WONDERFUL WIRELESS
 RECORD AT EAGLE

The wireless station Of the Amer icau army at Eagle. 100 miles north west from Dawson. has been mak- ing some wonderful records Of late in long distance receiving. New re ceiving instruments were installed this year, and are working splend- idly.
 One of the best records was made on Dec. IS, at 3:I5 a. m, when "Nar," the navy station at Key West. Florida, was turned iu. He was working with tho naval sta ton at Mare Island at the time, and his signals Co Eagle were clear, while Mare Island complained Of static. The distance was something over four thousand miles The power Of this station Is thirty-five kilowatts, and the trausmitter a .Telefunken machine. This station had been heard earlier in the winter, uul NNlh lS d btNA NNn"llN NA NAN work done at Eagle.
 A couple of other examples of the receiving range were made on October 27. At 7:45 D. m. the SS. Tacoma Maru was heard. At the time she was four days out of Seat tie. on her way to Japan The trans hitter of the Maru boats is a five kilowatt set of the Japanese type Of which very little or nothing is known. They are very efficient sets, and the Japanese have made some great records with them. At 8 D. m. the naval station at Table Bluff, California, was heard. The distance is approximately 2,5O0 miles. This station is frequently heard, and always clearly. Their power is ten kilowatts, the Tele- funkeu transmitter being used.
 The Alaskan naval stations at SitGa and Unalga are so frequently heard as to be quite common. Also, the signal corps stations at Nulato and Nome are heard nearly every night when conditions are good.

THE OLD COAL STORY
 TOLD IN NEW WAY

Only one coal mine iu an Alaska was operated commercially in 1911, but a little coal was mined at sev- eraI places in the territory, chiefly by those who themselves utilized the product lnot even this has been allowed during the past year The total estimated output of coal in 1911 was 900 tons; the total out put in 1910 was 1000 tons Nine hundred tons of coal mined in one year in territory known Co con- tain more coal than such beds as Pennsylvaniat FTfty-seveu hun dred square miles are known to contain anthracite and high grade bituminous coal and half as much again known to contain low grade bitumiuous coal and this from OK haustive surveys made by the U. s. geological survey in an parts Of AL aska. Wherever a reconnaissance was made coal was found, at COOK inlet. Matauuska, Neuam, Boring river. Circle, Colville river, as far north as Point Barrow, Lisbourue, Norton sound and down to the AL aska peninsula. From 1899 to 1912 there has been consumed in Alaska 1.44OI04 tons Of coal or this. 492,O66 tons was imported from the States. chiefly from Wash lngtou; 9OS,577 tons, nearly double, was foreign importation, chiefly bituminous. from British Columbia, and 86,3l4 tons produced in Alas ka. At the present rate we can expect Co find that there was no coal produced in Alaska in the past year and that practically an impor- tatlons were foreign.-Wm. l.. Kid ston in Engineering Record.

1912 Sports Influenced to

noticeable both among colleges and
athletic clubs. AS a consequence the

western intercollegiate title, the Uni

1t had been feared that the Olym-
pic committee would draw almost *
clusively from eastern material for
the games at Stockholm. but due to
the good work of Everett G. Brown
and Professor a. a. stage the west
was heavily represented at the big
games and its athletes acquitted
themselves with credit.
Although specializing has been
practiced to a greater extent in Thu

marcation grows fainter each year

and athletic clubs the time cannot be
far distant when the two sections will
stand on an equal basis. There is no
question but that the eastern colleges
at present are ahead of the western

is the stricter scholarship rules en-.
elimination of paid" athletes from
both. colleges and athletic clubs. That
the ethical standard OF athletes is o n
a higher plane in the west can hardly
be disputed.

TENNIS TITLE
TO M'LoUGHLIN

Every sport furnished some partic-
ular thrill during 1919. and tennis
was no exception. the net game pre-
Sc nting a new champion in the person
of Maurice Mclaughlin. the young
Californian who stepped into the
shoes left vacant by William A.
Larned. who. because of i'll health. was
forced TO relinquish the title he held
so successfully for five preceding
years.
Mclaughlin for the last three or
four years has been threatening to
come to the front as a champion. but
each time Larned arose to the occa-
sion and SEM the San Franciscan back
home each time a near-champion.
Although Mclaughlin is of the Slam
bang style of player it is improbable
that lie will ever reach the peer Of
Larned. This was shown at Newport
when, McI4oughlin Won the title hard
pressed by a youth hardly cut Of his
teens. Richard Norris Williams. Will
liams is termed a beginner in tennis.
and when the time for Nc
season he may find 1t much more diff
tlcult to carry away the honors.
The women also furnished a new
champion in the person OF Miss Mary
Brown, also OF California. However.
she did not go through the season un-
defeated. and far from eaualed the
record set by Miss Hazel Hotchkiss
or Miss May sutton. Miss Brown was
defeated by Miss Marie Wagner in
the Metropolitan singles.
Western honors went to Thomas
Bundy in the singles. Mclaughlin. the
national champion. giving his partner
a chance to win the honors by with
drawing. Bundy then defeated F. C..

but neither of these colts ranked with

In the two-year-old division the
same situation exists in regard to He

Of the coin as to which is the best.
Their records are LOG familiar to re-
peat. but suffice it to say that Helios

finished second in three Of them, was
