 Aside from his opportunities for fatherlng diplomatic gossip" he was an almost constant visitor 10 New York. During theso visits he held many mysterious conferences and it is assumed that he frequently met men who were aiding in his anu-Amcrican propaganda.

CONGRESS AND ALASKA COAL

The statement issued by Falcon Joslln on his rcturn from Washing ton would cause tho average mind to wonder 1T congress is really rcs- ponslblc organization. Their treat mcnt Of Alaska would not bear out the theory that its course of reason ing is actuated by any principle of common sense, or by any law either human or divine. With abundance of oil in the territory the country is compelled to import over GOO.OOO barrels annually, because congress seven years ago withdrew an oil lands from entry. With millions Of tons of the finest coal for all pur- poses. including navy coal, congress refuses to pass workable coal lease that will open up this coal and, ac- cording to Mir. Joslin, is today spending S40.OOO a week in freight transporting coal from West V!r- ginia for the use Of tho navy on the Pacific coast.

A FIGHTING PIONEER

Some Of the very, very oldtImcrs In Alaska will probably remember Capt. C. H. Morrison. He came Co Alaska by the stickine route in 1862. For many years he prospocted over Alaska. He went as far as the head waters of the Mackenzie, though this was years after his first northern venture. For awhile he ran a trad Ing post at the place now called Ketchlkan. He saw Alaska pass from Russia to America. For many years he lived at Port Townsend, where he was harbormaster for 20 years. He wears upon his breast the ribbon and.medal of the Crimean war. He is S4 years old and has a grandson and two great-grandsons, now fighting at tho front. But what we started to say is that Capt Nor rlson presented himself for enlist ment in the service of his country the other day and was hopping mad when they refused Co accept him. Anchorage Times,
