 Recent announcements indicate that the dfficul ties in the way of steel manufacture the North Pacific coast in the way to be disposed of. This district, remote from the great steel ceners of the particularly burdensome in recent because oi the great rise in market values With the inception of our steel ship construction industry the need Of local production of the metal has become gent The lack of coal suitable for cokng purposes has all along interfered with this
 MT. B. L. Thane, a welknown mining engineer, recently announced the discovery of coal deposits in this State that will produce satisfactory coke of the proper strength and quality for steel manufae tnre, and also the location of deposits of very good iron With these supplies close at hand the State there seems nothing in the way of steel facture large scale in this district
 Whether or not they may be the coal and iron deposits referred to by MT Thane, J. W. Mcbride of Spokane, announced in the current issue of North west Mining Truth that extensive deposits of good coking coal and hematte iron have been discovered in the Cinnabar district, about twenty-five miles of Chahas It is estimated that least 265, 900 00u tons of good coking coal underie 1900 land in that vicinity which is the center of only par tially explored mineral belt rich in future possib tles Samples or the coal sent to Connelsville, Pa said to have shown that it makes a coke of hard body that will stand fast driving in blast furnace for the making of steel
 Says Mir. McBride
 Development of the Pacific Coast has
 been much retarded by lack of good coal for
 steam purposes and for coke for smelling ores
 and manufacturing iron and steel products.
 Most of the coke has been brought from the
 Atlantic coast Australia and ports on the
 East coast of Asia. With development of this
 large deposit of good cokng coal in Wash

 industries of the Pacific Northwest is as-
 sured."
 Steel manufacture has been resumed at Irondale Port Townsend, and preliminary ar engagements have been made for the building of q great plant in the Seattle district great develop ment is indicated that will benefit the whole Pacific coast as well as the West country in general.

ROYALTY'S LAST CHANGE

According to Premier Venizelos Greece is giving royalty its last chance. If it gets drunk again with German miltarism tends to fall off the wagon of diplomatic constutionalism it loses it's job for all time in that little kingdom. Or he dipo- matically phrased it, it certainly last experi- ment asking"
 Of course this applies to the present and not to the King who has abdcated As is well known, his is beyond recall He is apparently hopeless militaristic inebriate. And though he will not doubt greatly improve from the forced rest he is at present taking, could think of again trusting him with the important and delicate machinery of government Kings these days need steady, demo- cratic hand and clear constitutional head to hold their places successfully.
 The young Greek King will doubt note fully his conditions of employment. And he should find nothing unreasonable in the popular demand that he sign pledge to eschew long he lives the deleterious Teutonc portions that wrecked the old gentemans prospects.

ALASKA COAL

Logansport, Ind. Trbune)
 The Eska Creek coal mine, located in the Mat anuska coal fields, Alaska bought on June IS by the Alaska Engineering Commission and formally taken over from the private which has been operating it for several months The purpose of the commission in purchasing the mine is to secure an adequate supply of coal for the construction and operation of the Government railroad This object was attainabe only through the operation of the mine larger scale. and by the installation of proper facilities. The commission will also take steps at once to open the mine in Chickaloon and the necessary machinery will be installed as the railroad reaches that point, probably in August It is not the intention of the Government to remain in the coal mining business permanently. but when the mines have been opened sufficiently to supply the large tonnage needed by the Commission it is proposed to lease them to private parties.

A PERTINENT WARNING

The Ketchikan Progressive Miner commenting up the circumstance that fresh fish had been per mtted rot in Alaska because of lack of transpor- tinent warning to the American transportation lines engaged in the Alaska trade. While admitting that it is too much to expect the transportation compan- ies to evoate contracts with the canneres in order to carry fresh fish, it inmaes clearly that it is up those engaged in the business provide sui ficient facilities handle all the traffic offered to submit to demand that has gone up in certain quarters to permit the Canadian lines to coastwise trade.
 The Ketchikan paper says:
 "The transportation company might have agreed to deliver it's load at a certain time; in it had it could not very well break its tract to favor another. If company becomes too accommodating and loses the confidence of the public through the breaking of contract to favor another If company be- comes too accommodating and loses the fidence of the public through the breaking of contracts it would last sOon' In a like this it is hard to place the blame any one. It is another unavoidable incident the people are subjected to in country where they entirely dependent trans portation. However, if the American lines operating in Alaska desirious of keeping the traffic to themselves by preventing the Canadian lines from taking a share they must do better than that and few repe
 tons or that nature may force the govern ment to grant the Canadian lines the same privilege enjoyed by the American lines The government is preaching economy, and to per init some five thousand dollars worth of fish to rot may be economy for the transporta- tion companies but economy the wrong way about for the people"

RED CROSS HAS
 SPENT MILLIONS
 IN RELIEF WORK
American Branch Is Now on Job, Has Performed Noble Work for
 the Allies.
TWELVE MILLION SPENT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-A gift of l25 motor ambulances. and auto mobiles to Russia is announced by the American Red Cross. The ship ment will go forward immediately, consigned to the Red Cross mission under Dr. Frank Billings. Already nearly half million dollars worth of medical and surgical supplies have been sent.
 Approximately $12000,000 for war relief work in Europe will have been expended by the American Red Cross in rthe first six months since the United States has been at war with Germany, according to a report ad- dressed today to the American peo- pie by Henry P. Davison, chairman of the Red Cross War Council, in which full details are given of the activities of the organizations in various nations abroad, chief of which is France
 More than $1O,O00,000 of this sum, appropriated up to and including Aug. 31 by the War Council since its appointment, May 10 last, is for use in France. Other countries to receive relief are Russia, Rumania, Italy, Serbia, England and Armenia, the grand total amounting to $12,- 339,6S1, the greater part of which will be used by Nov 1, although some of the appropriations cover year. Most of the persons in charge of the Red Cross work in France are giving their time and paying their own expenses. A special fund of $100,000 has been privately con tributed to meet the expenses of members of the commission to France unable to pay their own way.
