In speaking of the recent storm at Nome, Dr. Ramsey said; Nome needs all the relief that she can get, more morey is needed right now" At the time of the storm the city treasury was just about empty.

JNASWERABLE
 ARGUMENT

me 1oilOWlnC extract rom d beech delivered by Senator Thos. ]. Walsh of Montana, is of interest to every Alaskan. md an unanswerable argu- nent in favor of "opening up Alaska.
 It was disclosed in recent investigations. by a senatorial committee, that the navy pur- hased for the use of the fleet here300. 1000 tons of coal at | cost of about s5 or s5.50 per on. costing the government m the Pacific Coast ebout sS a on. when an abundance of 'oal can be obtained within , miles of the seaboard Of Alaska. and laid down at the
 eaboard at a cost not to ex-
 eed S2.50. In other words. " reason of the fact that the
 oal deposits are locked up, md the government has paid something like si,50O,000 an- lually for freight on coal which : carried around to the fleet.
 With the s1.50O,O0, the mount the United States is oaying annually on coal, you
 an build a railroad into the 'oal mines and the coal can )e laid down at tidewater for ess than it costs at the sea 1oard. Yet. it seems imros- 'ible to make any headwav IT to develop any of these ands under the exsisting laws. Practically everything is re- erved from appropriation and 10 lands are geing issued upon he appropations being made.
 "Of course public attention 1as been directed for a great many years to the condition of affairs in Alaska. and it is moi 1t all all unjust or unfair to ay that that condition con- 'titutes q reproach to the Jnited States and to the com non wealths of the United States.
 l would not like to have any body understand that I am offering any criticism what 3ver of the initial reservation cf his land, of the interruption 0: he process of appropriation 9f same by private individuals. Tn fact, 1 am profoundly con- finced today that this is a wise lIst and necessary effort OH he part of those charged with he administration of the pulp ic lands; but not to have made one provision since that time aasonably adapted for the de- tioPment of those lands and Iiilization Of their great de- 7osits of coal for the use of lavy in case that should be un- fortunately unavailable in time If war on the Pacific. is some hing that constitutes a crime"
