ASK EXTENSION
OF CAR RULING
One Reconsignment' Order
Will Soon Halt Specula-
tors, Say Coal Men.
CPubIic Ledger Service.)

An extension of the ruling of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion prohibiting more than one re-
consignment of coal cars to en-
brace shipments to tidewater, either
for export trade or trans-shipment
by vessel to American seaboard
ports was urged by the bituminous
coal operators in a statement yes
terday. The ruling of the COM
mission. according to the operators,
is an important step in eliminat-
ing soft coal spectators and bring
ing down the excessive prices in
the open market.
The committee of soft coal opera
tors engaged in export trade, ap-
pointed by Col. D. B. Wentz, of
Philadelphia, president of the Ma
tional Coal Association, is now con-
sidering means of bringing about
the desired extension of the new
ruling, according to the coal op-
orators.
One of the conditions most Sc
verely criticised at this time is the
speculation in coal in the tide
water territory" Col Wentz said.
The export business is largely
blamed for this condition by, the
public. AS a matter of fact, it is
due to the transportation methods
of hauling shipments to tidewater.
Executives of the government have
been assured that the National Coal
Association would endeavor to work
out some constructive plans for i'm
provement. We are at work pre-
pairing plans along this line to take
up with the railways"

 H. A. Stockman from the Nixon Fork country, passed through Juneau on the Northwestern on his way 70 the States.
 P. J. Burke, from Ophir, who came out in record time over the trail, passed through on the Northwestern for Colorado.

COAL TO SOLVE
 FUEL PROBLEMS
Fairbanks Freighter and Roadbuilder Says Mines
 Need Cheaper Fuel.

Juneau looks like a good town to me-" said w. E. (BilD Terrill, oldtmer of Fairbanks and a pioneer freighter on the Richardson high way, who was Northwestern pas senger enroute to Seattle. There seems to be more real life here thar at any town hay struck on my way South," he continued
 Mir. Terrill was foreman on the road construction crew for the Ter ritorial Road Bureau working on roads and trails in the Fairbanks mining district during the past sum- mer. He is urging the opening of truck road from Ridgetop on the Alaska Railroad, to connect with the Fairbanks Fairbanks Creek road. Such road would lie along the top of ridge between the town and the creek and lessen materially the cost of hauling supplies to the mines, including the two big dredges now operating on Fairbanks Creek.
 The two dredges use fuel oil in their operation and the cost delivered on the ground is almost prohibitive, he said. The quartz men and placer men on the creek are paying $20 a cord for wood for fuel and it is scarce, both factors resulting in d curtailmept of work The road pro- posed, he declares would enable coal to be freighted to the mines at a price practically cutting in half the present fuel costs. good grade of Ignite coal is being mined in the Nenana coal fields and delivered to the householders in Fairbanks 1 in single ton lots for $9 per ton. None of the miners are using it as yet for fuel, but their failure to dc so has been caused by the lack of transportation facilities for quantity delivery, rather than objection to the coal as fuel.
 The gap in the railroad across the Panama River has made it impos- sible to handle coal in large quanti- ties, he said Steel is now being laid across the river on the ice and this will solve the problem for the winter months. A ferry is operated across the stream during the navi- gation season. .#...s

THIRD DIVISION
 STRONG HAzELET
Sentiment Solid for Cordova Man for Governor Says
 National Committeeman.

After going as far to the West ward as Seward, visiting at each port enroute while the Northwestern was there, I find that the sentiment ill the Third Division is for George C.. Hazelet for the next Governor of Alaska" declared J. c. Mcbride, Re- publican National Committeeman for the Territory, in statement given to d Representative of The Empire. Mir. Mcbride returned to Juneau Saturday evening on the Northwestern.
 'The Fourth Division has as yet not endorsed anyone. or had not when I was at Seward and I have received no information to the con trary since my arrival here," he continued No word has been re- ceived from Nome as to the Second Division choice.
 At Cordova MT. Mcbride was met by Mr. Hazelet, who is Committee man for the Third Division, and other prominent Republicans of that town. MT. Hazelet accompanied him to Seward, where T. A. Marquam, Div
  isional Committeeman for the Fourth Division was met. Matters relating to organization business were dis cussed and wherever requests for local political preferment were re- quested of MT. Mcbride, he reiter- ated his stand that they must be through Divisional organizations.
 Business conditions to the West ward are apparently normal, accord ing to MT. Mcbride. On every side there is a feeling of optimism re- garding the future and there seems to be a desire on the part of every enc to pull together and for the ad- vancement and development of the Territory.
