tWenty-first ward in Chicago, which
has given President Taft three Of his
cabinet ministers. The other two
were Franklin MacVeagh, at present
Secretary of the Treasury, and Jacob
M. Dickinson, former Secretary oi

despite this great influence the ward
went against President Taft In the re.
cent primaries.

the matter of Alaskan development
The policy OF the Department Of thu
Interior, as enunciated by Fisher. Is te
bring the natural resources OF the
country to the people In particular
he cited his plan for opening govern
ment coal bearing lands to municipal
tiles without charge If the coal mined
is sold to the people or used by the
city.
Views on Alaska.
Fisher discussed the development OF
Alaska at length. He said in its clos
ing hours Congress gave to Alaska
full territorial government and pro
vided for railroad commission
which has left Washington to In.
vestigate the transportation ques.
lions Of the islands. This commission
is composed of an army engineer, an
officer Of the navy, a member of the
geological survey and civil engin'
eer, who is a practical railroad build.
er, selected from private life. One OF
the questions to be considered is that
of expediting coal mining for the navy,
which. wants 100000 tons year.
Il think the best route for q rail
road from tidewater to the Yukon
would be from Seward and Resurrec-
ton bay, through the coal fields to
Fairbanks said Fisher.
Regarding the development of the
coal mines of Alaska, he said:
: After my visit to Alaska last year
/ recommended the passage of liberal,
weIlguarded leasing laws for the de-
5veTopment of the Alaska mines. But
there was too much politics at the
last session of Congress for the laws
to pass. The director of mines, in
conference with members of the Amer
lean mining congress and practical,
hard-headed mining operators, inyesti.
gated the conditions in Alaska and a
leasing law bill was prepared and
submitted to both houses Of Congress.
1t was reported favorably by the Sen
ate committee on public lands, but
got no further. / hope it will be taken
up and passed. 49,
The policy of the government in
the West has been to withdraw all
lands believed to contain coal, have
them appraised by the geological SUR
yey and sold at a fair valuation. The
policy in regard to the Alaska coal
fields is to secure legislation that will
enable the government to lease the
lands on tonnage royalty basis, with
provisions that the coal be mined in
regard to the safety of the operators
and to prevent waste.
Protection for Leasers. bal.
The leasing proposition is in &C
cordance with the usual method fol-
lowed by coal miners. The operators
seldom own the mines they work, leas
ing them for operations. Whether
operators lease from the government
or from private owners makes. little
difference. The 1easers are to be pro-
tected by haVfng,the right to renewal
of leases
Secretary Fisher said he was in ia
vor of turning over government coal
fields without charge to any munich
pality empowered by State law to op-
crate mine, if the coal be mined to
be sold to the consumers in the town
or for town purposes. The city OF
Grand Junction, Colo, Fisher said, haC

/ At any rate, the Secretary immedi-

Egentleman. capable of bearing the dig.
nifty of his high and responsible Office
without austerity;; in his deep bass
voice he speaks frankly openly, with a
simplicity and ,candor that at once
places his guest at ease. He speaks
simply OF Zig affairs, apparently dis
cusi11g the mfreely, yet with a diplim-
acy that avoids tn epitfalls of unson-
sidered or unwise statements so easily
that they apparently never enter his
mind
During his service in. the cabinet 1t
has been Fishers lot to conduct a
number of political ivestigations, more
or less similar in nature to the, one
which he it at present entering, and
without exception the one outstanding
feature at the end of them has been
that Fishers recommendations or rul-
'ings have been accepted without ques-
ton, both by the people and by the
government. He has never failed to
convince the parties on both sides of
the matter in dispute that he has done
his work conscientiousiy, with an open
ard receptive mind, unbiased, and has
won their implicit faith In him.
His Fine Record With Alaska.
The most notable example OF this.
perhaps, WIS in the tour of investiga-
ton to Alaska about year ago, when
he went to ascertain the facts in re-
gard to the charge of fraud in the coal
lard. and to look into Alaska's prob
lems Of DEVELOPMENT.
Accompanied by party of newspa-
permen. the secretary made a thor
5oHgh Investigation, and he did. not
stop with the hearings or addresses
before chambers of commerce Putting
OF. rubber boots and rough, heavy
clothes, he took the field, making a
personal INSPECTION of the coal fields,
harbors, and other things. It was a
very strenuous trip, and Fisher show
ed himself physically able to cope
with Alaska's problems.

representative of the StarlBuIletin his
object and plans tentatively outlined
for his. probe into the FreareKuhio

1t Is simple matter, easily ex.
planned" he said. Briefly, the situa.
tidn b this: Governor. Erear's term
has expired and Delegate Kuhio. has
formally objected to his reappoint-
ment. The objection was first made
verbally to The President, at whose
request the Delegate later submitted
his 6b3ecffon, setting forth mis- reasons.
The charges he made against the Gov
ernor do not accuse the latter of il.
legal or criminal actions; on the con-
trary, ne freely admits that Frear ffas
been conscientious and has conducted
his administration in honesty to his
own idea of how the various cues
tons should be handled. ff thet
The Delegates charges are that
homesteading lands have been with
held and that there has been misman-
agement. Following Knhio's state
'inent, Governor Frear submitted a re-
ply to President Taft. 70 that reply
the Delegate gave a counter answer
and Governor Frear again responded
