NENANA IS BURNING
Ignite COAL TODAY


mite coal to be hauled to town, for
domestic purposes, arrived in town
Saturday night. 1t consisted of a
carload of about twenty tons and
comes from Billy Lynn's coal mine,
situated about 20 miles south of
town, near camp 1856. The coal is
sent by Mr.. Lynn for distribution
in the various business houses and
other places in town, and he is
making no charge. Those who are
getting the coal will only have to
pay the charges for freight and
hauling.
The Alaskan Engineering COM
mission has decided to assess the
nominal charge of one dollar per
ton for the haul from the mine to
Nenana, and this charge plus the
charge for the hauling from the car
to wherever it is to be used will be
all that the coal will cost Nenana-
ties who may be lucky enough to
get any of it.
For the convenience of the towns
people, the car of coal was placed
at the end of the line near the
A. Y. N. Co.'S office, and will be
distributed in small but sufficient
quantity to enable Nenanaites to
judge it's heating and burning quail.
ties.
The carload is consigned to NJ. j.
Cooney, who has been requested by
Lynn to see that it is properly dis
tributed among all the business
people in Nenana, and the entire
shipment of approximately twenty
tons of coal has been very fairly
distributed.
The hauling of the coal from the
car to the different places around
town commenced early this morning
and continued all day. The guam
titles distributed and the places to
which it was sent being as follows
In nearly all the stoves in Ne
mana today, Ignite coal is being
burned for the first time, and most
of those who are using this new
fuel are keeping track of the guam
titles used and the results obtained
thereby.
Since the 14th of November, coal
from the Lynn mine has been in use
in the heating plant near the en-
CINE house and machine shop, and
in the power plant of the A. E. c.;
and, although at first, the results
obtained by the use of the fuel
were not as satisfactory as expected,
the results more recently obtained
show that the coal makes a very
satisfactory fuel for the purposes
for which it is used. The strata
of surface coal, which practically
composed the first shipments to
town, has now been passed and the
miners penetrating beyond, have
reached a body of coal far superior
to the surface variety.
The surface coal, besides having
large percentage of water, also
contained many impurities, which
necessitated frequent cleaning of
the fires, Superintendent Packer stat
ing that at first it was necessary
to clean the fires every two hours.
The improvement in the quality
of the coal for the past three weeks
has been so great that now the
fires need cleaning only once during
shift of eight hours, and Mr..
Packer thinks that, if anything, the
quality of the coal will continue
to show an improvement as the
miners reach deeper, to where the

HEAVY FINE FOR
THEFT OF AUTO

Albert H. Hanna, of SIS State street
who was arraigned in the city court
today charged with driving an auto
mobile while under the influence of
liquor was fined $50 and costs by
Judge Bartlett.
When the evidence of witnesses
was heard some very amusing facts
were brought to light principally
that of the kidnapping of Morris
Spatz, of 1913 James street, a. jitney
driver and the subsequent wild chase
of the racing automobile by Sergeant
Wolf who succeeded in capturing
Hanna and rescuing Spatz at Ash
Creek bridge.
According to Spatz, Hanna, driv-
ing a powerful car, ran into his jit-
ney bus at the corner of State and
Hancock avenue but did not stop. In
an effort to get some satisfaction for
the injury to his car Spatz ran after
Hanna's machine and climbed on the
running board.
Hanna reached over the side and
dragged Spatz into thee ar beside him
and then set off at racing pace for
parts unknown. While going at race
track speed Hanna confided in Spatz,
that he knew of a very deep lake
many miles away. He was going to
drive to the lake and throw Spatz into
it.
Spatz was terrified and tried to
jump out of the machine, but Hanna
guided it with one hand while he held
Spatz in his seat with the other.

