power.
“First. He may will to develops his
j !:y cal being and gratify to the limit
his physical appetites and desires.
This is a very limited and selfish u
of will power.
“Second, Ho may give up something
of his will for self and will to stand or
fall with his own class, but ber.- rrc
finds that he comes in contact wftn
other class wills and trouble aris» in
out domestic industries.
“Third, He enlarges his will aro :
includes his country. Out of tl U kirt.* '
of will power comes patriotism.
* Fourth, Out of the Great War
there sprang up in the minds of mm v
a will wide enough to include tl «•
whole world of men. wom*‘n and child

a league of nations that will prever t
wars and cause differences of o > nuvi i

“Fifth. The most far reaching nr ',
highest power that the will of man ,
may attain is to know and do the wi
of God. and manifest it by dea’m ;
justly and mercifully with all ma
kind that all nations may combine
will the common good of all people .

INCREASED OUTPUT
OF ALASKA COAl
The production of coal in Ala
I in 191S was 75,606 tons, valued a>
! $411,850, according to the U. S
! Geological Survey, Department o
I the Interior. This may be com pan <
; with 53,955 tons, valued at $265;”.',
in 1917. The production for 1918 wa.
by far the largest in the history (
! coal mining in Alaska, being 40 o*
.cent larger than the output for 1917
* which was also greater than that oi
| any previous year. It is believed that
a substantial coal-mining indu.s
try has at last started in Alaska,
the larger part of the output in 19’*
came from the Matanuska field
which yielded 63,092 tons. The re
mainder came from eight or ten mini
in different parts of the territory.
All these mines except those in th
Matanuska and Bering River riebu
and at Port Graham, produced cor
for local use under froe-use permit
About 12 mines were operated, en
ploying 239 men for an average
) period of 254 days.
In the Matanuska fields the Eskr
Creek mines were operat'd regular
!y throughout the year by the A
aska Engineering Commission, t
supply fuel for the railroad and otte*
Government use. At the Chickaloo
mini', also operated by the Alask.
Engineering Commission, the wor
has consisted primarily of explor:
I tion. and development, and only .
small amount of coal, incidenta1
!y, has been produced. In 1918 for th
first time Matanuska coal was ship
ped beyond Anchorage, Private opm ~
tions preparatory to mining "err
continued by two lessess in the Mai
anuska field, and some coal wa
mined by one of them, but the.
minus arc not yet regularly prouuc*
