MINING BUREAU EQUIPMENT IS
 ENLARGED

Enlargement of the personnel and equipment of the Bureau of Mines to facilitate coal mining operations and put into shape to combat possible min. ing disasters will take place during the present year, according to an nouncement made by B. D. Stewart Alaska Mining Supervisor for the Blu, reau. Some steps have already been taken to this end and others will fol low if the plans approved by Direc, tor H. C. Bain are put into effect. Tests of coal for relative heating value, etc, will be made in the flu ture by the Bureau of Mines force in the Territory In the past only the Alaskan Engineering Commission has made such tests in it's own laboratory and it's work has been confined largely to commission uses and to coals from the Matanuska field. Much of the commercial testing has been done at the Bureau of Mines laboratory at Pitsburg.
 "The Alaskan Engineering Commits sion has transferred Analyst Sharpe to the Bureau of Mines and it's labOra- tory equipment at Anchorage has been turned over to the Bureau" said MT. Stewart. In the future this service will be open to all private companies as well as to the Government, he added.
 A temporary mine rescue service has been provided by the Alaska Rail- road which has turned over mainte- nance of the way car to the Bureau. This is fitted up to meet emergency requirements and is kept standing on a switch in the Anchorage yards ready for instant use. Ten sets of oxygen breathing apparatus have been requis- itiOned and will be stored, at least for the present. in the apparatus room of the Commissions fire department at Anchorage. A crew from that depart ment will be trained in the use and care of the equipment and will be ready for service whenever and where needed at any point on the railroad. It is hoped, said MT. Stewart, that the Bureau will be able to provide a standard mine rescue car with com plete modern equipment some time during the present year.

PAY ALIMONY FIRST,
 THEN BUY TOBACCO

ATLANTA, Ga. Jan. 31.-"Where conflict arises between a mans ob- ligation to his wife and children and the use of tobacco, the latter must yield to the former"
 So the reader will see that Rud- yard Kipling might have been wrong at that, in the light of an opinion handed down by the Georgian Su- preme Court.
 This ruling was made in the case of Nan Smith versus Horace Smith, appealed from the courts of White field, where the presiding judge grant ed the wife alimony in the amount of $2O per month.
 Smith appealed and introduced tes timony to the effect that he made but $54 per month and that after paying the almony and other expenses the appellant would not have money enough left to buy tobacco.
 "We can only hope that by increas- ing ais earnings or by decrease in the cost Of living the appellant will not be deprived of his tobacco,' the opinion concluded

TELLS EASTERN FRIENDS ALL
 ABOUT ALASKA
{Grand Rapids, Mich, Press.)

Alaska is not primarily place of ice and snow. Alaska is good place to live" said M. J. Van Dyke, 3S, of Cordova, Alaska, Press news boy of 23 years ago, who is in Grand Rapids for a short visit with his father-in-law, John DeMan, 21 Diamond Ave-, s. E.
 Alaska is coming country MT. Van Dyke said. "It is a young mans country-a red bloods country like the Dakotas were 50 years ago. It is a pioneer country and pro- ductive one.
 eve don't live like barbariains, either Our homes are modern and in Cordova, which is pioneer town, we have running water, telephone service, electrict light, modern movie, a newspaper with daily wire service and shops which compare favorably with those of Grand Rapids.
 "It is estimated there are @ mil lion acres of land now suitable for farming in Alaska and most of this may be had by hOmesteading, that is, by moving in and going to work.
 we raise excellent Siberian wheat as well as quantities of barley and rye. Root vegetables such as pota- toes, rutabagas, turnips and beets, and many kinds of berries are raised with much success. The 90-day growing season is found plenty long enough and farmers fast are growing prosperous.
 "The coming industry in Alaska, however. is the word pulp industr". Alaska has millions of acres of variety of spruce too poor for lumber, but excellent for making paper. Re fOrestration is not a serious problem either for this variety comes to ma turity in about 30 years.
 Mining except on a large scale no longer is profitable in Alaska, but numbering in the southeast portion fishing of course, and fox farming offer large possibilities.
 "What we A1askans from the states want is more Americans and fewer foreigners in our country. Alaska is a United States territory of great productive wealth-wealth a large Dart of which is being taken advant- age of by foreigners.
 Another thing we are fighting against is the tendency of those who enrich themselves in Alaskan soil to take their earnings to the states to spend Tn this way thou sands of dollars are taken from the Territory each year and there is nothing or practically nothing to show for it. There is an annual exodus when winter threatens and an incom- ing in the spring. We are trying in every way possible to bring in permanent, 12-months-in-the-yea set tiers.
 Alaska is not unpleasant in win ter. It grows no colders on the coast than it does in Grand Rapids, nor is there more snow. In the Interior the winters are cold, but they are dry and clear and easy to stand. In winter we skate and ski a great deal. In summer boating, perhaps, is the sport most indulged in. Every one has a boat of some sort"
