EDIT ORIAL
GOOD NEWS FOR THE
 SEWARD REPUBLICAN CLUB

The announcement that Dele gate WickerSham has been named on five of the most important Con- gressional committees as they re- late to Alaska, was received with elation by Seward Republicans, who see in the selection direction of interest to Alaska never be- fore accorded.
 AS will be noted by the list of committees to which Delegate Wickersham has been assigned, they all have to do with questions in which Alaska shares importance with any section of the country. In addition, Judge Wickersham is placed upon what is practically the resurrection of a committee long lost sight of, that of Mines and Mining.
 This last assignment guarantees that the work started last sum- rer by the Geological Survey will be carried further and that the government is prepared to accord mining the interest 1t merits.
 Taking the committees as they are enumerated, the committee on the Merchant Marine, gives the Delegate opportunity for renewing the fight to have Alaska placed on an equal footing with other sec tions of the country, and thus opening the way for direct ship ment to eastern markets of fish which have been denied this priv ilege hitherto.
 In point of Public Lands, an op- portunity is offered for radical re- adjustments of the rules and regu- iations affecting Alaska, while that of Indian Affairs places the Dele gate in a strong position with Alaskan natives. Equal in import ance is Delegate Wickersham's as- s1gnment to the committee on Ter ritories, of which a pioneer Mon- tanan Is chairman.
 Here is connection which SUD- plies an index to what may be eX- pected regarding Alaska. Chair man Evans of the Committee on Territories, began life in the mines Of Butte, where he studied law while working in various capaci- ties, and became one of the lead ing attorneys for the Amalgamat- ed Copper Company during the titanic battle between that corp oration and the F. Augustus Heinze interests. Being a western man who has a broad grasp of condi- taons as they affect new countries, ] Mir. Evans may be looked to as 3 powerful ally of Delegate Wick l ersham in shaping the future des- tiny of the Territory.
 Armed with this stragetic ad- vantage, the local Republicans are enthusiastic oyer their chances in the Territorial elections, leav- ing 1t to the Democrats to launch she assault against what they claim Is an impregnable position.

 Despite the fact that Hawaii boasts a population of 100000, Alaska with 6O,000 population, or one-fifth, takes almost half of ] what the land of hula and sum- shine takes in purchases in the 1 United States.

MOVEMENT FOR
 1O,OOO TO|VS COAL
 ASSURED LOCALLY
EVAN JONES COAL CO. ASSURED MARKET IF BUNKERS
 BUILT

Much encouragement is felt To- cally as to acquiring coal bunkers because of recent interchange of telegrams between the Evan Jones Coal Company Of Anchorage, Col. Otto F. Ohlson, general manager of the Alaska Railroad, now in Wash ington, D. C., and with Alaska's Delegate to Congress, Hon. James Wickersham.
 The first of these telegrams from President Oscar Anderson of the Evans Jones Coal Company was as follows.
 "Col. o. F. Ohlson,
 Washington, D. e.
 "We now feel practically certain that 10000 tons of coal, the min mum requirement. of the Alaska Railroad for the erection of coal rbunkers at Seward, can be attained this year providing bunkers are in--  -stalle@ sAs soon as possible.
 General Manager Dave Branch, head of the Libby, McNeil, Libby Alaska canneries, Is well pleased with the quality of the coal and will buy 2,500 tons of Alaska coal this year and we are now shipping an other 500 tons to Cordova and smaller lots to Southeastern Alaska.
 With these repeat orders and ad- ditional business, together with other business we are certain we can get, with the proper loading facilities and high quality coal now being produced, makes clear the immediate necessity for this i'm provement. There will be no trou- ble in getting plenty of support from Anchorage, Seward and else where providing you are in favor of it. Right now is the big oppor- tunity to sec,tre additional ton- mage for the Alaska Railroad and should not be overlooked. Please wire immediately your attitude.
 "We note that in the Seattle Times the government received bids November 19 on 8O,O00 tons of coal for the Manila Railroad. There is no reason why we should not be able to bid on this hereafter If bunkers are erected in Seward
 Colonel Ohlson's reply:
 Evan Jones Coal Co.,,
 Anchorage, Alaska
 "Wickersham introducing bill at this session of Congress for the construction of coal bunkers at Seward and I will not oppose 1t and if asked will advise possibili- ties"
 The wire sent to Delegate Wick ersham by the Evan Jones Coal Company was practically identical to that sent to Colonel Ohlson, but also included the Colonels reply.
 The Seward Chamber of Com merce wrote weeks ago and have been continuing to do so, letters to all Congressmen who have recently visited Alaska, to the Delegate, the Interior Department, and to scores of others, urging their support to- ward the construction of local coal bunkers. Not a stone, so to speak, has been overlooked.

now on you are Mary Pickford. !"
You may have heard Of the lady.
Beginning with child parts, she
made her great hit in "A Good

Blanche Bates, one of his great
est stars, got her chance because
Belasco was an old friend Of her
father, Mark Bates. He first
brought her out in Naughty An

AS a curtain-raiser, Belasco put
on one-act tragedy, Mime. But

Washington. A very high hat
audience had been invited.
Among those present was a Ger
tain Puccini, Italian composer,
here on visit.
After the performance Puccini
rushed backstage and begged for
the chance to turn the sketch into
an opera. With results that need
no u1enLlOu.
It was with 1.-THE Girl Of the

and Miss Bates combined in one
of the most spectacular successes
Of their careers.
But it was the stormy session
with Leslie Carter that brought
Frances Starr to the forefront.
They came to the parting of the
ways about twenty five years ago.

But just beyond the entrance

figured as author or producer was

and dominated.
1t was not a pose; rather 1t was
an emotional habit. When
Nina one of his most recent
productions, literally was burning
up good money in production
costs, the tale goes that Belasco
was reminded of the expense,
went into a tantrum and cried out
that he didn't want to know what
anything was costing. His Job

PINCHOT FIGHT
IS THREAT TO
HOOvER'S HOLD
Battle With Senate Over
Utilities May Determine
Delegation Control.

~ soyipps-HoaooYd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The
dramatic struggle Governor Clifford
Pinchot is waging IN pennsylvania,
against a hostile state senate which
refuses to agree with his plan for
regulation of public utilities, is be-
ing watched with concern by con-
servative Republican leaders here.
Many of them see IN it threat
by Pinchot against Herbert Hoover
for control Of the Pennsylvania dele
CATION to the next Republican ma
tional convention.
Chairman Is Denounced
President Hoover invited Edward
Martin, Republican state chairman,
to spend night at the White House
recently to discuss Pinchot's activ-
tiles and their possible ramifca-
tons.
Martin, a conservative Republican,
helped Pinchot in his campaign, but
since then he has been denounced
by the Governor as the legislative
representative Of the utilities.
In a speech in Martins home
town the day following his visit to
the White House, Pinclaot accused
him Of taking orders" from the
utilities.
Martin, it Is understood, assured
President Hoover that the majority
Of the Pennsylvanians' at the next
convention would be for him, but
he included proviso to the effect
that If there is a state contest for
all delegates, Pinchot's strength will
be greater.
PinchOt Threatens Veto
Such contest is more than a
probability.
The legislature has failed to pass
a congressional redistricting bill and
although it is understood e. COM
promise measure will be agreed upon
before the legislature adjourns, Gov
ernor Pinchot threatens to veto the
measure.
This will throw all contests for
convention delegates into state
wide fight where Pinchot twice has
been able to defeat his organized
opponents.
Pennsylvania's delegation to the
next national convention will total
seventy-two.
