Enroute to Anchoraoe to Inspect Matanuska Coal Fields With
 View of Supplying Navy
By IRENE DU HAMEl

And so this is an Alaska Newspa. per woman, why, you don't look like a newspaper woman at all, you don't even wear flat heels! We don't have 'em like that in Washington" Thus spoke Herbert A. Myers asst. Secretary of the Interior, and his associates, when met last evening by representa- tive of the Miner who declared them selves delighted with everything Alas kan, including reporters. Mir Myers is accompanied by R. s. Austin, of the Secretary's office. Edwin F. Wendt. an emminent engineer, of Washington D. C., and MT. and Mrs. A. D. Shepard of San Francisco. The party was on board the Admiral Evans, enroute to Anchorage, to inspect the Government coal fields in the Matanuska. From there they will travel by rail to the end of the new road, familiarizing themselves with everything that must of necessity be referred to Washington
 Want Coal for Navy.
 The government is very much in- terested in Alaska. particularly in the possibilities of the Matanuska coal fields and we are here with the idea of doing everything possible toward eXpediting delivery of Matanuska coal as quickly as possible" MT. Myers said. We have an item in the General De- ficiency bill, which provides for $4,00O- 900 with which to carry on the con- struction of the railroad, and if we can secure all this money at this time we hope to have the railroad to Matanus- ka completed by the early part of next summer, and that means that Mat. anuska coal can be delivered for the needs of the navy, and for general use in Alaska and along the Pacific coast
 Enjoying Alaska Trip
 "Oh! but your scenery! We have been admiring something new every moment and still there seems plenty left over have travelled extensively" said MT. Meyers, "but never anywhere have I see nanything to equal 1t. It is distinctly individual. We are en- toying our trip to the utmost" MT. Meyers said he had heard everywhere that Ketchikan was the best town In Alaska, and that he had been consider. ably surprised at the modern appear. ance of the little city, and the size of the population.
 Speaks of His Department
 The Department of the Interior is one of the largest in the Government, and includes Lands, Indians, Pensions. Patents. and the Bureau of Education, but none of these comes closer to the heart of Secretary Lane than Alaska. her wealth, her people and her devel- opment," said MT. Myers.
 Nobody realizes any better. of what vast importance Alaska's resources are m the present world struggle than the Secretary of the Interior, and nothing not even his deep interest in the war. overshadows the interest he has al. ways felt for Alaska" MT. Myers said.
 MT, Meyers for three years was pri- vate secretary to Secretary of the Interior, Lane, before his recent ap- pointment as assistant Secretary. The party plans to remain north possibly a month or six weeks, going over the ground thoroughly.

TO QUIT SUNDAY
Three-I League Will Suspend--sIs
the Fourth This Season.
(Ry Associated Press

Chicago, July 5.-Was has forced
the Three-I league, one of the oldest
minor leagues of the country, to close
its parks. The organization will sus-
pend its season next Sunday. Presi-
dent A. r, Tearney announced We'd
nesday night. The eight clubs have
lost approximately $4,000 since the
start of the season eight weeks ago.
Although the league faced unprece-
denied weather conditions early in
the season, President Tearney said
that subscriptions of the Liberty
Loan and the Red Gross, the general
lack of interest in the game owing to
the war, contributed largely to the
leagues failure.
The closing makes the fourth
league to suspend since the opening
of the season two months ago. The
Virginia league was the first to fall.
Then the North Carolina league sus-
pended after less than six weeks of
operation. The Northern league gave
up Wednesday because of heavy fin
ancial losses. Several other leagues
are reported to be near collapse.
Under the ruling OF the National
Association of Professional leagues,
the Three-I league will retain its
player and territorial rights. AL
though the players will be permitted
to seek employment wherever pos
sibIe for the remainder Of the season,
they will be obliged to report next
spring to the club holding their con-
tract this season.
The league has been in operation
for II wears. 1t is composed of the

II was a most interesting explana-
ton OF the plan of organization and
Of the work of this branch of the
army. He explained the duties Of
the men of a command and told Of
the changes in methods that have
been made necessary by the develop
ment of new systems of warfare. He
described the guns that will be
used and told how they are operated
and how the shells throw a blanket
OF lead behind the enemy's trenches
to hold the enemy soldiers while the
heavy guns shell them. He said that
the highest duty of the men of the
country is to protect their country.