MEXICAN MINISTER
EXPLAINS RUPTURE

Washington, May 27.---Senor Ygna-
clio Bonillas, Mexican Ambassador to
the United States, has received de-
tailed advices bearing on the Mexi-
can-Cuban diplomatic break from the
Mexican Foreign Office, and he said
last night he believed no serious con-
sequences would follow.
by Withdrawing our diplomatic
representatives from Cuba we pre-
vent reclamations which would have
to be made to the Cuban government
because of that governments present
position with respect to the war;"
Senior Bonillas said.
In other words Mexico could not
permit certain restrictions against
Mexican interests to he enforced by
Cuba without taking each case up
automatically and rather than in
itiate this policy of protest Mexico
has simply Withdrawn her charge
d affaires.
There is an ,undoubted intimation
in the policy decided upon by First
Chief Carranza that the United States
and not Cuba is responsible for
the restrictions against exports
to Mexico or against giving
coal to steamships playing betwene

ZONES FOR mail
OF SECOND CLASS
AFTER JULY 1ST

It was announced today that the
new postal law establishing zones for
all second class mail matter, will go
into effect on July 1. This bill which
was recently passed by Congress has
been advocated by the postal depart
ment for many years. Violent pro-
tests on the part of newspaper and
periodical publishers held up the pas
sage of the measure.
The zone system was established
many years ago, in the time of Ben
ianin Franklin, but twas abolish
ed in a short time. Nothing was
heard of it again until the parcel
post movement was carried through
Then the zones were re-established,
and since that time there has been a
bitter fight between the post office
department and the publishers over
| the establishment of zone system
for second class mail matter. The
postal authorities finally triumphed,
and their measure will go into effect
on July 1, 1918. Eight zones have
been fixed and the rates will be as
follows:
July 1, 1918-19-First and second
zones l IA cents; third zone. IL
cents; fourth zone 2 cents; fifth zone
2 IA cents; sixth zone, 2 IL cents

Toilet Soap Famine
Threatens England

London, May 27-Britain is threat
ened with a famine in toilet soap. The
old adage, "You cannot eat your cake
and have it too,'' is a very applicable
to the present situation. The shortage
of butter supplies has changed en-
tirely the view of the public in regard
to the use of oleomargarine, and the
demand is so great that all oil sup
plies have been corpmandeered by the
Ministry of Food for the manufacture
of oleomargarine, and the situation in
regard to soap is difficult as a conse-
quence.
Most of the oils used in the manu-
facture of toilet soaps have come I'M
der the ban of the food controller and
are being manufactured into the but
ter substitute instead of soap, and the
present stocks of the better classes of
soap will soon be exhausted.
The soap manufacturers have ap-
pealed to the ministry for the release
| of supplies, but without success. The
attitude of the department was sum-
med up,by an official day or so ago:

PRESIDENT ASKS

CONSIDERATION

that I have ventured to come to you
today"
The presidents address follows:
Gentlemen of the Congress:
It is with unaffected reluctance that
I come to ask you to prolong your ses-
sion long enough to provide more
ADEQUATE resources for the treasury
for the conduct of the war. 1 have
reason to appreciate as fully as you
dc how arduous the session has been.
Your labors have been severe and
protracted. You have passed long
series of measures which required the
debate of many doubtful questions of
judgment and many exceedingly diff
cult questions of principle as well as
of practice. The summer is upon us
| in which labor and counsel are twice
arduous and are constantly apt to be
| impaired by lassitude and fatigue
The elections are at hand and we
ought as soon as possible to go and
render an intimate account of ou1
trusteeship to the people who dele
gated us to act for them in the
weighty and anxious matters thai
crowd upon us in these days of criti-
cal choice and action. But we dare
not go to the elections until we have
done our duty to the full. These are
days when duty stands stark ant
naked and even with closed eyes We
know it is there. Excuses are I'M
awaiting. We have either done oul
duty or we have not. The fact will
be as gross and plain as the duty 1t
self. In such a case lassitude ant
fatigue seem negligible enough. TIL
facts are tonic and suffice to freshel
the labor.
"And the facts are these. Add
tional revenues must manifestly b
provided for. 1t would be a most un
sound policy to raise too large a pro
portion of them by loan and it is evi
dent that the four billions now pro
vided for by taxation will not c
themselves sustain the greatly enlarg
ed budget to which we must immedi
ately look forward. We cannot
fairness wait until the end of the fis
4 cal year is at hand to apprise our pee
pie Of the taxes they must pay o
. their earnings of the present caller
! dar year, whose accountings and e1
, pendftures will then be closed. W
cannot get increased taxes unless til
, country knows what they are to /
4 and practices the necessary econom
, to make them available"
