THE LEASING BILL

The attention of the Times has been called to an erroneous interpre- tation placed upon the oil land leas ing bill recently passed by the senate of the United States, in an editorial published last Monday. In that arti- c1e it was stated that "where claims were staked under the old law and the assessment work properly kept up, the parties that have held them will be entitled to the first chance to lease, if they so desire, and will have six months in which to decide"
 It would appear that in order to take advantage of this provision claimants must have expended at least $250 in Improvements on or for each location, or have kept up assessment work on the claims up to the time of withdrawal" in 1910.

Wood Alcohol

The wood alcohol used in the Unit ed States is obtained chiefly from the destructive distillation of WOOd-hard wood, birch, beech, maple, oak, elm and alder being those most frequently used. The chief uses to which it is put are for the denaturing of grain alcohol; for various purposes in lines of common manufacture (especially as a solvent in the preparation of shellac, varnish, dyes, etc., as an in gredient in medical and pharmaceuti- cal preparations; in the chemical in- dustries and as fuel and illuminant
 Only within recent years has wood alcohol become so dangerous to life and sight. Formerly it was a dark bad-smelling, bad-tasting fluid which no one was tempted to drink. Later a process was developed by which this color, smell and taste are re- moved. Wood alcohol, when purified in this way, loks, smells and tastes like grain alcohol, and may thus be easily substituted for it by, unscrup- ulous persons.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-09-18
DEPARTMENT WARNS
 AGAINST WOOD ALCOHOL

Owing to the heavy increase recent ly noted in the number of deaths and cases of blindness resulting from the drinking of wood alcohol by those ignorant of it's dangers the National Committee for the Prevention of Blindness, 130 East Twenty-second street, New York, is sending broad cast special warnings of the tragic consequences which may follow the use of wood alcohol, denatured alco- hol and medicated alcohol for bever- age purposes.
 Occasional cases of this nature have been occurring from time to time for many years, but since na- tional prohibition went into effect, there has been an alarming increase in all sections of the country due to the preparations of drinks in which wood alcohol has been used or in some cases where it has been taken straight.
 The harmful action of this poison comes not only from taking it inter- nally, but may likewise be induced by breathing it's fumes, and by ab- sorption through the mucus mem branes of the body. It's effect is us ually noticeable very shortly after exposure. Within a few hours after drinking, acute headache is noted, usually accompanied by violent at tacks of vomiting, body pains, extend ing over the region of the kidneys, and excessive dizziness. Vision may become impaired, total blindness oc- cur, and death itself result.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-09-18
Denatured Alcohol

In 1906, congress, following the lead of European countries, enacted a law permitting the general use of a tax-free industrial (denatured) do- mestic alcohol in order to stimulate industrial purposes for which the high cost of grain alcohol was prohibitive. Denatured alcohol usually consists of 90 per cent grain alcohol and 10 per cent wood alcohol, thus rendering it unfit for drinking. It is being in- creasingly substituted for wood alec hol in many industrial uses, to elimi- nate the great dangers attendant up- on the use of the latter.

M edicated Alcohol

Pharmacists who hold permits and have given bond are allowed to medi- cate it in accordance with any one of nine formulas specified by the com missioner of internal revenue, United States treasury department. Car bOlic acid, formaIdehyde and bichlOr- ide of mercury are the chief of these denaturing agents. The container of such medicated alcohol must bear Poison" label. The sale by pharma- cists of medicated alcohol for indus trial purposes is prohibited. It is sold chiefly for rubbing purposes.
 In spite of these regulations and precautions some persons are using these poisons for drinking purposes, even at times completely disregard ing the poison" label which may have appeared on the bottle. In other instances, the victims have been ignorant of the dangers of that which they were using-the beverage having been prepared by others and sold under false pretences or under some misleading name. When the original manufacturer of mixtures of this nature can be apprehended he has been, in many instances subject ed to severe punishment by the courts.

