SED|T|OUS TALK RESULTS TWO
 ARRESTS

The federal officials of this division have begun an active campaign to round up all persons who are spread ing the pro-German propaganda in Al aska. The first ones gathered in the drag-net were Joe Janey and Bob Schmith, who were placed under ar rest last night by Deputy Marshal Fursman, upon information filed against them by District Attorney Munley, who is now in Cordova. They are charged with seditious talk, in which they stated that in the pres ent war the kaiser was right and the United States wrong; also their op- position to the work of the Red Cross. This talk has extended over period of two weeks. They were formerly employed at the City bakery, where IL IS dllcS0u Iudl lflOSt O1 tue S6ulllOuS talk took place, while they were work ing on the night shift and the pro- prietors were not present, AS soon as the facts became known Messrs. Hartwig- s&-4 Kiesling cooperateds with the federal authorities and rendered them valuable service in securing evi- dence against the men. which result ed in their being placed in custody.
 Janey and Schmith are at present in the federal jail and their cases have been reported to the attorney general at Washington, who will determine whether they shall remain here for the period of the war or be sent Out side to an internment camp.

JUSTICE.

Considering the fact that there has been some little talk of late relative to the loyalty of the prOprieuors of the City Bakery I desire to inform the public that after a thorough mvesti gation these gentlemen have proven their loyalty and are imbued with the American spirit to an. extent which would be commendable in native born son. These gentlemen are worthy of respect and this notice is printed that they may not be the victims of an injustice.

NAVY BUILDING "A NEW
 BOATS
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Dec 19.-Secre- tary Daniels was the first witness summoned before the house naval subcommittee designated to investi- gate the navy's war activities. Dan- iels gave a general review of what the navy is doing but avoided dis closing facts valuable to the enemy. He said the navy was building four hundred and twenty-four important ships, but declared that the greatest problem was furnishing gun crews to merchantmen. He said he was very proud of the way the navy met the test of war and was glad to have the public know of it's activities.

 Governor Strong, in his annual re- port, pays the following tribute to the prospector:
 Thorough prospecting is thing in- in a mining country. To the pioneer prospector is due the dis covery of many of the great mines that have made the western United States notable in mining history. Tue. prospector is essentially a creature of the wanderlust He has reft his mark in many mining regions of the world. In many states Of tkc west he may still be seen, usually with his burro and pack, traversing the track less desert, looking for "float'' rock with a careful and experienced eye, and examining it closely with the aid Of a glass, pick, and hammer. But it is a matter of current comment thai the guild of old-time prospectors is rapidly disappearing, though not yet quite extinct New methods are now employed, and the new type of pros pector. with some scientific attain ment, looks for not only gold, silver. and copper. but for the rare metals as we'll, and he connects freuuentlv with the assay office. But the passing Of the old-time prospector is to be de- plored, for after all he filled place m mining history that will not soon be forgotten.
 Prospecting in Alaska is much more difficult matter than in the min ing states of the west. There ledges are found with less search, although prospecting in any country it attend ed by many hardships. In Alaska the ground is covered by heavy growth of moss and, added to this. in the coastal regions, especially, is a jungle like growth, almost impenetrabIe. all combining to make the prospector's work difficult and at times hazardous and always discouraging. And Alas ka has been but superficially pros pected, even in the well-Enown min- eral zones. It has been but scratches here and there in places less difficult of access and near bases of supply. Although the real prospector may be found in the remoter regions, for the reasons that have been stated, pros pecting in the old way promises to become soon lost art In some min ing countries the prospector receives governmental aid and encouragement, but in this country he has made his own way, fought his own battles. borne his own burdens, satisfied if he were in measure successful. But the tale of a successful prospector is soon told. Seldom has he profited from his years Of labor. Those who came after him frequently secured the reward that should have been his.

