who remain were never III q
better position to reap the re
ward for their long wait and
patience, feeling confident that
sooner or later congress would
furnish legislation by which
known resources could be open
ed up. That time is at hand.
The war has shown congress
that Alaska contains the great
est war assets. Congress is be-
ginning to realize that conser-
walton has been lnisapplied in
Alaska and has throttled and
Strangled development.
With the east freezing and
industries closed for lack of
coal, Alaska has deposits large
enough to supply the world,
once they are opened. With the
government needing every
"ounce" of gasoline and oil it
can secure, crude oil is running
waste into the sea in Alaska.
Alaska has all the raw prod
ucts for manufacturing explo-
SlVes; and its innumerable DOW
er sites and tumbling water
Falls, instead Of being harness
sed, are still unfettered by
mankind. Even though it is
true that most of the shortage
Of coal i'll the east at the pres
ent time is due to lack Of labor,
the reason still holds good that
the coal in Alaska should be
made available for use as
quickly as possible. It can
not be done under the present
leasing system, unless the GOV
eminent itself is willing to go
extensively into the coal bust
ness. The fact that one con-
Germ alleged to have 81 100000
capital back of it has leased
some coal land at Mataiuska
IS no argument in favor of the
leasing system. One million is
merely pocket change in trying
to open coal mines. It will re-
Qulre d good many million dol
lars to make even a start. The
government will never have
any trouble in regulating the
coal industry and preventing
monopoly On the other hand,
unless it @ets busy and removes
some Of the restrictions engen-
dered by hot air reformers who
never lived in Alaska, or ac-
compished a practical task in
their whole lives, the coal will
continue to be conserved for
generations yet unborn; the
vast tracts Of timber most of
is only fit for pulp, will con
tinue to rot; the oil will con-
tinue to ooze out Of the ground
and mix with the sea; the wa
terfalls will continue to be of
no service to man, and the pop
ulatiOn of Alaska continue to
dwindle until only the howl Of
the wolf will echo from one end
to the other. It is about time
to cease the howl of bobble-
gobble, Guggenheims, dema-
gogic chorus for effect only
against the Morgenheims and
invite and welcome the invest
ment Of pioneer capital, the
same as pioneer efforts in any
other direction. The conditions
in Alaska are harsh, requiring
courage and endurance wheth-
CT taking up a farm, running a
sawmill, starting a small local
plant, or opening up a mine.
We hear a great deal about
those who have lost their
"pile' in Alaska, but very lit

WET DOWN COAL TO
 MAKE BURN BETTER
(New York World

Before spending money on any of the o-called coal savers that are being put out now it is well to know what one of the leading heating experts says about them
 Not one person in ten.7 he said ''op- crates the draughts of his furnace properly or handles his coal to the best advantage. Every one of these so- called coal savers that 1 have seen is accompanied by a set of rules to be ob- served in using it. If 9 man will just read these rules and follow them, for getting all about the stuff they come with, he will have the same resulty Is il he used it. For these are nothing but the rules that every one ought to observe at all times in running a fur mace"
 This mans attention was called to a paragraph that has been going the rounds of the British press, to the ef- feet that solution of salt poured over coal will make it burn better and more economically.
 He smiled and said:
 If you want very bright fire. salt will help you, but it's action is to make the coal burn more rapidly. Therefore it is not for any one except him who does not care how quickly his supply of coal is used. It is the sodium in the salt that makes the coal burn SC brightly. bit of pure sodium dropped on water will immediately burst into flame
 What is a sensible practice in the use of coal. however, is to sprinkle il with water before throwing it upon the fire. In some way this seems 10 man, the coal burn to finer ash with fewer clinkers, but l cannot explain why this is So'

RARE TRIBUTE PAID
 LATE ARTHUR HALM

In a letter from Lieutenant James $. Hisley. Camp Lewis, Washington. to a friend in Phoenix is contained some very interesting information that will be appreciatively received by the large number of friends and relatives here of the late Arthur Hahn. Lieutenant Hig- ley had received a personal letter of sympathy from MT. Halm's command ing officer. The letter from the com manding officer itself best explains, and is as follows:
 T cannot speak in too glowing terms of this man who, laboring under a sick ness which he would not admit, was fighting, studying and trying to make good even to the minute I found him in his quarters and ordered him to the Base Hospital. He was told by me that he had passed the course and would be recommended for a commission. Be- loved and highly thought of by every member of his company, this one, the only organization he ever knew, recog- niZed by his instI uctorS as a man of great stability, charming personality, an even disposition and with an ability to absorb knowledge and apply it in- telligently. We could do no other than recommend him-the only civilian can

FORMER CARRIER |S
 HOME OIV FURLOUGH

James F. Davis. formerly a down town carrier for the postoffice, is back
 from Camp Funston for an all-too- brief five-day visit with his mother. at S2S North Fifth avenue. He left last September for Camp Funston, and re- turns with a corporal's stripes to show diligence and ability in the military service Corporal Davis is member of the 340th Field Artillery. a regi- ment considered by him the very best in the army, something due in part to the fact that it is mainly composed of Arizona men and somewhat to the lead- ership of Colonel Yale and staff of other fine officers. He understands that the colonel has made requisition for all the Arizona men who are to come in the April draft. Davis is far from fond Of the Kansas brand of weather, though he is of Kansas peo- pie, who are wonderfully hospHable and patriotic. There appears little prospect for getting across the water very soon
 i'll view of the incoming of many re- cruits, though hundreds of specially qualified men. mainly mechanics. have been started from Funston for France.

 Notice has beenn sent ont to those who have dropped out and intend to seyer permanently their relations with the organization to return their equip ment either at the city hall or throsgh their former company commanders.
 The most amazed man in Phoenix the other day was State Treasurer D. F. Johnson when he saw the picture of his son. D. F. Jr., in the Saturday Even ing Post, one of the illustrations of an article on the American navy in Euro- pean waters. Considerir>A the many thousands of men now in the navy the selection of any one of them for a pie ture is a most remote chance.
 D. F. Jr. entered the navy a year ago, likes it and is making good.
