minds and physical attainments,
watch will result in strengthening the
morale of the coming army. They
will be instructed that the cause Of
the allies is right and just and the
minds OF drafted foreigners will be
disaubused OF the intimatton that they
are being coerced, but on the Other
hand, they will have pointed out to
them that the world conflict is one for
the freedom of humanity.
The board will point out the bene-
fits of the insurance granted soldiers,
the great work being done by the
American Red Cross, and how well
the families of those fighting abroad
are being cared for. In fact. the idea
is to prepare the bodies and souls of
the men for enlistment and service.
Also they will be given the benefit

register until they are drafted, If they

TAX BOARD
 WORKING HARD
Many Claims for Reduction of Taxes Acted Upon by Board of
 Equalization

In the two nights that the city council has sat as a board Of equal izatlon. Wednesday and Thursday nights. they have reduced the as- sessed valuation on fourteen pieces of property amounting all together to something over $3.4OO. These re- ductions were made upon claim Of the property owenrs.
 Several other claims were made for reduction. among them the Alas ka Troadwoll C. NJ. Company. who protested upon an increased valua- ton of S4.OOO on four mining claims owend by them in Inc city limits of Douglas. They were wiling to pay the same tax as last year Protest was made by St. Ann Hospital against the taxation on the Annex of that institution The latter claim was laid over until an opinion was secured from Judge eJnnings on the matter, the council claiming that the Annex had been used for com merclal purposes. The Treadwell claim and several others were laid over until a later time.
 Tonight was set as the last night for the board to meet, but as so much business has come up before it, it will be impossible 10 finish this evening. as no work whatever has been done on equalizing the property according to the valuation on the books, so it is very likely that several more meetings will have have to be held to finish up the work.
 It is very likely the value of the lots will be based a great deal upon the assessed valuation as set by the government in their schedule of as- sessments prepared for the purpose Of giving deeds to lots on the town site Of Douglas.

FIRST SHIPMENT
 ALASKA COAL
Juneau Gets First Shipment of Alas ka Coal to Be Shipped
 Any Distance

What ls the first commercial or der for Anchorage district coal from any place. other than communities on the line Of the government rail- road. has just been received by the Little susltna Coal Company from tho Pacific Coast Coal Company, of Juneau. The ordocr is for 15O tons. The fuel will be shipped to Anchor age from Houston. which is tho place of operation of the Little Susitna mine and which is sixty miles north of Anchorage. At Anchorage, it will be loaded on an early steamship for Juneau.
 rho order is Che result of the pol- icy of the Land and Industrial De- partment, of the Alaskan Engineer ing Commission. and Governor Thos. Riggs. Jr.. for the promotion of AL aska industries by encouraging their support in a trade and busineoss way by residents of the Territory. The Land and Industrial Department sent samples of Che coal of Che Little Su- sltna mine Co Governor Riggs, and he in turn interested the Pacific Coast Coal Company in the fuel.
 The Little susitna mine is oper- ated under free permit granted by the government to Joseph Jandos.
 Anchorage and all other towns on the government railroad. as well as the railroad itself, make use Of An chorage district coal exclusively for fuel purposes.
 "This shipment of Anchorage dis trict coal Co Juneau" said E. T.. Lindner. acting head Of the Land and Industrial Department "is an important event in the coal mining developemnt of tho territory. Prac. tlcally an coal used in Alaska, with tho exception of the Cook lnlet-Si- sltna region, has been imported from Washington and British Columbia, thcsc imports in 1916 amounting to SO.OOO tons. Several small ship monts Of coal have been made to Seward from thc Blun Point mine on Kachemak Bay, Of Cook Inlet, but the Juneau ordecr will be the first shipment of any importance to any place other than Anchorage.
 "Tho use Of Anchorage district coal in Alaska towns, aside from an economic considerations. is a parti- otlc service and innures to the bene- At of the nation in tho time of war. It leaves in the States and British Columbia fuel that is needed there and by lessening coal shipments to Alaska materially relieves congested water transportation to tho north- land. There is only a limited num- ber Of steamships plying between the States and Alaska, and by util- izing the cargo space on southbound voyages for shipments of Alaska coal to Alaska ports, he crafts on their northbound voyages will be relieved Of transporting fuel from the States and British Columbia to the ter ritory."
 The water freight rate on coal from Anchorage to Juneau is S3.75 ton.
