standings relative to coal shipments.
We are trying TO do business
along business lines, if we can. y
Mr.. Browne informed a representa-
tive of The News this afternoon.
We want the people Of Fairbanks
to have coal, if they want it, but
we do not feel warranted in laying
track across the river, al a cost of
approximately $4,000. unless there
is the assurance that the business
Of the railroad will be increased by
a demand for a substantial amount
OF fuel

informed that the requests for coal
thus far received by the manage
ment of the Healy River Coal cor
poration were such as to indicate
little demand for fuel in the Fair
banks district But he wants TO
make personal survey of the stu
alton and is going to Fairbanks to
talk with prospective coal users d.

In Future

Baton Rouge, La, January 23:-lm-
mediate action is requested. by the
Council of Defense in order that the
local or community councils may be
placed upon permanent basis. A
letter lust received by Secretary
John Marshall from Director Gros-
vernon B. Clarkson says: "Commun-
ity councils are of more than pres
ent value The community organiza-
tiori which they have initiated is a
permanent need of the United States
and permanent provision should be
made for it by legislation. Commun-
ity or organization will bring into
our national life much needed ele-
ment of cooperative endeavor and
civic orderliness which will go far to
make our Government both democrat
ic and efficient in public service"
The Council of National Defense
urges the enactment Of legislation
at the next session of the Legisla-
ture which will provide for the de-
velopment of community organiza-
tion and for permanent state leader
ship to all organized communities.
Until this can be done the various
units of the State Council of Defense
will be urged to consider themselves
as permanent forms of organization
and to broaden and strengthen them
selves. as we'll as to push the COM
munity council scheme of organiza-
tion into such localities as are not
already touched.

BY this time the more intelligent Of
the kaiser's subjects must have learned
to translate ''in the rear" into what 1t
really means. They must have found
that It tells the story Of defeat and

that it records the movement Of the

There is striking article in Knowl-

careful directions as to how the light

altogether independently Of any ex-
traneous light source; in fact. they
grow and produce light better If kept
entirely in the dark. Their efficiency
as light producers Is extremely high,
and were it possible to carry out on

at A and B in the sketch, the tone will

mated at C, is then cut between the
two holes, still another change Of tone
is effected. By driving a metal rod,
E, into one Of the holes and trimming
1t off flush with the internal and eX-

changed. Filling up the second hole

Parachute Jump From Alrpiane.

The first successful experiment on
record Of jumping from moving air
plane with parachute was recently
made by Captain Sarrat, French
aviator. This intrepid airman leaped
from a height Of 800 yards with an
umbrella some twelve yards in diam
eter, and landed safely. He was three
minutes In the air. suspended from
the parachute. Previous to this test
numerous experiments were carried
out in France with sandbags, and the
practicability Of the scheme was es-
tablished beyond reasonable doubt. But
it goes without saying, nevertheless,
that 1t required real courage to be the
first to risk life and limb in an actual

Morgan City May be Port
Between Brownsv lille
And N. O. For Freight
And Passenger Ships
Brownsville-Tampico Transfer
Company Have Eyes on this
City AS Port For Sea-
going Vessels E.

AS another industrial possibility
that is looming large n the city's list
of greater development. comes the
news that the big Brownsville-T am
pico Transfer company, with head
quarters at Brownsville, Texas. will
seek water routes from New Orleans
to Brownsville.
George T. Goodman, one OF the
city's big boosters. familiar with
many steamship directors and cap
tains, we'll posted on gulf water af-
fairs, is in receipt of eommunica-
ton from A. =. Fox, vice-president
and general manager of the, company,
who by the way is a personal friend
of Mr.. Goodman. in which the writer
explains some things he has in view,
on the coming possibility of such a
steamship line.
1t is proposed to operate vessel
of some 200 tons, light draft, between
New Orleans and Brownsville, back
ed by a $4,000 corporation. But this
is not the only feature that this prop
osition embraces. 1t looms UP large
for Morgan City for the reason that
steps are going to be Immediately
made to make Morgan City an inter-
mediate port for the traffic.
Merchants Of this city will welcome
the opportunity of using water routes
from this port to the port Of New
Orleans, not only from the saving of
freight charges: which are bound to
be lower, but from the fact that such
freight handled from this port to dis
tant ports means only one transfer
or one handling instead of several
points where transfer takes place
and where transfer charges are gen.
orally made.
Again, such ships to be used can
be built here in Morgan City. This
would mean an accrued revenue for
the city as we'll as establishing ma
rine and maritime connections result
ing in the greatest publicity for the
city as we'll as regular port of ar
irving and departing sh.os.
Already, a large number of mer-
chants have subscribed themselves
to 100 per cent of their business. The
Brownsville Tampieo Transfer COM
pany would also be benefited by in
cluding this city on its list of water
stops. Shipyards here could give
mechanical aid when necessary with
out the extra cost of steaming to far
distant points for repairs. Docks
now here, without much expenditure
of capital, could be repaired to suit
the docking facilities needed.
Coal, wood, provisions. oils ma
chinery and other necessities are
here for vessels with open market
prices much quicker delivered and
assembling depots could be created
without any great cost. Warehouses
for freight can easily be secured
Passenger service alone would be
secured that would amount to a great
