 eve find the members of the flask an Engineering Commission vigorous ly interested in building up business for the government railroad and in the opening of the coal fields" said Com pertz. Chairman Edes assured us that the road will be ready to handle 10000 tons per day, in answer to our inquiries as to traffic between the field and tidewater.
 "Our plans include the mining of the coal, transportation from tide water south and marketing. The handling of coal between the fields and tidewater on this coast is entirely with the gov ernment railroad. Bunkers are rather out of date and we expect the govern ment will arrange to handle the coal with travelling cranes and a conveyor." ,"
 Both men have heard all about the merits of delivering coal from rail to ship at the head of Cook Inlet. They stated that Andrew Christiansen was very enthusiastic over the harbor pos abilities of Anchorage, and minimized the ice conditions.
 "The coal should be handled in the most economical manner possible, from a port that is open all the year round," said Gompertz.

SHORTAGE OF OIL OF PALM, SOAPLESS
 BATHS POSSIBLE

Uncle Sam says we must cut down on the use of soap. Soapless baths are an immediate prospect as the re- suit of the shortage of palm oil. Eng land has promised to send us small quantity from British West Africa in return for shipments of glycerine from the United States as soon as the ship ping board can find the tonnage. But most of this oil will go to the can ming industry, where it is required to make the tin plating stick to the cans to prevent rust.
 Soap prices are just about out of sight.
