Rural Credit Plan
Is Before Congress
Legislation P ropos e S
$6O,OOO,OOO for Relief
of Farmers.

WASHINGTON-The admins
tration's program for rural credits
legislation has been definitely out
lined with the introduction in
both house and senate OF an
amended credits bill, with new fea-
lures which were declared to have
the support Of Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace and officials OF the
treasury department and the fed
eral farm loan board.
Introduced by Senator Lenroot
of Wisconsin and Representative
Anderson of Minnesota, author
and chairman, respectively, of the
Congressional Agriculture COM
mission, the bill would utilize the
existing Federal Farm Loan sys-
tenn as a basis by creating within
it a farm credits department thru
which potential credit facilities
would be provided for farmers
short and long term loans to the
extent of at least $6O,O0O,0OO.

Applications for Patents
Shatter all Records
In 1922.

WASHINGTON-The business of
the patent office reached extraordinary
proportions for the year ending June
80, 1922. In 1920, the total number of
applications jumped from 1861 to
102,o40. 1t was then believed that
high-water mark had been reached, as
nothing comparable to those figures
had ever before been attained in the
history of the office In 1921, the
number rose to l07,O56, aad in the
year just closed, to the whelming
total of 1852. Although congress
recently gave relief to the patent Of
fee by increasing the number of tech
nical employees, this increase was bas-
ed up on the requirements Of 1918,
since then the business of the office
has grown from so per cent to $50
per cent in various branches. This
shows clearly beyond peradventure
that the business now presented to
the patent office is in excess of what
the present force can dispose of ade-
quately and efficiently. The work of
the office has fallen so considerably
in arrears, due to the exceptional vol
ume Of work presented, that it will
take 100 more employees to bring it up
to date
Up to three years ago, the office
received about 5000 trademark ap-
plications a year. In the year just
closed over $1,000 trademark appli-
cations were received. The industries
and foreign commerce of this country
are adversely affected by the congest
ion in the patent office, and although
the output is increasing all the time
no adequate remedy for the situation
exists except thru an adequate increas'
in the number of employees. The casl
receipts of the office during the yea
totaled $2,So4,28658, and the total ex
penses, after paying $4,000 as bon
us, left net surplus of $l72,O81.2l.

the secretary of interior finds that in
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1922,
there was produced from government
lands other than Indian lands 1885,
362 barrels of petroleum, of which the
federal government received as roy
atty 3,616,852 barrels, worth $,4,768,-
3o7.6l, not including bonuses. In ad-
dition, at the end of the year, $14,-
900 a month was being received by
the government from natural gas
leases on public lands in Wyoming
In the Rocky Mountain field alone
there were on government land 1886
oil wells, of which 267 were in the
Salt creek, Wyoming field. A hun
dred other wells were being drilled
Up to the end of the year there had
been issued 2o4 oil and gas leases in
four states and 7,727 prospecting per

WASHINGTON-The report of
Commissioner Charles H. Burke for
the last fiscal year gives special en-
phasis to the educational side of In
dian affairs and discloses many en-
couraging facts, but also certain con-
ditions in the southwest that call for
betterment Following drive for
larger attendance, the government
boarding schools were filled consid-
erably beyond their capacity lastayear
and the number of Indian children en-
rolled in the public schools was great
ly increased. The school attendance
for the year was 5000 more than ever
before, due largely to new system
of field supervision in which seven
supervisors were continuously on duty
in as many districts of the Indian
country covering every question OF
educational management and extern
sion and creating sentiment for pub
lie school attendance. The govern
ment is rapidly increasing its tuition
contracts with local school boards for
the enrolment of Indian children.
The report of the commissioner says
that operations in oil have been slim
ulated thruout the productive areas
of Indian country, due largely to the
advance in market price from 81 tc
81 per barrel. Promising development
has been made in the Shoshone reser

FEDERAL HELpFULNESS

Tn a letter written recently, in which reference is made to the de- velopment of the coal industry in Alaska, Governor Bone is quoted as saying that "a disposition will be shown of helpfulness towards pri- vate enterprises"
 Helpfulness toward private enter prises, in the opinion of The News, is what is needed in Alaska more than the sweeping aside Of all re- st-ictions under which Alaska is now i2 process of development. The News Is q believer in conseva- ton to the extent of preventing ruthless exploitation of the resourc- es of the Territory. The News be- heves that the Government should continue to exercise control over the coal and oil lands and the na- tional forests. for the lasting bene- fit of Alaska and the nation general ly. But there should 5e encourage ment given to those who are under taking development work under the somewhat exacting conditions i'm posed and Alaskans will be glad to hear from Governor Bone that it ss the intention of tke administration to show a disposition of helpfulness
 Of particular interest to Nenana and the Interior country generally, is this statement of the governors, for t may mean that the Govern ment will be willing to lend a help ing hand to the development of the Nenana coal field. which is being conducted at present under condi- tions that are not very satisfactory. And under which the rapid develop ment of tonnage for the Alaska Railroad is not possible.
 Close 10 the railroad are some of the greatest coal deposits in the country-so great that the pOssibil ities Of development are beyond conception. And yet that develop ment is being retarded, very mater tally retarded because of the diff culty of getting the coal from ths mines to the railroad.

 In other words. The News believes there is ample coal in sight in the Nenana field to warrant the Gov ernment in extending its tracks so that coal may be loaded on to the cars at the mine. 4 spur is needed two miles or more n length to tap the fields now being developed by the Healy River Coal Corpora tIon-where there Is enough coal in plain view, in enormous seams. to supply heavy tonnage for the Alaska Railroad for the next hun dred years.

 The News is particularly interest cd in the development of the near by field on a large scale for the reason that 1t would then be poss- ible to supply adjacent mining dis trict5 with fuel so low in cost as to insure the opening up of the large areas of low grade gravel which cannot be mined under existing conditions. The introduction of coal already has stimulated the mining industry in Interior Alaska; the further lowering Of the the cost of fuel would result almost immediate ly in widespread activity.
