In his frantic opposition to the bill introduced in Congress by Delegate Suzer to permit the use for food big game killed within the of the law during the period of the and for year there after, Dr. w. T. Hornaday director of the New York Geological Park, is making a somewhat remarkable display of ignorance of Alaskan conditions and of the bill itself.
 The Sulzer bill, prepared in the Bureau of Biolo- gical Survey of the Department of Agriculture, is be- ing supported by MT. Charles Sheldon, chairman of the game preservation committee of the Boone and Crockett Club, by George Bird Grnnell and other in fluenal members of this famous big game club which founded by Theodore Roosevelt in 1887. It also has the uncompromising approval of Dr. E. w. Nel- Superintendent of the Bureau of Biological Sur vey. The bill does not increase the number of game animals single individual is permitted to kill. It limits the number of moose to two, of sheep to two, and of caribou to three It shortens the open in which these animals may be killed by 10 days It simply provides that game killed within the open sea- may be tagged and disposed of at any time after the close of the open instead of compelling all game to be disposed of within fifteen days from the date killed It provides that it shall only apply to that section of Alaska north of the 62d parallel and that game killed north of that line cannot be shipped of the section but must be consumed north of the designated line.
 Dr. Hornaday characterzes this bil designed to conserve and prevent waste assault" in favor of "the wholesale commercial slaughter of Alaska game"
 A bare statement of the makes the situa- tion clear to Alaskans without further comment The whole situation expressed clearly by Repre- sentative Merritt Republican Representative from Connecticut when he said the other day " regard it significant that all those Alaskans who have first hand information favor the bill while those who op pose the bill get their information second third and fourth hand. MT. Merritt had just heard the state of MT. Horanday and Dr." H. W.

WE WANT TO BE OBSERVERS

philosopher who has been trying figure out why people want to live, has decided that iosity or words to that effect. He says that want to stay here to be observers. We know that can not take an active part in the affairs of the world after few brief years but regardless of how little part able to take after age has fastened its fangs into want to live onto what is going to happen Those not the words of the philosopher, but they convey his meaning.
 "The alert mind tires of the play" he says. Indeed interest is increased the larger the know. ledge and understanding becomes And it is only the aging man who properly sit back like spec. tator in a box at the theatre, and take the whole show. The younger burns to participate in the action. He has partisanshp, all the passions, hopes and faiths he is ready to die for his fight others to gain his ideals. But your older man has dismissed much of such personal and has ar rived at state of philosophic curiosity. He has discovered that when the consideration been pretty well eliminated his intellectual curiosity is most piqued and is most gratified."

ALASKA COAL
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

(Seattle Post-Intellgencer)
 Construction of the government rallroau Ill ~ ss11 and martial development of the Matanuska coal 1eus have had not had the effect of cheapenng luel U" the extent condentially expected For some non'nt t Matanuska coal has been arriving at uuewaler at Anchorage but price, instead or appro4lmdllhe s5 or s6 per ton held rather steadily at $ll per ton. The government has undertaken the deVeop of modern mine near Matanuska' put tue ooa , from this is for of the navy and not TOT the public Two or three private coal mine enterprises are going forward under leasing agreement wlth the government but these, even if they were running at full capacity would not fill the Alaska oenianus' HOT would they have any determining influence Ill lower ing the market price. There are large deposits ol coal in the Matanuska fields but the difficulty IS that Federal leasing provisions. Hence the great feld is being developed but sparingy, and Alaska is suil importing British Columbia fuel at high prices
 Discussing present conditions, the valdez Miner comments
 Coal at $11 per ton at Anchorage cannot be
 delivered at Seward Valdez or Cordova, the
 towns nearest the coal fields, at price within
 $2 $3 per ton of the present price Of imported
 coal. Therefore, unless some vital changes are
 made in the law under which these fields are
 being developed; unless there is some induce
 ment offered to capital develop these fields
 upon a commercial basis with reasonable
 maximum price fixed for the product, the expen-
 diture of $35 100000 for the government railroad
 is practically wasted, so far as providing fuel
 to the Territory and the Pacific coast is con-
 cerned"
 Meanwhile private capital is building railroad from Controller Bay to privately owned mine and promising to place coal on the market at lower price than coal from the government fields. Al aska coal in fact to cheapen in the proportion that it is controlled by private companies.
 If the government desires to cheapen fuel in the Territory produce tonnage for it's railroad it should take down the bars and make it possible for private enterprise develop the fields In view of the need cheaper fuel not only for the comfort and conven fence of the people, but for industrial purposes the mining of the frozen ground and for Alaskas general development, the changes in the leasing law urgent.
