 "(S) You have mismanaged the ad- ministration of the Alaska coal-leas- ing law in the Boring River coal field as to give the Alaska Synai- cate it's long-desired monopoly, of that fieId with unlimited control over the selling price of coal over the Matdl- uska branch of the Government rail road.
 "(9) You have also leased a stra- getic control over the MatanusEa coal field to another great corpol a. tion, with a practical control of trans portation of it's coal over the Mat anuska branch of the Government railroad
 "101 In short, your administration of these great trusts, under and in the name of the President of the United States, is more than fail ure. It is a positive injury to the development of Alaska-it is just what Congress attempted not to do
 q am informed you have made some suggestion of placing Mir. John r. Ballaine of Seattle in charge of some of the activities of this road, While it may be conceded that he is good citizen and familiar with To- | cal conditions at Seward, where he l is a large property holder, he i' not a practical railroad man and ought not to have any official con. nection with the management of this road.
 Finally, in my judgment, there is no remedy for bringing success to the enterprise or which can save it from public scandal so long as you remain as it's administrator You ought voluntarily to withdraw fron, it's management and ask the Prest dent to place it under charge of a competent railroad contractor and superintendent, who is himself inde pendent and competent or make a full and fair statement of it's pres ent condition to Congress, so tha' body may enact further authorization and appropriation for it's completion under some satisfactory plan to it H will only result in greater injury to hold the lid on longer, and will not add to your reputation"
 Wick Responsible for Suspension
 of Work
 The excerpts and comment on the Wickersham letter occupy about ten columns in the Cordova Times. The Times accuses Wickersham of re sponsibilty for the suspension of 2 work for an indefinite time on the Alaska railroad
 Local people who are informed fear i that the Wickersham letter and other activities might possibly prevent the passage of the appropriation bill for ! the railroad at the special session of Congress which will probably con vene in May.
 | At last accounts Secretary Lane had not resigned as Secretary of the Interior, and the Washington State uelc6dllOH III oOu6ItSS, UOLu OCHd- tors and Representatives had agreed 1 to support the passage of the approp- riation bill for the railroad. Evi- dently they have not been brought to agreement with Wickersham, as il is not believed they would urge the further waste of public money if they believed it was being handled as Wickersham suggests.

Farmers Show the Regulars
How TO Play Ball

One of the most interesting
and well-played games of base
ball ever pulled off in Snowflake
took place on the new diamond
at the county fair grounds last
Saturday between the regulars
and a picked-up team composed
mostly of farmers. 1t was de-
cided that when the scheduled
game between Taylor and Snow
flake would not be played that a
good practice game would not
be amiss, consequently Z of the
regular Snowflake team with
2 picked men would play a picked
town team with the help of a
pitcher and catcher loaned them
from the regulars. The result
was a complete victory at the
end of the nine innings for the
Farmers team by a score of
3 to O. And now the saying is:
IF the Snowflake team can't
beat 'em (meaning any team with
which they are to play) the
Farmers team will try them a
whirl. !" McCloskey and L. S.
Kartchner were the battery for
the farmer boys and Aikens
Smith, j. Crandell and G. Bal
lard for the regulars.

Propose Forming Company
TO Develop Oil Here

Notice to All Who Are Inter-
terested in the Development of
Oil in the South Part of the
County:
1t has occurred to some of the
citizens of Snowflake, Taylor and
other localities of the south part
of the county that some devel-
opment work could be done per-
haps with profit in the south
part of the county. And that
it could be done with local capi-
tai and by home people. Also
that there seems no good reason
for capitalizing company for
thousands Of dollars beyond the
necessities of development, for
if oil is found any well should
be self-sustaining and self-de-
veloping. Let all then who are
interested meet at Snowflake
Monday night, July %. to care
fully go into the matter and let
US see if it is not possible to
develop our locality more and
send less money away for de-
velopment purposes.
