PRICES WANTED FOR MATANUSKA
 COAL TOO HIGH
Operators Unable to Meet Foreign Competition
 Coal Is Fine Quality.

l Efforts on the part of commercial i coal companies, operating Alaska i coal mines under government lease, l to invade Southeastern Alaskan markets with their product are ap- parently doomed to meet but ,ittls encouragement on account of prices which are being quoted, acordlne, to those who have recently received inuuiries from the Westward on this sub;ec The City of Juneau nas becn asked by the Evan Jones Coal Company, of Anchorage, to give its product a trial, but the prices named, said Mayo" R. F. Robertson make it almost impossible to handle their product.
 The company ill letter recently
 received by Mayor Robertson stated
 that it is developing a mine or
 Eska Creek on the Matanuska
 branch of the Government Railway
 and has just commenced making
 shipments to Anchorage where its
 product is being used with entire
 satisfaction. The rate of develop
 ment, it is stated, will not permit
 of sales to other than the Anchorage l, market at present, but With the
 opening of navigation at Anchor
 age this Spring it is stated thai the production can be materially increased if there is any demand The coal mined is said to be higl
 grade bituminous and better thar
 any heretofore placed on the mar
 ket. The company is mining abou' 25 tons per day as it proceeds with its development work.
 A price of $7.50 per short tor is quoted on the cars at the moutl
 of the mine This with the cost o
 handling by the railroad to Anchor age and wharfage. without literag' | if such should be necessary, would
 bring the cost to $1012 per lon' ton on the dock at Anchorage
 Under present freight rates, rangin! | from $45O to $6.00 per ton iron | Anchorage to Juneau, would brini l the total cost in the warehous greater than that now paid fo foreign coal.
 In replying to the Evan Jone l Coal Company, Mayor Robertso stated that Juneau would undoubt . edfy like to aid in the developmen 2 of the coal industry in Alaska bu : that the offer made was not attrac tive and did not offer any solu ton to the problem presented b 2 high priced fuel. He also suggeste : that the matter be taken up agai with the City Council next Sprin 2 after the opening of navigation a 2 Anchorage when more detinit : figures might be obtained

SUMMARY MADE OF CONDITIONS
 BY J. C. MURPHY
Attorney General of Alaska on Return from Trip Tells
 of Times Tn South.

a J. c. Murphy, Attorney General fo the Territory, returned here on tht Alameda after having been at Wash ington, D C., defending a tax cast in the United States Supreme Cour which was won by the Territory MT Murphy visited many places i. the West and Middle West, ant when asked to sum up his idea o conditions in general, had the fol lowing to say:
 Winter Is Mild
 q found that the winter of 1920 1921 has been one of the very mild est in twenty years. Going East over the Canadian Pacific Railroad found no snow from Calgary, Canada to Fargo, N. D.. and very little snow anywhere in North Dakota or any of the Eastern States. Coming back West over the Great Northern Rail, road from Minneapolis to Seattle there was practically no snow i!l Montana or Eastern Washington.
 Business is at standstill all over 2 lnC COullIs sCVibo tC DC N'fA idea, founded on fact, no doubt that conditions will pick up after the in auguration of President telect Warren G. Harding on March 4 In the meantime, nearly all of the indus. [ trial plants in the Middle States, with the exception of flour mills in Minneapolis, are working only in the most limited manner.
 Farmers Complaining
 Corn in the Middle West is selling for about fifty cents at or near the farms and the farmers are as rule, complaining. However, that class of people are basically all right and when they have finally come to the realization that they must accept the loss from low prices, they, with the retailers, will be ail right. It seems to be the conceded opinion that there will be steady decline in the price of Middle States farm lands for the next fifteen years. There will be no more $5GG and $500 per acre corn land until another big speculation area comes along
 West In Big Slump
 North Dakota is having all kinds of trouble with it's Non-Partisan League State financed institutions. There have been a great many bank failures due to over financing the farmers, and also to light crops in all the Western part of the State. Eastrn Montana is in very bad shape owing to sequence of light crop years. The wheat country in East ern Washington, is as whole. in much better condition than the s.ftes immediately East of there with the possible exception of Idaho.

