HUGH ©. TODD, Seattle, Wash. Editor Star: Please find my name on your petition. Nine years ago I located five claims of coal in ter, and took 200 pounds to San Francisco. It tested 14 per |cent carbon, so that’s good enough for anybedy. I don’t know if any one has ever been on thd property since or not, but I don't think so, J. H. FREDERICKS, Conerete, Wash, Editor Star: Inclosed find a elip- ping of your Seattle Star, contain- ing that petition of yours to be ent to President Taft and congress about government-owned Alaska coal. It is my personal belief, and also the belief of the signers, that }if the gor owns its own Alaska reso . especially coal, that “strikes” and other “Iabor troubles” will be effectually stop- ped. Also, we belleve that private corporations will not be able to grab these resources. I believe that | Bellingham would also be a good \place for goveramentowned coal bunkers, as well as those places named, since it has a good harbor, I suggest that its name ve included in the petition.

An Irishman was once serving In a regiment in India. Not Iking the climate, Pat tried to evolve a trick by which he could get home. Accordingly he went to the doctor and told bim his eyesight was bad. The doctor looked at him for a while and then said: “How can you prove to me that your eyesight is bad?” Pat looked about the room and at last sald; “Well, doctor, you see that nail on the wallt” ” replied’ the doctor Well, then,” replied Pat, “I can’t."—-Chicago Tribune, BOTH UNCERTAIN, “1 understand Clara was! reared tm luxury.” that bad “Hello, Bosh!
