Lack of Laborers Holds Up
Production of Coke Plants

Connellsville, Pa. Oct. 5.-With
Connelslville coal for byproduct oven
uses commanding 50 a ton and with
furnace coke steadily approaching 81,
and the demand for both unabated,
every plant in the region would prob
ably be in operation if it were possible
to secure the required number of la
borers.
Relief was expected with the ap-
proaoh of cooler weather, but opera
tors declare the conditions show signs
of becoming worse instead of better.
The combined production of coal and
coke during the week reached 655,OO0
tons. of which 243. 900 tons was coal
for byproduct ovens.

 The calendar has again given the people of Alaska a chance to clarigy the atmosphere and start a rcriod of development; chance for the people to eliminate personal politics that has prevented the people from reapiug the full measure Of their oppor ,unity: chance to look forward toward the future with ts work and ;s promise of reward instead or backward toward destroying troubles and vengeance
 There is not a forward looking man who will look Che facts in the face but must not admit that

The death of former Senator Thomas McDon- ough Patterson of Denver removes from the theatre of life one of the really big men of the West Sen. ator Patterson was not only man of great ability but he possessed an imagination that permitted him to see the great possibilities of western development earlier than the average man, and that made him a very useful citizen to his state and the West ana enabled him Co amass a fortune for himself
 rom" Patterson was democrat in all that the term implies He always stood for control of govern ment by the mass of che people though he was often in the minority He was man of positive oehelS' and one who earnestly abored to have his ideas pre- vail and while he often felt that the people were their own worst enemies, he never sought victory for himsf or his ideas otherwise than through ureess orforts to convince the majority of the people
