Can you beat it.
 ' In the hearings on the bill, Delegate Sulzer offered an amendment which would permit the existing claims to
 be developed and patented, and would not penalize man for his past work. But this right Is denied Alaska. while it is granted to Wyoming and other states.
 The government appears to be deter mined not to encourage the develop ment Of Alaska, but to prevent it.
 For more than 20 years the people of Alaska have sought to secure some of the millions of acres of its coal land. but the government has steadily frus. trated all attempts to do so.
 This bill is the seventh time con gress has legislated upon the subject of Alaska coal lands, but all to do pur. pose. As an example of government Inefficiency or dishonesty, 1t is pro- bably unparalleled. If the coal laws of Alaska had been written. consid- cred and passed in a lunatic asylum. hey could not have been worse. For wenty years the territory has been Obliged to import all the coal and fuel

GOVERNMENT TIES UP RESOURCES OF AT ASKA
PLACES UNFAIR RESTRICTIONS ON COAL AND OIT [ ANnS

Copies of the latest bill for the dis. posal of the public coal and oil lands have just been received from Wash hgton. It is Senate Bill No. 2S12, and was recently reported for passage by the senate committee on public lands.
 It offers no comfort for Alaska. On the contrary, it shows a deliberate dis. crimination against this territory. The bill proposes to lease the coal lands in the western states on terms some what similar to the Alaska coal leas- ing law, but it also offers an applicant the right to purchase the coal land in stead of leasing it if he so prefers. This right to purchase coal lands is expressly refused in Alaska That this was not an oversight, but was delib- crate and intentional, is proved by the fact that the delegate from Alaska MT. Sulzer, appeared before the com mittee and pleaded that Alaska be given the same rights as are to be giv- en the western states. The bill as re- ported shows his plea was denied.
 Because of it's great natural diff culties it would seem that Alaska might reasonably expect a little more
The Cordova daily times., 1917-09-14

liberal treatment than the western
 states. All it asked, however. was to
 be treated the same as the rest of the
 country. Even this measure of justice
 is denied.
 Under the terms of this bill a man can buy coal lands in Colorado, Mon tana or Washington but is refused the same right in Alaska. In refer ence to oil lands. the bill shows even more shameless discrimination against Alaska. Under the terms of the bill. section 16, man holding an existing location, in Wyoming for instance. and IS preparing to develop it. has the right to continue such development and secure a patent for the claim. In Alaska, under exactly similar condi- tions, an oil claimant cannot have a patent at all, but must be content to take a lease and pay the government of his output as royalty. He is denied even this right unless he shall have spent at least $1 900 on lis claim. In Wyoming he need not lave spent anything and may have patent In Alaska he must spend $1.- poo. and then get only lease!

WORLD'S SERIES IF BALL TQ BE
 PLAYED
(By United Press

NEW YORK. Sept. IA. - Ernie Shore, no-hit artist of the Red Sox. navy, added just one more S to i' the @ cofe 1'if tributions baseball is making to the national fighting forces from Boston Following the lead of Hank Gowdy, star catcher of the Braves, when he enlisted in the Ohio national guard Rabbit Maranville said he would en- ter the navy, and other members of the National league club are said to be ready to take the plunge.
 Chick Shorten and Jack Barry are enrolled in the navy, Shorten as a yeo. man and Barry in the reserve. Others are contemplating the step.
 Baseball is giving its young men without murmur. Leon Galore, the brilliant young pitcher of the Dodgers, was examined and accepted short time ago for the national army. He only smiled and said he was ready. His spirit, while not typical entirely depicts the general feeling of ball players toward service They have been taking it all very seriously, and the younger ones have expressed willingness to begin service at once The draft is going to be along in time to hit the worlds series pretty hard It doesn't seem probable that the gov ernment would allow the players 1t takes to reamin at their work until the seasons are over. In fact, Ban Johnson, president of the American 1 league, and John K. Tener, president of the National league, have declared on more than one occasion that base ball neither expects nor wants fayors of that sort.
 Among the White Sox there are cer. tain to be vacancies in the lineup if that team goes into the series and there probably will be even more among the Red Sox The Giants have number of young players eligible. The worlds series will be played re- gardless of what happens. Ban John son, Gov. Tener and Garry Hermann, the three outstanding figures in the l national game, are convinced the pub lis wants it's baseball the remainder of the year, with special emphasis on the worlds series. The presidents son for discontinuing sports of any kind, including baseball, has given the sport new life, with the certainty of continuance even if men gone from the game have to be brought back into action.

