contained in another and similar bill
that likewise passed the senate in the
last congress. 1t extends to Alaska
the provisions of law now applicable
to the United States permitting entry
under the non-mineral land laws of
portions of the public domain that
have been withdrawn as containing
deposits of coal, phosphate, nitrate,
potash, oil, gas, or asphaltic minerals.
In the United States proper congress
has inaugurated a definite policy of
separate dipositions of surface hold
ings and mineral deposits beneath
them. No reason seems to exist why
a similar policy should not be extend
ed to Alaska, and the present measure
is put forward with that object in
view. The bill has the hearty ap-
prevail of the secretary of the inter
ior, and it's early enactment into law
is confidently predicted.

Knoxville, .Tenn.-Like towns built

Sixteen hundred houses will be COM

of lumber altogether will be used.
A total of 250,O00,O00 feet of lumber
was bought at a cost of approximately
$15O,O0O.
A temporary commissary building,
24O feet long by 60 wide, is also now
being erected. The permanent COM

QUELLS PANIC WITH PISTOLS
Captain of Ship Bombed by Zeppelin
Holds Control of Frightened
Crew.

Stockholm.-The Swedish steamer
Flandria was attacked by a Zeppelin
on it's latest trip homeward. The first
bomb which was dropped narrowly
missed the ship. The engines were
stopped and the crew ordered into the
boats. Four more bombs were dropped
dangerously neal the vessel. Before
all those on board had entered the
boats there was a panic, and the cap
tain had to use his revolver to enforce
discipline. The ships company, after
remaining for about two hours in the
boats, returned to their vessel. Sew
eral hours later another airship ap-
peared and lowered about for a time,
but departed without doing any harm.

WASHINGTON NOTES


WASHINGTON - Especial Cores
pondence)-A bill that will throw
open for homestead entry and make
more available the agricultural re-
that have been reserved for the coal,
oil, and gas deposits that they con-
tain was reported to the senate from
the public lands committee on the fin
al day of the last session by Senator
Reed Smoot of Utah, and will come
up for action when that body meets
after the fall recess. An identical bill
was approved by the senate in the
Gath congress-, but failed to become
a law. After full compliance with
the homestead laws the entryman is
to receive a patent for the reserved
ton to the United States of all coal,
oil, and gas that may be contained
in the lands, and the right to prospect
for, mine, and remove the same. The
is intended as an incentive
to the cultivation of the surface of the
reserved public domain in Alaska, and
to that extent increase the available
fod supply of the country. No opposi-
ton is anticipated to the early pass
age of the measure, as the senate has
heretofore registered approval of its
terms.

In his reply, Mr.. Wilcox, Republi-

MAKE DRAEMS COME TRUE
(By J.. II. ToulOuse)

Many a splendid dream has fallen
short of realization only through the
lack of good hard practical work on
the part of the dreamer. | believe
that no man accomplishes big things
without he is a man of big dreams,
and his dreams are practically worth
less unless he has the energy to put
them to practical use.
Take the dream age of most boys,
between twelve and eighteen, and If
his efforts can be so directed that he
will begin early to working for his
dreams, you will find that hat is the
boy who will work out big problems.
The foundation for a boys success
or failure is laid during the dream
period. and too often he is not given
the opportunity that his energy de-
mands. and he reaches the age of ma
turity with no fixed habit; no aim in
life; he has been denied the oppor-
tunity that a boys natural initiative
demands and many times he is re.
quired to start in with his life work
after he quits school hampered by the
loss Of the habit-fxing years which
his efforts should have been directed.
In this respect, the Industrial Clur
work, conducted by the State College
and the United States Department Of
Agriculture, cooperating, offers ar
opportunity in habit-fxing that vii
mean much to tho success Of any boy
when he leaves his school and start.
life for himself. This work is brough,
into his home without cost.
