PROGRAM AT LIBERTY
 TONIGHT IS A GOOD ONE

Of especial interest to Alaskans is the intensely absorbing screen story, ''Idle Tongues" which is being exhib- ited for the last time this evening at the Liberty Theatre. Of exceptional appeal owing to the rugged coast line of New England, similar to that of portions of this district; of the fish ing activities about Cape Cod and the true detail depicted of everyday life in that region of the United States seldom visited or little known of by Alaskans.
 The program is one of the best to have been presented to a local audi ence by Manager Brownell, for along with this feature story Thomas H. Ince production, in which Percy Mar mont, Doris Kenyon, Claude Gilling- water and David Terrence are CO starred is presented a fast two reel comedy, sparkling Mack Sennett show with a swarm of bathing beau ties.

Olmsted Had an Alias

SEATTLE, Jan. P (P)-William Schertzer testified yesterday that he had built the gas boat 846 for Olm- sted for a Mr. Clark, whom he as- sumed was a former policeman. c. J. Clark, and two others, Prosper and Craignac, who forfeited their bond in the present trial, took title to the boat from Schertzer, and Canadian off cers later seized the boat at Discovery Island, June 4, 1923.
 Otway Wilkie, a sergeant of the British Columbia police, testified that Olmsted went under the name of Cos grove, and posed as a Seattle-Taco- ma lawyer-yachtsman. He had in- ouired at Victoria what boats visiting the islands must do to satisfy the Canadian officers. He was told he must load and get away as fast as pos sible

COAL OPERATORS SHOULD SUPPLY
 ALASKA DEBTS.
PRACTICALLY ALL BUREAUS IN TERRITORY PURCHASE COAL
 IN THE STATES
Alaska Railroad Walls for More Ton mage Yet Cry Goes Unheeded
 By Bureau Heads

Alaskan coal dealers are overlook ing mighty fine bet for source of distribution of their product in not soliciting business from the Bureau of Education department according to information given The Gateway few days ago. An approximate 5000 tons of coal are consumed annually by the many missions and schools scattered throughout the Territory, it is re- ported.
 There are about 70 schools in Alas ka under the control of the Bureau of Education department and from the figures presented the Gateway at least 25 tons of coal is used each year at the greater portion of this number. However, there are number of the schools which will consume from 40 to 50 tons per annum while a few oth- CTS will go as high as 300 tons for the year. With very few exceptions this coal business has heretofore been placed Outside. Foreign coal has been shipped iZto Alaska when the local operators are literally crying for a market.
 It was also pointed out by this pa per last summer that another market which should be supplied from Alas kan coal mines was the naval radio stations, of which there are at least a half dozen stationed at different points. The aggregate number of tons used by these radio stations an nually runs into the thousands. Tax ing just these two government de partments together, providing the To- cal coal operators could supply this market, not only would mean step forward in the general development of the industry, but it would also mean more employment, naturally, for the many who are forced to remain idle throughout the long winter sea- son. as we'll as increasing the tonnage over the Alaska Railroad, something officials at Washington, D. C., and many others are always clamoring for.
 Why should the government defeat it's own purposes? That of endeavor- ing to put the railroad on paying basis. If the officials at the head of the two government departments mentioned purchased their coal sup. plies in Alaska, though the item may appear small, an increased revenue of approximately s10,O00 would accrue to the annual earning of the railroad More than s5O,OO0 would be paid an nually to the operators from this business. And these are but two gov ernment departments mentioned of the many iA the Territory which should be using Alaska coal instead of ina porting it from the States, which has been done since the Territory was purchased from Russia.

 PLANS BIG WORK
 NEAR FAIRBANKS
INCREASED ACTIVITIES SLATED FOR INTERIOR DISTRICT,
 SAYS KINNEY.

Road construction activities in the Fairbanks district will probably be larger this coming season than for some years past, was the belief of Ross Kinney, supt. of the Nome area, during his brief visit in Seward the first of the week. Particularly with regards to the Fairbanks-Circle road, on which construction has been going forward for some time past.
 Thus far the road has been built for a distance of about thirty miles. This includes the stretch from Fair banks out and from the other end, Circle towards Fairbanks with the center yet to be connected.
 The road will be in direct line with the workings of the Fairbanks Elk ploration company, it is stated, but the principal item is the fact the big horseshoe trip on the Tanana and Yukon rivers will be eliminated, in order to reach the districts along the upper Yukon, adjacent ot 1u- kon Territory. Tourists will not only be able to travel direct from the coast, over the Richardson highway to the mighty Yukon, but in making connections for up river points, DaW- son, Whitehorse, and so on, a big saving of time will be made.
 For the fur farmers, mining men and prospectors, located in that dis trict, the road will be an added stim- ulent for an increase in business and
