HOTEL FIRE AT ST. MICHAEL
 INDIRECT CAUSE OF STRIKE

Passengers reaching here during the week from the Yukon report that a strike of longshCremen has been in progress for some time and that the company has been SCOUT ing the river in an effort to obtain natives to take the places of the strikers.
 According to the stories circulated on the Yukon, the companys hotel, bunk houses and boarding house at St, Michael were de stroyed by fire on July 17, the coniagration being caused by an inexperienced mans han ding of the fuel oil in the kitchen of the boarding house. The fire occurred at a. m., and the employees escaped with nothing but their night clothes, everything being de stroyed
 The longshoremen, who are said to be receiving the munifcent stipend of S6O per month, demanded that the company pro vide them with new outfits of clothing which demand was refused and the strike resulted.
 Local shippers report that so far there has been no evidence of delay in the receipt of shipments up the river.

PLEA FOR DEVELOPMENT
 MADE BY DELEGATE SULZER

WASHINGTON, June 14-Delegate Charles A. Sulzer of Alaska yesterday made a vigorous appeal for the development of Alaskas cCal and oil lands at hearing be fore the senate committee on public lands. The hearing was attended by all the mem bers of the committee. and was in relation Walsh of Montana, providing for the mining of coal, phosphate, oil, gas, potassium and sodium on the public domain.
 Immediate development as the paramount necessity was emphasized by Alaska's rep resentative in congress during his testimony. More liberal leases by the government to those seeking to develop the resources of the territory, in view of the pioneer condi- tions, were suggested by him as a remedy for the leth&rgy now existing In regard to oil and coal conditions in Alaska.
 'In the emergency which confronts the country at this time,' said Delegate Sulzer in opening his testimony, T think that all who are thoroughly familiar with condi- tons existing in the territory of Alaska realize that the resources of Alaska are of vital importance in the prosecution of the war The exports of Alaska consist prlnci- pally of food fish products, copper ore and the rarer metals, all of which are of great importance in the war"
 The delegate asked specifically for a larger leasing area in both coal and oil leases so that capital could be induced to come into the fields and expend the money necessary to develop a paying and produc- tive mine or well. He also asked for less restrictions in an operating lease.
 "A man should be given more liberal con sderation in order to induce him to come into Alaska" he said, land take the risks involved in developing an entirely new coun- try The conditions existing in the coal areas are largely problematical; there are faults and various geological phases which have not been thoroughly demonstrated and q person engaged in developing an enterprise of that kind should have more liberal treat ment, according to my idea, than one oper- sting in known and developed field
 "The interests of the government should be protected but the management of a coal mine in a pioneer field must be accorded more latitude and discretion than in field where all the conditions have been thor oughly demonstrated Otherwise people will not undertake to make the necessary investments. The Alaskan coal fields are very extensive, and it is extremely important in this emergency that the laws and regu- lations be such as to induce immediate and adequate development"
 Mir Sulzer based his main argument for the necessity of opening the oil fields on the acute situation that is developing be- cause of the great demand for the oils of the California fields for war purposes. He said the fishing industry asf Alaska was i'm. periled because of the lack of gasoline and distillate for the operation of the fishing boats
