PACIFIC FLEET
 SOON ID USE
 ALASKA COAL

Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who is on his way to the states from a hurried trip through the coast of the territory, has wired to his department at Washington that the Alaska coal fields may eventually afford a source of supply for the entire Pacific fleet. He says test of the coal showed it entirely suited for naval uses and the deposits appear to be large Secre- tary of Interior Payne has also ex- pressed the belief that Alaska's coal supply will be adequate for the navy before long. In a recent interview he said: There is supposed to be a great deal of oil in Alaska, but that is not a matter of certainty as yet. We do know that the territory has immense resources of coal, and we are starting to get it out. The Matanuska fields, in South-central Alaska, offer 48 square miles of possible coal, bitu- minous; but the formation is irregu- lar, the beds covered by gravel and exposed only in stream banks, so that no estimate can be ventured of the quantity available.
 Much the same description applies to the Boring fields, near the coast and east of the mouth of Copper river. They can be reached by constructing a branch from existing Copper river railroad, which was built to develop very important copper deposits near the head waters of the same stream.
 we are starting to develop the Matanuska fields for the navy. Up to now the coal needed for our war ships on the Pacific coast has been carried across the continent by rail, but before long an adequate supply will be obtained from Alaska

 During the war, Mir. Vanderbilt was active in hospital work and relief abroad and in promoting the work ot the Lafayette Escadrille.

NOME ADVERTISES

Beginning several weeks ago the Nome chamber of commerce, Nome, Alaska, launched campaign de- signed to rebuild the camp by instill- ing new life into old industries and opening up new ones- The chamber of commerce, states the Nome Mug get, "aims at exploitation of the re- sources and development needs of Nome and the Seward peninsula.
 It is a praiseworthy. effort that the Nome people are making and is de- serving of the fullest success. Her business men are proving that they are wide awake to the opportunity offered them by the present attitude of interest in the Territory being dis played in every part of the United States. Capital is looking for a place to invest where it may be assured of reasonable return.
 Commenting on the work under taken the Nugget says: Nome can and will prosper far beyond our most optimistic hopes if the enor- nous resources of the surrounding district are exploited and made pro- ductive and the highly desirable re- suit can be achieved only by advertis- ing as broadly as possible what we have to attract the settler and the in- yestor." Not only is this true of Nome; but it applies equally to other towns in the territory, including Jun- eau. Our town needs outside c9nita1 to realize the immense possibilities Of its potential resources Three of these, fishing, mining and timber for making wood pulp, require consider able investment to make them com mercially beneficial to the town. And Juneau is a center for all of them
 Juneau, situated nearer than any or its neighbors to the fishing indus try From geographical reasons alone, It should be ahead of all other Alaskan towns, and when the other advantages, the fact that the town is in the center of shipping, it's port facilities, the banks and large busi- ness houses necessary supply credits for legitimate trade purposes, are con- sidered, make it beyond all question the most desirable town in the whole territory for the location of any big fishing enterprise.
 B. l.. Thane, referring to the pro- posed establishment of a big central paper manufacturing plant on Gastin- eau Channel, revealed a realization of the possibilities of this district when he said that compared to the inn mensity of the opportunity offered here, he and those whom he repre- sents are only an incident, his idea being that if they did not take ad- vantage of the opportunity others would eventually do so Of course the establishment of the proposed plant is really more than an incident to Juneau and the Gastineau Channel but it merely serves to emphasize the great future for the pulp industry and those allied to it. It. like fishing and~~mining, needs consistent and steady advertising through every leg,

We sincerely trust that both Secretary Daniels and Secretary Payne have seen the light and will use their influence to see that the people of Alaska are given the right to govern themselves without the hindrance of some twenty odd bureau cratic heads who are absolutely un- qualified to act from the long dis tance.-Anchorag Times.
