Some of the walks in Wrangell are menace to public safety, 6 positive nuisance in case of fire, end burning shame and disgrace to the town. Those who went to the fire last Friday morning eaw a sample of the walks that follow the side streets and alleys of the town. Many of these walks have never been repaired since being built, and have been allowed to rot and break down in a shameful manner It is to be hoped that the council will require these walks replaced with new ones just ss soon as streets are determined by the townsite survey. It would, how ever, be cheaper fol the people who own property reached by such old walks to build new ones before being forced to than to hove their property destroyed by ira. And it would be an absolute impossibility for the fremen to take the big ex- tinguishers over some of the walks in their present condition.

 which is easiest reached via Wran- gell. If you, resident of another section, who reads this, are in any wise interested in a glorious and
 healthful climate, mining, hunting, fishing, prospecting, numbering or trapping, or if you wish to learn of the most magnificent scenery that the Master Hand ever produced, or how or how much it costs to get to it, you may be accommodated by simply dropping a postal to the secretary of the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce, requesting him to mail you copy of the prospectus.

While reading the many accounts concerning the receptions given to the men of the battleship fleet at coast points, did you ever think how a like number of our soldiers would have been received? The sailors were feted and wined and dined by all grades and classes of people, from the brothels of the under world to the gilded homes of high society; but if the same nun Der of soldiers had travelled around "the horn" and landed in the coast cities, their only reception would have been additions to the police forces of the several cities. The facts simply demonstrate the pop ular craving for new and novel things.

COAL TRUST AT WORK

Katalla Herald; "It if reported on what seems to be good authority that the real reason for the attitude of the government with reference to coal land legislation, and the issuance of patents to coal lands in Alaska, that have been located and improved. is due to the mach nations of the coal interests of the western states. If this be true the government must be unwittingly playing into the hands of the vest ern coal land monopolists. At any rate there seem to be some power ful influences at work in opposition 10 the development of Alaska coal lands, and the government might proftably devote some of the time of its scores of agents in the west who are busy smelling ont alleged land frauds and digging up evil dence to fit prejudiced cases, to make an investigation of the coal trust in relation to the coal fields pf the west.
 It is fact that not a single pat ent to an Alaskan coal claim has pre. tevr, iss,.ea. Tho claimants have complied with every known requirement of the general land office and the interior department, have rendered the money in pay ment for the land, and yet the patents are held up without any reason, valid or otherwise, being given.
 The prosperity of this section is largely bound up with the develop ment of its coal deposits; the peo- pie of the Pacific coast need the coal of which we have abundance of the best qualities. The sugges- tion that vast reservations have been made in Alaska and in several of the western states, for the pur- pose of protecting the coal supply against grasping monopolies, fails to take account of the fact that the policy of withholding these lands from public entry and develop ment is the best possible means of aiding coal monopolies, just as the withdrawal of large timber areas has augmented the value of timber lands owned by the timber over lords.
 The governments policy in this respect is shortsighted. It is pre- venting the bona fde development of the coal mines of Alaska, and incidentally, the other mining in- dustries of the coast and the inter- for country.

THEY CANNOT CROSS SWALLOWS

BALTIMORE September IA special
to the News from Berlin, Nd. says:
The arrival of Capt. Howard, COM
1nander of the state oyster navy. means
that the first decisive blow at the men
who have been taking oysters illegally
will be struck this afternoon or tonight.
Those best informed as to the situation
declare that no resistance is likely to be
offered to the oyster police, despite the
fact that many of the oystermen are in
an ugly mood. What Capt. Howard S
policy will be in dealing with the law
breakers is not known here If he fol-
lows the advice of States Attorney john
son he will make several arrests of ring
leaders in an organized descent upon the
oyster rocks.
Unless arrests are made Mr.. Johnson
believes the oyster men will withdraw
from the bay until Capt. Howard and his
men leave and then will make a concerted
rush back to the rocks.
Others share the same opinion, and oys-
termen have said openly that this will
probably be their policy.
Fewer boats put out today, due to the
spreading of the news that Capt Howard
and his force We're on the ground.
The action of the authorities is taken
because Of the persistent violations of the
law prohibiting the taking of oysters In
Sinepuxent bay under two and one-half
inches in length.
