EARLY SHIPMENT
 NEW FUEL EXPECTED

c. ]. Wilbur Jr, Alaska manager of the coal department of the Pacific Coast company, is expecting an early shipment of the company's new fuel product known as briQuets and manu. factured at the plant recently com pleted near Seattle at cost of S25O,- 900. The briquets are made from ground coal, bound together with as- phnltum and are said to be the last word in good household fuel.
 The Seattle Post.Intenigencer of August 23 contains a description of the new industrial plant at Briquet- vile just out from Seattle and in the Benton district. The new plant was inspected by members of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce last week, and is considered one of the most import ant industries in Seattle. It has Q capacity of 100000 briquets each day. 300 tons each 1O.hour run of the
 plant, each briQuet weighing 1Oh ounces. This means an annual pro- duct of 9O.OOO tons. By running COZ tlnuously day and night the output can be doubled.
 Four maJor processes are sad 10 attend the treatment of the coal that enters into the composition of the briquets- the grinding of the coal to rhe rigEt size; the drying out O. all moisture; the thorough mixing of the coal and binder; and finally stamping the mixture into briqGet shape. The binder consists of asphaltum from which all the lighter and more volatile oils have been extracted, and forms about 7ec of the compound.
 The briQuet is said to be odorless
 nooth, dust free, and as valuable for heating purposes as the finest grade of hard coal. The manufacturers claim that it is manufactured under a new process that has overcome all of the objections that were found in other coal briquets.

 Shortly after eleven o'clock the dancing was stopped while MT. Kin2ie and Mir Kennedy were each present ed with token of esteem and remem- berance from the men who have been working undr them during their terms of office. The presentation speeches were made by Mir. J. N. Stoody, and each of the recipients responded with short speeches of appreciation, Mir. Kinzie laid particular stress on the idea that he would appreciate the tok- ems all the more since they came from the men as a body and that the gift was representative of the man on the end of the muck stick as well as the men who were holding higher posi- tlons.
 The dance broke up shortly after midnight, when the last boat left for Juneau with the guests from across the channel.

SEATTLE ASKS FOR
 COAL LEASING LAW

SEATTLE, Aug. 25.-A resolution was introduced at the weekly meeting of the Seattle Commercial Club last night insisting upon the immediate opening of the Boring river coal fields in Alaska to prevent industrial para. lysis and great hardships in the North and injury to the Pacific coast in case war crisis should prevent the im- portation Of coal from Canada. The club referred the measure to the na. tional affairs committee for immed. fate action.
 Shortage May Come.
 The resolution. in addition to point ing out that Alaska mining operations were already suffering as a result of an insufficient amount of coal, recited that as coal used by the navy on the Pacific was brought from the Atlantic seaboard for the most part in foreign vessels, a shortage will soon exist at the government stations because for. eign bottoms are not available to transport fuel to waters on this side of the ocean.

SAID TO BE AN
 AMERICAN NEGRO

That Gen. Francisco Villa is an American Negro, native of Mary land and citizen of the United States. is the allegation of those who claim that they served with him more than 30 years ago when he was first sergeant of Troop D, Tenth U. S. (col- oreo) Cavalry. The Can Francisco Chronicle says several members of the the old company have recognized his photographs, and two of them say that they have talked with him within the last few weeks and he not not only admitted his identity, but talked with them about the old times in the Amer ican army.
 The story of his old crmoeadetaoii
 The story of his old comrades is that the Mexican bandit general is really George Goldsby and that he served through three enlistments in the American army, and had much e&- perience on the frontier. He deserted and went to Mexico in 1882 to escape the results of scrape in which be be- came involved while doing detached service in Texas. Later he became a major in the Mexican army and still later the most successful of all Mexi- can bandits.
 The record shows Goldsby was a good soldier, though inclined to be wild. He was non.commissioned of ficer most of the time that he was in the army.

EMPEROR'S VISIT TO
EAST RAISES SPIRIT
KaiSer'S Men Facing Russia
Are Inspired to Fresh
Deeds of VaIOr.

BERLIN, Dec. 2.-The journey of
Emperor William to the eastern front
has caused a feeling of optimism
throughout the country. 1t is be-
heVed that the presence Of the kaiser
at Field Marshal Won Hindenburgs
headquarters indicates that all is
going we'll in the war against Russia
and that the German troops in the
eastern arena will be inspired to
fresh deeds Of valor.
The struggle in east Prussia and
Poland is now regarded as the most
important operation in Europe Mil
itary experts point out that victory
against the Russians means the high
est glory for Germany because the
kaiser can put only hal Of his military
strength in the eastern field against
the vast resources Of all the Russians
A new class of German reservists is
being formed of men above 40 years
OF age. They will not be called into
active service however, unless an eX-
IRENE vrisis develops.
The German war office is very eau
tious against raising undue hopes and
for that reason is giving out practical
ly no information relative to fighting
in the east. but it is admitted that hos
tilities are still in progress on a grand
scale around Lodz. The Germans
have lost only two big guns and two
light cannon in the fighting there
whereas they have captured $50 big
Russian guns and 200 machine guns,
il is said.
A degree of honorary doctor Of
laws has been conferred upon Sven
Hedin, the Danish explorer by the
Breslau university
