PREDICT COAL WILL BE MINED

Seward, April 20.-According to word received in this city two Al 1 aska Coal mines at least will be adding fuel to the worlds supply during 1918. The mines now being extended by the government in the Matanuska district during the cominV summer will, it is expected, not only produce coal sufficient for the use of the rail road, but will become a shipper to other sections of Alaska and even to the states.
 It is also expected that one or more miAes will be operating in the Chicaloon district, where the government work is under the di- rection of Summer E. Smith, an en- gineer of the bureau of mines. The Moose creek mine in the same dis trict IS producing fifty tons per d7y and further development work is under way by the government Both of the above predictions may come true.
 The Ealalla Anthracite Coal Com oany has apened a mine in the Der ing river fields, and has reached stage where shipments of 200 Ions Q day can be made as Soon as the lGilrod from the mines to ridewatrr is completed. The rail road, which is twenty miles long, is nearly completed, as are the docks and bunkers located on Con troller Lay. The coal, which has been tested by the government, has been tAclared to be equal to that of the Pennsylvania fields.
 Every effort will be put forth by the gov ernnlAnt and private own CTS of coal mines already opened up to produce tonnage as rapidly as possible to relieve any coal shortage that ay occur on the Pacific coast during the war.

Is Enjoying Army Life

In letter received this week from
Lieut.. Arthur Woodman he says that
he is still unassigned to any organ
ization but is making the best use
of his time by learning all he can
about company administration, etc.
He expects to find out within the
next few days just what his work
will be. He is now located at Ameri-
can Lake, Wash, and his address is
166 Depot Brigade, Officers School,
Camp Lewis. He also told about the
weather there, which he says is
somewhat different from what he
was used to in Minnesota. They are
getting more rain than anything
else and the temperature If from 80
to SO above. Everything is green and
he had the novel experience of pick,
ing rosebuds from bush in the yard
of friend during the month of De-
cember.
He told of having met Clarence
McConville and of the fine visit they
had together. He says that Clar-
ence never looked better in his life

Well-Known Attorney Dead

T. L. McElligott, a well-known at
torney in this part of the state, died
at Mineral Wells, Texas, Wednesday
of last week. Mr.. McElligot had had
an attack Of Bright's disease which
kept him in serious condition since
the first of September, and he left
his home at Appleton about the mid
die of December and went to Mineral
Wells in the hope or building UP his
condition.
The news Of his death is a distinct
shock to his relatives and friends as
he had written a few days before to
say that he was feeling fine and GET
ting better. Death was probably due
to complication of heart trouble
brought about by his recent illness.
Mr.. McElligott's death removes a
man recognized as one of the best
lawyers of the state, and one of APP
pleton's best citizens man who
had the absolute confidence of all of
those who knew him best, and a man
who had been identified with every
worthy movement for public good
that has arisen, during his residence
in this part of the state.

MEANS SAVING ON COAL
New Order Will mean Inconvenience.
But Everybody Anxious to
Help

Supt. G. B. Kidder of the Otter
Tail Power Company, was in Morris
this week to confer with city officials
in regard to shutting off the power
from IL in the evening to in the
morning. He was ordered to shut
off the power during these hours by
the Commission of Public Safety In
order to make saving in coal, and
he put off the date of the change as
long as he could. He explained that
the closing down would not mean
much of saving in fuel and it will
be an inconvenience to the people OF
Morris, but he must abide by the
rules of the commission and when he
left he said he would notify the local
plant when to put the order into ef-
feet.
Manager Baker of the local plant
called Mr.. Kidder by phone We'd
nesday and he received instructions
to begin Saturday night to observe
the new rules. That means that af-
ter tonight the lights and power will
be off from eleven each evening un-
til six each morning and people
should make arrangements for some
other form of lighting if they are up
during these hours.
This order will affect the city Of
Morris in more ways than one, but
everybody is glad to do anything
they can to save on the coal supply
and assist the Safety Commission in
it's work.

WEATHER LAST MONTH
WAS VERY CHANGEABLE
Local Weather Observer, S. Siverts
Jr., Makes Report for Decem-
ber

According to the weather report
handed to us by s. Siverts, Jr., Lo-
cal Weather Observer, December had
all kinds of weather and was very
changeable. The mean maximum
was IA degrees above while the mean
minimum was. 4 degrees below. The
maximum temperature was reached
on the 10th when the therometer
went to so above and the minimum
on the 18th when it was 81 below,
making range of 3S degrees in six
days. The greatest daily range was
on the 27, when the therometer
changed 43 degrees in twenty-four
hours.
The total amount of snowfall was
seven inches. There were IL clear
days during the month, 9 partly
cloudy days and 10 cloudy days.

