerable of il is ac- counted for also by increased wages. The workers are in the best condition hnan cally that they have enjoyed for many years Ihls fortunate state of affairs is general throughout the whole country, and is not confined as would be sup posed to those workers engaged in the munition factories, but is common to all classes of labor, both skilled and un- skilled.

WHITE RACE BACK
 TO TROPICS

We are going back 10 the tropics, We Il mighty good place to migrate from. Those of us who have remained in the ropics have remained savage, stupid, half civilized, because We were bitten aud bosseu by insects. ougs and worms, and infected with all sorts of disease. Now We are going back to reoccupy and reconquer for the white race those great fertile stretches of country in which We originally grew up.
 Hithereto our success has depended largely upon the oegree to which we have separated ourselves from that dis. self-acting protection against many of the tropical diseases. Hook worm we find to be one of the ordinary appen- dages of humanity in the 30 degrees of latitude north and south O. the equator. That belt entirely around the earth is infested with hook-worm and humans just about in equal proportions, forming about one-third of the human race. The study of the American hook has revealed it to be one of the most curi- ously fascinating fruits of justice of the crimes of man. Strange as it may be, us soon as 1t was thoroughly described, 1t was found to be identical With the necator African, brought here with the African slaves, and II mas remained to be n scourge to the man who captured them.
 The best protection against hook k-worrn is good shoe leather. 1t Is d barefoot disease, and I have a strong suspicion that some of our feeling as to the disrs. spectabillty of going barefoot Is rem

 Now, however conditions are differ ent. For, on account of the war. Canada threatens to use all Of the asbestos that can be mined within her boundaries, which would mean no more imports of the material, as far as the United States is concerned

Another progressive step in the devel- opment and advancement of the material interests of the territory of Alaska comes with the official announcement by Sec- retary Lane of the interior department. that regulations have been issued under which private individuals and corpora tions may without further delay begin the leasing and operating of the vast coal fields of the northland. No longer are the extensive anthracite and bitum- inous resources of Alaska to be closed to American capital and enterprise.
 Ten years have eiapsed since the AL .lskan coal fields were withdrawn from private entry and development. The regulations are accompanied by maps and important general information re- garding the lands in question. Copies may be secured on application to the commission of the general land office.
 The issuance of these regulations may be said to mark an epoch in the history of Alaska, for Secretary Lanes an- nouncement means that about 33,37o acres of coal bearing lands in the Be- ring river country. and about 13 900 acres in the Matanuska section are restored to entry. Small areas in each of the
 eds have been reserved as required by law, and all the rest of the coal lands opened to private lease in amounts not exceeding ,560 acres to any one person or eorporation.
 Areas of leasing units vary in size from 20 to 1,200 acres in the Boring river section, which begins about thirty miles from the Copper River & North western railroad. The datanuska fields are less than 200 miles from Seward, and

ALASKA COAL LANDS
 OPEN TO LESSEES

the governments railroad is now under Matanuska can be brought to tidewater at the new town of Ancnorage, about seventy miles southerly. There are nine teen leasing units In all in the Matanuska and sixty leasing units in the Boring river districts. Both regions contain high grade bituminous and anthracite coal.
 Leases will be granted for a period of fifty years. The government exaets a royalty of two cents ton the first five, and five cents 6 ton for the succeeding twenty years After thls period of twen- ty-hve years, it is provided that the royalty shall not exceed five per cent of the selling price of the coal. The royalty exacted is considered small but reasona- was admittedly made low for the purpose of encouraging the leasing and also the development of local markets. The open ing of these fields will mean early cheap CT coal for mining, manufacturing and other purpose not only in the territory but along the Pacific coast generally It is expected that it will also prove de- cided incentive among prospectors.
 The governments plan is to receive proposal for leases without delay. Pref erence will be given, it is said. to those who will make the largest investments and the earliest development of the coal fields for commercial purposes.
 The form of lease is similar in large part to the private leases obtaining in the West Virginia coal fields and has been passed upon by a board of practical coal operators who nave approved il as a workable lease

OTHER RULES CHANGED

Attendance at the school in the dis

made compulsory by the school board
at its meeting last night, when rule
104 covering this feature was amend
ed. The rule was amended and
made very plain to get out of the
difficulties in which the board has
found itself In the past year by re-
quests from parents to have their
children transferred to other schools.
The rule as amended provides for
transfers at the close of the school
year, effective next year, for all
pupils who are going to school in
buildings other than the one in their
district.
The rule as amended provides that
Cali children shall attend school in
the division district in which they
reside, unless the class to which
| they belong should be lacking" There
are several cases of violation of the
new rule, of parents sending their
pupils to other schools than the one
| in the district, and these pupils will
be expected to adhere to the rule
next fall
The board discussed the amend
ment of the rule relating to corporal
punishment, ana repealed sentence
in another rule which has heretofore
prohibited teachers from sending
pupils to another room for punish
ment. This rule was meant to cover
the possibility of sending a pupil to
dark closet or wardrobe. These
have been eliminated in all buildings,
