FUR ARMY NEARLY
 READY
QUARTERMAsTER DEPARTMENT DEMANDS HAVE TAXED U. s, INDUSTRY TO UTMOST, BUT ARE BEING MET.

The Quartermaster Department, with the approval of the Secretary Of War, announces that the task of eQuipping an army of nearly F. OOO,OOO men is progressing as ra- pidly as the peacetime industries or the country can be extended to meet war conditions.
 Minor inconVeniences and snort ages, which develop as the canton ments are opened, will be tempor- ary. The QuartermaSter Depart ment and those filling equipment orders have overcome a number of handicaps, and under the circum- stances the response of American industry to extraordinary demands has been remarkable
 With the outbreak of the war the War Department was confronted with the task of eQuipping & great army, and the work began almost from the ground up. More than $S, 900, 100000 must be expended by the Quartermaster Department or the first year of the war. The department and the industries Of the country, with the machinery and capacity of peace times, was uneN- pectedly called upon to clothe, feed, and house an army many times larger than the peace strength army of a nonmilitaristic nation.
 Difficulties arose from the outset There was a shortage of wool, shortage of duck for tentage and leggins, g shortage of fast dyes for uniforms, and a shortage or labor. There was no appreciaDls shortage of cotton, but a shortage of looms.
 These difficulties have been ana are being gradually overcome. All along the line industrial establish ments had to be expanded to meet unprecedented demands.
 The food situation at each can tonment and abroad is reported as gratifying and the Quartermaster Department has experienced te" difficulties in the supply of food. Such shortages as may occur In equipment are attributable to the causes outlined above.

A recent issue of the Juneau Elm pire says Alaska will be able to get all the Washington State coal that she can burn this year. That is the information brought back from Seattle by R. R. Young, agent in Alaska for the Pacific Coast Coal Company. However, there is pos sibility that there may be & short age Of British Columbia coal though the coal mine operators of that province have promised that they will sell all the coal that they can spare from time to time.
 q was offered all the coal that Alaska may need." said MT, Young, "and the companies are ready to contract for it at any time. The oHening of the Issaquah mine and the development of other mines has made it possible to increase the coal production of Washington statt enormously, and the operators are ready to contract for the delivery of their product in any quantities.
 "On the other hand, on account of tue circumstances that all cana dt ' coal mine operators have been ins Elcted that their plants must be hel rct to the demands of Che Bri$ tiralty, the best promise I co FG from the British Col umbia coz producers was that they will sell as much coal as they can spare to Alaskan purchasers when ever the ship arrives to get the coa That this is likely to be & liberal quantity :ss believed, but the mine operators will not even guess up on how much it will be-"

DESIGNED n PROMOTE
 MINING

A bill introduced by United States Senator Thomas J. walsh, or Montana, and pending in congress- designed to encourage and promote the mining of coal, phosphate, oil' gas, potassium and sodium on the public domain, is proving a source of interest to Alaskans.
 The bill provides that any bona Aide occupant or claimant of OH or gas-bearing lands in Alaska, Who' prior to bis withdrawal, had com piled with the requirements of the mining laws, except as to the dis covery of oil or gas in wells, and who prior to the withdrawal expend- ed not less than $1,000 in per manent improvements on or for eac location, may be entitled to lease of each asserted mineral location Of 16O acres or less, and that he snail be given a preference claim.
 Fifty per cent of all money re- ceiyed from royalties, excepting those from Alaska, the bill pro- vides, shall be paid by the secretary of the treasury after the expiration of each fiscal year to the state wherein the leased premises are situate, for the support of the public schools or educational insti- tutions, or for the construction or other improvements as the legis- laturs may direct. The remaining 50 per cent shall be paid into, re- served and appropriated as part of the reclamation fund created by congress.
 Money received from royalties and rentals in Alaska shall be re served as g special fund subject to such disposition as congress may make for It's expenditure for de velopment improvement and better ment in the territory and the fund shall be particularly subject to the application of such moneys as may be provided in any bill authorizing the construction of railroads by the United States In Alaska.
