MAKING COAL AVAILABLE FOR ALL

The coal fields of Alaska at last to be opened up Government experts have estimated that in sngle area comprising 122 square miles nearly ten billion tons of coal are available and that might easily be discovered to third of the actual amount within reach The particular field referred would be accessible from dewater Cordova The Boring coal fields could be connected With Cordova the by railroad not to exceed 9O miles length Of this lne 39 miles already in operation by the Copper River < Northwestern railway.

 On numerous occasions in the past, the Times has editoralized the subject of paronizing the home merchant An effort has been made to convince Tana naites of the importance of spending their money at home-among the merchants who pay the taxes and otherwise help to maintain the towns in which they reside and furnish the public with supplies at slight advance outside prices. Our merchants necessity we'll convenience and in order to make it possible for them to continue in business it is sary for the public to support them. The makes his money here and such money Is for living expenses should be spent here unless he would encourage lowering of wages and general cheapening of the particular camp which supports him.
 The Times is not the only newspaper that has pointed out these truths It is safe to say that every paper in the territory has, at some time other ducted similar campaign And speaking for ourselves the crusade against the mail order house not prompted by personal motives. The Times has little to gain through the concentration of expenditures within the territory by the average buyer The wage earner does not advertise he does not patronze the job printing establishment and the fact that he sends outside for things does not prevent him from subscribing to the local paper of his choice. It is the merchants of the territory for whom the newspapers fighting and if they appreciate the effort that is being made in their behalf they will set good example by spending of their money at home-by patronizing the other merchants, who have equal right to support.
 There merchants in every town in Alaska who, while crying against the mail order houses do not prac tice what they preach. They demand the support of the public but they forget that there others in business besides themselves. Such policy means disaster It is really important for the merchant to adhere to the practice of buying at home than is for the wage earner for the merchant has his money invested in large stock, while the wage is free to quit town or camp whenever conditions become ntolerabe

 The hope of passing the of much importance Alaska based the fact that after the House the proposed antitrust bills and sends them to the Senate there will be considerable interval of time eapse before the Senate ac during which the House will have leisure to take and pass other bls This of depends the ability of the House to maintain quorum, which it not able to do last summer, while theoretically in session.
 There prospect however of the Senate acting upon the Alaska bill this session. This much is admitted But that the passage of the bill through the House would give fair that it will pass the Senate and become law early the next session. which in December next Having passed the House. the bill will have preference position the Senate calendar when Congress reconvene that action may reasonably be expected

WASHINGTON, Dee 13-Economy

Redfield, of the department of COM

the many bureaus of his department
he undertakes to suggest a wise use
Of government funds.
III attention were directed not to
totals but TO the wise use Of funds"
said Secretary Redfield, so that the
latter should be made to produce the
utmost possible service, much would
be accomplished that is now hardly
suggested or attempted. Every in
dustrial manager knows that econo-
my requires his plant to be kept up
in the best productive condition. 1t
is not economical, in order to save
total expenditure. to allow the plant
to run down and then have TO build
it up again. This does not save
money, but loses it. Economy of this
kind is not economy at all. 1t mere
changes involves a cycle of expensive
rhanges. costly in themselves and
more costly in their results.
If, instead of arguing upon totals,
without regard to whether the money
which comprises these totals has
been spent wisely or unwisely, care

penditure and for the wisdom with
which that need is met, money could

TO be lost
Summarizing the work Of the last
year in promoting foreign trade, Mr..
Redfield says:
The United States is one of the
three foremost commercial nations.
1t is essential to its prosperity that
it should be inferior to no other
country in its governmental system
for the fostering and protection of
its trade, both domestic and foreign.
Such a system is now firmly estab
lished. In foreign countries the ad
mirable acknowledgment work
which. the consular officers of the
department of state carry on is now
to be supplemented through the ser
vice of a corps of commercial at
taches, which will fill a gap hereto
fore existing in our organization as
compared with that of other nations
These, with the group of special ira
yelling investigators of commercial
agents who continue the valuable
technical studies of markets abroad,

foreign field complete and we'll
