CANAL COOPERATE
! AGAIN NEXT YEAR
Banks of Old Waterway
: Damaged by Floods to Be
/ Repaired in Winter.
nisnatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HAGERSTOWN, November 20.-The
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, thought
to have been dealt death blow oy
the three floods which swept down
the Potomac River valley, which 1t
traverses, last Spring, will resume
operations again in 1926, according to
Information reaching here today.
large LEGAL concern was assured py
I'm official of the towage company
that it would be in a position to ham
die coal and other commodities.
The canal company sustained
heavy loss last Spring from the high
water, it's banks in many places be-
ing washed away. For months 1t was
unable to operate any of it's boats.
All OF it's supervisors and other en-
ployes were discharged. and it was
intimated that the historic water
way. built nearly a century ago,
would never be operated again.
The canal has been operating be-
tween Cumberland and Georgetown,
hauling coal. For some years it had
been operating at a loss, because Of
the antiquated means under which the
boats We're operated, these being
drawn still by mules and the fact that
the boats, after making the trip to
Georgetown laden with coal, would be
forced to make the long trip back
empty. 1t is understood that the
canal company has negotiated with a
concern at Georgetown to haul sand
and other products to Cumberland on
the return trip.
The decision of the towage COM
pany to again operate its waterway
will affect several hundred men-su-
pervisors. repairmen and boatmen, as
well as a fleet of some 70-odd canal
boats. This Winter a large force of
men will be put to work repairing
the banks of the canal, damaged by
the floods, and will also put the boats
in condition so the waterway can be
opened about April l.

SUTHERLAND WANTS
 MATAVUSKA COAL TO BE USED BY THE NAVY

In letter to J. P. Hannon, secre- tary of the Chamber of Commerce Delegate Dan Sutherland states that an examination of the files of the Navy Department which has recently been made discloses the fact that the test of the Matanuska (Chickaloon) coal made by the Navy Department last year proved that the Matanuska product was far superior to the Poco- hontas coal which has generally eben considered the best coal in the United States for naval use.
 Soon after this test was made re- port was given to the press which, in effect, stated that the Matanuska coal was not desirable for naval use, and that in future all naval coal would be shipped from the Atalantic Coast.
 The files of the Navy Department show that in the comparative test be- tween the two coals the Matanuska coal was superior in every way, and as figured on per centage basis by the naval men who made the tests, the Matanuska coal had relativity of 100 to 9O.4 for the Pocohontas coal
 This matter will probably be thoro- ughly investigated before great while and we may learn just why this adverse press report was made in the face of the facts on file in the Navy Department.
 We have long maintained that inter- ests hostile to the success of the Alas ka Railroad, and particularly to the development of the coal fields, were at work In view of the fact that the rail- road was originally projected into teh interior for the purpose of bringing high grade coal to tide water, have long wondered just what has been the cause of the delay in accomplishment,
 The press notice follows
 Coal Tests for Naval Vessels
 After investigations and trials ex- tending over period of years, the Navy Department has come to the con- clusion that it is the best policy to ship coal from the East Coast for the use of naval vessels on the Pacific Coast. Tests of Alaskan coal from the Boring River and Matanuska dis tricts have been completed by the Ja- son, New York and Texas. It was found from these tests that although Alaskan coal in certain circumstances may be used by naval vessels, it is not generally satisfactory for this pur- pose. With the advent of oil-buIn- CTS consumption of coal on the Pacific Coast by naval vessels has decreased. All of the battleships stationed on the West Coast are oil-burners, except the New York and Texas, which are slated for transfer to the Atlantic Coast, and all of the destroyers are oil-burners.

On one trip the little steamer he was on killed three whales one afternoon, one of them be- ing little over 85 feet long.
 Before coming to Alaska MT. Buckley was a we'll known baseball player, having been with the old Chi cago White Sox, when Pop" Anson was manager of the team, playing at the same time as the we'll known evan ist, Billy Sunday" and was also the inventor of the first catcher's mitt.