ALASKA COAL IS
 NOT bE|NG
 MINED

The Cordova Chamber of Commerce today received the following tele- gram from the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce: "At a special meeting of this chamber, held last night, att which there was a large attendance, it was unanimously decided that the people and coal operators of this sec tion are thoroughly satisfied with the present coal leasing bill of October 20, 1914. They think it unwise to change it at this time, as the change would result in withholding capital because of uncertainty. We urge i'm mediate liberal legislation for the development of the oil lands, Mail ing you full particulars"
 In reply to the above message the Cordova Chamber of Commerce wired the Anchorage body as follows: This section of Alaska overwhelmingly opposed to present coal leasing law. This chamber is on record as being opposed to the present law and in favor of the changes recommended by President Wilson in a recent spe- cial message to congress-
 Cordovas commercial organization adopted resolutions several weeks ago favoring changes in the Warsh-Pitt- man bill and copies of same were sent to the members of the house and senate. In that communication was set forth at length reasons why the same laws that apply to the coal and oil In the States shoula be extended to Alaska. Juneau, sewsr ots'ef coast towns took similar action and the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce also lent its influence to assist the people of this territory in securing this much need. ed legislation if our fuel resources are to be developed
 The present coal leasing law has been in effect several years and the best evidence that it is neither prac- ticable nor workable is the fact that no leases of any account have been taken in the Boring River, Matanuska or Nenana fields. Just what prompt ed Anchorage to adopt the course talk en last night is mystery to those who want to see the coal of Alaska opened and placed on the market. It is generally known that the local company at Anchorage, which attempt ed to mine coal on Eska creek was forced to abandon the venture be- cause they could not operate profit ably under the present law. Sooner than have 1t go out to the world that the mine was closed down the govern ment took it over and it is alleged that 1t is being operated more to dem- onstrate that thereais coal Ill the Ma tauska field than as business propos- i ition.

get supplies. This collision, at
fecting as it would. the American
Sugar Refining Company's sup
plies, led to another ukase, that
sugar sold in New Orleans or the
immediate territory might go for
S.35. but on that sent out to other
states east Of the MISSISSIPPI they
must prepay, absorb or equallze
freight to the extent of 20 cents
per hundred pounds. In this way
the sugar trust hoped to secure a
larger fraction of the Louisiana
crop by making it less remunera-
tive for the sugar planters to
turn out pure white sugars.
The recent freezes damaged
the Louisiana crop, coming as they
did earlier in the year than for
several decades. as to diminish 1t
greatly, and probably to the ex-
tent of one third. In the agony
OF the situation, Mr.. Babst has
procured the appointment OF Mr..
Mott to fix the sugar prices OF the
world which we presume IN
cludes Louisiana. Mr.. Babst,
with his ninety million OF dollars
behind him, and with the Nation
al City Bank Of New York, of
which he is a director. behind
him. is forcibly shaking the sugar
world today as terrier dog
would shake a rat.
It is no wonder that the sugar
planters of Louisiana, in their
wears of desperation, because OF
the crushing influence of the
American Sugar Refining Com
pany. should have endeavored to
drive that corporation from the
state as the harm that it has
done and the hundreds of sugar
planters who have failed because
of its crushing influence, is only
eaualled by the malevolent lnfiu-
rnce of that organization called
the industrial Workers of the
World. sometimes shortened into
ri Won't Work" and commonly
known as the I. w. w. The SOON
err that we get rid of that cor
poration in this state the better 1T
will he for our sugar industry, #
we expect to maintain it at all.

An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less ac-
tive. less and less food is required
to meet the demands Of our bod
les. If too much is habitually
taken. the stomach will rebel.
When a man reaches the ad-
vanced age of IS or 80, you will
find that he is a light eater. Be as
careful as you will, however. you
will occasionally eat more than
you should and will feel the need
of Chamberlain s Tablets to cor
rect the disorder. These tablets
do not contain pepsin, but strengt-
en- the stomach and enable it to
perform its functions naturally.
They also cause a gentle move
ment of the bowels.
