Latouche Coming with 784 Tons of Fuel; 2,250 Tons Coming This Month
 from Nanaim0.
PRECAUTIONS ALL TAKEN
Arrangements Made for Coal a Week Ago; Wash ington Coal Used Be-
 cause No B. C. Coal.

The Iatouche sailed Saturday from Seattle for Southeastern Alas ka with 7S4 tons of coal for Juneau and Douglas. She will be due here Thursday, as she has but one stop 1 to make before reaching this port. She is bringing Puget Sound coal, as it was impossible to get British Columbia coal. The coal was taken by the Pacific Coast Coal Company from the supplies that were intend ed for other points on account or the urgent need for it in Alaska, as represented by Agents R. k. Young and w. E. Novel; of the Pacific Coast Coal Company and the Alaska Steamship Company.
 Advices have been received that the Cordova is loading coal at Ma naimo and will sail from there De cember p with 750 tons of British Columbia coal for Juneau and Douglas.
 The Skagway will sail from Ma naimo for Juneau with 1,500 tons of British Columbia coal December 70.
 Letters and teegrams received from Seattle in the last mall snow that arrangements had been made for the sailing of the Latouche with coal for Gastineau Channel more than a week ago. The delay in her sailing was due to the blockade at the Tacoma smelter in unloading copper ore, where passenger shlps are given the preference over the freighters.
 The Pacific Coast Coal Company has done it's best to secure British Columbia coal for Alaska, and early this month the Alaska steamship Company was promised that the nrst British Columbia coal available for shipment had been allotted to the Pacific Coast Coal Company, Tor sNigIaent to Juneau and Douglas.
 "1he Pacific Coast Coal Company, contrary to the representations of so4ao oeca.e, GO not desire to sell their err D-CIuct in Alaska, where the rri.s.ah Columbia coal gives greater satisfaction said MT Young tLis morning. "The com pany has contracted for all Of US product, and is, in addition, buying all the surplus product of other Washington mines that it can se- cure to meet it's contracts. It has 1 been after the British Columbia mines for coal for Alaska all fall, and is now taking coal for the La ! touche shipment from it's bunkers because there is no other coal avail able It secured the promise some time ago that the very first Nanai- mo eoal available for shipment would be given it, and the Nordova is now being loaded at Nanaimo Tor ! the Pacific Coast Coal Company.
 Precautions in the distribution of the coal in Juneau and the mod eration of the weather have removed danger of suffering on account oi the shortage of the coal supply There is believed to be ample coal m Juneau to last until the arrival of the Latouche.

OIL LEASING BILL HELD UP

The Anchorage Times has received
advices from the national capital to
the effect that the proposed oil land
leasing bill, which has been passed
nv the senate and has been fdvorably
reported by the house committee on
public lands, is being held up at the
instance of Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, and there is slight hope for
the passage of the bill at this session
of congress. The navy secretary, it
appears, objects to that portion of the
bill that applies to certain government
oil lands in the state of California,
which have been reserved for the use
of the navy.
These government oil lands in the
state of California have long been
the stumbling block in the way of the
passage of a bill permitting the open
ing and development of the oil lands
of Alaska. Since the year 1906, this
territory's oil lands have been with
drawn from the public domain and
remained undeveloped, and the fact Is
due, primarily, to the situation in Cal
ifornia. Bill after bill has been in
troduced in congress covering the
period from 1906 until the present
time, and all of them have met the
fate that awaits the present measure.
1t seems absurd that a controversy
about the oil lands in California should
be employed to tie up all the INDICATED
oil lands in the United States and its
possessions. We, in Alaska for the
most part, have to import the fuel
necessary for our use, when we have
plenty of the product right at home,
if we were allowed to develop oil
wells
1t is just another instance of the
total Indifference to Alaska, so far as
most members of congress are con-
cerned. One would suppose that in
times like these, when there is such
an enormous demand for fuel oil, that
the oil-bearing lands would quickly be
thrown open to development, under
some form of regulation that might
be imposed. But it is perhaps too
much to expect such relief. Our gov
eminent will save fuel oil by limiting
it's use, thus mountaineering many
people, rather than adopt sane
course with respect to oil develop
ment.

