Thinks It About Time That Alaska Should Be Allowed to Develop
 Some.
NEEDS OF TERRITORY
Says Capital Is Frightened Away by the Restrlc- tions Existing in
 Alaska.

Secretary Lane devotes 8 great deal of attention to Alaska in his annual report and again emphasizes the need of remedial legislation to allow the resources to be opened and utilized. For instance, he says:
 One of the insistent needs of the Territory is a greatly increased pop ulation-one that will be attached to the soil, so to speak. While the greater proportion of the popula- tion of Alaska is undouptedly per manent, there is on the other hand a floating population attracted by the opportunities that are consider ed better than elsewhere. The Ar gonaut fared forth to explore new lands and to make a stake, then re- turned to his former domicile. Many, however, remained and be- came founders of new States and the builders of towns and cities, and history of that kind is repeat ing itself in Alaska. A permanent population has been established, though the process has been slow. Alaska's white population today probably is not much in excess of 5O,O00-a mere handful of people, when the size of the Territory and the vast and varied natural re- sources are taken into consideration. The Scandinavian Peninsula sup ports a population of 10000, 1000 or more; it's natural resources are in no way comparable with those of Alaska. Climatic conditions are similar, but Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, as we'll as Finland, were old countries when the North Allan

SUFFERING f
for Coal
~
Local Dealers Holding
Tons While Many Peo-
pie Are i'm Distress Be-
cause of Lack of Heat
In Their Homes.

With hundreds of families
suffering for want of coal ac-
cording to the chairman of the
local fuel committee several
coal dealers are holding up
coal in large quantities on the
claim that they require it to
fill old contracts. The dealers
are holding fuel so they may
in the future deliver coal to
people who order months in adj
vance.
The fuel committee claims that
dealers are doing everything In their
power to help. in the distribution of
coal, but according to reports from
local people today the dealers refus-
ed orders for coal in spite Of the fact
that many tons have been received in
the city during the past few. days.
The board held a lengthy meeting
today and discussed plans for holding
a public hearing some day next week,
probably in the Common Council
chamber. City Hail. Chairman Sic
mon said today that the exact time
had not been decided but it would be
announced tomorrow and all persons
interested, including dealers and con-
sumers. would be invited to attend.
Chairman Siemon declares that the
dealers are cooperating with the
board and are doing all that is rea-
sonable to help relieve the situation.
He states that there is no boarding
he ~ he I..k
are holding up anthracite to be de1iv-
cred on contracts made last May and
June. One dealer, who has more
than 1000 tons in his bins, was be-
fore the board today. He declared
that he needed every ounce of 1t to
supply his own trade, but said If he
got more next week. as he expected,
he would gladly turn some over to
the board.
The board will prevail upon ether
dealers to release contracts made
during the summer and deliver COM
promise amounts to the consumer
until relief is obtained. Many deal
ers have already signified a willing
ness to comply with the boards re-
quest and Chairman Sienon express
ed hope today that 1t would become
a reality.
The minimum selling price about
the city is $3.50 a ton, but some deal
ers are charging $40.
In, describing the conditions Sic
mon said: 1--WE hear of hundreds OF
cases of families who have not one
cob of coal in their houses and are
burning wood or anything else to
keep themselves from freezing to
death, They are the people who we
want to give Immediate relief. The
coal dealers will not take advantage
of the situation and no, doubt will dc
all they can to help US.
'1The soft coal shortage 10 nearly
as bad said Siemon, land we are
working on that, too"
