SPEEDER FINED !. DOLLAR A MILE
Judge Thomas Hands Out Salty Dose to w. A. Por- ter, Convicted of Driving Automobile Along Street at Forty-Mile Clip

Forty dollars fine or forty days in the city jOiy. was the sentence Judge Thomas handed out to w. A. Porter in police court yesterday afternoon, fol- lowing conviction of the defendant of the charge of driving an automobile through the city streets at a rate of speed in excess of forty miles an hour. About one dollar a mile will do for you," said the judge in passing sen tence. T am only sorry that I haven't the power to revoke your license. This isn't the first time you have been be- fore me but this seems to be the most fragrant violation with which you have been charged in my court
 Porter was arrested early last week by Motorcycle Policeman Williams who chased him along North Central avenue and cellar out on the McDOwell road be- fore Overtaking him. At times, acOrd- ing to Williams. Porter was sending his machine ahead at a rate of speed in excess of 45 miles an hour, and was making 40 perfectly good miles an hour when oVertaken.
 Porter had been arrested on other oc- casions once having paid O fine of S5 later paying a fine of $15. The sentence meted out yesterday by Judge Thomas is the heaviest pronounced in the local police court for violation of the city speed ordinance. It was pointed out that of all times the driving of a ma chine on Central avenue at the rate of speed attained by Porter, there could have been none more fraught with danger than during a time when hund- reds of other automobiles were passing back and forth to and from the fair grounds. Porter had previously put up bail in the sum of $3O for his appear ance and confidently expected that even if convicted that his fine would not exceed the usual $15 assessment
 In speaking of the conviction of Por- ter and the placing of the heavy sen tence against him, Chief of Police Moore said last evening:
 There is no way apparently to break up this dangerous practice except by giving offenders the full extent of the law There should be no excuse even for first offenders. It is well known that first offenders are usually regu- lar offenders who have managed up to that time to escape the clutches of the law. The arrest of Porter and the plac- ing of such a fine upon him should have salutatOry effect upon others who may be inclined to send their ma chimes along the city streets at break neck speeds"

consumed in Alaska 1.440,1o4 tons of coal. Of this. 4s2,066 tons was i'm ported from the states, chiefly from Washington; 907.577 tons, nearly dou- ble, was foreign importation, chiefly bituminous from British Columbia, and 36.3l4 tons produced in Alaska. At the present rate we can expect to find that there was no coal produced in Alaska in the past year and that practically all importations were for eign.
 In 1907 there were 10.139 tons pro- duced in Alaska, 1908 only 3,107, in 1909 the total was 2.S00 tons, in 1910 but 1000 tons and 1911 only 300 tons. Another starling fact in this connec- tion is that while the importation from the states has gradually become less. being 6s,96O tons in 1906 and declin- ing by degrees to only 32.255 tons in 1911, the importation of foreign coal has grown from 47.590 tons in 1906 to SS,573 tons in 1911@2 The importations from the states in 1906 were greater than foreign importations by 14.379 tons. while in 1911 this condition was reversed, the importations being 56,- BIS tons less than foreign importa- tions and this change has taken place in the past six years.-Cordova Alas kan.

Yesterday. Easter Sunday, seemed to be really the beginning of spring. The sun shone brightly. many Easter bonnets. or whatever you call them, were in evidence. people went to church, many went to the country and there was that feeling which all of Us have felt in more congenial climes that another year was really dawning.
 on the other hand there were no dog races. no games and everyone went to church. So we ain't so bad.
 IL was one of those days when men get restless like hibernating bears and want to get out into the world of activity. The creeks and hills began to appeal tu them once more and the gloom and doubts for the future were dispellcd like mists by the brightness and comparative warmth of the sun.

There is one more peculiar idea go- ing the rounds of the Alaskan news papers at present. IL is said that people turn grey more quickly in AL aska than anywhere else just as rab- bits, rtarmigans and other creatures turn white in winter. If this is true il would certainly show that We are more the children of nature than we had believed ourselves to be. but is it true
 It can hardly be denied that men lose the hair from their heads here at an earlier age than the moulting age outside. This is put down to wearing heavy headgear.
 It might be good idea for men who are threatened with losing their hair to form a bareheaded club. They could go without headgear easily enough from this time forward and the only thing required is the com ing of a local Beau Brummel who could afford to set new fashion. He would be blessing to his race and sex.

COLD FACTS ABOUT AlAekA.

There is no person in Alaska bet ter posted on the mineral resources of this territory than our friend. pr. Alfred H. Brooks. of the United states geological survey and also a member of the Alaska railroad con- mission and when he declares that not only coal mining ventures. but rail- way construction and metalliferous mining and other industries of Alas ka depend on an abundant supply of cheap fuel his remarks are not ac- tuated by any motives other than a desire to make q simple statement of facts.
 Only one coal mine in all Alaska was operated commercially in 1911. but little coal was mined at several places in the territory. chiefly by those who themselves utilized the product tnot even this has been al- lowed during the past year.) The total estimated output of coal in 1911 was 900 tons; the total output in 1910 was 1000 tons.
 Nine hundred tons of coal mined in one year in territory known to contain more coal than such beds as Pennsylvania Fifty-seven hundred square miles are known to contain anthracite and high grade bituminous coal and half as much again known to contain low grade bituminous coal and this from exhaustive sur veys made by the United States geo. logical survey in all parts of Alaska. Wherever a reconnaissance was made coal was found; at Cook inlet. Matan- uska, Nenana. Boring river. Circle, Colville river. as far north as Point Barrow, Lisbourne, Norton sound and down to the Alaska peninsula.

Only q few more days are left to register for the municipal election. Every man ought t1 SC and put .,.s name on the books and every man polling comes.
 Many are prone to 1artlessness in matters of politics and to such are due the many faults of democratic government. They are wont to be- lievc that a vote or two can have no Affects on the results but they are really guilty when acting so of ignor- ing the tremendous privilege which popular government gives.
 Citizens should really be careful also that no march is stolen upon them within the next two days. : Only about that much time is left for candidates to file their petitions. The fact that candidates are so slow that something might happen at the last moment which would prevent the choice of the best men. At pres ent there is suspicious secrecy be- ing observed which might very easily culminate in a very rude awakening.
