a war measure, holding that the in portance of the project at this tine warrants it.
 Originally the government made an appropriation of SS5,00O,OOO for the building of the Alaska railroad and . defray expenses of putting in other facilities for opening up the tcrs..ory.
 Under the program certain sum of this money has been set aside by congress each year for the construc- tion of the railroad. Some years a more liberal appropriation is made fer the allotment. The present funds set aside for the purpose this season, 1t is claimed, are not adequate to permit quick work on the road and the Cham Der is anxious, in view of the fuel shortage, to have this matter reme- died.
 Prior to the determination on the part of the government to build the rail road the coal deposits in Alaska were tested thoroughly by experts and the coal was found to be of the highest grade.
 In this connection it is pointed out that in the dull times of '96 and '97 Alaska came to the front and re- stocked the gold supply of the country, and if given a chance it may solve the fuel problem over which the people of the United States are pondering Seri- ouSly.-EXChange.

SHIP ALASKA
 COAL BY BARGE
Portland Chamber of Commerce Co., Operates with Seward
 Organization

PORTLAND, July 1S.-If Congress can be awakened to the gravity of the situation and make available enough funds for the completion of the gov ernment railroad from Seward into che Matanuska coal fields, containing un- limited deposits of high-grade coal, both bituminouS and anthracite, an un- dertaking which can be brought about by January 1, it is believed there would be no danger of a fuel famine on the Pacific Coast or in the United States. A project is already being discussed for bringing coal to Portland in immense bargeS.
 AS the matter now stands the coun- try is threatened with the greatest shortage of fuel in it's history, and the price of coal, wood and fuel oil are going up day by day. When the con- scripted troops begin to move across the Atlantic great inroads will be made into the fuel supplies on both coasts.
 Feeling certain that the price of oil soon will be beyond their reach, owners of some of the large business buildings of Portland are making ar engagements to heat with coal. That commodity also is becoming so high as to be almost prohibitive. River steamboat owners at Portland are planning to substitute coal for oil for the production of steam, the sort of fuel formerly used.
 of they have high grade coal in Alaska said D. c. OReilly, a Port of Portland commissioner, "and ar engagements can be made for the op- ening up of mines quickly and plac- ing the product on the markets, it ought to be done without the loss of more time than necessary. The Port of Portland has under contemplation a plan for the establishment of large coal bunkerS here for the accommo- dation of shipping.
 It is planned to barge the cOai down from British Columbia or Puget Sound at an early date for the open ing up of Alaska mines the coal may be barged from there. The bunker proposal will come up for consider ation at the next meeting of the com mission"
 The Portland Chamber of Com merce sent word to the Oregon dele gation in congress, urging that the re- quest of the Seward chamber be granted for more money to be made available by the federal government for the speedy completion of the rail- road into the coal fields. The Seward chamber wants the proposal classed as

DENS EVERYWHERE
Everybody Has a Garden and Back
Yards Are in More Sanitary COndi-
tion Than Ever Before

Sanitary Officer F. A. Wishart
knows more about the conditions in
back yards in Lumberton than any
other man in town. 1t is his business
to know. He has to visit them and
ascertain their condition. And Mr..
Wishart says he never saw the like
of gardens in Lumberton before. Ev-
erybody has garden, he says, culti-
waited, in most irztances, right up to
the back steps, and as one of the re-
suits, back yards are in more san
itary condition than he has ever found
them beforehand he has been on this
job for some years. Heretofore the
most familiar sight in back yards
was tin cans and weeds. Now it is
different. The back yards are clean
Of grass and rubbish and vegetables
are growing. And the women are
cultivating the gardens in many in
Stances. Mr.. Wishart says when he
goes to front door and fails to be
able to make anybody hear, he goes
around to the back yard and there.
usually, he finds the lady of the house
tutivating her garden.
A town of gardens it is. No near
distinction that, for any town. Ano
there are some as fine gardens here
as you will find in days journey.

20 MILES ON A GALLON OF GAS
Result of Test of Maxwell Touring
Cars-One Car Made 20 Miles and
Another 1913


Twenty-rine miles on one gallon
OF gasoline is the record made by one
Of the Maxwell autos that figured
in the. test made by the Lumberton
Motor Car Co. yesterday, and the 9TH
er car in the test ran 1913 miles on
one gallon.
The cal that made 29 miles on a
gallon was operated by Mr.. J. " Will
Hanson, salesman for the Lumberton
Motor Car Co., and belongs TO Mr..
C. V. Brown, cashier of the Nation
al Bank of Lumberton. The car has
been in use for year or more. In
tie car with Mr.. Williamson were
Mr.. Brown, Mayor Jas. D. Proctor,
Register of Deeds M. w. Floyd, and
Mr.. A. C. Johnson. editor Of the Lum-
berton Tribune. The car that made
q record of 1913 miles belongs to Mr..
FL. H. Anderson and was operated
by Mr.. w. c.. Reynolds, machinist
for the company, and in the car with
Him were Town Clerk and Treasurer
Ira B. Townsend, County Auditor J.
M. McCallum, and Mr.. J. A. Sharpe
editor of The Robesonian.
Before leaving the garage a tank
that holds just one gallon was at
tached to each ear and each car was
operated from that gallon tank until
/! it was exhausted. The run was made
at the average speed of Is miles the
hour ard was to St. Pauls, where both
cars turned without Stacking speed
or changing gears, and back to Lum.
berton. Mr.. Browns car ran back
to Lumberton, to between Sixth ane
Seventh streets on Elm, before it's gal
lon was exhausted. The spedomete1
! registered even 29 miles, both sped
ometers being placed at zero, o1
course, before the start was made
The road was good for the most part
The difference in mileage was dut
to the fact that Mr.. Anderson's ca
j is nearly new, while Mr.. Browns ca
has been in service for a year O.
more.
In tests that have been made O.
the Maxwell car at various places a
. various speeds and on all sorts O
| roads. the records range from 18 t.
! so miles to the gallon.
