SIX BITS PER SACK
 FOR ARCTIC COAL

According to E. J. Ward Bureau of Education teacher at Wainwright, who returned to Nome on the Bear, coal of the highest grade is found in quanti- ties within six miles of Wainwright down the inlet.
 At the present time the coal is mined by native cooperative store, which is under the supervision of the Bureau of Education.
 The natives supply sacks, mine and deliver the coal to the village of Wainwright at 75 cents per sack, twen- ty sacks to the ton. Three mines are operated and mining has been in prog ress for the last thirty years. Most of the coal is mined from the surface, as the veins outcrop all along the inlet. As the upper stratas are re- moved the coal becomes of higher grade and with scientific methods en- ployed there is no doubt that this field will become one of the largest produc- CTS on Seward peninsula.
 This year 5000 sacks were mined, 1000 of which were used by the bu- reau for it's local school, 200 tons were shipped to Point Barrow on the schooner Holmes. As the Boxer has been acquired by the bureau it is planned to take supplies north and re- turn with coal cargoes for other points along the coast. Nome can well take advantage of this field of high grade coal and overcome the present high Nsst~ of 9ueH -
 The Wainwright inlet is barred by sand bar which prevents boats of more than three or four feet draft entering. Down the inlet where the coal is found within fifty feet from the shore, skin boats load the fuel and paddle to the village. ....
 According to MT. Ward, as the de- mand for the coal increases the pres ent cost of 75 cents per sack can easily reduced to 50 cents per sack, making the commercial possibilities much more feasible.-Nome Nugget

GOVERNMENT RAILWAY
 DOING BIG BUSINESS

That the Alaska Railroads revenues for the present calendar year will ma terially exceed the estimates made last spring, is indicated in advices just re- ceived by Gov Scott c. Bone from Col. Frederoick Mears, head of the road. It was expected by the railroad of- ficials that all operating revenues this year would not surpass s5OO,O00.
 That sum had practically been re- ceived by the railroad at the end of August. It is now believed that the total may be 50 per cent higher than the estimates.
 For the first eight months of the year, according to figures received by the Governor, revenues from freight, passengers and excess baggage amounted to $967, ,15314, and from mis- cellaneous sources of operation an ad- ditional $100,811.37, making the total revenue from operations $467 7,964.51. This covers receipts to the end of Au- gust. It is believed that September, October November and December op- ations will at least equal the monthly average of $5S,495.56, for the first two thirds of the year and possibly will exceed it.

ROGERS WILL
 TELL TRUTH
 ABOUT ALASKA

Alaska the Misunderstood" will be the title of a story on the Territory written by Sherman Rogers, to appear shortly in the Outlook, according to an announcement appearing in g late number of that publication. The story will be divided into four articles which will contain material secured by MT. Rogers on his visit to various sections of Alaska last summer,
 In announcing the coming Alaska series, the publishers of the Outlook said the story is likely to excite much controversy. MT. Rogers himself said he has endeavored to picture Alaska as he found it.
 Is Much Misunderstood
 In announcing MT. Rogers story the Outlook said;
 "Do you know that Alaska is the most misunderstood Territory on earth today? The popular notion that Alaska is composed entirely of bliz- yards, icebergs and Eskimos is mis- take. Nearly 1000 miles north of where Alaska begins there are enor- nous wheatfields, vegetable gardens and scorching summer days when the mercury climbs to 90 degrees. An Eskimo on the streets of Fairbanks would be seven-day wonder.
 Not "Roushneck" Land
 eff you think that Alaska is still the land of 'roughnecks' it will interest you to know that a dinner jacket IS as useful in Alaska as in New York and that modish fashions in dress reach Alaska almost as soon as they reach Boston and Philadelphia
 Sherman Rogers has just returned from Alaska and in series of articles soon to appear in the Outlook he pune lures hundreds of our illusions about the land of the. midnight sun, He de- scribes in full exactly what Alaska is and what Alaska needs. He decribes it's neglect by Congress and outlines the remedy.
 "Mr. Rogers report on Alaska is likely to excite much controversy. It is a story of billions of dollars worth of potential wealth and opportunities of social and political development which at present lie fettered beneath crushing measures of administrative red tape" .av4
