HACK TO XATTRE

It U reported on good authority that

summer vacation In a somewhat se
cluded place, where they are putting
Into practice their "back to nature"
fad for health's sake with a veng
eance. They have not worn their
shoes or stockings since they first
struck their rendezvous and their feet
have become so calloused and scaly
that they now tramp It barefooted all
around camp without flinching for
sharp stones and ordinary Driers. One
of the Indies carried barrels of sand
from a bank In a sack on her shoul
ders and completely covered the floor
of their domicile and the nearby
Kround so as to make It easy on their
feet. They arc getting their health.
however, and as as tough and wiry
as they were In their girlhood days,
and their feet will be free from corns
and bunions for the next year and
their health better for It. While It
may not seem Just the thing among
the ladies, we have no doubt It would
do much to restore health If It were
practised more generally. Eugene

made in the Behrlng river and Mata
nuska coal fields, but the best In
formation available indicates that
these lands will yield between 10,000
and 100,000 tons to the acre. This
means that some of the lands will
yield only 10,000 tons of coal to the
acre; others may yteld as much as
100,000 tons. Multiplying this acre
tonnage by half a cent (the esti
mated value of the coal in the
ground) indicates that these lands
are worth from $50 to $500 an acre.
Such values are far above the aver
age of the bituminous coal lands In
the United States."
POINTS OUT INCREASE IX
SCHOOL INDEBTEDNESS
Olympla, Wash. Pointing out the
alarming Increase In school district
Indebtedness, and urging a general
effort to remove the growing Incu
bus, State Superintendent Henry B.
Dewey has addressed a circular let
ter to the county superintendents, giv
ing the figures of school indebtedness
throughout the state for each child
of school age. This has Increased
from $3.54 In 1890 to $33.88 In 1909,
Superintendent Dewey makes the
surprising statement that the districts
of the state are paying out more
money on the Interests of indebted
ness than the total Interests coming
In from the investment of the perma
nent school fund. The text of the
letter follows:
"At present 7 per cent of all the ex
penditures for school purposes are
for payment of interest. So far as
the schools are concerned, this mon
ey Is wasted. The net Indebtedness
(deducting cash on hand) per child
of school age increased from $3.54 In
1890 to $33.86 in 1909; between 1905
and 1909 the net indebtedness per
child of school age Increased $4.67. "
"Many districts are paying 8 per
cent on warrants. In many cases this
rate could be reduced to 6 per cent
and the warrants be floated without
discount.
"In districts having outstanding
bonds, urge the county commission
ers to establish a sinking fund, if pos-
ible, under the provisions of the code
of public instructions. Then keep
the sinking fund Invested in school
warrants.
"Note carefully the expenditures
for Incidental expenses of the dist
ricts. In 1909 the Items included
under this head (fuel, Interest, re
pairs, free text books, libraries, etc.)
required 32.3 per cent of the total ex
penditures for school purposes.
"I wish to call your attention
chiefly to the levy for the current
year. A large number of districts
have outstanding warrants. Unless
there is some reason for not doing
so, it seems to me that these districts
should Include in heir report to the
county commissioners an estimate for
payment of outstanding warrants."
Big Operations on Seward Peninsula,
Alaska, are Alter Rich Prize.
Placer mining on Seward Peninsu
la will receive an impetus this year
by the Installation of a number of
new dredges. There Is an abundance
of gold In Seward Peninsula. The
serious question has been how to mine
it at a profit. Most of the placer gold
in this part of Alaska Is In what Is
known as unconcentrated gravel.
There ase vast gravel deposits in the
various parts of the peninsula. All
of them are auriferous. The placer
gold deposits of Seward Peninsula
have been variously estimated from
$250,000,000 to $500,000,000. About
$55,000,000 has been mined and the
larger part of this has been taken
from concentrated placers. Some of
them are unusually rich, but the
greater part of the placer gold Is In
low-grade gravels, which must be
mined by dredging. Alaska-Yukon
Magazine.

ALASKA COAL WORTH HALF CT.
Alfred H. Brooks, of the Geological
Survey Gives Low Estimate of
Present Value.
An advanced summary of an Im
nortant article on Alaska coal by Al
frerf H. Brooks, of the Geological
Survey, Is published in this month's
Alaska-Yukon Magazine. Regarding
the value of the coal Mr. Brooks has
this to say.
"Those unfamiliar, with coal mln
inn find it hard to understand why
the value of a ton of coal In the
ground should be so very small a frac
tlon of Its market price to the con
sumer. They lose sigiu or me lacis
that the coal In the ground Is the
raw material which the miner by his
labor manufactures and the railway
company transports, and that, as i
rule, before the coal reaches the con
sumer several different individuals
or corporations must have made
profit out of It.
"The writer has roughly estimated
the accessible coal of the Bering and
Matanuska fields as having a value
of half a cent a ton In the ground
Exception has been taken to this val
uation, but chiefly on the part of those
who have given little consideration
to the matter and who think of the
value of the coal In terms of its re
tail price to the consumer. To these
persons a valuation of naif a cent
appears another way of expressing
the thought that these lands have no
value at all. This Is, however, far
from being the case, for half a cent
a ton Is higher than the value of
most of the eastern coal lands, In
spite of the fact that they are close
to the centers of population .and
hence to market. In fact, In some o
the well-developed eastern fields good
bituminous coal has recently sold for
as low as one-thirteenth of a cent
ton in the ground.
"If this ton value is transposed to
a basis of so much per acre, it will
admit more readily of comparisons,
