ELECTRO-ENERGI

Secretary of the Interior
Franklin X. Lane mas stated
that there is running to waste
in the United States, including
Alaska, an amount of electro
energy to equal the labor of
1,S00.000,000 men.
Yes, and the day is near at
hand when all kinds of machin-
cry, in even the smallest of in
dustries in Alaska, will be u.s.
ing this energy. All steamboats,
and every railroad locomotive
in Alaska, within ten years,
will be speeding along, propell-
ed by this same energy. The
homes of Alaskans in towns
and hamlets and on thousands
of Alaskan farms will be users
of it.
Alaska has been blessed
with thousands of waterfalls,
and these will some day be
utilized toward the develop
ment of the country and for
the comfort and convenience of
Northerners. And where water
power is not available, but
where there is an abundance of
coal, Ignite and otherwise,
fuel will be used for the gen
Grafton of power. Through the
efforts of the secretary OF the
the interior, a process has been
evolved whereby Ignite coal
can be utilized where better
grades are not Obtainable. *-
The federal government at
Ottawa is utilizing electrO-en-
ergy, taken from Niagara falls
to Ottawa. where it is sold to
consumers. The transmission
lines extend even to Three
rivers. distance of 300 miles,
and there the energy is sold
at the reasonably low rate of
from three to four cents per
kiloWatt.
The G. VI. st. p. Ry., by the
end Of the coming year, will be
operating all its trains, pas
sen.er and freight, by electro
energy, from HarlowtOWn,
Montana. to Seattle, a distance
of more haan 800 miles.
The people of Norway are
investing millions of dollars
in the development of the
water power of that country.
They call the energy 'white
coal"
Alaska must not be backward
in development of electro-en-
ergy. And the people must be
the owners of it. We cannot
hope for full development of
our many resources until am
pie power is ample

The status of war veterans with
relation to the new insurance act
was made clear recently in a letter
written by Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo, in anwser to an in
quiry received from an old pension
er. The insurance bill does not hurt
or affect the old pensioners in any
way, he explained. 1t leaves them
undisturbed in the enjoyment of
the pensions they are receiving for
services rendered in previous wars.
"No one knows" wrote the secre-
tary, 'better than the old soldiers,
how unfair it is to leave the men
who go to war, to the uncertainties
and inequalities of legislation enact
ed long afterward, for the compen-
sation they ought to receive for
death and disabilities incurred in
the service. No one knows, better
than they, how cruel it is for the
government to make no provision for
the support of the dependent fami-
lies of it's soldiers and sailors when
they are called into service of their
country The act is intended to
prevent injustice to the sons of the
old soldiers and sons of all other
American citizens who go to this
war, by telling them in advance
of death or injury, what will be
done for them and their families
by just government. The bill was
so framed to make Unnecessary hap
hazard pension in the legislation in
the future"
