MINING ALASKA COAL

Seattle PostInteigencer)
 The Government railway has tapped two or three nroducing coal of Southwestern Alaska that are steadily improving in quality of output. Secre- tary Lane is quoted stating that the coal nelds already opened are larger and richer than the Gov ernment had anticipated Btumnous coal equal to the very good quality produced in West virginia mas been uncovered, and there anthracite helds yet to be reached Under the improved outlook the GoV- ernment is continue railroad construction, even though the expense of materials and labor IS very much higher than estimated, the theory that the saving to the navy in using Alaska coal Will more than repay increased of railroad construc- tion West Virginia navy coal now costs $14 to Slo per ton laid down this coast; Alaska coal of good quality can put board ship for $4 to $6 per ton
 The Alaska Railroad Record, published by the En- gneering Commission indicates three coal areas now bunkhouses a powder house and primer house have coal pocket for loading engines An office building has erected five of land have been cleared and cottages are under construction. Coal is being taken of the Martin coal bed, and 2905 long tons shipped to Anchorage last month At the Chick aoon mine crosscut is being driven and permanent improvements for mine operations being complet- ed Around each of these mines little community of schools business houses and cottages is growing 
 It will be the policy of the Government to open the mines and get to the coal rapidly as possible By late spring of next the Engineering Commission expects to be able to deliver coal in sub santial quantities to the navy. With $10 saving on each ton of coal delivered Alaska fuel will begin paying back to the Nation the substantial ad- vanced for the development work.

A BIG COUNTRY

 This is such big country of that when we get in touch with the familiar everyday life of munty at the farther end of it struck with the many diverstes of interest that exist within borders.
 For instance, American Commonwealth of which the Idaho Statesman, published at Boise Ida hO, the capital of the State. There is probably no American Commonwealth of which most of here in New England know less Just now every State is terest the war; but ordinarily each section the country goes about its own concerns with what is, to the philosophical observer, remarkable self-con centraton. We have not yet mastered the art of thinking nationally.
 Idaho, like her sister State of Washington main tans close relationship with Alaska. In New Eng land the ordinary mans knowledge of that distant Territory is meagre; in the Northwest Alaskan top ics always in the public view. We learn from the Idaho paper that two young Boise City women have gone to Klawack, Alaska, to teach in the Gov ernment schools. We forget how vast Alaska is until reminded of it's size by the report of murder trial at Seward in which the defendant comes from settlement Bristol Bay, region so remote that unless the trial to end by Monday of this week, at which time the last boat of the season fronted with the possibility of having to stay in Sew ard all winter. Some of the men," we are told might reach their homes by landing at Iliamna and making their way overland. but this would be i'm possible for the women there is no sled trail that route" Much evidently remains to be done in the development of Alaskan transportation.

THE BASEBALL CLASSIC

Few careful students of the record of the world s baseball championship series just will attempt to dispute that the best in the contest. and few followers of the baseball will question that the New York team is the strongest in the National League. It follows of course that judgment be that the American League is the faster of the two major leagues of professional baseball This judg- is borne by the history of the former classic contests between the two great leagues There have been fourteen contests between the pnnant winners of the American League and the pennant winners of the National and the Americans have nine of them and the National five In the last eight series the Americans have seven. and the only they lost of those all but unexplanable freak af- fairs which often characterize the game. where the Boston National entered the contest while play ing in streak of luck and with spirit that was far above normal The further fact that in nearly all of the post games for several years the tion. justifes the conclusion that the newer league is stronger than the National though the latter is the historic "old reliable" among American profes sional baseball combinations
 Prior 1885 the National League the cen ter the baseball world and it had had scarcely ri val for a dozen years more when the old American Association arranged for annual contest between its pennant winner and that of the National League The contest that year between the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Browns, and each team three games. The following year the American Association won the championship when the St. Louis Browns defeated the Chicago Cubs. That the only vic tory, however by the Association. though there another tie in 1890 when the Louisville team of the National League and the Brooklyn team of the American Association each three games

Wholesale fish dealers are re-

charge the retailers an exorbitant
figure, although the fish can be
purchased a II and 2 cents a
pound on the Columbia river.
This was Mayor Fawcett's opin-
ion Monday after an investigation
of fish prices in Tacoma.
1.-THE very same wholesalers
who are offering to sell smelt to
New York at 4 cents pound are
charging more than that to the
retailers here" said Fawcett. "As
a result, the public is stuck for a
high price, and the wholesalers
are getting fat from the run OF
fish,"
Smells dropped from IAN to
10 cents q pound Saturday after
noon and went even lower Mon
