The rain and snow of Wednesday
night betoken the approach of winter
and remind our farmers that the days
for cleaning the crops are few. The
farmers have had a very satisfactory
yield this year and it is great pity
that all of their products could not
have been safely gathered. In some
sections the frost has damaged cons
siderable percentage of the potatoes
and it is feared that many ofat6
apples will yet be "nipped" before ut
can be gathered and safely stored

dred men sat at table in the academy
of music and one Thousand men were
at communion the next morning. Rev.

Ten Billions In Coal.

The Nenana coal fields, Alaska, will
be tributary to the government rail-
road now under construction from
Seward to Fairbanks. Though the coal
In this field is Ignite, and hence of
low grade, yet 1t has great value as q
source of fuel and power for Fairbanks
and other Yukon placer camps. The
field is about sixty miles south of
Fairbanks. 1t is estimated by the
United States geological survey, de-
partment of the Interior that the Ne
mana field contains some ten billion
tons of Ignite. The Nenana coal field
lies in what is known as the Bonni-
field region, which also contains some
gold placers that have been mined in
small way for the last ten years.
This district is described in a report
entitled 1.-THE Bonnitield Region, Alas
la" (bulletin 501), which can be OBJ
.sined on application to the director of
the geological survey, Washington.
