accident Of a date and the mistake Of
her discovery. When Alphonso de
Souza, the Portuguese navigator, found
himself il the spacious bay he inagin-
ed he had found the mouth Of a noble
riTer, and because the day happened
to be the 1st Of January, 1851 he
named the supposed river after the
first month Of the year. The name
WAS not applied to the city that grew
up on the slopes Of the hills till many
years afterward, but San Sebastian,
the original name, is now almost for-
gotten Bio as city purchases the
beauty Of her site at the cost Of health,
for the giant ridges that form the
beautiful background to the town shut

He declared that personally he
would not have as a gift the best
coal claim, or any number of coal
claims, in Alaska. He said as he
rode along the Copper River &
Northwestern railway at mile 80
he noticed two immense glaciers. one
Miles Glacier and the other Childs
glacier. He said if he had any por-
ton of the thousands upon thous-
ands of tons of ice in the states he
could turn them into ready money
and make a good profit. Yet the ice
was worthless. Why? Because it
must be first gotten to market. Thus
it was with Alaskan coal. More
over, a railroad already reached this
great natural storage of ice, while
it would be necessary to build one
at a great expense to secure coal.
He says he would not care to in
vest any of his money in railroad
which would have to depend on coal
tonnage for it's earnings in Alaska.

of British Columbia coal, which

that the mission of his visit is SIM

Mr.. Megeath has decided views
upon the coal question and other i'm
portant matters of vital interest to
all Alaskans but was 10th to be
quoted stated that his views would
probably be misunderstood from the
fact that he is engaged in the coal
business. However, since it is a
subject in which all Alaskans are
interested. the Alaskan will take the
liberty of giving his views. especially
on the coal question.
He branded as absurd that the coal
barons of the east or any other part
of America were in any manner re-
sponsible for trying to keep Alaska
coal from being mined, or that they
n aintained a lobby in congress.
