JOSL|N WANTS
 WAY PAVED FOR
 OUTSIDE MONEY

Falcon Joslin, pioneer Alaskan railroad builder, and for many years president of the Panama Valley railroad, now engaged in develop ing oil properties in the Katalla oil field and coal mines in the Boring river field, recently came North to take charge of the work there. He is very hopeful of the outlook for both of his enterprises.
 Mir. Joslin informed a representa- tive of the Empire, while in Juneau, that he had a crew of men working in the oil fields and about 25 men working on the coal properties, and he expects within three months to be able to demonstrate that the properties are such that they will warrant the building of a railroad to them to connect with Cordova. 1t will require about 50 miles of railroad, and he estimates the con- [ struction cost at S2,5O0,000. Mir. Joslin has been working for two or three years on the oil de- velopment in his field, and he took a lease on the coal lands last year By invitation of the joint com mittee of the senate and house which is consideing the bill provid- ing for the organization of a ship ping board and authorizing the ter ritory to enter the transportation business, MT. Joslin made state ment to it during his stay at the territorial capital He is opposed to government ownership where pri- vate ownership can serve the peo- ple He thought Alaska should en- courage capital to come to Alaska rather than discourage it by enter ing into competition with it. He suggested that the territory contest the tariffs of the transportation companies before the federal ship ping board if it regarded them too high. He believed that if the rates are too high, private competition will soon bring about an adjust ment.

MARINES LAND AT COSTA RIGA
 ID SEE FIGHT

SAN SALVADOR, June Ann erican marines have been landed at Costa Rica to watch developments in the revolution which is now in progress, under the leadership of General Tincos. The rebel forces opposing the government are com posed chiefly of political exiles, and the fighting thus far has been con- fined chiefly to the mountains, the opposing forces being engaged in a sort of guerilla warfare near the Nicaraguan border.
 The landing of the marines is a precautionary measure, to safeguard foreign interests in case the revo- lution assumes serious proportions. The government forces at present appear well able to cope with the situation, but there is the danger that the movement will gain in popularity and involve the entire country in strife.
