THIS COAL QUESTION

On the very face of it. it is entirely absurd that the
 people out at the middle of the Westward are pay ing $35 ton for coal when they only 200 miles or from of the biggest coal deposits in the world. Think of it. Several hundred billions of tons of coal laying along the Alaska Railroad belt and paying S35 ton. And Alaska coal can be landed at the Seward docks for five six dollars ton.
 We know of dozens of cases where people of the Westward districts have and buying Outside coal. Some started the foldero that the native coal is good British Columbia coal. It it's Alaska coal 1t doesn't burn with that peculiar flame as the Utah coal It you up alright but they don't han de 1T right at the mine and get lot of slate that will not burn in the uttermost hamts of Hades. That's what they say.
 That's the way of people talk about our product because they got bum sack five years ago. They come today to Alaska to make fortune and they buy British Columbia coal to warm them while they here and pay two prices for it. We would be particularly concerned if all the rest of the world covered with ice cap but concerned about these folks of whom profess to be Aaskans who consistently send their dollars Outside to buy native product equally good in every phase and at higher price It is enough to make howl like malamute We have enough good coal here to keep warm until the first messenger from Mars asking for assistance

ELMER TwITCHELL ON MR.. DEMPSEY AS A

81 see where Jack Dempsey is going 70 Africa 10
hunt lions" said Elmer Twitchel, the old-time fight
fan as he made a fifth attempt to light a particularly
bad stogie. well, I don't know how Jack win do
against a lion, but I am pretty sure he won't even
compare with old-timers like Jeffries, Fitzsimmons
and Corbett and Rubin. They were the boys who
could fight lionsl"
Elmer sat back in his chair and grew painfully
reminiscent of the cld-timers. why Jack Dempsey
don't belong in the same class with Jeffries in a bout
with a lien. You wait for the returns from the first
meeting between Jack and one Of them animals; he'll
be fast and dangerous for q time but II he don't get
the lion at once Jack viii lose the fight.
"Now Jeffries was different. Jeffries wasn't fast
like Dempsey, but he was tough and when he was at
his best no lion ever lived that could hurt him. When
he was in his prime jeff wouldn't even been dis
turbed by a lion. A hon wouldve took one look az
him and jumped out Of the ring"
"How about Corbett7" Mr.. Twitchell was asked.
well, he wouldn't have exactly stampeded lions
like Jeffries would. but he was one great pugilist in
his day and he was too fast for the average lion.
I don't say a young vigorous lion couldn't have given
Corbett plenty OF action, but the day Gentleman Jim
met Sullivan al New Orleans he would've won every
round from any average lion. He would've had the
critter exhausted tryin' to get a claw into him.
How would Fitz have been against an African
Hon?p Mr.. Twitchell was asked.

could have lived In the same ring with him when Fitz
was a the peak OF his form. 1t wouldve been crimi-
nal to send a lion into the ring with the Cornish
man"
How do you know? Did you ever see Fi.z fight any
lions. Mr.. Twitchell?" asked the reporter.
who. me?" fumbled Elmer. with that strange ex-
preston that comes to all veteran fight fans when
asked about old-time boxers. Certainly I saw him
fight lions. Lots Of times. They were his favorite
opponents. Whenever Fitz wanted a good workout
one that would give him reasonable action without
being too strenuous-he would send for an African
lion. And it was child's play for him. I never saw
Fitz even extended in a fight with a lion"
How about John l.. Sullivan"
"Ah. the noblest Roman Of them all" sighed Elmer.
""well. he always refused TO fight lions. but 1t was
only because he was afraid he would kill one some

Suwanee was always helpful and
kind. He worked with Elanda tire
lesSly on her new numbers. and they
spent hours together in the studio.
But he treated her entirely imper-
sonauy. AS a teacher might treat a
pupil. He never invited her TO
luncheoa with him. Not even when
they worked together all morning
until luncheon time.
She wondered about II. Was it be-
cOuse she vas engaged to Greg and

1t couldn't be that-fOr everybody

self whether 1t was not because he

hardly a suitable companion for a

desired to tell him SO. But she didn't
dare.
He had tried TO interfere In her
personal affairs and she had pretty
soon told him where to head IN. He
might do the same with her. She
couldn't chance 1t. Besides. she
didn't want him to think she OBJ
served any change in him.
Swallowing her pride she went on
learning her new numbers and sing
ing them-bringing in more and
more fan mail and more and more
publicity. Hardly ever a day went

thing into a paper about her. There

and her neglect Of Andree. Thera
was a tang OF fall in the September
air and Elanda was walking all the
way 10 Tenth street-home.
II was unbelievable the way Dixie
left Andree to her care. The baby
had become so dear and SO close 20
her that she seemed as II she we're
her own. Sometimes Elanda would
remember with a little pang that
Greg did not like babies and expect
ed her to not care for them when
they were married.
What had gotten into Greg? Some
times for two or three days he didn't
call her on the telephone. Truth
fully. she was almost afraid TO adj
nit it to herseif-she didn't miss
him. II was a relief not TO have 10
stand for his savage kisses and his
impatience because She would not
enter into them as professionally a.
he seemed to think she should.
Even her new glory. however. did
not cover the fact that it would be
humiliating for him 10 give her the
air. Several times she had received
a phone call from his mother and
she had gone up TO see her. Some
times there was some friend or rela-
tive she desired Elanda 10 meet.
Mother Du Pont warmly showed
her love and pride for her daughter
to-be. Lately. however. Flanda had
been unable to meet the questioning
IN the honest. bright eyes-and the
little yelled questions as TO what she
and Gregg we're doing with their
evenings that they never spent them
at home with her and Dad.
Sometimes ElanGa had been al
most on the verge Of talking with

And these new long dresses are
to be thanked.
For a number Of years, as every

tickled the knees was sufficient

So. after a period Of time. most
women folk admitted that one OF

made TO measure.
Thus Il has come about that the
