ALASKAN COAL
REGIONS NEED
DEVELOP PME]Nl
Many Questions to be Con-
sidered in Mining in
North Country.

Anchorage. Alaska. March 12.-.(By
Mail)-Definite and comprehensive
action should be taken by the federal
government to bring about early and
proper development Of the coal re-
sources of Alaska. Andrew .Christen-
son. manager of the land and indus
trial department Of the Alaskan en-
gineer commission. declares in a re-
port just submitted at Washington, D..
c., to William C .Edes. chairman of
the commission.
There is still complaint" the re-
port says, against the provision of
the leasing law, and also against the
terms of the lease. and it may be in
order to offer necessary inducements,
both the law and terms of the lease
should be amended.
Congress on July /, 1918, provid-
ed $1.000,000.000 for use of the navy
for mining or contracting for coal in
Alaska. It also provided that part Of
this money should be used in trans
porting such coal to tidewater, but as
yet no mining operations or contracts
for coal have been made by the navy.
During the summer of 1918 the
secretary of the interior appointed a
special commission to investigate the
question Of coal land development
This committee was in Alaska during
September and october and made a
thorough study of Alaska resources.
1t is hoped that when this committee
submits its report definite and COM
prehensive policy will be adopted for
the development of tho coal lands in
Alaska. There is no question but that
of most vital item to the success of
the government railroad in Alaska is
an early development Of the coal in
dustry.
I'm adopting a policy the following
are some of the questions that should
be considered:
whether there should be any
change in the coal land leasing law
of october 20. 1914.
whether there should be any
changes made in the terms of the
present lease and the leasing regula-
tions under the law.
should undertake the mining of coal
under the million dollar appropria-
ton.
"To what extent. If any. should the
government undertake the mining OF
coal.
Should the government interpose
objections to the construction by pri.
vate interests of railroad into the
Bering river coal field.
If so, what should be the policy
of the government with reference tc
furnishing the necessary Transports
tion facilities for the Bering river coal
What steps, If any should be taker
with reference to furnishing necessary
transportation facilities for coal be-
tween Alaska and the state.34 -

ST.PAUL up
IN ARMS OVER
0'HARE TRICK
The Socialists Pledged She
Would not Speak in Audi
toriurn But She Did.

st. Paul, Minn., April 8.-1ndigna-
ton felt by thousands of citizens of
st. Paul Monday against a speech
Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hare made Sun
day at the auditorium in violation of
the Socialists pledge was voiced be-
fore the city council by Mayor Hodg-
son.
The council will investigate all the
facts in connection with the appear
mothers of soldiers are no better
than brood sows.
A. F. Morton, superintendent Of the
auditorium. will be asked to report
to the council the circumstances at
tending the appearance of Mrs.
O'Hare in the auditorium.
Commissioner Wunderlich said he
already had asked Mr.. Morton for
report. He said that so far as he
could learn the speech of Mrs. OHare
was premeditated.
Insult to City.
"The deliberate violation Of the
pledge made by the managers OF the
Socialist meeting constitutes & wan
Hodgson, land will arouse bitter re-
sentiment among the people of st.
Paul, who have given such positive
evidence of their opposition to the
appearance in the auditorium of per-
sons who have defied and opposed the
purpose of the United States.
Judging by the Pioneer Press re-
port, the appearance of Mrs. O'Hare
was so planned that the auditorium
authorities had scant opportunity to
act, and it may not be fair to criti-
cize anyone FOR the unfortunate oc;
currence. ,a ~
"The city oniciaIs and the citizens
had every right to believe that Mrs
O'Hare could not and would not
speak here. The council unanimously
/ refused permission for her appear
ance in the auditorium. Mr.. Clancy
absolutely refused permission for her
appearance in any city park.
Worth of Pledge Shown.
1.-THE Socialists gave their pledge
that she would not speak in the audi
torium. We know now just what
that pledge is worth.
1--WE owe it to ourselves and to the
people of st. Paul to go into this
! matter in such a manner as will
make such violations of public. sentl-
ment impossible in the future"
For violating their pledge the So
cialists probably will be denied fur
ther use of the auditorium when the
council has completed it's investiga-

Bismarck, \N. D., April s.-An un-
usual building year promises to usher
in the reconstruction era for Bis
marck. The expenditure Of 100000
on the new North Dakota memorial
building, on the state house grounds,
and of $4,000 in the extension of the
capitol street railway was assured by
the state legislature. Senator F. A.
Hughes today announced that as soon
as Architect A. VanHorn returns
from an eastern inspection trip. plans
will be drawn and bids asked for a
new vaudeville and picture house on
Broadway, with seating capacity of
500, and to cost $4,000. 1t is possi-
BILE that bonds may be voted during
the spring for another $4,000 grade
school. There will be some expendi-
ture in remodeling the temporary
home of the Bank of North Dakota
to be located in the capital city busi-
ness district, and an unusually large
number of fine homes is under con-
sideration. '

In speaking of his attack upon GER
tain laws passed by the legislature,
Mr.. Kositzky said:t
LAS an American citizen and tax
payer of this state I contend that l
have perfect right to object to such
laws as the printing and educational
as a good citizen when combat them.
II allowed to stand, they will hang
onto the people of this state Two of
the most un-American and undemo-
cratic laws ever enacted in the whole
United States.
Several of us state officials have
been branded towards, fools and
traitors because we oppose some of
the laws enacted during the last ses-
sion Of the legislature. and it now is
up to the people of this state to de-
eide who are the real towards, fools
and traitors There is Bill LANCER,
who has lived in this state his whole
life: Simon Nagel and Senator Mees
OF Morton county; State Treasurer
Obert Olson, Thomas Hall, and my
self. We all have lived in North Da-
kota the greater part of our lives;
the people know who we are; they
know that we have helped build up
the country and are taxpayers of this
state. Are they going to believe these
agitators, who have lived in this state
but short time and pay no taxes
whatever? Are they going to believe
that we are towards, fools and
traitors'?''
In closing, Mr.. Kositzky said:
