The Coal Situation.
The Black Diamond" Official organ Of
the coal trade, in its Issue Of Saturday,
July %, said:
The one factor which has had the
greatest influence upon coal trade within
the last week was the development Of a
car shortage in various parts Of the coun-
try. This happened to be an important
influence because the trade has been de-
veloping very slowly for the last two
months, and It had just expanded into
reasonable volume when the car shortage
appeared. This slowed down the move
ment and by preventing overproducuon
gave a stronger tone to prices
1T is evident TO close observers that
this is a constructive rather than an
actual car shortage. That is, the rail-
roads have not now more business than
they can actually do, but rather than
show early symptoms OF hCapaClIS afo
suffering from having permitted cars to
be used as coal warehouses-that is, rail-
roads have permitted shippers to load
cars at the mines and to hold the coal
thus In storage until the product has
been sold. Likewise, lake shippers have
sent coal TO those ports without either
having Il sold, or without docks on which
TO put II. Furthermore, retail dealers IN
all parts Of the country have ordered In
coal, expecting TO unload IL, only TO IND
that when II arrived they could not get
the labor necessary TO do the work Be-
cause cars have thus been held UP al the
mines, at lake ports and al the retail
yards. the railways find themselves tenn
porarily short Of enough cars to move
the coal quickly to market"

SENATORS TO SIT
 FOR FOUR YEARS

It does not seem to be generally understood as yet that while the members of the Alaska house of representative will hold their seats for but two years, the mem berS Oi the senate will retain their seats for four years, only one senator boing elected at each future cleo ton.
 Under the terms of the home rule act, immediately upon meeting at Juneau next March the senate will be divided into two classt s; then lots shall be drawn to decide who are to sit for the fl st four years, aud who are to retire at the end of the first two years The senator i'll each division thus called upon to retire March I, 1915, could, 7, of course become a candidate fol reelection in November, 1914, and in case he should be successful, he would remain ill office until March I,IoI9.
 This overlapping of senatorial terms is great safeguard, as it in- sures a certain amount of continu- ity in legislative policy-there al ways being at least four senators who have served in a previous legislature, whereas all of the rep. resentatives might be new mem

DANCED MONDAY
 AT A. B. HALL

The regular meeting of Camp Iditarod No. 27 was held at A. B Hall last Monday evening. There was a fair attendance. After the usual business had been transacted it was decided to have an informal dance. The wives and sweethea1ts of the mem bers were notified, and d most enjoyable evening was spent. About IS couples took part.
 Excellent music was the feature of the evening, with Mrs. Maher at the piano and Frank Hudson as violinist. Prof. Hudson, it seems, has been hiding his light under a bushel, as this was his first appear ance in public in Iditarod. He proved himself most accomplished musician, and it is hoped his ser vices will be available OH future oc- casions.
 A few visitors from the creeks were present.

DAD CLEVELAND ADDING TO
 REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS

Quite lively bidding took place last Monday afternoon when Dep, uty Marshal Tom Howell disposed of the Riverside hotel by public auction, the property eventually being knocked down to F. E Cleveland for the sum of SI85.
 The bidding started when Mr. Cleveland offered S25 for the hotel, whi>h consists of log dwelling of ample proportions and we'll fitted throughout. J. J. Kelly raised the price to S35, being followed by Cleveland with S5o. Here John Strelic came forward with an offer of S75, but he was immediately out bid by the others. The price con- tinued to rise iii this manner for several bids, until Mir Cleveland was declared the purchaser at the price named above.
 Less than half dozen people at tended the sale.

PACIFIC COAST
 SHIP SHORTAGE

Contrary to all precedent in a Presidential election year, business throughout the United States is re viving, especially on the Pacific coast. Not only letters received ill Iditarod from private sources con tain this information, but official statistics verify it.
 It is considered remarkable, and business men and cham bers of com aerce are unable to explain the phenomenon.
 Shipping business on the Pacific coast is so good that no ships can be obtained for charter. So great is the shortage of American ships that many British vessels are being pressed into the American trade, especially ill the coal carrying line. All shipbuilding yards throughout the world appear to be working to their full capacity, and economists say the world is on the eve of such a flood of prosperity as it never be- fore has seen.

