Officials of steamship companies op. erating to Alaska ports, and cannery. men of the North, have been protesting against the action of the navy depart ment in dismantlinR the government wireless station at Unalga. About two months ago, in the middle of the can. nery season, this station was aban- doned, navy department officers ex- plaining that more powerful station would be erected on St. Paul island, ia Bering sea. With the closing of the Unalga station the station at Kodiak is burdened with all of the business from Seward peninsula and the Aleutiau islands of Western Alaska. The large number of messages have caused the Kodiak station to get from three to four days behind in the handling ot wireless business, causing great incon' venience to steamship lines, with yes' sells plying to Nome, St. Michael, Kotz, ebue soond and ports in Western Alaska.
 A few years ago the idea of getting coal from Spitzbergen, one of the most desolate islands in the Arctic ocean, was a topic for romancers. Now it is fact of considerable moment in many of the worlds markets. A single com pany, financed chiefly by American capital, mined nearly 10000 tons of coal from Spitzbergen last year. The de- poslt of fuel in the Far North is said to be singuIarly easy to work. It comes in single seam about four feet thick, stretching along the coast for thirty miles. The surrounding rock is so solid that tim bering is not needed. The mperatUre is always below the freez. ing point in the present workings, which does away with the need of pumps. In fact, the only real difficulty is that of getting men--and motion pictures have gone far to solve that problem. For for every ton of coal in Spitzbergen there are ten in Alaska of at least an equal quality, closer to hungry market. The Arctic zone won't make a real dent in the f1el market till our big Northwest territory gets into action. Chicago Journal.
 A Fairbanks paper has the following; The day of the grizzled stage driver, the hero of so many trips over the long 400 mile trail between the coast and interior, is coming to a close.

Volney Richmond, super intendent in Alaska for the Northern Commercial Company, announced that his company, which holds the United States winter mall contract from the coast to the interior, has decided to replace the horse stages with automo. piles. Since 1903, when the first stage ran oyer the rough trail between Fair banks and Valdez, the stage drivers have been among the most picturesque figures of Alaskan winter life. la all kinds of weather, across mountain ranges and through oYeraows, they have taken the mails, express and passen- gers. Sometimes they have saved the lives of marooned mushers on the trails. Mr. Richmond announced that that the automobiles will come in this fall, for use during the winter.

 The territorial revenue law is work ing better than its authors believed that it would, according to Territorial Counsel J. H. Cobb. That it will pro duce more money than the legislature appropriated is the belief of both Mir. Cobb and Territorial Treasurer Wal stein c. Smith. Mir. Cobb thinks the Territorial income from taxes will amount this year to S200OOO or S225, ,OOO, which will probably be from S5O,OOO to s75,O 900 in excess of the expenditures under the appropriation bills. While Mr. Smith said that he had made no attempt to make any estimate, he thought it likely that Mr. Cobb's fig ures are not far out ofthe way.-Juneau Empire.
