PROPOSE TO LEASE
alaska COAL LANDS
Bills introduced in House and
Senate in Accordance With
Programme.

WASHINGTON. Feb. ia plan to
through leasing system was pro-
posed in a bill introduced in the house
today by Representative Ferris of
Oklahoma as a part of the administra-
tion programme for the development OF
the resources of the territory.
The measure would allow the secre-
tary Of the interior to lease for pri-
vate development the government coal
lands in Alaska, in blocks of forty
acres. or multiples thereof up to 2650
acres No single developer would be
allowed to take up more than $3.50
acres, and no claims agTegating more
than that amount could be combined.
under penalty of forfeiture. Stringent
provisions against possible combina-
tion for control Of the lands would i'm
pose Jail sentence of three years and
a $1,000 fine as the penalty for joint
ownership of more than the prescribed
allotment.
The secretary of the interior would
be authorized to lease the lands
through competitive bidding, under
conditions which would assure the gov
all coal mined. During the time the
mining operations were being projected
the bill would enforce the payment of
rent at the rate of % cents per acre
for tho first year, so cents per acre
per year for the second, third. fourth
and fifth years, and 81 per acre there
after. Royalties paid on coal mined
however, would be credited to this
rental account.
The leases would be indefinite in
term, dependent upon the working OF
mine, but the secretary would be al
lowed TO alter the conditions of the
lease every twenty years. The funds
secured by these leases would be ap
piled to the development, improve
ment and betterment of the territory
of Alaska" particularly to the build
ing OF the government railroad planned
in the bill, which has already Passe(
the senate and is now pending in tht
house.
Later in the day the same bill was
introduced in the senate by Senator
Walsh Of Montana. who has partici
pated in the administration con

WANTS CONFERENCE
WITH WESTERN MEN
Secretary Lane Anxious to
Discuss Irrigation and
Reclamation Question.

DENVER, Feb 9.-Goveruor +. NJ.
Ammons has received communication
from Secretary OF the Interior Lane
suggesting that meeting Of governors
of western states and individuals in
terested in reclamation projects be
held within the Immediate future to
discuss i'll detail the questions OF lrri-
CATION and reclamation of arid lands
of the west. Secretary Lane suggested
that the meeting be held simultaneously
with the western governors conference,
which is to convene in Denver, probably
in April.
In accordance with the secretary's
communication Governor Ammons today
sent out a statement to western gov
ernors and the general public, setting
forth his idea Of the conference aud
suggesting the second week IN April as
q suitable date.
Governor Ammons was elated Mt the
interest in western lands which Seere-
tary Lane evinced, and declared that
he believed a most amicable arrange
ment for the reclamation Of desert
lands would be reached between state
and federal governments.
At the close of business yesterday no
letter had bocn received by Governor
Spry from Secretary Lane. However,
it is expected that while the Utah
executive is in Washington he will call
upon the secretary of the interior, and
will receive the invitation in person.
Governor Spry, it is expected, Will per-
sonally urge the government Official to
have the meeting of governors held IN
this city on the argument that 1t is
the logical, central point.
