A%C0RRECTION ON
EDITORIAL ABOUT
FED. FARM LOAN

Last week we wrote an editorial
about the fees charged for taking ap-
plications for Federal Farm Loans.
The information was given to us
from apparently reliable sources. We
have since ascertained the reason for
this 500 fee. The local secretary re-
mits half of this to the Federal Land
bank and the balance is held by him
until he has inspected the land. He is
allowed 2 5 cents per mile for trav-
cling, and this is deducted from the
$40 retained by him, and the bal
ance is repaid to the applicant, unless
the mileage aomunts to this sum or
more. If the mileage exceed the $40
the local secretary must stand the
difference.
The other $40 is used by the Land
Bank to pay fees for a second salar-
led appraiser, who also checks up the
outstanding debts of the applicant,
and this usually costs as much or
more than the fee. f
The reason so many loans have
been rejected in this territory recent
~ is on account of the outstanding
debts being greater than the money
applied for, or other matters involv-
ing title and requirements of the
Land bank which the borrower could
not comply with.

cent less than during the cor responding period of 1880.
 Overproduction and too many mines have generally been as signed as the cause of the coal industry's ills, but they are not. by any means the whole story Industrial and political condi- tions are in no small measure responsible, tcget,1c~ with the competition and inroads of sub- stitute fuels, fuel oil, and natural gas, and last, but not least, the remarkable economies in the use of coal that have been brought about in the last 10 years.
 The Class 1 railroad of the United States, for instance, have just established a new record in their consumption of coal on locomotives, during the first six months of 1881, when 122 pounds were required to haul 1000 tons a distance of one mile: with 3 corresponding record in pas senger service.
 The National Electric Light Association in the United States has recently reported an average consumption of 160 pounds of coal per k. w. hour for all plants in the country; less than 10 years ago the corresponding figure was over three pounds. The great by-product coke in~ dustry, which normally uses about 16 per cent of the coun- try's entire bitunlinous coal out- put is now using about 36 per cent less coal than it was con- Sumlng a year ago.
 With such depressed condi- tions in the coal industry else where, what of Alaska's coal and coal trade? Hindered and upset in the past by various factors, which are we'll known and need not be named here, is it not no% going through a phase which has

 Isaiah apply with singular apt ness to those engaged in the worlds coal industry today.
 Tn every coal-producing coun- try of importance, the coal industry is facing, is in the midst of, probably the worst condl- tions in it's history.
 Great Britian, Germany, Bel gium, France, India, Japan, Aus tralia, Czechoslovakia, the Me- therlands, all are confronted by loss of trade and by threatened labor troubles, and no one of them seems to have any definite, effective plan fer improvement, at least none that all parties ar, in agreement with.
 Even the gOvernment-Subsi- dized Polish and Russian coal trades are having difficulty in selling their output, in spite Of prices below the actual cost of protection.
 Tn the United States, the bi- luminous coal industry is almost bankrupt, with forced property sales and receiverships every- where, with coal selling at the lowest price since the pre-war days.
 For instance, such high-grade coals as the New River and Po- cahontas of West Virginia are being sold for 50 or 75 cents per ton F. O. B. mines; a few weeks ago large railroad closed a contract for good sized tonnage at 83 cents per ton F. O. B. mines and this for good Pennsylvania locomotive fuel.
 The coal industry in Canada, notwithstanding the efforts of it's government to keep out our coals by imposing tariffs and by subsidized freight rates, is in no better condition; production during the first quarter of the

vailable and usable coals (any estimate of the amount would be a wild guess) but markets must be sought for and transpor- tation facilities secured "If 9 man wants to shoot game, he goes after it-he doesn't wait for it to come to his back yard"
 Last year there were about 55,000 tons of coal brought into Alaska from British Columbia md Washington, none of 1t Hetter in heating value than the Alaska product, when properly prepared.
 Can not such a movement of outside coal be stopped? It can, if the people of Alaska want to stop it.
 What the Alaska coal industry needs most today and will always need in the future, if it is to increase in importance, is greater degree of cooperation cooperation between producer and seller with the consumer; in fact, between all who have the best interests of Alaska at heart It is for the Alaskan people and their true friends to bring about such cooperation.

lance from one extremity to the
other.
LIE ate; he slept; he exercised;
L Il he played with his Shiny,
reptilian companion, and he paced
the narrow tunnel Of his discovery.
And often when he passed around
the wooden column at its far end,
he speculated upon the real purpose
Of it.
Once he went to sleep in his own
cell thinking about it, and when he
awoke to the gentle tapping OF the
snakes snout upon his breast, he
sat up so suddenly that the reptile
fell kissing to the tagging, for clear
and sharp upon the threshold of his
awakening mind stood an idea-a
wonderful idea-why had he not
thought of it before?
Excitedly he fastened to the
opening leading into the tunnel.
Snakes were passing through it, but
he fought for precedence with the
reptilian horde and tumbled through
head first upon bed of kissing
snakes.
Scrambling to his feet, he almost
ran the length of the corridor until
his outstretched hands came in
contact with the rough bole Of the
tree.
There he stood quite some time,
trembling like leaf, and then, en-
circling the column with his arms
and legs, he started to climb slowly
and deliberately aloft. This was the
idea that had seized him in its
compelling grip upon his awaken
ing.

security, since it meant that he was
not entirely unsrmed.
Presently, as he advanced, he be-
came convinced that he was in a
long corridor. one foot came in
contact with a rough substance di-
rectly in the center Of the tunnel.
He took his hands from the walls
and groped in front Of him.
It was a rough-coated cylinder
about eight inches in diameter that
rose directly upward from the CEN
ter of the tunnel, and his fingers
quickly told him that it was the
trunk Of a tree with the bark still
on, though worn off in patches.
Passing this column, which he
guessed to be a support for weak
section of the roof of the tunnel,
he continued on, but he had taken
but a couple of steps when he came
to a blank wall-the tunnel had
come to an abrupt end.
n
TANAR'S heart sank within him.
a His hopes had been rising with
each forward step and now they
suddenly were dashed to despair.
Again and again his fingers ran
over the cold wall that had halted
his advance toward hoped-for free
dom, but there was no sign Of break
or crevice, and slowly he turned
back toward his cell, passing the
wooden column and retracing his
steps in utter detection.
But as he moved sadly along he
mustered all his spiritual forces,
determined not to let this expected
disappointment crush him. He
would go back to his cell, but he
would still continue to use the tun-
mel
It would be a respite from the
monotony Of his own four walls. 1t
would extend the distance that he
might walk and after all he would
make it worth the effort that had
been necessary to gain ingress to it.
Back in his own cell again, he
lay down to sleep. When he awoke
the snakes were with him srain
and his friend was tapping gently
on his chest. Once again ne took
up the dull monotony of his exist
ence, altered only by regular excllr-
sions into his new-found domain,
the black interior of which he came
to know as well as he did his own
cell.
He walked briskly from the Role
he had made to the wooden column
at the far end of the tunnel, passed
around it, and walked back again
at brisk gait and with as much
assurance as though he could see
plainly, for he had counted the

warned today by Methodist board OF
prohibition, temperance and public
morals not to commit the party to
program of prohibition repeal at
it's meeting here next week, at the
expense of again losing the South in

that Democratic leaders ponder the
views of Senator Cameron Nor
rison of North Carolina, who pro-

against the possible program of

associates to have the national COM
mi5tee advocate repeal. Morrison
