 HERE ON TRIP
Making Inspection Trip Over Road Work Under Way This
 Season

Col. Richardson of the Alaska road commission arrived in Seward on the Alaska today enroute to the head of Cook inlet to look over proposed wag- on road work in sections along the government railroad and between Will low creek and Wassilla mines.
 The commission already has a crew at work on the Mile 29 Sunrise road and will be asked by local business men to aid in opening the highway from Seward city limits to the naval radio station at the head of the bay.
 Col. Richardson's work to secure funds for this years work in Alaska has already been noted. He was sue cessful but says that it was exceed ingly difficult in view of the demands for war purposes and may be more so at the coming sessions of Congress.
 A committee of the Seward Cham Der of Commerce met Col. Richardson and took him for an auto ride out the government road to Bear Creek this afternoon.

CORDOVANS
 FINEST EVER
Great SpOrtsmen and Good Losers Say HOben of the Sound
 City

Harry Hoben and his victorious bal team which gathered in four straight from Cordova, returned on the Alaska and Hoben says that the Cordova folks are the best fellows and the best sportsmen it has ever been his pleas ure to meet.
 "There was onthing too good for us and when they saw after the second game that their team did not have a chance they were game to the core and yelled for more games and bet to win in the face of odds," said Hoben They never let up for a minute and when the fourth game ended 6 to 1, were good losers.
 "It was a great trip and did much to extend good fellowship between the two towns. 1 expect Cordova will be over here next year with team that will give us trouble and all we can dc to show them a good time will not be too much"

ALASKAN ENDS

Brother of Dick Ryan Lost All ir Bank and Feared Sight Would
 Also Go.

SEATTLE, July 10.-James J. Ryan, aged 50, and a pioneer of Nome and Katalla, who was associated with his brother Richard "Dick" Ryan in the Boring river coal fields, ended his life by shooting Sunday.
 He feared that he would lose his sight as a secondary result of flask an snow blindness, and this, together with worry over fortune lost in a recent bank failure, caused him to give up the struggle. His body was found in his room at local hotel.

GERMAN MEMBERS NOW OPPOSE SUB WAR
SULzER AND HEAD OF MINE
 BUREAU TELL COMMITTEE OF
 SENATE ABOUT ALASKA COAL

my knowledge, since the withdrawals some years ago.
 Dr. MANNING-A lease was given to a man by the name of Martin to operate one of the units of the Alas ka Railroad contracted, 1 think, for several hundred tons day, and he ran into a fault, and the Alaska Railroad was unable to get his coal, so they proposed to take over that lease, pos sibly for 60 or 90 days, and try to find sufficient coal there to operate the railroad. In the meantime the Secre- tary of the Interior has authorized the development of what is known as unit 12, which is up in the Chickaloon dis trict. That is the only locality outside of that field that has been developed to any extent.
 Senator SHAFROTH-You say he has authorized the development? Has lease been made to any private par ties?
 Dr. MANNING-Lease to unit No. 12 has not been made. That unit is in the Chickaloon district. That is the one which the Alaska Railroad pro- poses to work in conjunction with this other tract of land leased by Martin, who was unable to produce coal in suf ficient quantities to operate the road. The road was under the difficulty of either buying coal and shipping it into Alaska at S20 ton or producing it.
 Senator PHELAN - What develop ment has been undertaken?
 Mir. SULZER - In the Matanuska district and some development in the Boring River field.
 Senator PHELAN - One of the ob- jects of the railroad is to open these fields, is it not?
 Mir. SULZER-Yes, sir; the Mata- nuska field
 Senator PHELAN-And now there is a question about the value of the fields?

Drastic Addition to Control Bill Is Planned to Insure Bigger
 Production

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-The sen ate is considering a section of the food control bill authorizing the Pres ident to commandeer factories, pack ing houses, mines and other plants, operate them and fix the wages.
 The liquor clause passed by the House limits the manufacture of all intoxicants but the section as finally passed by the Senate prohibits only the manufacture and importation of distilled spirits.
The Seward gateway and the Alaska evening post., 1917-07-10

MIR. SULZER-And 1 feel, in regard to Alaska, that it should be given more liberal treatment than the other sec tions of the country, because of the pc culiar conditions existing there. And believe that one of the most important things to grant in that connection would be a larger area in any leasing law. Alaska should have at least double the area granted than any Oth- CT field in the country may be given, for reason that there are peculiar geo. graphical conditions existing in Alas ka. A tract may be granted in any of the fields in Alaska, and the greater part of it possibly, would be so rugged that it would be inaccessible to oil de- velopment.
 The CHAIRMAN-This bill pro vides for 2,560 acres in the lease. You think that is not enough in Alaska?
 Mr. SULZER-No, sir.
 Senator WALSH-How large do you feel the coal-lease tracts should be?
 Mir. SULZER-I think they should be at least double
 Senator WALSH-That is, eight sections of land?
 My SULZER-YeS, sir.
 Senator WALSH-Four miles long by 2 miles wide?
 Mir. SULZER-Yes, sir.
 Senator SHAFROTH - Has there been any development in the way of coal lands up in Alaska?
 Mir. SULZER-Well, as l under stand, there has not; there has not been any substantial development, to

CENSORSHIP TO PREVENT
 STRIKE AT LA TOUCHE

A rigid censorship of newspapers and letters is being enforced at La Touche to prevent anything in the way of propaganda material from being sent in there which might result in a strike there, similar to that at Ken necott.
 All papers are read first to see if they contain any reference to the strike, and people not employed by the Kennecott corporation are not allowed to land.

NO SHOOTING

CORDOVA, July 10, Special to The Gateway)-Rumors of the shooting of a miner in the labor trouble at Kenne- colt have been sent out from here re- gently, which are absolutely untrue.
 Everything has been perfectly peaceful since the walkout. All the saloons within radius of 60 miles of the mine are closed. False reports are being circulated with a view of keep ing men away from this district.

The Gateway is in receipt of letter from Harold Johnson, spokesman for the strikers at Kennecott in which he says that 20 soldiers arrived on June 18th but had nothing to do, as perfect order was being maintained.
 Johnson says the Kennecott officials visited the miners camp at Blackburn on June 30 and tried to induce the miners to return for wage scale of about 9 cents a day better than the old but were unsuccessful as the men are holding out for the "interior of Alaska" wage.
 Marshal Breneman returned to Val dez on July 2 and reports the greatest order prevailing among the miners. Marshal Brenneman states that while there are a number of l. w. w. agi- tators and few pro-Germans on the ground that the miners are refusing to listen to them and are maintaining a close watch upon their members tC prevent them from doing anything to prejudice their cause. He states that while the soldiers were not needed at the scene of the strike it was thot best by the government to have them there, as one or two men could do damage to the mine buildings and bridges that would take year to re- place.
