COAL FIELDS OPENED
Uncle Sans Railroad in Alaska
Causes Development.
Many Mines Already Put in Commits
sion and Supply Of Fuel Made
Available at Low Prices.

The railroad which Uncle Sam Is
building in Alaska has already result
ed in the opening of several new coal
mines, making available large fuel
supplies at low prices, it is announced.
1t has also resulted in the springing up
of several good-sized towns where a
few years ago there was nothing but
small villages or the wilderness.
Since congress authorized cOnstruc-
ton Of this railroad. March II, 1914.
remarkable progress has been made.
Much of the road has been cleared
and graded, and regular service estab-
liShed from Seward. on Resurrection
bay, to Kern creek, on Turnagain
Arm. From the thriving town Of An
chorage as far as the MatanuSka coal
fields, where large forces of miners
are at work, trains run regularly.
Seward in 1914 was an untidy town
of 700 or 500 inhabitants. Today its
1000 permanent residents point with
pride to concrete business blocks. com
Portable residences and extensive pub
lie utilities.
Anchorage in 1914 was an uninhab-
tied wilderness. Today 5000 people
make 1t their home, and its future is
full of promise. 1t is the nearest tide
water railroad point for the distribu-
ton of coal mined in the interior, and
ships of any size can be accommodated
in its harbors.
The mines that are served by these
towns and by the railroad are practi-
cally inexhaustible, and their product
is Of very high order. Secretary Lane
of the interior department has an
nOunced that coal mining has been
started on commercial scale in these
mines, and large amount has been
contracted for by the Alaska Engineer
ing commission, in charge of the
government railroad.
Matanuska coal tested recently by
the navy department was found equal
TO the better grades mined in the
Pennsylvania and West Virginia BIZ
luminous fields. The first mine opened
in this district, known as the "Doherty
mine," is at Moose creek, a point of
the Matanuska branch line, so miles
distant by rail from Anchorage.
A 150-foot shaft sunk there has
exposed vein Of unusually fine coal,
and 60 tons are turned out every "a
hours, even under the present limited
conditions.
This Doherty mine is operated under
q special permit issued by Secretary
Lane, primarily for the purpose Of OBJ
tainilg coal needed as fuel for loco
motives, steam shovels and other en-
gines used in connection with the gov
eminent work.
Before the opening of this mine, the
commission had been importing such
coal as they could get from Puget
sound at cost of from SIC to SIS per
ton delivered at Anchorage. Matan-
uska coal now sells at $S per ton.

Palisade Boy Writes
OF Fort Myer Duties,
Sore Arms Common,

In a recent letter from Ft. Myer,
Paul Berkey describes the work at
the training camp as hard but very
thorough and extremely interesting.
He says:
"The men are required to be in
company formation at 5.35 a. m.
Studies till 9.45 a. m. Five hours of
drill and any extra time spent in
position, sighting and signalling ex-
ercises. In a recent signalling ex-
animation they were required to re-
ceive sixty letters per minute.
"The men are now being vaccinated
and innoculated to guard against ty-
phoid fever and, as a result, sore
arms are common.
"The majority of the men are from
twenty-five to forty years of age and
from all professions. In hunks ad-
joining PauPs are several college
students, clergyman, a lawyer, a
judge and an artillery officer.
"The officer commanding the pla-
toon to which Paul is assigned, has
been commissioned major and has
seen service on the French front
since 1914. With experienced in
structors of this type the schooling
of the officers in methods of modern
warfare will be thorough and up to
date.

Palisade Endeauor
Society Picnic In
Nature Wonderland

The Palisade Church Christian
Endeavor Society enjoyed the first
picnic of the year on last Saturday.
Under charge of Mrs. Ernest Sibley
and Miss Raeder, who has been lead
ing the society since January, the
party left the village about eleven
a. m. and went by Public Service
trolley to Coytesville, walking the en-
tire distance from there, over three
miles, to the picnic grounds, almost
at the end of the finished portion Of
the Henry Hudson Boulevard. The
spot selected was down at the very
waters edge where there is a nice
beach fit for bathing in summer.
Above the party rose the majestic
Palisades over 1000 feet high at this
point, and where the scenery almost
battles description in it's rustic
grandeur. The foliage, young and
beautiful in it's spring freshness was
an absolute inspiration, and in the
woods along the roadway below the
cliffs was perfect riot of the most
marvellous and profuse display of
dogwood trees in fullest blossom.
People think they have seen dog
wood trees in bloom, but these Henry
Hudson driveway dogwoods are be-
wildering revelation, and fairly over
came one with the marvel of their
snow white beauty. They really make
that section literal land of enchant-
ment. There is nothing like it amid
all of the many scenic charms near
New York.
The Endeavor party returned late
in the afternoon, somewhat tired, of
course, but mentally invigorated with
the intoxication of this natures
wonderland, where the splendor of
Of her creations has conspired to
give the human heart so much to
wonder at and love.
Mrs. Reynolds drove her mother
and Mrs. Frew out to see the children
and this paradise of scenery in the
afternoon.
