FOREIGN COAL FOR ALASKA
Territory Produces Little, and Other
Countries Must Be Called on 70
Remedy Deficiency.

Though something has been known
Of Alaska coal for more than sixty
years, the amount Of actual mining,
according to the United States geo
logical survey, has been insignificant.
The total production since the terri
tory was acquired from Russia is
less than $4,000 tons. This is all
the more significant because during
this time more than 100000 tons
Of coal have been shipped into Alas
la, and all but 20 per cent. Of it
was from foreign fields. The Boring
river and Matanuska coal fields of
Alaska are stated by Alfred H.
Brooks Of the geological survey in
a recent report to constitute the only
known sources of high-grade coal
near either the eastern or the west
crn shore Of the Pacific ocean, unless
such fuels may be had from the in
land coal field of China. They are
therefore Of great Importance to the
industries of the Pacific coast. From
them must come the high grade
steaming and coking coal and an
thracite needed by the growing pop
ulation in the seaboard states. I'm
less they are utilized the manufac-
turing and smelling industries Of
that region and the ships Of the
American navy in the Pacific must
depend largely on foreign fields, ex-
cept as coal may be brought around
Cape Horn and through the Pana-
ma canal. Alaska's own need for
high-grade coal can be supplied only
from those two fields, unless it is
furnished by such foreign fuel as is
transported for a thousand miles or
more.

COLORADO GOES
TO WILSON BY
LEAD Of $4,000
Democratic State Ticket
Is Swept Into
Office.

DENVER, Colo. Nov. 6.-Woodrow
Wilson. for President, and Elias NJ
Ammons. for governor. have swept
Colorado for the Democrats. according
to incomplete returns compiled here to-
day. Wilson'S plurality will not be
less than 5000. ''
These two leaders evidently have car
ried with them the entire Democratic
State, Congressional and legislative
tickets. indicating that Colorado will be
represented by two Democrats in the
United States Senate and four DEM
ocrats in the lower house. The Scna-
tors probably will be John F. Shafroth.
now governor. and Charles $. Thomas.
former governor.
The Congressman: Edward Heating
and Edward T. Taylor at-large: George
ltindel. First district, and II. II. Sell
domridge. Second district.
Secretary OF State James h. Pierce.
whose candidacy for reelection was
bitterly fought by women who charged
him with misconduct. apparently has
been elected.
The fate OF the recall OF all State Of
! ficers. including judges: recall OF judi
cial decisions. headless ballot, and a
corrupt practices act are still In doubt.
The proposal to establish Statewide
prohibition has been showed under. the
plurality against 1t running about 1000.
The mothers compensation act proba-
| bly, carried. All were submitted under
the initiative and referendum.

IS GLAD DEMOCRATS
CONTROL CONGRESS
Secretary Nagel Relieved Because
New Administration Will Have
Full Sway.

Secretary OF Commerce and Labor
Charles Nagel. active executive head
Of the Administration In Washington.
said today that In view Of the Demo-
cratic victory in the Presidential
race. he was glad that the Democrats
had carried the House. and would
have the Senate with them.
The Secretary conveyed the idea
that under this condition the re-
spcnsibility OF Government would be
undivided and that the Democrats
could not point to a Republican Sc J.
ate or House as being responsible for
any contingency.
The Secretary added that he did not
think the returns were all In vet, but
practically admitted that he was not
hoping for any material change In the
situation.
"I am glad" he said. that the DEM
ocrats. having the Presidency. will
have Congress with them. This will
permit them to carry through their
program and promises unhtndered."
The Secretary made no comment on
the future prospects for the Repub-
lican or Progressive parties, and
would not comment further on the
election results.

Wilson and Prohibition
Carry West Virginia

WHEELING. w. Va, Nov. s.-Re-
turns from the State are still incom-
plete. but enough is known to make
certain Wilson'S plurality will be not
less than 5000. Hatfield, Republican,
has been elected governor by probably
1000 and the entire Republican ticket
In the State wins with pluralities rang
ing up to 10000
Republicans have elected Congress-
men-at-large In the State, and In the
First, Second, Third. and Fifth districts,
with a prospect of winning In the
Fourth also. The legislature is still in
doubt with Republicans certain to elect
the largest number OF new members,
but the Democrats have a majority of
the followers in both houses and may
control on joint ballot. -.
The prohibition amendment prohibit
Ing the sale and manufacture OF all In
toxicants has been carried by a majority
of not less than 10000, and II may run
