s"Considerable interest in the Alas ka coal leasing plan is being mani tested by prospective applicants for leases, especially in the Matanuska field, where early and most favorable transportation facilities are assured, Says Commissioner Clay Tallman, of the general land office, in his annual report to the secretary of the in- teriOr.
 Although it is believed the coal in the Nenana field will be mined largely for local consumption, it is apparent that with the coming Of the railroad there will be many applica- tions for leases, and it would, there fore. be desirable to designate leasing units in this field early in the next summer The field work in the Mat anuSkd anu NeHdHd lleluS VIII be completed this season, and the field work in the Bering field probably will be completed, although unusual fogs and cloudy weather in that section have interfered considerably with the making of the necessary observations resulting in some absolutely unavoid able delays"
 Commissioner Tallman states that up to June 30, 1915, the coal land sur veys in the north included 15,OOt acres in the Boring River field, 19,00( acres in the Nenana field and 6OOO( acres in the Matanuska field. During the year public land surveys were ex tended over 9O,0OO acres of agricultu- ral lands in the Cook Inlet distric

northeasterly of Knik. The survey of the townsite of WrangelI was com pleted and the new townsite of An chorage was laid out. Additions to the townsite of Anchorage and Sew ard, the two water terminals of the railroad, are now under survey.
 Existing Surveys Sufficient.
 "No additional surveys in the Cop per river region will be necessary in the near future" the commissioner says. Personal inspection indicates Iconclusively that existing surveys are sufficient to meet all reasonable re- quirements of settlement in that dis trict for several years, nor is there any demand for an extension of the surveys in the vicinity of Fairbanks.
 "It is, however, highly desirable that land surveys precede the govern ment railroad in parts of the Susitna and Panama valleys. The railroad will open an immense area to agricul- tural and mineral development.
 Several hundred settlers have al ready gone upon the surveyed lands in the Cook Inlet district, where soil and climate conditions are especially favorable to agricultural and cattle raising industries. It is reliably re ported that similar climatic conditions obtain in many parts of the valley of the susitna and it's tributaries.
 "One of the principal factors, if not the chief factor. in the development of a new and practically little known country is the public land survey. Its very existence is an invitation and

\ SHIP BUILDING CO. ORGANIZED
 IN SEATTLE

SEATTLE, Jan. 7. - c. N. Skinner, of the Port Blakely mill, and 0. B. Lamont, former assistant to the pre- sident of the Seattle Construction and Drydock Company, have organized a new shipbulding concern to locate in this city. The new company Is said to have the backing of Charles E. Peabody, John T. Heffernan and Joshua Green. It is planned to build a plant as large, if not larger, than the Seattle Construction Company. and to enter into active competition with the latter company in the mat ter of ship building contracts. The recent sentiment of the community to the fact that a good deal of lucra- tive business is being lost Tn Seattle and the new concern hopes to remedy those conditions. The newly organ ized Anderson concern. which has just secured a contract for the con struction of a big steamer. has virtu- ally admitted that it is unable to se- cure the funds to go ahead with the enterprise, and the projected company will take over the contracts and as sets of the Anderson concern.

LONDON.

 Advantage In Surveys.
 "The advantage to the government and to the settler of the establishment of surveys on the ground prior to set tlcment are obvious. Existing sur veys with those to be completed this fall embrace all desirable agricultural lands in the immediate Cook Inlet district. They should, however, be extended next season westward to the Susitna and mp it's valley along the line Of Ioratiop of the railroad.
 While the Panama valley, on ac- count of its remoteness at present from markets and the consequent greater cost of development. Is not being settled upon to any large ex- tent, it is unquestionably destined to become, with the advent of cheaper transportation facilities, one of the great grain producing valleys of the country, and it would be highly desir- able to extend next summer public land surveys northerly from the Ne mana coal fields along the line of To- cation of the railroad to the Tanana river and thence along the river, ex. banding the surveys each subsequent season as settlement may warrant.
 "It also seems probable that the general land office will be called upor next season to survey other town sites and reservations along the line of the government railroad, and 1T

BERLIN, Jan. ', - Eraulein Hues- gen and Frau Ahrend, the two Chris tian Scientists recently sentenced to prison for being responsible for the death of two Berlin actresses, have appealed from the judgment of the trial court. Local legal authorities, however, predict certain affirma- tion of the judgment, passing their view on opinions already handed down by the imperial supreme court in similar cases. In each of these the court held that the assumption of the treatment of the patient and the failure to call in physician consti- tutes gross negligence.

When shadows shoulder slow
Through meadows full of dewy musk
And swallows winging low,
Far-off and faint we mark his feet,
And hear his lifting cry

The Stuff I bought of him
May keep its lovely lustre bright
Though all the world grow dim;
That when my spirit turns to face
The great reality,
Still may catch, by Gods good
grace,
That clear call in life's marketplace,
"Ho, dreams! Ho, dreams! Who'll
buy?"