New Mill to Operate Before Spring Comes-Flour for
 Export Predicted.

That Fairbanks will have her flour mill in operation before the begin ming of navigation, and that all the wheat flour needed in the Interior will be produced there from now on is the declaration of Senator E. E Collins of Fairbanks, who is in .Ju neau and will remain here until after tho adjournment of the Fiith Legislature early in May.
 The wheat of the Panama Valley has met the test, and makes as good flour as can be produced anywhere in the world, said Senator Collins and there is land enough in that country suitable to wheat raising to produce millions of bushels of it
 Senator Collins says the Tanana Valley will unqucstionaby export wheat four of the very highest gradt to the coast as soon as the rairoa 1 shall have been completed and put into operation~-

the highest merit isn't in holding good hand but /
in playing a poor hand well.
This year of 1921 will be what we make it
with certain limitations. We can't wipe out last
year or any other year since Adam. They are
all in this year. One thing we can't charge off |
is the debt 1921 owes to all the centuries. The |
fact is that incline to make all our credits |
stick and drop our debts to the past 1t can't |
be done; in the process of evolution the past
collects its debt. 1t diStrains for them It levies
and invariably finds the goods for execution We
either pay willingly we pay unwillingly and
unwillingness and evasion have the costs to pay
They are invariably heavy costs when the
mortgages OF the past years fall due on fore
closure
The point of it all is that our properties and
our conveniences and all our new and godlike
conquest of earth and air are builded on what
others have done, on dead mems bones and out of
the active minds of those who have gone on,
leaving, not a legacy as we are selfishly prone to
consider, but debt Every advance of last year
and all years is mortgage on 1921.
At the beginning OF this new year the clash
ing demands of classes and class selfishness fill
the air. That ferment is part of the process of
progress. They will in time, balance each other
as the CENTRIFUGAL and centripetal forces keep the
universe in place and hold the worlds in their
orbits 1t is hard for us to see beyond our own
particular horizons but beyond the blue sky line
the round world lies with its desires and needs
and ambitions infinitely spread the same people
with the same hopes and selfishness and gener-
osity that mark our little circle of vision The
limits of a township and the boundaries of a
county are mere imaginary lines where once they
represented a sort of Capitalization of their own.

New Years day isn't essentially different
rom the other 800 days. January l is decimal

and start again on our annual pilgrimage of IL
calendar months. We put the past behind us,
hat is we think we do, and begin all over. That

4 New Year sermon or New Year editorial
furnishes little that is new. There is nothing
new to say of the fundamentals of life. The same
essential needs are ours that were the needs of
Adam and Eve on that first New Year of a be-
ginning of new world. The same old Ten Com
nandments are in existence. They have not been
repealed or changed They are still law. The
Sermon on the Mount is still the ideal code of
ethics We have managed to evade those laws,
5OOtlegged on morals and ethics, as it were but
the Adam in his nakedness, the cave dweller in
his furs and us, in our coats and trousers in our
automobiles or sitting above modern heating
plants are brethren under our skins like the

skirts. They're sisters too.

Perhaps this is another count ON the indict-
ment against the "darned newspapers" Maybe
they agitated an anti-dying movement as they are
accused of such responsibility as concerns the
falling off of buying. Like as not the Kansas
folk struck, refused to shuttle off the mortal
coil, when it required crib of corn and drove of
hogs to be buried decently in cloth casket with
silver washed handles along with the use of the
hearse. Anyway prices are down and Kansas
undertakers are making "great inducements to
their trade.
Anyhow it is as fair to accuse the newspapers
of guilt in the Kansas undertaking field as in any
other field where lowered prices of farm pro
ducts have forced lower prices in other lines
