720 long tons or 860 long tons would be saved on every trip from Seattle. By carrying cargo instead of coal in this space the company revenues would be increased.
 Coal is not far from being half way between Seattle and Moji, where trans Pacific liners usually coal, ac- cording to MT. Haines. From Seattle to Moji, via Kulok, it is 4,848 miles. Kulok is 2,14O miles from Seattle and 2,708 from Moji.
 A plan for the establishment of a similar mid-Pacific coal station at Dutch Harbor, Alaska, was discussed before all Alaska coal lands were withdrawn in 1906.

THE SPECIAL SESSION.

AZ last Governor olcott yielded to
the demand of the suffragettes for a
special session to ratify the Federal
Constitutional amendment. We had
thot he would, and hoped that he
wouldn't. not because OF opposition
to the cause OF woman's suffrage but
to satisfy our desire to see a public
official who could tell that militant
bunch Of women where he stood, and
then had the nerve TO stay with that
declaration.
There may have been around Port
land and at Salem. somewhat Of de-
mand for the special session on this
ground. but there certainly was not n
demand over the state generally
Therefore in yielding the Governor
has allowed himself to serve a special
clique. But at that he should not be
censured too severely. II really Is
too much to expect a man to fight
bunch OF women, especially with an
Just few months in the
offing.
There IL another thing about the
call that strikes us as peculiar. That
is that the women's ratification

ness in which there is comparatively
no investment. The public has the
right to expect the men in this bust
ness of keeping some stock on hand.
On the other hand, these business
men have the right to expect the pub
lie to have some consideration for
them and to spread at least some of

many householders TO store their
winters supply.
SO the fault for the shortage Is not
to be charged to the dealers alone,
tho they have their share of respon-
sibility, but to the lack of good judg-
ment on the part of the public, and
of course largely to the strike. A
little better team work all round
would have averted lot OF grief.
Thanks to break in the coal strike
and the efficient handling of the fuel

proposition is placed fifth on the list.
In importance that is it's proper loca-
tion, but politically It was the all inn
portant reason for calling the solons
together.
As combination of vote getting
reasons, we submit that the Governor
has the prettiest bouquet we have
seen for some time; namely:
The amendment of the Workmen's
Compensation act to increase awards
for disabled workmen; to appropri-
ate money for the soldier and sailors
educational fund; to submit an
amendment to restore capital pun
ishment; to remedy the irrigation
ana drainage bonds interest guaran-
tee law; and lastly to ratify the fed
eral suffrage amendment.

wise in uniting them as the reason
for the call, but had the call not been
issued no doubt the state could have
worried along without the changes.
Still perhaps the Governor Is
rieht and we ought TO have these
things done now, and the solons viii
no doubt act accordingly Since the
call was issued without the guaran-
tee Of the lawmakers to restrict their
activity and forswear their pay and
mileage, the boys will draw down
the usual fees and can go as far as
they think the Governor will stand
before using his veto. All this Is as
II should be. for the country Is
rather satisfied that II has seen
enough exercise OF executive power
over the legislative branches for the
time being.

SUBSCRIPTIONS, .... One Year $3.50
THE PERInnICAI vow.

Right now there are hundreds Of
citizens Of these western states who
are making their periodical vow to
store coal during the sumer
months. And right now II is a safe
bet that not half of them will act ON
that impulse, sane and logical tho
Il Is.
II IL strange that the public does
not profit by experience Society is
80 used to take things for granted
that It is the exceptional individual
that lays mp supplies for the future.
The human family does not have the
foresight of the humble squirrel who
stores his nest with nuts for the long
winter
Three years ago Ontario went thru
a coal shortage almost as acute as
that which we are experiencing this
winter. There was some suffering
end the city was In bad shape. As the
result there was a more general
storing of coal last year and the year
previous, but this year there was
comparatively little coal stored. In
other words It took this community
but three years to forget its bitter
coal experience.
There Is another phase of this sit
uation 80 far as Ontario II concerned.
In reality We have no fuel dealers In
the city; that is men who have any
money Invested In the business. II ls

Agent hurry has been so active
among the shippers of Cordele during
the Better Service Campaign of the
American Railway Express Co., that
some of his friends think he has gone
"Nutty' on the subject.
That the campaign for better pack
ing and marking of express shipments
has achieved concrete results, was
indicated by the reports made at the
Beater Service meeting of local ex-
press employees today Agent hurry
announced that not only were pacages
being received in better condition for
shimpment but that there was notice
able falling off in the number consign-
ments sent to the mo Mark" bureaus
of the express company.

expressmen to live up to the new
slogan of Dieter service" were a fea-
ture of the meeting, which is to be the
last of the present campaign. The

formed among the local force and com
posed of w. S. hurry, Agent, C. l..
Lowe, o. H. Clerk and j. H. Jones,
Transfer Clerk, had an opportunity
tell their fellow workers what they
had done during the campaign, and
why they believed that the results
of the cooperation extended to them
by shippers would be far reaching.

workers will not be allowed to let
their efforts for better service end
