INSTALLING FIRE
alarm SYSTEM

Today Manager G. b. Welshons, of
the Golconda Telephone & Power
company, has force of men wiring
the town for fre-alarm syste n.
Boxes will be placed at the Southern
Pacific station, Western Pacific, Cen
trail Office of the Telephone company,
and on Second OF Third street, near
Melarkey. Others will be placed in
position at points to be determined
upon later. This work was authorized
by the board of county commissioners
at its last session.
The boxes will be kept locked, and
in order to sound an alarm it will be
necessary to break the glass and pull a
lever, which will automatically ring
the number of the box from the hose
house bell. Fire alarms may be sent
in from any part of town, at any hour
of the day or night, by telephons,
when the operator at Central will
cause the number of the nearest box
to the fire to be rung
While, of course, this system is not
all that can be desired in the way of
additional fire protection for the
town, it is a step in the right direc-
tion and may possibly have the effect
of slightly reducing insurance rates.

BILL TO LEASE
alaska COAL LAND

Opening of Alaska coal lands under
leasing plan was proposed in bill
agreed on Tuesday by the senate pub
lie lands committee. and which will
be favorably reported by Chairman
Meyers.
Under the bill $3.50 acres in the
Behring river district and 1880 acres
in the Matanuska field will be reserv-
ed to be mined by the government
when in the opinion of the president
"the mining of such coal becomes
necessary by reason of an insufficient
supply of coal at reasonable price
for the navy and government work
and for relief from oppressive condi-
tions.
The bill proposed that the unreserv-
ed lands be surveyed into forty-acre
tracts or multiples thereof, the maxi
mum being fixed at $50 acres for any
tract. Thev are to be leased to com
petitive bidders. not more than one
tract being included in any lease.
Railroads would be prohibited from ac
quiring a greater coal supply than
needed for their own uses.
Provision is also made for the re-
linquishment of pending claims under
the public land law. Claimants will
receive refund of money and a
prior right of selection under the
leasing law.
The total average of contiguous
land which one person, or corporation
might hold in the discretion of the
secretary of the interior would be
fixed at 1850 acres. and consolida-
tions of small contiguous holdings
would be permitted if the total area
involved were within that figure.
The bill seeks to prevent interlock-
ing in leases bv forbidding any person
or interest to take or hold any inter
ct as a stockholder or otherwise in
more than one lease and providing
any interest held in violation of that
proviso shall be forfeited to the
United States.
ANY person who buys or holds any
interest In two or more such leases or
any person who knowingly sells or
transfers to person disqualified to
hold lease will be guilty of felony
with penalty of Imprisonment for not
more tHdn tnTte years ana DN H0t
not exceeding $1,000.
Payment is proposed on royalty
basis of not less than two cents nor
more than FIVE cents ton, and an
annual rental of 25 cents and acre for
the first year. 30 cents a year for the
second to fifth year inclusive. and 81
a year thereafter, the rental to be
credited against ROYALTIES as they ac-
crue on shipment of the coal. Leases
would be for indeterminate periods,
but subject to readjustment at the
end of twenty years.
A system of limited license, under
which ten-acre tracts or reserved
lands may be worked without pay
ment of royalties is provided where
the secretary of the interior believes
such operations will safeguard the
public interest.
The bill is a combination of the ad-
ministration measure, the Smoot bill
and several others that have been un-
deI consideration by the committee.
