kITTELLE REPORT

' From it's investigation draws the following conclusions and indicates various lines of procedure that may be undertaken by the department in order to locate, mine, transport to seaboard and ship coal for the use of the navy, viz:
 That there is sufficient coal of a navy quality underlying the Chicka- loon region to warrant definite and active development.
 " That the whole Matanuska re- zion, beginning with the Chicka1oon secetion, should be thoroughly and scientifically investigated by a force of mining engineers and geologists by means of diamond drilling, shaft sink ing, tunnel and slope driving, to as- certain the quantity of navy coal present in the earth strata and to de- termine the best practical and econ omica1 mehod of mining coal.
The Cordova daily times., 1920-05-22
PRODUCTION RECOMMENDED

Organize an expedition with min ing engineers and geologists, together with all necessary apparatus and helpers, to thoroughly examine leas- ing units No. to 15, inclusive, and definitely determine what quantity of navy coal is present and how it lies relative to the surface. In the mean time these leases should be set aside fer the use of the navy department At present leasing Units Nos. 10 and II are held by the Chickaloon Coal Co, and leasing unit No. 12 by the Alaskan Engineering commission. It is believed that the ChickaIoon Coal Go, will be willing to part with it's lease for a consideration.
 Having determined the amount of navy coal present in leasing units Nos. i to IS, both inclusive proceed to mine the same, providing neces- sary equipment, labor and transpor- fation facilities to the railroad.

NEW REGULATIONS WILL

 The establishment of a park mail service has been announced; addi- tiOnal trails will be constructed: :: camps and hotels will be forbidden to serve park trout on dining tables, that fishing for the tourist may not suffer, and boys summer camp and school will be established. .-.
 Camp Roosevelt, at Tower falls, is to be devoted almost exclusively to long time visitors, and saddle horses and other special equipment will be made available.
 Until private automobile parties be. gan to invade the park in recent years, 95 per cent of all visitors at tempted to see it's natural wonders on limited tourist schedule, park off, cials declare, and it is this tendency that the new regulations are intended to discourage.

over negligible grades for the all year-round shipment of navy coal
 There is no doubt in the minds of Secretary Daniels and of the engi- neers and geologists of the interior department who are familiar with the coal already prospected in the Mat anuska field that it will meet the navy's requirements In fact, an &C., tual test was made some years ago on the Battleship Maryland, and the results were entirely satisfactory"

OUTLINE PLANS FOR OPENING
 COAL FIELDS

Commenting on the development of the Matanuska coal fields the Coal Age says:
 Secretary Daniels admits that some reports have reach, ed him to the effect that the cost of mining and transportation of coal from Matanuska for the Pacific fleet will be greater than the cost of the West Virginia coal brought through the Panama Canal to Pacific stations. He points out, however, that the re- port made to him by the engineers who have actually investigated the coal are quiet different The secre- tary calls particular attention to the conclusions of 8 commission headed by Captain KittelIe In it's report to Secretary Daniels the Kittelle con- mission said in part:

SYSTEM IN
READING

The man who works and lives
Systematically gets the most out of
life, no doubt about that. Nothing
humanity on its way as much as this
hing we call system And just as
system can be used to advantage in
most everything we do. so it can be
applied to newspaper reading.
The Winnemucca man who reads
his paper Systematically, page by
page, and who is not content to
merely glance at the headlines or
matter printed in bold-face type. gets
the most for his money he has In
vested in reading matter. Therefore,
read your paper with attention, think
ing as you read, and it will enable
you TO talk ably and c~onvincingly on
all important topics. The student of
the newspaper is an educated man
before he has studied long, for they
are a printed university and have far
broader and more comprehensive
courses than any college can possibly
have. Do not skip from page to page,
from column to column. so you may
CLEAN the news in a general way.
Read your newspaper thoroughly and
attentively. Read every article to
the end. That will consume but" little
time, and after a few weeks of such
reading you will be amazed at the
benefits you have derived.
No man, however rich, could af-
ford to search for himself the infor-
nation that the newspapers place be-
fore the eye. Business men depend
upon it. for they are more of a bust
ness necessity than the telephone or
telegraph. They are also a necessity
to you. whoever you may be. But I'M
less you read them through and know
what is in them you get only half the
value out of them that you would
otherwise gain.

The League of Nations is a failure
from top to bottom, and II took the
discerning brains of the Republican
members of the Senate to foresee its
uselessness.
In the face of this, Governor Cox
and his supporters have the temerity
to disparage those senator's and ask
the country TO indorse the league and

offense to the intelligence of Ameri-
