UNLUCKY ALASKA COAL

Coal development in Alaska seems to have been born under all mluclIy star. Whenever the men interested kick off one incubus another fastcns itself upon them, and now to add to the burden of government hundicaps rival claimants threaten to open up d scrap over the ownership of the Mat the nightmare of suspicion that dis turbs the sleep of the Roosevelt ad- ministration when Alaska coal land is mentioned in the purlieus of the national capital.
 Ever since the president first heard of coal in Alaska he has been emitting comments like Sir Boyle O'Roche's famous assault upon a suspected graft "I smell a rat. l see him float ing through the air; but mark me, l shall yet nip him in the bud.'
 A legal contest over the ownership of the Matanuska coal lands will in tcnsify the horrible suspicion that somebody has been trying to steal anu '"it away tii 'h' 'o"i III Nia9h' before the government can turn around. The imbccilc htatutcs gov crning the acquisition of coal lands hay" mad" it almost impossible for men to obtain title when seeking to buy and develop Alaska deposits in good faith. Slowly and in spite of the most haras1ing interference from the federal administration some pur- chascrS have reached or approXi- mated the final receipt stag" with a chance Of getting patents. A row | over the Matamu3ia ownership may start d general investigation which everything for several years.

FRAMING UP EXCUSES

Probably the editor of the Cordova Alaskan could frame" logical statement in support of good cause but he never does it in defense of n bad one. He couples the statement of the PrOspector that CordOva is peo- pied from other Alaska towns with the charge that bunch.of illegal votes were cast there in the delegate election and calls it knocking the town.
 The Prospcctor has never knocked Cordova as atOwn and never will, and does not in the least envy it's pros perity. It hopes that COrdova and bigger every year.
 The ProspcctOr never charged that citizens of COrluVa cost illegal votes at the recent election but what 1t does explicitly charge is this
 That several hundred pick and shov- el men who had not been in Alaska ninety days-at least on their pres ent tour-Vot"d for tOrsom with the knowledge on the part rf everybody who took notice, including tn" judges of election, several railroad officials who were roofing around tn" polls, and the editor of the Alaskan, that they were mere iluat"rS who might have been in Alaska several times but have no fixed habitatiun any where and had not been in Alaska half the required tim" since they came up last. Some of thCN" rail road labOrcrs were doubtless lcEul voters but the great majority were not. Nearly all came from outside since last ''GNcmb"r.
 But don't take it so ,c.iDusly, dear Cordova, because tn" rest of the ter ritory doesn't care now. Alaska is SO much bigger than CuIdoNa.

VALDEZ PROMOTER
 IN NEW YORK JAIL

Frank C. Helm, at one time well known in Valdez and who is well if not favorably remembered by the older residents of the town is in scri- ous trouble. Helm, about five years ago, came to Valdez as railroad pro- moter. He succeeded in raising in the cast several hundred thousand of dollars, the greater part of which he NquandCrcd.
 Helms scheme was to start a town at what is known as IIazclctvillc and from there to build railroad into the interior. He was among the first promoters to settle upon Valdez as a base of operations, and for d time was responsible for much excitement and the elevation of many hopes but he finally went the way of others who have followed in his path.
 Helms latest escapade seems to be the wind-up of q different method of possessing himself of easy money. Here is what the New York Evening World of July 1 says about the af- fair:
 "Michael Jacobs, who says he is a lawyer, and Frank C. Helm, for whom the police have been searching in connection with the operations of the Barry y-Shippey-lIosicr note swindling gang, were arraigned today in the Centre Street Police Court. Detcc- lives McConviIlc and Nclson appear. ing against them.
 Edgar P. IIOllngshcad, bookkccp- or and confidential clerk for the Blue Ridge Enamel Brick Company, of Newark, says he met Jacobs in the office of Rodman & Company, deal CTS in investment securities, at Fifth Avenue and Thirty-ninth street, and supposed he was in authority there.
 Jacobs told Hollingshcad he had q principal with $20O,0O0, who would lend the brick concern $l8G, ,0OO and take as security promissory notes az grcgating $200,O 830 shares of the Prudential Insurance Company of America and 800 shares of the Trust company or luanO.
 '"Thero was delivered in the pres enco of MT. Hollingsh cad by w. w. Blanchard, general manager in tbe Cambridge Building, Thirty-third street and Fifth Avenue, q prommis- sory note of the brick company for 5000, payable in four months, and indorscd by Theodore c. F. Blanch- ard and Frederick c. Blanchard. At tached was q "eceipt in which 1t was conditioned that the note was not to be used except under agreement of even date and then to bo returned on demand.
 "Hollingshoad ayers he saw Jacobs sign tho receipt "Iionry Y. Rodman & Co.,, per. M. J." The brick com pany's confidential man has also boon informed that Jacobs gave tho note to Helm, who got ". Y. Van Brunt, of So. 12O Broadway, to discount it. Jacobs says Helm stole the note from his office. The detectives say that Jacobs is tho founder of the note' swindling industry"
