FROM THE CHILD'S STANDPOINT.

That children may measure a city's "class"
is the suggestion of Prof. William B. McKeever,
Of the University of Kansas. McKeever has
made welfare work among children in many
parts of the country a specially. Recently he
has issued a score card by which a city's STAN
dards can be figured, based on it's environment
for children.
There are ten points included in the score
card upon which may be judged the town as a
place in which to raise children.
Here they are:
Play for children in parks and plaXg rounds;
Industry. including work classes in the schools,
vacation chapces for it, and the conditions for
juvenile employment:
up" with the community:
Health. covering nursing, health inspection
and hospitals;
Scoutcraft for both boys and girls:
movies and dance halls;
Sociability, which touches that side of exis-
tence known as community life;
Religion. in all its forms;
dren's constructive as we'll as educational prob
lens;
Housing, features of which include its ade-
quacy, sanitation. and comfort.
Upon that sort of a quiz, how does our town
check up?

DIESEL ENGINES
 ON STEAMERS
 OF ALASKALINE

The Alaska steamship company is perfecting plans to install Deise1 en- zines in it's vessels running north, and soon the merry output of the gas engine will be heard from the Ala meda, Northwestern and Alaska, as they enter port, according to infor- nation received from Seattle on one of the last boats.
 By the installation of these oil en- zines, which have proven a success in ocean going vessels, the company will add tremendously to the cargo space, take a larger number of men from the engine and firerooms, and consume about 90 barrels of fuel oil on trip now taking hundreds of barrels
 The freighters of the company will be among the f1rst boats changed over to be followed by the passenger yes sells.
 The move will be an innovation in steamship circles, as it will be the first line to equip all it's vessels with Deisels.

OBJECT OF NAVY COMMISSION IS
 MINING OF COAL

"We came North to mine coal" was the straightforward answer of Com mander B. c. Bowling of the navy commission, when asked by Q Seward Gateway representative what was the purpose of the navy commission on the present trip. Commander Dowl ing and his aides arrived on the Ala meda and will remain in Seward sev- eral days studying the situation at this end and will thenego to the Mat Ianuska coail fields, the scene where the commissions activities will center.
 Accompanying Commander Dowl- ing are Lieut.. w. F. Hill, Lieut. H.. J. McManus, Lieut.. Phil. J. Weiss, Lieut.. Harry H. Tipton and Lieut. R. T. Can non.
 Commander Bowling and Lieut. Hill are accompanied by their wives, land Lieut. Weiss is accompanied by his sister. The commission party is making it's headquarters at the Hotel Seward while in the city.
 Commander Bowling looked a trifle
 surprised yesterday afternoon when asked for the purpose of the navy commission. His answer, however, came quickly and was as different from the answer of other heads of commissions as there is between day and night
 The navy commission now in Alas ka has come for work
 Other commissions, and their num-
 Der seems to have been legion have come to report, and then this has been forgotten.
 According to advance reports and from information obtained from the members of the present commission, mining coal will be started in the Matanuska fields for the Pacific fleet of the American navy. The coal will be, or should be, shipped to navigable water. The primary thing is to get the coal from the earth, and to get it to a location where navy ships may have it for use at any time of the Iyear, when wanted. If the present commission accomplishes this purpose it will have done what other com missions to Alaska, all put together, have only thought of, not attempted.
 Commander Bowling is an impress sive man, impresses one like a real commander and one who means busi- ness. The other members of the com mission also give one the instant inn pressiOn that they are different from members of former commissions sent to Alaska, and have come to execute, not to report.
The Cordova daily times., 1920-06-01

There continually floats around this section of Alaska a rumor that some future time Portage bay will be a site for coal bunkers and a cOaling station similar to those planned at Seward On the map Portage bay looks like a good suggestion, but the twelve miles of railroad which would have to be built from the present government railroad to Portage bay will not be built in a night. There is practically five miles of tunnel work and then part of the roadway would lead over something that no one seems to know exactly whether it is a surface glacier Tor one extending down into the earth for a great distance Then millions of dollars would have to be spent in clearing out reefs, rocks and other pTeventatives to navigation before any sane commander of a large vessel would attempt many maneuverings in the bay. On the map Portage bay looks feasible, but in reality, a for tune would have to be spent to make that location available. Anchorage and Seward are therefore, according to re- ports of commissions, the only two practical points for the outlet of the Matanuska coal.
