But unless the people make known their wants how is it to be ex- pected the department shall guess that we are no. perfectly satisfied? Tbs post office department IS a very blg institu tiou aud very busy. Many complaints are being filed and demands made upon 1t. The department is Of course Occu- pied with those who are clamorIng at it's doors.

ALASKA CRIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
 OF HER RESOURSES

"The fourth judicial district bill will no. be reported this session, but the coal lands bill is not hopeless" says to- days dispatches. We'll, hope springs eternal they say. Mr. Garfield is oi the belief that the coal should be kept Iu the ground until it is more valuable. Tha, sounds very like the arguments Of the coal baron. The way to make coal va!uable-that is dear-is to keep it out of the market. It the coal has sufficient value now to warrant Mir. Guggenhe.m or anybody else iu building a several million dollar railroad to reach it, it ought to be enough.
 If the people who come her to develop the resources of nature in this wilder ness are to be consulted at all they would say. simply, "giye us a chance" !" while at the same time placing around these resources what restrictions are necessary 10 prevent them being apprO- pria.ed and held out of use by corpor> atious. For corporations may make a bluff at development only to secure title, which gives them the right to hold them ou, more persisteutly than is uow the case.
 Tuis is oi course a danger which the goveruusn, s.es. Alaska aud the Psci- fc coast and the world wants these coal measures developed. But it does not follow that because a corporation says i, is eager to deyelOpe them that 1t means 1t. The thing moss often heard about the great copper deposits owned by the Guggeuheims on the chiJina Is, that there will not be any,hiug more done over there than a make believe development as the price Of copper must be maintained. To other words that they sill be held until copper is more valuable, AS Mir. Garfield says, Within reason this is all right, of course, SO long us the freedom of the situation permits the law Of supply aud demand to work automatically, as 1t will if un- hindered. Alas<a wants her resources deyeloped-locked up by neither the government or corporations, and this is the problem before it.

on the books of the local assessors

colleagues yesterday afternoon also
