business worries. The day dawned
irto one ordered especially for the
occasion aud b. O'Clock the streets
we're lined with automobiles and
vehicles of every description.
The feature of the program was

mammoth parade was formed on the
public square and extended far out
Franklin street. Caily bedeeked
motor vehicles, bnggies. wagons and
tractors furnished riding conveyan-

OF the tenan, law. The speaker
declared that he was opposed TO the
proposed law when II was advocated
some two years ago. but that he has
never ventured an opinion as TO its

tenant farmers present to signify
same by holding up their hands.
Probably a hundred hands were rails

could point to benefits derived from
the enactment of the law and no

COAL LEASES II BE MADE VERY
 EXPLICIT

When an individual or a corpora ton takes a lease on Alaska coal land he will not be bothered by any regu lations for interpreting the terms of the lease. It will all be in the lease itself" said Secretary Lane. of the department of the interior.
 After many months of study and investigation. we have now determined upon a form of lease. and have re jected the idea of having extended regulations go with it. The form is not long, but it gives the lessee the exact knowledge of what he may and may not do In framing it, we have had the advice of private operators as well as government officials.
 q am confident that it will prove satisfactory and that it will produce real development of the Alaska coal fields.
 Surveys of the Alaska coal fields have been completed. We are waiting now for the completion of the maps and the setting apart of the exact areas to be reserved for government purposes. When all this is done-and it will be done soon-we will make public the form of lease and at the same time will make public the maps, showing the exact places where leases may be taken
