UNCLE SAM'S MARINES.
A Fine Body of Fighter* end Always
Ready For Battle.
United States marines are always to
be found where trouble breaks out SI
the scene Is In reach of transports or
warships. They are quartered on every
first class ship of the navy, ready to go
ashou as Infantry, as heavy or light
artillery or In machine gun squads.
There is not and never was a better
body of fighting men ashore or afloat
than the American marines. Their tra
dition of efficiency and fearlessness Is
one of the finest Usually they go
against the enemy when heavily out
numbered and often are required to
hold their own In the midst of hostile
populations until bluejackets and the
army can be sent to back them up. It
is ouly natural that the most adventur
ous spirits from every quarter of tho
world, soldiers of fortune who want to
be always In u good fight, should have
been attracted to a force which offers
so many opportunities of the kind.
No compkny, no squad, of United
States marines has ever shown the
white feather. They are of the cream
of military nobility. On their caps
they wear a little metal globe and the
words "Semper Fldells"—t!iev go wher
ever the flag is carried, where trouble
is thickest, aud they are the ever faith
ful legion which never fails us.—Provi

COAXING THE SALMON.
Try Trout Fi*hing Tactics When You
Go Aftsr Thi« Came Fi»h.
When you are going to make a try
for salmon retneiafccr jour trout fish
ing. Keep low lu the grass anil bushes,
cast delicately over the entire pool, be
ginning at the tail, where the fish are
most apt to be In ordinary weather,
and. working up to the very head,
where they are often found after a
rise of water, projiel the By with the
variety of motion kuowu to every trout
fisher, and particularly try it at vari
ous depths.
I have often fouud that the only way
to start a salmou was to sink the fly
at least two feet and rely upon a tiny
spasmodic twitch now and then (as of
a drowning Insect) to do the trick.
This is often effective after a fish has
come up on.'e anil refuses to re|>eat the
experiment.
When a rise comes it will probably
lie a slow oiie. Do not move the fly at
all after the first sign. Strike lightly,
but firmly, 0:1 the tiist impact if the
line is short, and v.'.xri you have count
ed two or three after the rise if the
line Is long. Advi?e not to strike, if
applicable at all, |>ertains only to swift
water when fishing downstream. Un
der any other conditions failure to
strike is often suicidal.—Out ins.
What You Eat In Apples.
Do you know what yon arc eating
when you eat an apple? You are eat
ing malic acid, the property that makes
buttermilk so healthful. You are eat
ing gallic acid, one of tile most neces
sary elements in human economy. You
are eating sugar in the most assimila
ble fortu. combined carbon, hydrogen
and oxygen caught anil imprisoned
from the sunshine. You are eating al
bumen in its most available state. You
are eating a gum allied to the "fra
grant medicinal guuus of Araby." You
are eating phosphorus in the only form
iu which it is available us a source of
all brain and nerve energy. In addi
tion to all these, you are drinking the
purest water and eatiug the most
healthful and desirable fiber for the re
quired "roughness" in food elements.
Johnson and Seven.
President Johnson had seven letters
in his name. When he was fourteen,
twice seven, he became a tailor's ap
prentice, which h? remained for seven
rears. When he was twenty-one, three
times seven, he gave up tailoring.
When he was twenty eight, four times
seven, he became an alderman. At
thirty-five, five times seven, he entered
the legislature- In 1S42. six times sev
en, he was a member of congress. At
forty-nine, seven times seven, he was
a senator. On the 7th of March, 18G2,
he was military governor of Tennessee.
At fifty-six, eight times seven, he he
came vice president.
Russia's Resources.
Russia is a country of vast resources,
many of them undeveloped. They raise
great quantities of wheat, rye uud oats,
and hemp and flax are extensively cul
tivated. They raise a great amount of
live stock, while f lie Obdorski aud Ural
mountains contain very great mineral
riches, and Russia Is now the largest
producer of petroleum in the world.
There Is an inexhaustible amount of

ALASKA COAL 8E
LEASED B!
0.5. SOOH
Secretary Lane, of the Interior De
iDar'xnent, announced that the work
of surveying and dividing Into leas
ing units the mora accessible part,
of th« Nen*na coal field, Alaska, ha
been completed, and that as ®aon
as the data is printed the lands that
have been divided Into leasing
blocks will be offered for lease un
der thn provisions of the Alaska
coal-laud leasing la-w, act of October
20, 1914 (38 Stat., 741). An
nouncement of the offer for lease
Is r- mlsed in the near future.
The area to be offered comprises
Approximately 19,000 acreg pf land
d'vlded into 23 blocks or tracts,
racging from 160 to 1,664 acres,
each block being in such form as
is beli'-ved to permit the most econ
aroical mining. A lease under the
Ian- can not exceed 2,560 acres, and
may include one or more contigu
ous leasing blocks.
JLlUCaUUfl OI UU1U9
The lands to be offered for leasing
constitute the mora accessible aQjd
immediate minable part of the pur
veyed lands of the Nenana coal
field, and are in T. 11 S., Rs. 6, 6,
and 7. and T. 1*S., R. 7 W., Fair
banks meridian. They lie in the
railey of Lignite Creek, a tributary
of the Nenana River, extending up
tbe creek from ita mouth for about
12 miles. The mouth, of the creek
is oa the approved surveyed route
o' the Government railroad ( from
SnwaTd to Fairbanks, at a point
about 364 miles from the coastal
terminus at Seward and about 106
mileg from the inland terminus of
tb? railroad, at Fairbanks. While
it i® not possible to state when the
railroa^ between Fairbanks and
3ewai{l wiil be finished, it is be
lieved that the summer of 1918 will
see tbe portion of the road com
pleted from the coal fleldi to Tanana
Rivf-r, thus making this coal avaii
aN]« for barge shipment to Fair
banks and other river towns.
The geologists who have exam
ined this field: report that the coal
occurs in many beds of various
thicknesses up to 30 or 35 feet,
there being at least 12 beds of work,
atle thickness, of which) probably
at le?st 6 are over 20 feet thick,
The coal-bearing rocks are only
gontly folded and no intrusive rocks
are known to cut them.
The coal of this field is lignite of
fair grade. While it Is not suitable
f->r export, it wll furnish a valuable
and much-needed fuel iln.portions cfl
interior Alaska that are now de
pendent on a scanty and. expensive
supply of wood.