 Of coal and oil lands lay untouched.
 Sometimes cargoes of coal have been

The consumption of oil is over six hundred thousand barrels a year. Now the California oil fields are being fast depleted and fuel oil is growing scarcer and higher. while freight rates on both oil and coal pro. mise soon to be prohibitive.
 The coal leasing law forced upon Alaska three years ago. against the protest of it's delegate. has proved in operative. One small tract was leased but the parties gave it up. So inc government is now operating a coal mine at it's own expense to get coal to operate the engines on it's railroad Other railroads continue to imnort coal and oil to run their engines. and all coal and oil for domestic uses must ilso be imported, while progressives

Moreover, in the states If he discov

 ficient to support his application for a
 patent, while in Alaska, under this
 remarkable bill, his discovery must
 be made by we'll to entitle him to a lease. This condition applies only to
 Nlaska, and was never written or known in any oil law before. Tn ef- feet, the bill proposes to protect oil claimants in all the states 9nd allow them to perfect their titles to existing claims, and secure patent therefor while in Alaska it proposes to iegls- late similar claims out of existence.
 There is just one patented oil claim of 16O acres in all Alaska. There are 40 or 50 other locations which the par ties have held for years and spent thousands of dollars toward their de velopment. Title to all these claims Will be destroyed if this bill passes, The patented claim has six small wells on 1t. By the terms of this bill one may get a permit to prospect 25Ga acres of oil lands provided it lays more than 20 miles from a producing we'll. If oil is discovered on it the

 The poilu kisses his eomrade. some times on both cheeks. to show his ad- miration. The American trooper some. how prefers the old hand clasp with a firm pump handle movement.
 A war reporter who has been kissed by whiskered French soldier, allows that he would rather shake hands if he meets many more.

FRENCH BARRAGE. FIRE HAS BEEN
 PERFECTED
(By United Press)

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES. Sept 1S. The French artillery bar rage fire now has been perfected to that the Germans, in order to -feep iih communication with their lines back of the barrage, have been forced to adopt the expedient of enclosing their messages in a grenade or a shell and firing it through the barrage.
 In the early part of the war. the Ger mans used the system of running back field telephones from the advancing troops. When these lines were coh- stantly cut by shell fire, efforts were made to run the lines underground. But here again the French high ex- plosive shells were developed to a de- gree where the lines could not be con veniently buried at a depth beyond their reach.
 Wireless telegraphy has since been tried by the Germans, together with low flying aeroplanes. while the use of individual soldiers who endeavored to run back through a barrage with messages are likewise to prove both too costly from the point of view of human life and of uncertainty as to the eventual arrival of the message.
 Germany's new system of endeavor- ing to shoot back her communications with trench mortars and trench can non has only recently been hit upon. The grenades or shells in which the messages are enclosed are referred to in the German orders as nachrichton- geschosse" or ''projectiles for mes sages."
 , The lde-wurfgranaten," or mes sage carrying bombs" are fired from the 1916 model of mechanical trench grenade thrower This his range of about 600 yards, and is counted upon for maintaining communication be- tween the first line and the command CTS of battalions and regiments, who under the German system. always re- main at the rear of the advancing and fighting troops.
 The second class used, the "loichte- nachrichtenmine" or message carry ing shells" are to be fired from the "minenwerier," or trench mortar for firing torpedoes. These have a range of about 1900 yards and with them the Germans hope to keep up their com mmieations through the French bar rage fires between the battalion and regimental commanders in the rear of the advancing troops and the artil' lery, brigade and divisional headquar' ters still farther to the rear Ac, cording to the German orders that have been found the distribution of these message carrying grenades and shells to the troops on the western | front began about June 1.

 There is a large lunatic asylum in the vicinity of Washington, known as St. Elizabeth. It is respectfully sug- gested to congress that if 1t will not heed the delegate from Alaska nor al. low the people of Alaska through their own legislature to make and admin ister their own laws, that it refer the subject Of Alaska coal and oil lands to the inmates of St. Elizabeth's luna- tic asylum for both legislation and administration. It is very certain St. Elizabeth would not handle the matter any worse than it has been done. and the subject will there at least be free from contemptible politics. The peo- pie Of Alaska may still be able to inl- port their fuel and hope for some gieam Of sanity within another twenty years. which is all they can do now.
