WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 13.-Secretary
Redfeld, of the department of commerce addressed
the delegates to the second annual meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United States of
America at the Lincoln memorial banquet at the
New Willard Hotel last night He announced that
as Alaska the principal TOPIC Of the country at
the present time he would take that his subject.
Secretary Redeld declared that the Alaska railroad
project was fine thing and should be- carried
through to success, "But is usefulness can never
be fully realized until the waters Of the Alaskan
coast are made safe for shipping he declared.
Sour coast has not been made nearly safe as the
waters Of our neighbor to the north, British
Columbia. Additional appropriations have been
asked for lighthouses and to provide for survey
of the waters along the coast to reveal hidden PIN
nacles which constantly taking toll of life and
heavy losses to shippers. Alaskan commerce can
not reach it's fullest development under present
conditions"

erecting more lighthouses and making survey of
the waters lighthouse tenders were required which

have been discussing what should be done with the
tory has been dwindling and many industries have
been ruined. We want to make Alaska our own
country by building government owned railroad
If we permit private capital to construct and
operate the railroads it will be the same as in Cali
fornia where the Southern Pacific railroad prac
ticaly controlled transportation and retarded the
development of the country. The people of the
Pacific coast want the government to place Alaska
coal at their disposal in order that their industries
may be increased by cheaper and better fuel. The
withdrawal of the coal lands of Alaska, without
speedy settlement of the controversy, has been
cruelty to the people of the north. They have been
forced to pay exorbitant prices for foreign coal and
many of them have been financially ruined

To Open Coal Fields

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 1.-THE House
land committee today began the hearing on the
bill introduced by Representative Ferris, of Okla
homa providing for the opening of the Alaska coal
lands. The bill, among other things, provides for
reservation by the government of 5000 acres of
coal land in the Boring river coal fields and 1850
acres in the Matanuska fields. This reserved
government coal land would be placed under the
presidents discretion. Coal could be mined from
these reservations for the government works in
connection with the construction and operation Of
the proposed government owned railroad in Alaska,
for the of the navy in the Pacific and at the
time would serve as check against any monopoly
being created.

THEATRICAL NOTES.


NEW YORK. Nov. 10.-"My La
dy's Dress" at William A. Brady's
playhouse, is observed by large assem-
bages of refinement to whom its
novel incidents and unique treatment
carry special appeal. Upon Miss
Mary Boland and Mr. Leon Yuarter-
maine fall the chief burdens OF the
drama with its several scenes laid In
various countries AMI calling fo-
widely varying characterizations. II
Is very rarely that a play Is produced
in which the range OF emotions COW

nearly the complete gamut is run.
There are tragedy and farce. high
comedy and squalid distress in its
passing. and the lesson sought by
the author need not be lost TO the
most ordinary perception. Mr.. Knob

the most significant stage offerings OF
recent years.
