GOVERNMENT URGED
TO RUSH WORK IN
ALASKA COAL FIELDS

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, April s.
Definite and comprehensive action
should be taken by the federal govern
ment to bring about early and proper
development of the coal resources of
Alaska, Andrew Christensen, manager
of the Land and industrial department
of the Alaskan engineer commission.
declares in report 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 1t may be in
order to offer necessary inducements.
both the law and terms of tho lease
should be amended.
Congress, on July /, 1918, pro-
vided S1,OO0,0OO for use Of the navy
for mining or contracting for coal in
Alaska. 1t also provided that part
of this money should be used in trans
porting such coal to tidewater, but
as yet no mining operations or con-
tracts 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 land development. This
TENDER and October and made thor
ougfh study of Alaska resources. It
is hoped that when this committee
submits its report a definite and COM
prehensive policy will be adopted for
the development of the 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.
In adopting policy the following
are som eof 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-
tons under the law.
Whether or not the government
should undertake the mining of coal
under the million dollar appropria-
ton.
ITO 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
Boring river coal field.
'If so, what should be the policy of
the government with reference to fur
nising the necessary transportation
facilities for the Boring river coal.
what steps. If any, should be ta-
ken with reference to furnishing nee
essary transportation facilities for
coal between Alaska and the states"

RANKED WITH GREAT POETS
John Greenleaf Whittier Has Written
His Name Among the lmmortais
of the Earth.

John Greenleaf Whittier. one Of the
best loved and most famous of Amer
lean poets. and. perhaps, the most ar
dent abolitionist known to United
States history. was born December -
near Haverhill, Mass. He was appren-
ticed to journalism and became an ed
itor at the early age of twenty-five.
He held various editorial positions, and
throughout his life devoted himself to
the writing of both prose and poetry,
having no doubt deep inspiration in
that he belonged to the same age that
gave Emerson and Longfellow to Amer
lea and Tennyson and the Brownings
to England. With such as his contem-
poraries Whittier, being himself bless
ed with natural talents, could do no
less than what he did in literature.
Whittier. however. Is better known
to fame because of his poems. His
prose is not so exalted, though true.
He wrote my Psalm" Barclay OF
Ury," Barbara Frietchie," AT Sun.
down" and various other wonderful
poems. He lived to be eighty-f1vs
years old, dying peacefully September

HAS UNIQUE TITLE
Sinrok Mary Reindeer Queen OF
Alaska.
AppeiIation Accorded Her Through
Ownership of Herds of Valuable
Animals Loved Throughout
Territory for Generosity.

Coal barOnS, merchant princes, cat
tie kings-we are all familiar with the
figurative aristocracy of wealth; but
more picturesque and unusual is the
title popularity accorded to .Sinrok
Mary, the reindeer queen of Alaska.
Mary's career, as IL is related in the
Sunset Magazine, is one unique in the
world of business and philanthropy.
In 1893 Mary Antisarlok, half Rus
sian, half Eskimo, was rOund-faced,
bright-eyed, sleek-haired young woman,
pretty-we have her own innocently
frank word for it-and a bride. The
government had just decided to i'm
port reindeer from Siberia to Alaska
and had sent Lieutenant BerthOlf, in
the revenue cutter Bear, to negotiate
the purchase. He needed an inter-
prefer, speaking both Russian and
Eskimo, and Mary was engaged. She
was glad Of the opportunity, but I'M
willing to leave her husband; so he
was engaged, too. as sort of Odd-jOb
man aboard; but Mary was the recog-
nized head of the Antisarlok firm. She
made herself intelligently and success
fully useful among the natives with
whom it was necessary to deal, and on
returning to Alaska she was well paid
with a goodly number of reindeer.
These animals were the origin of a
herd that flourished and increased
amazingly, and became, indeed. sew
eral herds. Mary is now raising deer
enough to supply thousands of con-
sumers; and reindeer meat is tender
palatable and delicious, so much SO
that. but for the difficulties of trans
portation, it would probably become a
staple food throughout the country
Mary is rich woman, but she lives
simply in cluster of cabins. perched
upon a rocky promontory thrustinR
seaward, fringed with ever-beating
surf.
1t is common knowledge throughout
Alaska that no one was ever refused
food and lodging at Mary's cabin; it is
also known that. although open-handed
and free, she is a shrewd bargainer
and possesses remarkable commercial
sagacity. Few traders. if any, have
heen able to get the advantage of her
in a. business deal. There are those
in her employ who at times complain
Of her as harsh mistress. for in bust.
