ALASKAN Waste
Large, HE SAYS
DR.. Jones Declares Govern
ment oses Enough on Coal
Bill to Buy City.
CORPORATION IS GAMER
Director of Coast and Ceodetic Sur
vey Tells in Lecture of Alaska's
Possibilities.

Uncle Sam Is wasting more money on
his coal bill in Alaska every two years
than 1t would cost him to buy the Alas
kan city Of Dutch Harbor. All of the
gold dollars that the government of
throwing away go to swell the Golfers of
the already rich private corporation that
owns the city of Unalaska.
These are statements of DR.. f. Lester
Jones. director of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey. in lecture
last night at Hubbard Memorial Hall.
DIR. Jones revealed the little secret
about the swastase in Uncle SANS coal
bill before an audience that included
Secretary Of Comerce Redfeld. Secretary
of the Navy Daniels. Senators Chart-
berlain and Swanson. and two score of
government officials, who are Alaskan
experts" DIR. Jones recently returned
from Alaska after a six months inves-
tigation of conditions for President Will
son and Secretary of Commerce Red
field.
DR.. Jones explained how Australian
tramp steamers dump a couple OF thous-
and tons OF coal on the dock at Unalas ska
and collect 50 a ton from the company
that owns Cnalaska. Then he told how
the coal is transferred from the dock to
the holds. of government steamers Snd
how Uncle Sam pays the company 81. 70
profit of s3..5 on each ton of coal
landed on its dock.
There is wastage in other ways" de-
clared DR.. Jones. THE government has
to buy provisions from the corporation.
and because Unalaska is a government
base the government has to pay high
rents. On the money thrown away by
this government every twenty-four
months in Unalaska we could buy the
entire city of Dutch Harbor, a couple of
miles away, and establish 1t as a real
government base and a model Alaskan
city.
City for Sale.
THE city has been entirely abandoned
by the North American Commercial Com
pany, and there is for sale sign on it.
| believe we could get Dutch Harbor for
the triie Of about 100000. and that would
be a bargain for future generations to
crow over for Yankee shrewdness. The
coal now used by the ships of the Coast
and Geodetic Survey. the Bureau of Fish
cries. the Lighthouse Service, and the
Coast Guard now is bought from the
company at Unalaska."
The lecture was the first delivered by
DR.. Jones since his return from Alaska.
He exhibited 20 of the 800 picture slides
that he procured and 400 OF the 1900
feet of motion pictures.

entering upon the consideration of the
case with an open mind. and it will be
several days before any decision IN the

ton whatever additional light they
could.

COMMUTERS WIN BIG POINT.

That the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road will concede to the commuters
of its Metropolitan branch a reduction
of as much as 10 cents in some cases
in the tariffs which are to be filed
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today asking for the restora-
ton of the two-day ticket to points
along the commuters line. was stated
yesterday at the local Offices of the
company.
District Passenger Agent Hege ex-
planned that it had been discovered
that a rule of the company was vio-
lated in abolishing the two-day ticket.
The rule provides that in this part of
the country no round-trip rates shall
exceed 5 cents per mile.
