ALExANoER PREDICTS
 GOOD TIMES IN NORTH

within two years tho activity re- suitinG from the opening of che Alas ka coal fields, the settlement of the vast valleys Of Alaska and the proiec- ton or great mining propositions viii astonish the Pacific Coast
 This was the prediction made by F. F. Alexander. president of the Pa cific Alaska Navigation Company op- erating the Admiral line. while dis cussing the effect Of the navy depart ments tests Of Alaska coal. The tests showed chat tho coal meets the most rigid requirements of the navy Alex. ander lad stress on the fact that the success. of the tests means more than a great source of fuel supply for the United States navy.
 "The tests" he said, place at the disposal of the government a coal supply without limit Few persons realize the significance of the navy de- partments announcement that Che tests had fulfilled every requirement.. It means that the government ships on the Pacific. together with the house wives and others using coal win be independent of all other supplies.
 "The tests show that the 3iatanus. ka coal fields possess a better coal than that now being used on the nav al vessels in the Pacific and the sup ply is so abundant that there never need be any scarcity The depart ments announcement means that good and cheap fuel will be brought to Seattle and other Coast cities. ItI means that manufacturers using coal will have better and cheaper fuel than ut present
 Although it is not generally known, it is Q fact that the Alaska fields possess a vast supply of anthracite which will be delivered here att rate not to exceed S2 above the price paid in New York
 Large quantities Of eoking coal arei also deposited there and this is of. great importance to manufacturers who now deDend upon the expensive supplies obtained from the Atlantic Coast and elsewhere. The coking possibilities mean Che projection of vast mining propositions in the Broad Pass country.

ALAsKA,s NEW YEAR.


 When the next number Of The Cit. zen is issued. this year will have pas sed into history and 1915 will be a reality. The Citizen extends to all of its readers and in fact to all Alaskans everywhere, its best wishes for happy ana prosperous year.
 Tho new year will be the most promising of all the years of Alaskan history, for according to present in- dications the first actual work of gov- ernment construction will start this year and the coal mines will be lens ed and in all probability will be mined before the year ends This Initial constructive work on the new railroad can be expected to bring to Alaska 8 new era of prosperity for home seekers and investors Invariably fol- low the iron trails wherever they are built
 In the beginning of l9l4 Alasas future was m uncertainty. It was known that an eniort would be made to pass the railroad bin, but there was no assurance that 1t would bel adopted and there was much reason to fear that it would be defeated when put to a vote
 If the railroad bill had not been adopted Alaska would certainly have had before her dark and hopeless future for the. richest placers had been worked out and withou, better transportation facilities tho low-grade ground would have been Yalueless. Agriculture In the interior would have been an imDossibility without a rail- road and Che country would have been certain to SO backward instead of forward.
 But everything has worked out for the best as for as Alaska is con- ccrned. and the people who are here iu advance Of the assured prosperity have the best opportunity to profit by it.
 lt is said that opportunity knooks onee at every miners door and cer tainly 1t is about to knock at the door of every resident of interior Aias6a If he does not make the most of t. 1t ishis own fault and moi that Of the country (Fairbanls citieen)

THE DRAMA REVIVED
 IN FRENCH CAPITA


 PARIS. Dec. 2O.- Correspondence of the United Press)--It cannot be said that the first performance of lhe Theatre Francais and the Opera Comlque marked the revival Of the theatre in Paris. Many things conn bined to make the success Of the sea son problemaio, aside from the heavy weight of war. Transportation facili- ties are still reduced and the early closing regulation makes late hours incopyenient in consequence, for the present. amucemonts will be mostly confined to benefit motineos, and these. il may be said have had a real success
 At the Opera comiQue one of the most interesting and successful at- fractions Of the 6rst performance was the presence Of a number of wounded officers and soldieri In the place Of honor in the presidential box When Monsieur Cheusi director of the Opera Comlque. asked President Poincare for the authorization to accord the wounded soldiers the presidential cerc. monial and the presidential box. the President replied
 'It Is, indeed, the least that can bel cone for them"
 Officers Enthusiaetlo.
 As soon as the officers were per ceived in the box they provoked a delirious burst of enthusiasm and from all parts of the house the Mar seiliaise was called for The program however, followed it's course, and the first orchestral number gave rise to a curious error.
 Everyone supposed from tho first strains that it was the servian Ma. tional Hymn and jumped to their feet crying: Long Live Servial" It was the overture of the "Black Domino The audience had satisfaction, how ever, when Mademoiselle Chenal ap peared, draped in the three colorsi tol sing the Marsellaise.
 A great many demands have been made for the production of the patri- otic piece "Patrie" at the Theatre Francais. with MounetSully in the leading role, aud it is booked for as early a presentation as the difficulties of staging 1t win permit The trouble is the lack of machinists and the com 1 plicated setting of sudou's important work
 Inevitable Happens.
 or course the inevitable has hap pened. The name Of King Albert, the popular hero Of the War. has been placed under contribution by amuse- ment enterprises and other iustitu- tions, and in some cases with rather doubtful propriety Paris now has It's Theatre Albert | and in this case the of the name has its reason, ] as the company is composed of Bei-i gian refugees, and the pieces pre.i sented are mostly of Belgian origin.
 All of the national matinees to take place here will have the cooperation of the Concert Society of the con under tho direction Of Mon sleur Andre Megsoger former ad- of the Opera.
 At the Opera Comigue a special and very successful representation for thc benefit Of victims Of the war was given the 13th with ''La Yiyandireg ] as the principal attraction. Made moisele Delna, who created the part Of Marion appeared in the role of Ia Viyandiere
