ALASKAN LANDS
ARE UNENTERED
COMMISSIONER SAYS NO AP
PLICATIONS PASSED
CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS MAY BE
INSTITUTED
General Land Office Recommends
Prosecution in Cases Where
Fraud Is Alleged to Have
Been Practiced
[Associated FressJ
WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.—According
: to a statement issued today by Com
missioner Dennett of the. general land
office, none of 'the applications to enter
Alaska coal lands hare passed to entry.
It also is shown that in the Alaska coal
: cases preliminary adverse reports have
been received covering about 700 en
tries.
The Cunningham group of thirty
three entries, on which payment was
made in 1906 and 1907. and which will
cut an Important figure In the Ballin
ger-Flnchot inquiry, are now in hear
ing upon adverse reports of special
agents.
Filial reports bays !>-cn received upon
300 entries, on a large number of which
the general land office has recommend
ed criminal proceedings. Adverse pro
ceedings to cancel entries have been di
rected upon most of the entries finally
reported upon by agents.
In the United States at largo final ad
verse reports from agents have been
received in the. last twelve months on
t tases involving more than 150,000 acres
of land within the United States. Much
of this is coal land.
It appears from this report that in
the last eight years coal lands within
the United States have been obtained
by fraud to the extent of more than
50,000 acres. These entries usually cover
the best of the coal and are today es
timated as being worth $10,000,000.
It is declared that if mined on a roy
alty sufficiently low to enable Indepen
dent operators to compete with exist
ing coal combinations, returns to the
government would reach more than
000,000. All of these patents are
from five to eight years old.
Indications are that the fiscal year
ending June, 1910, will show 50,000 acres
of patented land recorded and that
cash collections will approximate the
$1,000,000 appropriation for the work.
Reports Involving more than $3,000.
--000 in timber trespass also have been
made In the year. Suits have been filed
In most of these cases.
In the six months ended January 1,
$247,521 was collected on account of
public land cases, and In the fiscal
year 1908-09, $403,440. Collections for
the preceding four years were less than
$500,000.

"Oleomargarine is the poor man's

ship to Every Department and
Branch of Service
WASHINGTON, Jin. St.— "The time
will come when railroad employ for
every man In the service will nol mean
drudgery, nor sinecure, nor accidental
opportunity, i>\u an sjillghtenecl, stim
ulating, highly efficient service of high
est earning power, leaal uncertainty
from accidental causes, largest freedom
for Individual Initiative, entire self
respect and thoroughly democratic
spirit."
With this prediction .T. Shirley Eaton,
former statistician of the Lehlgh \ al
ley railroad, soncludea s lengthy mon
ograph for the United States bureau
lucatlon on "Education for Effl
j in Railroad Service," which
Commmlsloner Elmer B. Brown has
submitted to the aecretarj of the ia
tei lor.
In his letter of transmlttal Commia
sloner Brown says the subject of edu
catlonal preparation for definite occu
pations in life, anil particularly tor the
several trades, is under serious con
sideration in the United Btates. The
relation of trade education to general
education is one of the Important as
p. eta of that question. This relati hi
was summed up by President Nicholas
Murray Butler of Columbia university
in savins: "What science and praotl
Cal life alike need is nut narrow men.
but broad men sharpened to the point."
Surprising Advance Made
"The advonce made in the present
decade in the subject of education for
railroad service is very surprising to
those who may not be Informed," says
Mr. Baton. "Ideas of practical men
on the subject are now less Indefinite
and conflicting. The relation between
education and efficiency in railroad
service is coming to be generally con
ceded. The large educational value of
the railroad service Itself Is being
turned to systematic practical account,
find the value of educational agencies
in pn paring for specific industrial ef
ficiency is better understood.
"The railroad service in the united
Btates will shortly reach a total of
2,000,1)00 men. It is the largest and
mopt highly organised example of us
soclate effort, in an epoch conspicuous
lor industrial and commercial concen
tration. Eduratlon in a broad sense
must always ho a large factor.
"In the course of railroad develop
ment there was a first era. which was
the era of railroad building. There
was next an era of co-ordination or
the railroad service, and finance to the
commercial and financial conditions as
a whole with which the railroads were
called on to deal.
Era of Adjustment
"Next came the era of Internal ad
justment on the physical and mechan
ical side—perfection of the machinery,
cutting down grades, strengthening
bridges, Increasing the train unit. And
now has come the era of sociological
adjustment. The human part of the
machine is quite as vital as the steel
and wooden part in producing effi
ciency and so in increasing the in
come.
"The most practical and efficient
railroad manager today is now siiuare
ly 'up against' the problem, which he
is attacking in one form or another,
of education of himself, his staff, the
individuals in the rank and file and
the rank and file as a whole. It im
plies, for instance, an eager, resource
ful, self-respecting Individualism
throughout the working force, co-or
dinated with a keen appreciation of
the social charaoter of the work,
which expresses itself in a loyalty, not
to a person or a local group, but to
the income account of. the railroad.
These income accounts, showing
steady, healthy grovth over several
: i, become at the same time the
terms of largest service to the commu
nity, the stockholder and the individ
ual employe."
Draws Conclusions
"Railroad financial managements
should incorporate an educational
scheme as a degnlte part of their pol
icy. Such policies should be inaugu
rated fur periods of not less than live
years, preferably ten, otherwise the
money appropriated will be largely
wasted," Mr. Eaton writes in con
clusion.
"Railroads should extend the prin
c I plea of detinite apprenticeship to
every department of the service, and
should provide for two or mure grades
Of apprentices in order to take acco.unt
of differences in capacity and work
done elsewhere, either in property ac
credited schools or by experience, and
leading to different grades of service.
"In executing the policy of educa
tion announced by the directors, there
should )><: a superintendent of educa
tion reporting directly to a higher of
ficial, such superintendent to he thor
oughly Informed of the educational
policy" uf the railroad and the broad
considerations on which it rests. His
department should systematically re
cruit the employes throughout the
service and certify, on request, to their
records and general efficiency in the
early stages of promotion.
"Efficiency should be recognized by
an efficiency wage, stated distinctly
apart from the seniority wage.
"Employes should be encouraged to
take outside courses of instruction or
experience without forfeiting their
tenure, and, so far as possible, the
educational department should .sys
tematically turn to account every out
side educational agency by suggesting
courses, uniting in co-operative
courses and recognizing the work done
in those courses, to the end that the
ory and practice be Joined."

NEW COMET PLACED
IN CLASSIFIED LIST
-PHOTOGRAPHIC OBSERVATIONS
ARE MADE
Celestial Body First Noticed by South
African Scientist Appears
to Observers in
Arizona
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Jan. 23.—The
luminous body now plainly visible to
observers in various parts of the coun
try is a new comet. It is known as
"comet A of 1910," and photographic
observations made of it by the scien
tists of Lowell observatory shows that
its light differs from that of most com
ets, though it closely resembles the
Kivat comet of 1882.
The new celestial body was reported
by Dr. R. T. A. Inness, of the observ
atory at Johannesburg, South Africa,
on January 16. His name was given to
it. but as the same comet Is said to
have been observed in Orange Free
State prior to that date, scientists here
prefer to call it "comet A."
The newcomer has excited great in
terest among: astronomers, who are
making close observations, but it has
net yet been determined whether the
oomet will appear again.
An analysis of the photographic ob
servations made; here shows that tiie
new body differs greatly from comets
in general. The usual comet spectrum
consists of very bright series of hydro
carbon bands, but the comet now vis
ible shows very light hydrocarbon
bands, with a pair of intensely bright
sodium lines. The striking orange
color of the comet head, observed in