NEXT DRAFT CALL WILL
BE MADE in FEBRUARY
Shortage of Guns and Clothing Will
Probably Keep Men at Home
Until Then

The next draft call will be delayed
until February at least-possibly
longer. This was the word from Sec
retary of War Baker. received recent
ly. The statement followed an
indication of such delay in Provost
Marshal General Crowder's recent re-
port that the next call might be de-
layed until enough men to fill it were
placed in Class !, under the new draft
regulations.
Men certified under the first draft
but not yet sent to Camp Dodge will
be affected by the order These men
must, however, be ready to go any
time the war department may call
for them.
Lack of guns and clothing, re-
vealed in recent war department in
vestigations at Washington, is cause
of the delay. The time required to
classify registrants after return of
the questionaires is also an import
ant factor.
The general staff has recommend
ed the second call to be for $4,000
men. With the $4,000 in the first
draft, thousands of whom are yet to
be called to the colors, this would
give the national army strength of
100000 men and give the nation a
total military strength of 1000, 900
men, with the national guard and
regular army added.

LOCAL COAL DEALERS
NOT AFFECTED BY ORDER
Morris Fuel Dealers Not Guilty of
Charging More Than Fixed
Price

Some time ago an order sent ou
from the Minnesota Fuel Director
commanding scores of retail Goa
dealers thru-out the state to refund
over-charges made since November
1st, 1917. Refunds were ordered II
some cases UP to nearly So ton.
At the time this order was given
the daily papers listed the towns
where over-charges had been made
Morris was named as one of the
towns but an inquiry among the local
firms shows that they have kept
within the schedule of coal prices
fixed by the federal coal administra-
ton and no orders have been received
by them to make refunds.
The coal situation remains about
the same thruout the state, with
small supplies going to all towns,
but no town receiving any large
amounts. AS far as Stevens county
is concerned no one here is suffering
for fuel, according to DR.. Geenty,
chairman of the Stevens County Fuel
Administration. None Of the towns
have very big supply but enough is
on hand for present needs and 1t is
being given out in small lots to all
who call for it.
Certain rules have been laid down
to all retail dealers for selling coal.
They are not allowed to sell anthra-
cite coal to any who can use soft
coal. No hard coal, except egg, is be
be sold for use in cook stoves, ranges
or heating plants. No anthracite is
to be sold to anyone having a months
supply on hand. No coal is to be
sold to any who have access to wood
and people living in the country can
only buy coal at the town where they
have formerly obtained their supply.

CHRISTMAS BOX WAS
tGREATLY APPRECIATED
So Writes Harry DeLashmutt in Let
ter Received Last Week by Mrs.
Bailey

Friends in Morris of Harry De-
Lashmutt will read with interest the
following letter written recently to
Mrs. J. w. Bailey. Mr.. DeLashmutt is
now in the aviation service and is
located at Austin, Texas. He says:
want to thank you thru the Stu
dents Club of Morris, my apprecia-
tion Of the Christmas gift that / re-
ceived few days ago.
Today is Sunday and is the first
! opportunity have had of writing to
you and telling how much I appre-
ciated every article and how useful
every one is. (I even use the chew
ing tobacco sometimes.)
The women in Morris are most as
suredly doing their "bit" It seems
they are almost doing too much. re-
member very well how they worked
last summer and fall for the Red
Cross and Y. M. G. A. the Norris
men should be and are glad to do
their part, knowing what the women
are doing. They would be put to
shame if they did less.
should like to tell you what an
interesting school we have here, but
we have been requested by the gov
ernment not to give out any informa-
ton. But it is the hardest work I
have ever experinced. The physical
work is hard but the mental work
calls for the ultimate in concentra-
tion memory and reasoning. I have
Yio in, 60
am hoping against hope that I con-
tinue to pass. Every week great
numbers funk and are sent home.
The school is a ground school, con-
sidered the most efficient in the
world. (No, this is not an exagger-
ated assertion.) Only the theory of
wireless, machine guns, aeroplanes,
engines, photography are taught
here. I was not quite correct when
l said theory for we have guns and
aeroplanes to work with but there is
no flying done here.
= From here a graduate goes to a
flying school. There are four in this
state.
= / should mention the splendid
weather of the South. For few days
a "norther" (the tail end of Mime
sofa snow stormy reached us and
the weather was more disagreeable
to me than the 40 degrees below
weather last winter at Morris. ut
seemed so at least.)
Today the newsboys are barefoot
ed. Our windows in the barracks are
wide open and am reminded of May
weather in Morris.
Christmas is different in the south
More firecrackers are exploded here
by the youngsters than at Fourth of
July. The reason I do not know.
There are many interesting features
about the south for me-the ever
green oaks-the mistletoe. 1t is a
parasite and grows on all Of the trees
here. The cotton fields, the oil fields,
soft accent of the native born south
erners. The southern courtesy holds
true to it's tabled reputation. Every
one in Austin are as anxious as can
be to make things as homelike as
possible. Christmas Eve big dance
and musical is to be given in the
State Capitol.
By the way the State Capitol is an
enormous building-built Of Red
Texas granite. An old building orr
ginally erected by an English syndi-
cate who were paid by the state with
100000 acres of western Texas
land at valuation of 81 per acre.

right now.
