appreciabe extent into their scheme for dsposng of Alaska coal Especially is it true that deposits known and un- known n widely separated districts of the interior left out of the calculation.
 Oil and fuel gas with coal in what United States officials term the Alaska coal problem The exist o gas ard oil in the interior yet problematcal but men ot wide experience scientific knowledge and at ainments that place them safely in the intelligent class believe that deep borngs would disclose both these res to modern progress at points along the Yukon and tributary valleys. It is already we'll known that coal exists many places between the coast and arctic ranges and it IS equally true that the coal would be beneficial to people of the inland pat of the territory. Oil gas boh would change the whole industrial aspect interior Alaska if found and utilized by the people of the country
 It does not necessarily follow that is uninell gent because he believes these would be sought found and their astened under the right of private exploitation, and that they would remain unsought un- found, and their be delayed indefinitely if sociazed whether the government should retain the right expota ton in its hands stand ready to delegate that right by lease to companies individuals.
 It is true that and newspapers even ill the nte- rior themselves favoraby to perpetual ownership of the territory It is also too true that temporary advantage, personal spte and political affiliations often influence the representations made fed era officials But the inference Secretary Fisher seems to draw from what has been said to him is illogical
 From present indications the Alaska coal question will be settled this winter and private ownership will perna nenty eliminated from the 'probem." Knowing these ngs likely to happen the Pioneer frankly questions
 they will be best for the territory the people of the United States who Jealous ill guarding their rights in this undeveoped country. Whether this intelligent view or not only the future prove.

TRAMP COMET
 SEEN OUTSIDE

People who have been favored by q sight of the comet discovered by Jim Brown on the morning of October I9 will be slow to classify it as a tramp. It may be a periodical comet which had already been seen and named, how ever; in which case Brown will not be entitled to the honors of d discoyerer, although he was certainly unaware of any body having comet running at large when saw this one apparently coming toward Iditarod from Ruby City. By the following press dispatch it will be seen that two comets were attracting comment Outside more than a month ago, but there is no evidence that either of them is the one that will be designated for the present, at least, as Browns:
 St. Louis, September 19, - Father Brennan, of this city, sighted tramp comet last night that is now visible in the heavens after o'clock
 The comet. although rather small, can be seen with the naked eye and was not reported until after the discov- cry on the part of father Brennan, who was watching for sight of the Brooks comet, scheduled to appear about this time.
 The orbit of the present comet is such as proves it to belong to that group of comets known as tramps, which may never visit the earth or come within range of vision again.
