with the Alaskans, returned home, and
formulated pfan which, he says, has been
discussed with the President, meets his
approval, and will have his support" With
this definite program proclaimed, declares
the Pittsburg Dispatch, sit will be up to
congress at the coming session to enact leg
islation that will end the deadlock in the
development of Alaska"
Secretary Fishers plan is to retain gov
eminent ownership of the coal-felds, lease
them to private operators, or, II private
capital hangs back, to go into the business
of mining and transportation to the extent
necessary properly to develop the country.
If government railroad should prove nee
essary in the future, Mr.. Fisher thinks that
there is ample opportunity and ample prece-
dent for its construction. But he would
prefer to see the extension OF the present
privately owned lines. The essential thing,
he declares, sis to adopt proper laws under
which monopoly will be impossible, pre-
serving ample opportunities for any future
action" while "the Immediately important
thing is that the field be open to wise de-
ve1opment to supply local needs and any
market that may exist on the coast. Re-
verting to the methods of opening the coal
lands, he went on, as the Chicago Tribune
quotes him:
"The time has passed when the govern
ment should convey unrestricted title, dellb-
erately encourage unrestricted private eX-
ploitation of the sources of power Owner
ship carries right of sale. 1t is unWise and
unnecessary to sell our coal-lands to insure
development.
Con the other hand, government opera
ton, including mining and selling, involves
such far-reaching changes of administration
and policy that there is no likelihood OF its
adoption Unlike railroad operation, it has
never been considered function of gov
eminent. Leasing avoids difficulties of both
extremes.
"The choice is not whether we shall mine
Our coal on the 1easehold scheme, but
whether under private or government lease.
"On1y sufficient lands should be leased to
meet the existing market and encourage its
development Quantity leased to any one
lessee limited to what can be proftably
mined, yet large enough to attract investors
Lessee shall pay royalty as he mines the
coal Annual amount shall be at fixed
minimum, which will prevent holding land
without production Mining to be accom-
plished without unnecessary waste and with
due regard to health and safety of en-
ployees. Lessee shall not engage in conf
binations, agreements, or understandings to
control price of coal.
Revenues derived by government not to
be used as source of Federal revenue or
substitute for taxation but for develop
ment of State or Territory in which the coal
is mined"

The monetary commission has recon-
mmended the amended Aldrich plan. 1t
seems to be universally conceded that Our
present money system is antiquated and I'm
suited to our conditions. I believe Senator
Aldrich has honestly and conscientiously at
tempted to devise money system that will
do away with panics and give the people
quick increase of money when necessary
without the consent of Wall street There
will be opposition to even giving the scheme
trial by men who don't know any more
about it than do, but it ought to be given
a trial and amend it hereafter if necessary.

Now is the time for the city of Seattle to
indulge itself in the ownership of tele-

Col. Blethen's Times made an awful muss
last week when it used its columns to bring
instead of standing with the people for pub
lie ownership, and in defending the captain
who put a boy off of his boat onto an island
instead of bringing the kid to Seattle. What
a power the Colonel and his Times could
WELD in this great, growing city if the col
umns of that gigantic paper would always
stand for the right and for the interests of
the masses.

From this time on, every franchise grant

clause, if the corporation commences or re-
moves any litigation to the United States
courts. The only hindrance to the enforce
ment of the state laws against corporations
are the Federal courts.

Driver Jumps as Wagon APP
proaches Obstruction.

The horses on a wagon belonging
to William Paulsen, 1893 Twelfth
street, and driven by Ed Johnson of
South Rock Island, ran away yester-
day afternoon at about o'clock.
They started at the corner of Third
avenue and Twentieth street and ran
as far as Market square where they
were caught.
The runaway was caused by the
bride giving way on one of the
horses. The team then made dash
straight down Third avenue. john
son. the driver, was unable to man
age them. When they reached the
new bank building on Eighteenth
street, the team headed straight for
a large pile of dirt and rubbish in
the street and Johnson, fearing that
the wagon would overturn when it
hit the mound of dirt, jumped. He
was uninjured and the wagon was
undamaged.

Passenger Train on Rock Island
Road to Muscatine Has Unique
Experience.

Tuesday afternoon the Rock Is
land road passenger out of Daven-
port for Muscatine lived up to its
name "Firefy" by running eight
miles with one of the coaches ablaze.
The front vestibule of the coach
caught fire in some mysterious man
ner as the train was pulling out of
Fairport. The car was soon filled
with smoke and the passengers came
close to becoming panic stricken.
Four different times the train stop
ped to enable the crew to fight the

Muscatine the flames had a better
hold than ever and it took an hour
to eXtinguish them.

mary statement of the general re-

sus Of manufactures of the city of
Moline, was issued today by Census
Director Durand. 1t was prepared
under the direction of william NJ.
Steuart, chief statistician for man
ufactures, Bureau of Census. The
figures are subject to such revision
as may be necessary after a further
examination of the original reports.

s32 1000
THE VALUE OF PRODUCTS.
The value of products represents
their selling value or price at the
plants as actually turned out by the
factories during the census year and
does not necessarily have any rela-
ton to the amount of sales for that
year. The values under this head
also include the amount received for
work done on materials furnished by
others.
Further details can be drawn
from the summary which follows:
Number Of establishments. Sc; CAPT

The steamer Morning Star of the
White Collar line will come down
from LeClaire tomorrow after the
departure of the steamer Helen Blair
on its tri-weekly trip to Burlington.
There is not dock space at the Dav-
export levee for both boats in addi-
ton to the boats of other lines and
for that reason the Morning Star
will stay where it is until room is
made. The big steamer which had
to cease operations a month ago on
account of the low water, will start
out again with a big list of passen-
gers as the reservations are being
made rapidly for the trip to St.

be taken and the situation saved in

the matter over seriously and in good
faith. he will understand that it was
not question of saving any bank or
trust company from failure; the ques
ton was of saving the plain people
the common people, in all parts of the

and suffering; and this was what my
action did
