NACOSTIA, d. C, JUNE D.
Anacosrians are receiving their water
bills from the Municipal building con-
| tanning the advance in rates ordered
effective by the Commissioners last
year. The water rents are due and
payable in advance on July l for the
next yeGr O.,
This is the first opportunity residents
of the suburbs have had Of scanning
the new figures. In every instance
there has been an increase of at least
fifty cents. This is because the old
minimum rate of $3.50 has been sup
planted by the new one of 70. OtheI
increases are noted proportionately
and it is predicted there will be rush
of citizens to the District building to
ask for water meters. None of these
have been installed here. Suburban
residents seem to prefer to have the
water metered to them, but callers at
the offices of the Commissioners have
been informed that the meters will
not be available until after july l.
The departure of the children of the

essary by the fact that Mrs. w. G.

in an effort to restore her health. When
she returns the summer home will be
opened 1t is not the intention to close
the Anacostia institution at any time
during the summer, even when the chill
dren go on their vacation. The salt air
home cares for feeble women and their
children and waits from the city during
the hot months. and Mrs. Davenport's s
absence will be a hindrance to the work
of former years.

Fisher Convicted by
 His Own Mouth

WASHINGTON, Feb 4-Secretary of the Interior Walter L. Fisher was forced to admit today before the House Committee on Territories, that he had assumed dog-n-hemanger attitude in the matter of opening up the Alaska coal fields.
 Secretary Fisher ntimated that this policy had been pursued by him because of President Roosevets with drawa of Alaska coal lands from public entry on Nov 12, 1906
 The admission of Fisher, which came as thunder bolt out of clear sky was forced from him by Repre- sentative Rufus Hardy of Texas in hearing before the committee, of bil introduced by Delegate James Wckersham of Alaska, and Senator Jones' of Washing on to place the hearing of Alaska coal land claims be- fore court of competent jurisdiction.
 In the hearing Secretary Fisher opposed the bill, He said that the courts would not be liberal in their as the Interior Department

 prospecting is under way on the creeks. but not many streams have shown gold in paying qD ntities. Long creek is the best, and a number of dumps are being taken out there this winter" says a visitor to that sec. ton.
 Ruby is one of the largest towns in the Yukon valley. It is the second in size on the Yukon river, being next to Dawson. Ruby might apolo- gize for not providing more places for humanity to fight off the menace Of thirst It's miserable showing with only five saloons is a sad commentary Fairbanks has a few more, but they are poorly patronized, and both towns easily are outnumbered by old Daw. son and her twenty-four drink empor, mms now running full blast"
 A. F. Engelhardt, license inspector and collector for the Yukon Territory, explains to the Dawson News that Dawson has eight saloons and seven teen hotels licensed to sell liquors, making a total of twenty-five retail places. She also has two wholesale houses. Roadhouses in Yukon Terri tory are licensed to sell liquor in sum mer.
 On the Alaska side sale of liquor is permitted only in towns where a marshal is stationed The Yukon has an extensive police service not main tained in Alaska.

Abstract of the Decision
 in Whorf Coal Land Case

Sept. IS. 1912, at which Whorf, Redel. sheimer. Levy. and other, testified. The evidence adduced showed that the only interest Redelsheimer had in the claim is that of a mortgage, it .eing shown that he loaned the money to Whorr which was used in paying for the land and in developing and equipping the claim.
 Couceding, however, that the entry was made in the interest of one or both of said parties, it nevertheless appears that each is qualified to make entry under the coal land laws.
 The decision quotes from the case of the United States vs. Colorado An thracite Company-"while the coal land law does not expressly prohibit an entry by one person for the bene- fit of another it does limit the Quan- tity of land that may be acquired hereunder by one person to 16O acres and the quantity that may be acquired by an association of persons to 32O acres. and in exceptional instances, GAO acres"
 The entry here in question em- braces but a trife more than 65 acres of land-less than might be entered by an individual and necessarily less than might be entered by an associa' tion of qualified individuals.
 Under the circumstances it is not necessary to give further considera, ton to the possible rights of Levy or Redelsheimer in the premises, both being shown to be qualified en- trymen under the coal land laws. The claims asserted by Levy should come before a court of equity. The de partment believes that the entry should be passed to patent in Whorfs name. The decision is signed by Sam uel Adams, First Assistant Secretary of the Interior

Appropriation For the
 First Alaska Legislature

to the amount of $6,5OO. An item of $5. .16O is allowed for salaries to em- ployees of the legislature during it's session. The sum of $5,OOO is set aside to pay for the printing of laws. An item of $2OOO is allowed to pay for rent of legislative halls and commit tee rooms. The sum of $5,OOO is pro- vided to pay for stationery, supplies, and for the printing of bills, reports, etc.
 The same beneral appropriation bill makes provision for the support of the Governors office, but does not increase the amount for that purpose, although a larger amount is urgently needed for clerk hire, in view of the added duties of that office in connec- tion with the newly created legisla. ture.

 ON COAL ENTRY

For the information of the local land office a copy O: the decision of the Circuit Court Of Appeals of the Eight Circuit in the c@se of the United States ys. the Home Coal and Coke Company, and the Baldy Coal Company. was received by the local offices yesterday.
 The area iuvolveu is coal lands in Colorado. The decision in effect holds that an entry Of a coal claim may be made by any person for the use and benefit of any other person Qual- flied to make coal land entry the only restriction being that of area which must not exceed 16O acres, and that the ostensible entryman does not make the entry by any misrepresenta, tion or deceit or fraud as to the real parties in interest.

The other day there was an accident at Jualin.

 The plants at Petersburg will m- doubtedly be enlarged and there will probably be one built at Wrangel.
 It is planned to establish stations all along the coast until the chain is complete. The commercial rate will be made much lower than the present cable rates, but whether or not there will be a press rate has not been an nounced.
 Mir Smith is enthusiastic over the prospect of getting direct communica- tion from the isolated mining camps like Jualin. with the outside world, The prospect should also appeal to the Alaska business men. The prom ise of direct communication, not only with the large commercial cities of the States. but with their customers at a distance from the trade centers should be welcomed by all Alaska bus mess men. The proposed enterprise will probably receive universal encour- agement.

The local land office is in receipt of the decision of the department of the interior in the case of w. C.. Whorf. who made a coal land entry at Port Graham on February s, 1910. for 65IOl acres. The land in ques- tion IS situated in the Cook inlet re- cordiug district, Juneau land district and the entry was based on notice of location made by Whorf April 26, 1905. under the provisions Of the act of April 2SI9O4.
 From an investigation Of the en- try made by the field service of the general land office it developed that Louis Levy claimed an undivided one half interest in the entry on account of a "grubstake" agreement between himself and Whorf, entered into Jan. r. 1908. and also on account Of To- cation of a portion Of the area in ques- ,ion. with other ground. made by Whorf in 1903, which purported loca- ton. however. was later. and prior to the present location abandoned. It was also suggested that one Jules Redelsheimer was interested to some extent in said entry. The land office directed that proceedings be had in the case in accordance with the cir cular of Jan. 9, 1911, on the charges that Whodf did not locate and file upon the land embraced in his entry in good faith: that the entry was made pursuant to an unlawful agreement with Levy: that prior to the applica- ton for patent Whorf sold and re- leased. by quit claim, deed dated July 29. 1907, to Jules Redelsheimer, the land embraced in the entry and thereafter. in violation of law, filed application for patent in his own name
