THE INSURGENT MOVEMENT.
"But, sir, the American people to
day are awakening to the (act that
they havo been tricked and cheated til
their birthright and that the promises
oX the Republican party of this
country are but as broken reeds and
smoking flax; aud, today, sir, they
are turning their faces in hopefullne.-j
aud glad acclaim to the great Middle
West, where a small cloud has arisen,
not larger than a man's hand, but
which is gathering in strength and
volume led on by the Insurgent forces
of the Republican party in this body,
that assures, sir. the downfall aud de
struction of the Bourbon element,
that old domiuant party planted by
Hamilton, in which there yet reposes
the spirit of kiugs aud the belief that
oue crowd was created to be ridden,
booted and spurred by their masters,
and that when they call for bread
they should be given a stone, and
when their children cry for fish they
should be handed a serpent. These
Insurgents, sir, catching the spirit of
Democracy, aud catching the spirit
of the eternal brotherhood of man.
have before them great possibilities,
and iu their ultimate success and
helpfuluess to the people depends
much for the future happiness of this
Republic." ? (Extracts from speech

"Oh come". I said, to the Printer
Man. who edits the Weekly Swish,
"a rest will do you a lot of good ?

you'll wait a while," said the Printer
Man, "I'll toodle along. I think; but
first I must write up some local dope,
and open a can of ink, and carry in
coal for the office stove, and mix up
a lot of pa^te, and clean the grease
from the printing press with a bushel
of cotton waste, and set up an ad for
the auctioneer, and throw in a lot of
type, and hunt up a plumber and hav

I wait till your chore list fails, the
winnows that frolic along the creek
will all be as large as whales."
? Walt Mason,
Be sure when you break one klol
you do not replace it with another
when you quit the use of tobacco or
liquor did you do so because the ha
bit was not best for you. or because
It saved you money, or won the good
opinion of some one else, or that you
might boast your superior strength
over other men? If so what have you
gained morally in the exchange of
Idols? ? Exchange.
If men only knew that under the
depressing influence of fear. Jealousy
and selfishness, the amount of air
consumed in a given time is lessened
from 25 to 50 per cent., while under
the exhilarating effects of hope aspir

piration is Increased correspondingly,
they would know wha thought to

COIIL IN ALASKA
Geological Survey's Report of 1908
Production.
The coal production of Alaska t'or
1908, as reported to the United States
Geological Survey, was 3,107 tons,
with a value of $14,810, as compared
with 10,139 tons in 1907, valued at
$53,000. Four mines were operated
in 1907, but only three were product
ive in 1908. Of these, one was at
Port Graham, Kenai Peninsula (Ig
nite) ; one at Chignik. Alaska Penins
ula (bituminous); and one at Chicago
Creek, Seward Peninsula (lignite).
In addition to the output of these
mines, a fwe tons of coal were mined
for domestic use at Tyonek. at sever
al points on the Yukon, at Cape Lis
burne, and at Walnwright inlet in
northern Alaska, where the Eskimos
are utilizing a liguitic coal for fuel in
place of the fast-disappearing drift
wood.
Estimates of Coal Reserves.
Even where a coal field has been
both developed and surveyed in detail
there is a very large amount of un
certainty In all tonnage estimates.
Moreover, the Behring and Matanus
ka fields, which contain the most val
uable coals of the Territory, are reg
ions of great structural complexity,
which introduces another factor of
error. In Alaska only between 300
and 400 square miles of coal-bearing
rocks have been surveyed in detail,
and the data in regard to the remain
ing 800 square miles believed to be
underlain by coal are very meager.
It is estimated that the unsurveyed
coal fields cover 12,000 square miles,
but of these fields only the general
outline is known, and they must be
surveyed to ascertain how much of
the area Is mderlain by workable
coal beds. It should be remembered
also, that more than one third of Al
aska is almost unexplored.
The facts clearly show that the
