and had already figured to a large extent upon it.
 We are ready to use 250,000 tons of Alaskan coal a year, and we will contract for that amount" Delegate Sulzer was told. But we. have to get assurance that the coal can be delivered, before we go to work and construct bunkers- We have taken up the matter with the railroad com mission and as soon as they can guarantee us that they can deliver that amount of coal at tidewater, we are willing to go ahead with our part of the bargain
 Delegate Sulzer has taken up with the Bureau of Mines, guided over by Director Van H. Manning, and with the Department of the Interior. the problem of hastening the devel opment of the coal fields. "The whole matter seems to hinge upon the it is being worked out" MT. Sulzer said today "The coal leases which the Department of the Interior is of
 fering to the coal miners and opera tors who want to invest money in , the new coal fields of the Matanuska are not entirely satisfactory, for they permit the Bureau of Mines to have complete control over questions of
 mining policy; to have the say in matters that may mean the success
 or failure of the mining enterprise.
 and men of capital are not willing to undertake the development of
 mines in a pioneer field with such
 restrictions attached to them"
 Mr Sulzer has taken up the mat ter with Secretary of the Interior Franklin K Lane and also with As sistant Secretary Bo Sweeney, of Se- attle, who is one of the best posted
 men in the Interior Department.
 Delegate Sulzer is also having the
 active cooperation of Senators Jones and Poindexter of Washington in the
 matter.

FURSMAN ID BE NEW DEPUTY
 MARSHAL

There has been a change in the of flee of United States deputy marshal ship at Cordova, but it will not become effective for thirty days, when Will liam l.. Fursman will relieve Sam Brightwell, who has been granted a leave of absence for that period. at the expiration of which time his con nection with the federal government ceases. In the meantime his success sor will be in charge of the office.
 Mr Fursman is well known to prac- I,tically every resident of COrdova, hay ing for years been in charge of the clothing department of the s. Blum & Go. store Shortly after Marshal Brenneman entered upon his first term he offered Mir. Fursman a de- putyship, which he later accepted and went to Nachnek, where he and his wife spent a couple of years. Our townsman rendered such satisfactory service to the westward that his chief promised him a better station in case of his reappointment. This Mir. Bren- neman recently received, and he inn mediately offered Mir. Fursman the Cordova office, which the latter ac- eepted
 In order that Brightwell might have an opportunity to take advantage of the thirty days vacation, on pay, that Uncle Sam allows all of his employees each year. Brenneman decided not to make the change here immediately. but instead to give BrightweH his leave of absence.
 In the early days of the town when there were few Democrats here, Furs- man was always loyal to that party and has been ever since. Besides being a good Democrat, he is a man of abil- ity and integrity, whose administra- ton of the affairs of the marshals office will be intelligently and eff ciently discharged.

PLACER 5 STR|kE NAMED AT TER
 KITCHENER
(By Associated Press)

DAWSON, Y. T., Oct. 9. - A new gold camp may be opened in Yukon shortly. Arrivals from the vicinity of Selkirk report that much stalking has been done on the newly discovered placer creeks of Seymour and Kitch- ener and tributaries. The locality has been christened unofficially the Kitch- ener creek strike. The merits of the creeks remain to be determined, but the prospects are said to be most en- couraging.
 Most of the stalking has been done on Seymour creek, which is under stood to have been staked a distance of eight miles. Kitchener creek has been staked to some extent and more stalking is under way there.
 One of the stakers claims to have got two cent pans in the gravel along Seymour for two to four miles. No one is reported having reached bed rock, so the depth is not known. The nearest points on the new creeks to the Yukon river is about p miles southwest of Selkirk. and little south from the old Dalton trail. They are tributaries of Big creek, and flow in from the southerly direction. Big creek flows into the Yukon on the left limit twenty miles south of Sel- kirk. Kitchener creek joins Big creek 35 miles above the mouth of Big. Seymour branches off from Kit chener a short distance from the junction of Kitchener and Seymour. Ellis is tributary of Seymour. Big creek carries a heavy volume of
 water. about twenty feet wide at the mouth, and is almost a small river. It rises we'll back of Selkirk and is paralelled by the Selwyn. on which gold prospects long have been known.

NON IN SESSION
 CORDOVA

The Presbyterian church, the oldest and the largest Protestant body doing missionary work in Alaska, will hold its annual meeting of Presbytery in Cordova this week. The first session will open this afternoon with the fol. lowing visiting ministers present: :: Rev. J. H. Condit, D. D., of Juneau. general missionary for all Alaska; Rev. J. l.. Mcbride, of Anchorage. chairman Of the home mission com mittee; and the local pastor, Rev. A. G. Shriver. Since its ministers are To- cated in the various fields entending from Cordova to Fairbanks, as as far north as Point Barrow, it makes it impossible for all the ministers to at tend these meetings.
 The Presbytern has a full docket of business to transact. New fields as well as old ones must be supplied with ministers. Recently Dr. J. II. Condit established the Rev. J. Dinen. D. D., at Nenana.
 At the Wednesday evening service both Dr. Condit and Rev. Mcbride will speak
 Thursday morning the Rev. J. H. Condit, D. D., and Rev. A. G. Shriver will leave for a visit to the missions at Chitina, Mccarthy and Kennecott, returning Sunday for the evening ser vice.
 The Rev. J. L. Mcbride will preach at The morning service. His many old friends will be glad to hear him.

ALASKAN NATIVE SEES SIGHTS
 ON COAST

SEATTLE, Oct. g. - A sixteen year old boy of good education, saw his first horse, his first automobile, his first street car and enjoyed his first ride in an elevator in this city a few days ago.
 He is Tony Joule, full blooded Els kimo, who arrived here with A. R. Hoare, a missionary from his home at Point Hope, Alaska, 1500 miles north of Nome. Tony was on his way to New Hampshire to atetnd an In- dian school.
 The Eskimos are suffering from the high cost of living, according to Tony. Flour, he said, costs $750 a sack of 50 pounds, but this would not be so bad had the price of whalebone in creased in proportion. Instead, whalebone has dropped until the Els kimos now get almost nothing for their efforts.
 Tony said that he was going to study and learn so that he can return to his people as teacher and protect them from selfish traders, who. he says, cheat them at every opportunity.

MILL YOU All I l
 RIDE WITH ...
 HILL s'ih EiS
 WINNER 1 1sz-zzss 4aaA

This auto contest shows some speed, 1t keeps the pubiic's eye in deed, and all the folks in this here town are pungling up and digging down to help some charmer win the, race and put a smile upon her face.
 l only wish that I could stay until that most eventful day. when they announce the winners name. may be wrong, but just the same. I bet she'd take me for a ride and Ford me OCT the countryside, of all Cordova's bell the queen, this winner of the buzz machine.
 And, say. the girl that wins this car, she will not have to look far. for beaus to try to win her hand. They'll flock around to beat the band, and she can have her choicest pick. and need not choose a Boob or Hick..
 So, boys, if you would win a home. you ought to heed this rambling poem, and enter in the game at once, and if SOu uoH | you are Qunce. Just choose damsel from the bunch and place your shekels on your hunch, and play the fair young thing to win and you'll find out, as sure as sin, you'll have a seat reserved for you within that auto bright and new. Your fu- ture life will be serene and scented up with gasoline.
 So this I give as good advice. If you would pick a winner nice, just rustic round and give her votes and get the other fellows goats, and on that first November day. your favored one will speed away, upon a chariot of tin and you can sit and hold her in.
 And so I wish-I surely do. that I could stay and see it through. But as I cant, l hope that she who wins the buzz machine, by Gee. will be the hap piest young queen that this world has ever seen.