WtCkERSHAM AND THE
 RAILROAD

In an interview printed in the An chOrGge Times, evidently written or dictated by himself, James Wicker sham suggests that there should be no politics considered in the cOnstruc- tiOn of such a project" referring to the construction of the government railroad. The former delegate ap- pealed to AIaskans "to give their un- stinted support to Colonel Mears, whose efforts are being directed to bringing the construction of the great Alaska railroad to a successful cul- mnatiOn."
 Taken as whole, the interview" is about as audacious as any public utterance ever made by Wickersham To show his utter indifference to the manner in which his past actions may be viewed by the public, Judge Wick, ersham has the effrontery to give voice to the following sentiments:
 "TaIking about the Lane controver- sy Judge Wickersham states that no answer was made by Secretary Lane to his letter of last spring until re- gently, when Colonel F. Mears was given sole charge of the completion of the government railroad
 ''TO the judge this was decidedly satisfactory answer and Judge Wick ersham publicly appeals to the people Of Anchorage and this vicinity as we'll as the government railroad employees to give their loyal and unqualified support to Colonel Mears, who in the judges estimation is the most compe- tent and active railroad constructor ever in Alaska
 "ColOnel Mears' experience in the early stages of the work, and his more recent successes in France engaged in similar work, Judge Wickersham declares will undoubtedly be of great assistance in the completion of the great AlaSk1 rallrOad
 It is perhaps unnecessary to recall to Alaskans the letter to Secretary Lane to which Wickersham here re- fers. It was probably as impudent and uncalled for as any communica- tic1l ever addressed to a public off, cial. Tn it all the spleen of the dis appointed politician was let loose, and the most biased and partisan ut terances were made.
 'Loal and unqualified support" al ways has been given to the project by the people of Anchorage; but not so with the former delegate. He has used it as he has used other interests of the territory, to further his own political designs. And now that it is popular to be with the railroad con- structors he finds no difficulty in changing his tactics to suit the cir cumstances.
 There is a vast difference between the utterances of Wickersham the suppliant for favors from the people of Anchorage and Wickersham the politician at Washington. Tn the lat ter role he can with impunity attack the project and everyone connected
The Cordova daily times., 1919-09-18

with it, endangering it's success through the withholding of appropria- tions. But when he seeks advantage he finds no difficulty in trimming his sails to suit the changing wind, and calling for support for the very off, cials whom formerly he found it ad- visable to attack. Secretary Lane is still in control of railroad construc, tion, just as he was when Wicker sham made his vicious attack on the secretary of the interior.

Headed British Foreign Office

Nicount Grey of Fallodon, formerly
Sir Edward Grey, comes to the United
States to represent the British govern
ment after a brilliant career as head
of the British Foreign Office. For
eleven years momentous in the politi-
cal affairs of Europe, he was Secretary
Of State for Foreign Affairs, from
December II, 1905, to December II,
1916.
On several occasions during that
ward Grey that caused the gathering
clouds of war to disappear. 1t was he
who made the last effort to prevent the
European War, when he urged the am
bassadors of the leading powers to
meet and discuss the situation. in an
attempt to put off hostilities. His ef
fort failed through the attitude of the
German government and the German
Emperor
Gladstone, under whom Sir Edward
served in his younger days, described
him thus:
Il never knew in a man such anti
tude for political life, and such disin-
clination for it,"
A Liberal in politics, Viscount Grew
sat IN the House Of Commons from
1883 to 1916 as the representative of
the Berwick on Tweed Division of
northumberland. From 1892 to 1898
ne was Under Secretary of State for
Forelgn Affairs under the Earl of
Roseberry. His first position after
leaving oxford was as private secre-
tary to Sir L. Barring, later Earl of

Mr.. Bonar Law added that perman-

would be appointed early next year.
The House, Mr.. Bonar Law said,
would share with the government in
appreciating the patriotic action of
Viscount Grey, which, in the opinion
of the government, was of the highest
value in its influence on relations be-
tween the two governments and the
British and American people.
Serves Despite Disability
Commander Kenworthy asked why
Lord Grey was not appointed perman-
entity. In reply, Mr.. Bonar Law said
the government would be only zoo
glad if Lord Grey would accept per-
manent post, but every one who knew
of the former foreign secretary's dis
abilities, would share in the satisfac-
tlon over his present action.
T. P. O'Connor, asked what instruc-
tons would be given Viscount Grey to
improve relations between Great
Britain and America by the settlement
and concliation of the Irish question.
Mr.. Bonar Law replied that he was
sure Lord Grey would do all in his
power to improve in every respect
where Improvement was necessary the
relations between America and Great
Britain.
