BAlLAINE SAYS GOVERNMENT

| Washington, Jan. PA new SEN
sational factor appeared suddenly
today to add intensity to the already
sufficiently excited situation over the
Alaska coal land on the eve of the
beginning of the Ballinger-Pinchot
investigation, which largely concerns
that question.
John E. Ballaine of Seattle, said
to be the largest individual property
owner in Alaska, made a proposition
in writing to the senate committee
on territories of which Senator Bev-
! eridge of Indiana is chairman, Offer
ing to the government a royalty of
fifty cents ton of coal mined, for
the lease of five thousand acres of
some of the choicest coal lands in
Alaska, in the Katalla and Matanus-
ka districts. Such tonnage royalty
would net to the government, Mr.
Ballaine claims, amounts as high as
81 ,000,0 600 per hundred acres.
This proposal contemplates a rad
ical departure from past practices
in the governments disposal of Alas
coal lands, and it comes avowedly
to do battle with another PROPOSE
ton, embodied in bill which has
been prepared, but not yet introduce
ed, designed to permit the sale or
lease of such lands at the rate of
SO an acre. 1t is said that teh gen.
eral features Of the plan have the
approval of officials high in the ad-
ministration and of influential men,
bers of both houses of congress, in
Guiding some of prominent insurgent
republicans and Delegate Wicker
sham of Alaska.
Mr.. Ballaine offers to enter into a.
bond of 81 100000 with The govern
ment for the performance of his
part of the agreement which he pro-
poses, and he makes the charge that
"Other interests" have not at work
in Washington logby, Headed by
a former United States senator" in
support of the bill referred to above.
under whose provisions, he declares
the government would extend an un-
conditional guarantee to a railroad
or railroads which these interests
purpose to build in Alaska, and
would virtually donate to them at
$40 an acre. It is said that the gen.

Washington, Jan. 25.-1n spite OF
the greatly Increased use OF the

hicle has been unable to depress
either in numbers or value it's rival
the American horse. With automo
biles coming into common use, the
price of horses, according to state
ment today by the crop reporting
board of the department OF agricul-
ture, rose from an average Of $95. .64
apiece in 1908 to $108.19 a head in
1909. '~' - -">' '".- ~~''~
In numbers the horses of the Unit
ed States increased from 20,64O,OOO
to 21 100000. u .n
Incidentally the report which gives
the number and value of farm AMI
mails in United States on January
l, 1910, sdiscloses the fact that high
price of beef is in the smallest de-
gree due to q decrease in the num-
Der of range cattle. Only a slight
falling off In range cattle Is shown
from the figures of previous year,
while there has been an increase in
the number of horses, mules, milch
cows and sheep. Hogs, however,
have lost in numerical strength.
/ The number of horses; was, 1,04O,-
900 at $10S.19 a head with a total
value of $2,276,363,O 900 as compared
with the previous year, when the
number was 20,640,000, the average

London, Jan. 25.-Five hundred
and ffty-nine members of the new
parliament have been elected.
They are distributed as follows:
Unionists, 23S.
Liberals, 213.
Laborites, 36.
Natipnahsts, u.
The. announcement Of !, Unionist
gains continue with unbroken regu.
larity. Out of thirty-three results
declared during the course Of today
they had nine gains, of which one was
in Scotland, and one in ireland.
Against these the Liberals were only
able TO get two gains in Scotland,
The elections will continue through
out the week, but the chances Of the
Untonists obtaining. a majority Or of
the liberals securing enough seatsto
render them Independent Of the La
borites and Nationalists, have now
disappeared and it becomes a most
interesting question as to how the
Liberal government is going to meet
the task before it.
The air is full of suggestions of
compromise, but nothing is likely to
be decided until the prime minister
calls a meeting Of the cabinet next
week for a preliminary discussion of
the terms Of the royal speech for the
opening Of the new parliament.
Various measures are expected to
be promised in the Kings speech in
Guiding Welsh Dis-establishment, un-
employment insurance, as recently de-
tailed by Winston Churchill, and the
veto of the house of Lords. The veto
question will be the first to be taken
up, after the address in reply to the
Kings speech is disposed of.
According to rumor from re-
liable source tonight. Premier AS
quit(h's present idea is only to pro-
pose that the house OF Lords be de-
prived OF the power of vetoing finan-
cial bills, but it is practically certain
that such a restricted measure will
not satisfy the Nationalists to say
nothing Of the radicals, and unless the
government proposes to limit the
Lords veto on all legislation it is
exceedingly likely that there will be
a split in the Liberals ranks.

go ahead. The opinion was divided

zone thing about McGraw makes
him a little different from other man
ayers. He has got to be boss of his
club. He tells you what to do and If
you only try to follow orders you are
all right II Ty Cobb was working for
McGraw and pulled off something
that Mac had not ordered he would
get a calldown.
HE takes the position that he
knows more than anybody else on
his club and he takes the responsible
ity II the ordered play falls through.
And I want to say this, that there is
not a player in the country who
wouldn't like to work under McGraw
simply because he does take all the
responsibility.

another flag and IL the club gives him
money he is likely to cop some valu-

Mayor Nelson $. Pratt says this il
a special communication to the coun
Gil, recommending that the city raisl
the wage of laborers from $2.75 to 8;
day and that of the teamsters from
$3.50 to Sc day. He shows also il
compilation of reports, submitted t,
the council. that since 1906 the in
crease in the average price in America
of 96 staple commodities. including
all necessary foods, amounts to g.
per cent, while in the same length o
time the average increase in wages
determined by investigation of NOR,
than 1000 Industrial establishments
is only about 6 per cent. He adds:
"On an occasion such as this, wher
beyond all question the competitive
wage is insufficient to furnish to thu
laborer an income with which 1,
maintain his family in a proper stand
ard of living, it is fortunate thins
for the city that the competitive wag'
is not the more important factor il
the question.
"a municipality does not use its Ia
bor for the production of commodi
ties which sell in a competitive mar
ket There is no competitor to 'driv'
the city out of the field unless its la

competitive price. Hence, economic
conditions do not require this, but
instead, permits it to pay fair livint
wage to its laborers. And in prop

no question that this Is the part o
wisdom"

the Chicago singer, today is carrying
with him a pair of lungs and a throat
that belong to the Bennett Medical
College.
Morphy has completed arrange
ments whereby his vocal apparatus
and bellows will go to the college
after his death. Interest of medical
men in the organs of the singer was
aroused by the fact that Morphy cured
himself of tuberculosis by outdoor
singing, after the doctors had given
up his case as hopeless.
Morphy was paid a goodly sum by
the college and was assured that his
body, minus lungs and throat, would
be returned in good condition to his
