A Vein That Was Discovered
More Than a Quarter of
Century Ago.

Excellent Coking
Coal.

Messrs. Aaron Chandler, Tilton,
Stocker, Frye Il Co. have u force of
men developing IA promising coal
discovery ON upper Kettle river
near the mouth of Rock creek.
Twenty-slx years ago, James Nc
Connell, now of Grand Prairie, B.
g., while prospecting for placers,
found this bed Of coal. He covered
II up and patiently awaited the
time when a railway was possl-
billty.
After the lapse Of n quarter of q
century, with hopes that his ex-
pectations might soon be realized,
he associated himself with the gem
tlemen named and they commenced
the work of development
Samples recently brought from
the mines were tested and found to
contain 81 per cent. of fixed carbon
and made an excellent quality of
coke.
This coal field IL about 200 miles
from Spokane Falls, In northwest

General John q. Fremont In Comfort

WAsuisoToS, May i0.-When General
John q. Fremont was Lieutenant IN
the army in 1916 In California, his ac-
counts with the government were left In
such state that he has always been re-
garded as an official debtor to the GOV
ernment to the amount of 1890, and IL
has been one of the chief SORROWS OF
Frcmonts Later years that he was unable
to square this balance against him. The
other day Fremont called 1T the oiiica
OF the second comptroller of tho treasury
and said that his financial circumstances
were such that his salary as retired
major general being retained to meet
this alleged shortage, he would be for
some time.in actual want.
At his request, the comptroller inyes-
tlgated this accounts and discovered
thar instead of General Fremont being
debtor, the government has actually
owed him for over forty years S21, 600.
The records arc perfectly clear, and IL
was proved beyond dispute that through.
q mistake in bookkeeping, Lieutenant
Fremont had been charged with an
amount, the voucher for which was on
file.
When General Fremont called again
10 ask whether some arrangements
might be made to pay his supposed in
debtedness, he was 30 unprepared for
the glad news awaiting him that he
tainted. Yesterday warrant for the
amount due him was made out and duly

TIIE HOMIE PR HSS.
THE ALASKAN CAPITAL.


Seattle Journal' There is now a bill
before congress which. among other
things, provides that the land laws of
the country shall be extended to Alaska
and the capital shall be changed from
Sltka to Juneau. There can be no 1ues.
ion about the advisabiity of the first
provision, but criticism will be very
ready as to the second. The subject is
one In which the people Of this section
have no little interest, when the rap
Idly growing trade of the Puget
sound region with Alaska is
taken into consideration. Sitka
possesses government buildings
which were erected by the Russian
government and which came, of course
to this country by virtue Of the purchase
Of this territory. These buildings are
comfortable, and in every respect answer
he purpose for which they are intended.
The town, besides, has certain amount
OF historical interest which does not at.
tach to any other town in Alaska. II
has for years been the one distinctive
Alaskan feature which had anything
like general recognition, and should
the capital be taken from Il the
necessity would arise for getting ac-
quanted with the territory again, so to
speak. Then, too, IL Juneau should be
made the capital government buildings
would have TO be erected at n great cost.
There are, It will be seen, both senti-
mental and practical reasons why no
change should be made. These ques-
tions, however. should be settled by the
people themselves, and for this and
other emergencies Alaska should be
represented In the national congress.
We believe the bill now under consider.
alton does not provide fora delegate. but
IL would seem to be the part OF wisdom
to incorporate that feature in II.
