NAVY RADIO CRAFT SATURN IN PORT LOADED WITH FREIGHT
 FOR THE PRIBILOFF ISLANDS

The U. s. Saturn arrived in port early yesterday morning but instead of being strictly in the radio business is acting in the capacity of a tramp freighter for the Bureau of Fisheries. There is a shipment of farm stock aboard for the Pribiloff Islands, pro- visions, lumber and everything. The Saturn brought a small amount Of freight for the local radio station and when this is discharged will continue on to the westward which will proba- bly, be tomorrow morning. The Saturn will return south, load again and go to the westward but the present visit to Seward will undoubtedly be the last one for this season.
 All of the old officers are aboard the Saturn with the exception of Pay master Prior who has been succeeded by Ensign Williams.

Whats Matter
 With Alaska?

by the navy, for commercial purposes and for stcaming purposes, according tn such reports as we have on hand.
 However, the government railroad track as laid to Chickaloon August 25- th. 1917, three years ago, and as this coal was exploited as the principal reason for building the railroad, the secretaries should be informed as to why ;le mine has been worked only in the most limited way and why dur ing the summer seasons of 1918, 1919 ard 1920, with the route completed and the world crying for fuel, no prac- tlcal commercial development of the coal has taken place.
 We are told by the engineers in charge that the line from Anchorage to Clickaloon k equal in physical con Stiuction to the average road built for similar purposes in the United States. We know that there are cars and To- comotiveS on hand for several steam ships loaded with Panama equipment have been unloaded at Anchorage, bu did the management of the railroad explain to the visitors why it was that Seward, the official terminus, had not been supplied with heavy stock of at least 5000 tons for winter use? The management also might have cX- olained that the snow blows on the Seward division could not work dur ing the great blockade of the winter of l9l8- 1919 until shipment of L. 100 tons of Canadian coal was loaded at Nanaimo and taken to Seward for that purpose.
 Were the secretaries informed that Seward is an all the year round open port and Anchorage Is closed during the late fall, the entire winter and narly spring? So if the navy is to be supplied with coal as was the much repeated assertion when Seward was declared to be the official terminus at tidewater, how can the builders of the railroad justify their seeming disre- gard of the official order by practical ly ignoring Seward and throwing the bulk of the appropriation and con structive energy to Anchorage and north thereof, when Anchorage will at al times be closed port during the r;Nter.
 The cable dispatches state that the secretaries were going to the Mata- nuska valley and to the Susitna valley. We can imagine the reception com nitte, showing them grasses and r,a;ns "up to mans shoulders" rut-