DID NOT KNOW
 1T WAS LOADED

Last Sunday evening George Hamilton was repairing all acety- 'ene gas tank, assisted by Captain Jimmy Green, mayor of the Sand spit. The tank was supposed to be empty, otherwise Jimmy would never have been foolhardy enough to approach it with lighted candle, which he did. Immediately there was big explosion. After a bit the dust cleared away, and Ham and his assistant "came down. "
 The scene which greeted their eyes looked like train wreck in miniature; both ends of the tank were blown out and things thrown around in great shape. Collecting their scattered faculties, Ham found hi, injuries were chiefly moral and intellectual - nothing being hurt but his feelings; but his com panion fared worse, losing his eye brows and lashes and getting his face scratched and temper ruffled But they were both thankful to find themselves still on old Mother Earth, and not ill another and warmer cline.
 Since the incident Greene has become the "Acetylene Kid" and as such may continue to known hereafter.
 It was fortunate the trouble was no worse. It frequently happens that all empty" acetylene or gas olne tank contains almost enough gas to blow up a battleship Only last winter, at Dlkeman, Toru Wisbarl had his leg broken by the explosion of an acetylene tank. On another occasion. in tinshop near tue city dock, a match or cigar carelessly thrown into an empty gasolene tank caused all explosion and nearly resulted ill bad fire.

Everybody i'll the camp knows John Holmes dogs, but not every body knows just why he keeps so many of them around. Now the secret is out, and from MT. Holmes himself comes the information. Here is what a recent issue of the Nome Nugget has to say about it:
 John Holmes, of Iditarod, in- tends to secure the greatest dog team that ever raced in Alaska, and will have the team ready for en- trance i'll the All-Alaska Sweep stakes next spring. This informa- tion was contained ill a letter from Holmes to Ralph Lomen, which ar rived ill the last mail. The ex- pressed intention of MT. Holmes IS to have the proposed record break CTS driven by certain well-known Nome man, if the latter can be pre-, vailed to remain ill Alaska this winter. Holmes dogs won the Iditarod Derby this year, making the 50 miles in 7 hours, 7 minutes and Al seconds over bad course. Holmes will soon begin to rake the interior of Alaska for his new team"

IMPORTANT POINT
MADE FOR BECKER.
Justice Golf Rules Out Bank Accounts
Evidence, Shutting off Part of the
Graft Charges State Rests
Defence Will Open, Today.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE state rest
ed its case, today, in the trial of Po-
lice I.iputenanj Charles Becker, on the
charge of instigating the murder of
Herman Rosenthal, the gambler.
The case for the defence will begin,
tomorrow when John w. Hart of
Becker's counsel, will make his open
ing address to the jury. If Becker has
his way. Hart said, he viii go ON the
stand in his own defence. Whether
his counsel will attempt to dissuade
him from this desire had not been de :
terInined, tonight John +, Mcintyre,
his chief attorney, said:
Becker is anxious to take the
stand. We may allow him to, but this
has not been determined"
The defence has indicated that it
will endeavor to prove that a clique
of gamblers inspired the murder OF
Rosenthal and that Becker is the vic
tim of a conspiracy.
Former District Attorney Jerome
will be one of a dozen or more wit
nesses the defence plans to call Mr.
Jerome is expected by Becker's coun-
sci to break down a portion OF the
testimony of Jack Rose, in connection
with an alleged telephone eonversa-
ton with Becker, introduced by the
state. to show that Becker had guilty
knowledge of the crime. Sam Paul
whose gambling place was frequently
raided by Becker, and other members
of the gambling fraternity are also
included in the list of Beekers wit
nesses. The accused police lieutenant
expressed himself, tonight, as confident
OF acquittal, after adjournment had
been taken on the announcement by
District Attorney Whitman that the
peoples case was complete.
Becker was in a happy mood, for
his counsel had just won a Victery
