Oil Freighter Makes New Record.

SAN FRANCISCO, March p. - The
freighter Santa Cruz steamed into port
recently from New York with what
Capt. A. Easton said was a new record
for the passage via the straits of Ma
gellan. From the time the vessel left
Sandy Hook until she slowed down off
Los Angeles harbor the engines were
run full speed without stop. The
distance is approximately $4,000 miles
and the time consumed was forty-seveI
days and four hours. The Santa Cruz

Consequently, there is every likelihood Of
the early passage of an Alaskan coal land
leasing law in some form. That intro
duced by Representative Ferris provides,
in effect for the leasing of the coal lands
of the territory to individuals or corpora
tons in areas not to exceed 1850 acres in
each case. and payment to the govern
ment Of cents for every ton Of coal
mined by them. Coal companies claim
that 2,56O acres is too small an area upon
which to operate a coal mine with profit
in the United States proper. This is be-
cause they must dig down several hun
dred feet to find a small strata of coal,
but in Alaska the deposits are compact

Full power is also given the chief magis-
trate or his duly designated assistants to
withdraw. locate or otherwise dispose of
as much public land, wherever found. as
may be needed for rights of way, termi-
nals etc. The act further demands that
all land patents made over to private
persons or corporations in the future
shall reserve to the United States 100 feet
on either. side of the center line of any
railway that it might choose to run
through the land and twenty-five feet on
either side of the center line Of any tele-
phone or telegraph lines.
All this takes the national government
into the business of building, owning and
operating railways, telephones and tele-
graphs. 1t is a small venture, but its ef-
feet on the future control of our vast net

Of communication may be great. By the
advocates of government ownership the
comparative ease in which the bill passed
both houses of Congress is regarded as
reflection Of the temper Of the people.
However, the bill empowers the President
to lease any of the lines or all of them,
together with the telegraph or telephone
systems, wholly or in part to private
parties. He may agree to terms ON his
own initiative, but no lease shall be for
more than twenty years. All private rail-
roads that may be confiscated will be paid
for at the physical valuation only. When
telegraph or telephone line should be
leased to private parties it will at once