LOOKING PAST THE HARD LUCK

1t is great to be an optimist.
Ever tried it?
Hard at first to train yourself that
way, but it pays in the end.
Be bigger than the trifles of every
day annoyance.
You have hard luck; you can't help
it; forget it.
Don't forget the lesson involved,
but forget to mourn over it.
Look ahead and see brightness in
the future.
Danish regret and useless remorse.
1t is misfortunes or mistakes which
have started most men on the road
to real achievement.
In future you may look back to your
lost profits, lost position, lost friends,
as stepping stones to ultimate success.
= A land of opportunity lies before
you
Have faith in your ability to grasp
some of it.
You cannot be a down-and outer if
you have confidence in yourself.

ITALY FULLY PREPARED
TO MEET ENEMY ATTACKS

HEADQUARTERS ITALIAN ARMY,
June 21,-Genera1 Crozier of the
American ordnance department and a
member of the advisory war board has
spent a week Of observation along
the Italian front and at the various
large centers where artillery and mu-
nitions are produced.
Besides seeing General Diaz and the
Duke of Aosta he visited a number
of the corps and division commanders
along the mountain and Piave fronts
going into the trenches among the
men, discussing the many questions of
equipment and supplies and specially
observing the resources in guns His
impressions on the general condition
of affairs were entirely favorable.
The production of artillery in Italy
has been greatly intensified within
recent months and the present eo&fp
ment of light, field and heavy guns
is probably as good or better than
it was before the reverse of last fall.
The great industrial plants of Genoa
and Milan have doubled anf quad
rupIed their output in guns, trench
mortars, rifles, machine guns, the pro-
duction of mortars increasing sever
fold during the year.
Similar extensive development has
been going on in the production OF
mines and armor for naval coRstaTuc !
rfon and in the output of airplanes,
ninety establishments being now
equipped to turn out complete air
planes.

HUN ATROCITIES

SADLY DEPICTED

WASHINGTON, June 20.-As a eli
max to the atrocities in Belgium. the
German military despots now have
gone so far as to interfere with the
religious liberties of the civilian popu-
lation of the occupied territories.
A letter written to Pope Benedict
by the bishop of Journal, made pub
lie here by the Belgian legation tells
how Bavarian soldiers summarily
halted religious services throughout
one-third of the bishops diocese on
November IA of last year.
Il am fulfilling a painful duty"
wrote the bishop, Gin informing your
holiness of the ordinations commit
ted in my churches on November IA
last by the Bavarian army. Through
out the depot zone, that is to say,
throughout one-third of my diocese,
the soldiers came to the churches and
converts at o'clock in the morning.
They stopped the services, emptied
the churches, and in some of them
obliged the priest at the altar to in
terrupt holy mass"

STICKING TO THE LITTLE HOME
TOWN

Yong man, if you have good pros
poets in the little town, STICK.
: If you can look ahead and see your
self on the way to old-age comfort
and affluence, you are foolish to con-
slider going to a city which your day
dreams picture to you as the seat of
great success.
Opportunities abound, possibly, but
how about the expenses?
Will you be able to save more?-
that is the great question.
! You think you might go to the city
and try it; andsif you fail, return to
the home town and pick up your work
again, with more experience.
True, you might; but few men dc
return until they are too old to be
very aggressively useful in any place.
Thousands are struggling on, year
in and year out, trying to make good
in the city, in all cities, but they be
come worn out, worked out machines
practically worthless in modern-day
activities.
If your prospects are good, stay
where you are and build them up. The
outlook for Cordova never looked
brighter

viii have to be transported to
the new location at a very busy
time. Every harvester turned
out at the new location would
have TO be hauled at least 800
miles farther than is done with
the Pendleton made harvester.
Estimating the output at 100
harvesters each year this would
mean in one season 100000
miles Of needless transpOrta-
ton. If each harvester re-
quires a freight car to move it
it would mean the tying up of
100 cars for probably a week
longer than would otherwise
be necessary.
The logic of the situation
calls for keeping the Blewett
harvester factory in Pendleton,
until after the war at least.
The management Of that cor
poration cannot help the gov
ernment by adding to the rail-
road burden when relief is
asked for; they cannot serve
the stockholders by taking a
course they may have to re-
trace when the new freight
policy comes fully into vogue.
Considerations Of patriotism as
we'll as fairness to this city call
for operating the harvest + fac
tory where it now stands.
