 Uses.

 Situation.

Mir Evans trip was arranged for by Thomas Riggs, jrr 1f thr Alaska Railroad Engineer ing Commission. As a consulting engineer Mir. Evans will also report his observations to the Bureau of Mines.
 "The coal in the Ncnana field is Ignite and it is well known that lgnites are extremely difficult to store because Of rapid dislntergra- tion on exposure to air." said Mir. Evans last night Ut is necessary therefore to study the needs of the various districts that are now pay ing high prices for wood, and to evolve the most economical manner of burning the llgnitos. Studies will be made to see if large cen tral produccr-gas plants, or smaller plants using the coal in either powdered form or as briquettes, will be best"
 Mir. Evans has studied the Boring River and Matanuska Coal fields for the government as well as for private capital He has also studied the principal coal fields of the Pa cihc Coast.
 In discussing his present trip, Mir. Evans spoke of the great inter- ,st the Director of the Bureau of Mines, Van II. Manning, has taken in the mineral development of Alas ka. Mir.

Juneau Is Greatly Amused and Is COntemptuOuS on Account of
 SCOIding.
WICK FORGED TO FIGHT
Delegate Finally Acted on the Appropriation for Juneau when MCAdOO
 Prod0ed Him.

The letter of Delegate James Wickcrsham 10 Mayor B. D. stewart scolding the people of Juneau whom he accused of not aiding him in se- curing the passage of the bill ap- propriatng additional funds for the Juneau capitol building, and claim ing credit for securing thc original appropriation for the building amounting to s2OO, ,OOO, created a feeling of mingled contempt and amusement The general sentiment seemingly. was that it was a Cheap bid for personal favor.
 A summary of the actual facts as brought out in discussions, is:
 "ln the first place the Alaska capitol building appropriation was secured by Gov. Walter D. Clerk, through Senator Warren of Wyc;n- ing. In the next place the request for additional funds came from Al- aska. It was not until Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo called Delegate Wickershams at tention to the circumstance that the Alaska Legislature had memor- ialized Congress for an additional sum of S5OO,OOO for the Juneau building, stated that it was the judgment of the Department that there should be appropriated S45O,- 900 additional for it, and asked him what he was going to do about 1t that Wic6ersham introduced the bill at all.
 "ln other words the action that got the Secretary of the Treasury interested was taken in Juneau, and it was not until the Secretary of the Treasury got after Wickersham that he became interested.
 Monumental Joke.
 "The boast of Wickersham's ac- tiylties at Washington in behalf of Alaska has become a monumental joke. The fact is, and Delegate Wickersham has admitted it doz. ems of times, he is not acquainted with more than small fraction of the United States Senators and Rep. resentatives. and he does not try to get acquainted with them. He has not met a President of the 1 United States since he became Del egate to Congress and is not ac quainted with half of the Cabinet members.
 People returning from Washing ton quote Senators, CongressmeI and Administration officials as say ing that the Delegate from Alaska is not on the job and rarely seek' aid for Alaska from anybody. H' seldom brings matters up before the committee on Territories.
 Twice he was severely calico down by the chairman of the com mittee on Territories for sayinl that he had been endeavoring to SC cure action on certain matters ant had been unable to do so. 0n' time the chairman told him that thu
