tural resources. It always has been the expressed fear of those in charge of the disposal of its public lands that the great treasures of the territory would fall into the hands of the predatory rich. So careful have they been, and so strict. the laws and regulations en- acted, that the development of the country has been stopped almost entirely.
 The leasing bill under which 1t now is possible to operate AL aska coal lands is the most lib- eral yet in force in the north. yet jt apparently is not liberal enough to attract the attention of big capital, or there would be more leases in operation or at least more applications would have been made.
 The Walsh bill is supposed to be more liberal than the laws now in force. The Times, to date, however, has not had the opportunity of reading the terms of the bill, and until such an opportunity is afforded, is unable to form an opinion as to it's desirability. However, lib erality is what is wanted, and if it can be shown that the Walsh bill is more liberal than the terms of the law now in force, every effort should be made to have the bill when it becomes law apply to Alaska.

THE WALSH BILL.

On account of the great fuel shortage on the outside the government is taking strenu- ous action to increase the pro- duction of coal to such an ex- tent that the supply will equal the demand.
 One of the measures design ed to increase the production of coal and fuel oil, is the Walsh bill, drawn, it is said, along lines of great liberality as regards the government coal and oil fields of the United States. For some reason the coal and oil fields of Alaska were not included in the bill, and every chamber of com merce on the coast of Alaska has petitioned congress to al low the fields of Alaska to be taken up under the same terms as are permitted in other parts of the country.
 Probably one reason the lands in Alaska were not in cluded in the Walsh bill is be- cause we now have in force a leasing law under which coal lands may be mined. This law it is claimed by some, is all that is to be desired, and 1t is assert ed the fields tributary to An chorage will reach their maxi mum development under the terms of this law.
 The law as it stands may be just, 1t may be liberal and if eventually may allow the full est development in this terri tory. The fact remans, how ever, that although it has been in force for two years and the nation is facing the greatest emergency in it's history, the gravity of which is greatly in creased by the scarcity of coal, there now is working in the Matanuska coal fields only one lease, and no coal from that lease yet has appeared on the local market
