ALASKA COAL IS
CHEAPER THAN
VIRGINIA PRODUCT
(By United Press Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Ad-
miral George Dewey, president Of
the general board of the navy. has
sent a report to Secretary Meyer in
which he says that Alaskan coal
can be obtained for Pacific ocean
vessels much below the cost of Vir-
ginia coal.
Admiral Dewey points out that 1t
cost $3.50 per ton to transport Vir-
ginia coal to the Pacific coast and
an additional $275 per ton to Man
lila and Yokohama Furthermore in
case of war in Pacific waters it
would be advantageous to the gov
eminent to have a large supply of
coal at an Alaskan port, says the
report.

A SURPRISE At
THE 0RPHEUM
BY B. n. S.

When a pretty girl came sailing
out from the darkened stage in an
airship and glided. with twinkling
lights, over the heads of the audi
ence. the people at the Orpheum
yesterday really were taken by sur
prise. And surprise-in other words,
novelty-is one of the chief things
which make vaudeville a success.
The girl who does this stunt is
Annabelle Whitford, who also gives
lifelife portrayal of the "Brinkley
Charmer" and other famous Amer
lean girl types. AS one irreverent
youth remarked, "She is all to the
candy'--and no praise could be
more sincerely given than that was.
While the Five Olympiers were
not quite as good as an act of SINH
lar nature given early in the season,
their series OF classical poses was
very good and pleasing.
Frank White and Lew Simons are
\ couple of satisfactory blackface
artists, and the latter's plea for
something to make him bulge" at
the waistline was very funny. Also
the ghost scene" brought tears of
laughter to eyes.
Their Daddy is a playlet partic-
ularly well given by the children In
1t, but there Is a trifle too much OF
the melodrama about the piece.
There is a good juggling act, the
soriginal flying Dutchman," with
excellent rope work. and good act
called Scenes Behind the Scenes"

MILLION ACRES
RESTORED TO ENTRY

WASHINGTON, May 30.-It is
estimated that more than a million
acres of land have been restored to
entry from the forest reserves of
the Pinchot regime since Secretary
of the Interior Ballinger inaugur-
ated his ideas OF conservation and
made them effective.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
who is endeavoring to check Amer
lean emigration into Canada is
working with Ballinger on the con-
servation problem. Wilson believes
that the reservations will have .
marked effect in holding settlers.
The following reservations were
announced today:
Pocatellos Idaho, 22.326 acres;
San Isabel. Colo. 1000,65; Wsllowa,
Oregon, 1856.

HOOD HAS
LEFT CITY

n. w. Hood, ex-policemen,
implicated in the Elliott case,
has left Spokane. His star was
taken up about two weeks ago,
and he then started a petition
along East sprague avenue to
have il returned.
Now Hood has disappeared,
and it is reported that he has
left the city. A member Of the
police force to whom Hood
talked few days ago said that
he advised Hood to make him
self scarce around the city, for
fear one of the bricks flying
might land on him next and
asdIy handicap his sprinting
facilities. 1t is believed that
Hood took this timely tip.

JOB" CRIES
CHARTER MEN
THINK THE CITY OFFICIALS
ARE GOING TO BALL UP"
CHARTER ELECTION.

They're going to job u.s." cried a
member of the charter election
committee today, in abiding to the
attitude of some officials at the
city hall. The member of the com
mittee had just talked with City
Clerk Fleming, who had reported
that out of - names on the petit
ton that had been canvassed only
10 were registered and entitled to
sign the petition, according to
Clerk Fleming. The member of the
charter committee saw in this an
ominous sign of what is to follow.
City Clerk Fleming informed the
charter committee member that in
his opinion voter had to be regis
tered before he is entitled to sign
the petition. The committee holds
differently, and there is bound to
be clash over this point.

FAlRMONT, w. Va, May 30
The oldest surviving veteran of the
civil war will march in the Mem
orial day procession of old soldiers
to the little country graveyard
near Fairmont and place upon the
flag marfJd mounds his offering
of remembrance the wreath of liv-
ing flowers. This Oldest hoy in
blue in Benjamin Gill and he is
now in his one hundred and third
year.
Though "granddad" Gill, as he is
called by every child who knows
him, attended school but three days
in all the century and two years
he has lived, he can tell the best
camp stories the boys of this cOun-
try ever heard, and he used to
make Memorial day speeches that
brought tears to the eyes of his
fellow veterans.
For 80 years he has lived on a
farm in Marion county and since
the first Memorial day has never
failed to march in the ranks of
the soldier boys upon that day
He has looked forward toward the
today with the certain knowledge
that few Memorial days will be al
lowed him.
Gill was born in Virginia, April
-, 1908, and was just tOddline
| about when his father went to fight
in the war of 1872. 1t was the re
membrance of his father returning
| from that war, marching jauntill
| back from a victorious battle, thai
inspired the soldier idea i'll the
| young lads brain. There it lay un
satisfied until after he had passet
