At the present time there are no facilities for the testing of coals in the Territory and millions of dol lars are spent yearly both by civ ilian and military consumers with out any checking of fuel values. Coal has been sent on rare occa- sions to the Bureau of Mines Lab oratory at Pittsburg for analysis, however this consumes so much time that it rarely takes place, Saarela said.
 During 1850. coal production in Alaska declined slightly to 100000 tons from the alltirhe high of. 440,- coo tons in 1949. The decrease was caused by one of the Army bases converting to oil. However during the last ten years there has been steady increase in coal consump- ticn and production, and as there are numerous steam plants building in the area of the rail belt indica- tions are that the rise will con- tinue.
 The coal analysis laboratory al the University will be operated by the Territorial Department ot Mines Assay Office in cooperation

 But each time we have used methods short of total war.
 "As costly as Beriin and Greece and Korea may be, they are less expensive than the vast destruction which would be inflicted upon all sides if total war were to be pre- cipitated."
 Bradley said field commander like Macarthur very properly esti mates his needs from the viewpoint of operations in his own theater or sphere Of action''3fp
 But he added those responsible for higher direction must necessarily base their actions on broader as poets, and on the needs, actual or prospective, of several theaters."
 Gen Bradley said the adminis- tration policy of fighting a limited war in Korea may cause the Com nlunists to sue for peace If we can punish the Chinese severely enough" and runs the least risk of touching off world conflict.

 Co1Fnissioner of Mines Leo H.

it got hold of little steam loco- motive that had been discarded when the New York Elevated Rail- road was electrified. and it was in the railroad business.
 The railroad, of course, depended on the salmon cannery, and the cannery, to a certain extent, de- pended on the railroad. It had been the intention to extend the railroad some forty miles to Dry Bay, but for one reason and an- other the extension was never built.
 The cannery itself was success ful from the start. The first years pack was 24,349 cases and this in- creased in subsequent years to an average of around 50,000 cases. The big year was 1918 when the can- nery put up 77,073 cases, but as recently as 1941 the pack was 65,- 896 cases.
 Since then the pack has declined drastically, partly because the sal mon runs have decreased and part | ly because buyers from ether can- neries and processing plants have invaded the grounds and taken away part of the catch.
 The main fishing grounds near Yakutat are in a number of short glacier-fed streams the Situk, ,Ahrnklin, Dangerous, Italio and Ustay Rivers-which rush down from the mountains, then meander across the coastal plain to the ocean. At the mouth of each of the streams is a shallow bar that is at best an impeachment and at worst an impossible barrier to naviga- ton.
 In addition there is the larger Alsek River which rises in Canada and tumbles through a steep moun- i tain canyon before it reaches the ocean at Dry Bay.
 The fishing in early days was done with both gillnets and drag seines, but nowadays it is mostly gillnetting. There isn't fish trap within a hundred or more miles of Yakutat in any direction. 1. The Yakutat & Southern Rail- way Go. operated the Yakutat, Icannery for several years, then sold it to. German & Company. one of the larger salmon firms of earlier years. German sold the outfit, in- cluding the, railroad, to Libby, Mo- Neill and Libby in 1913 and for many years the late Captain C.. E. z Ahues was in charge.
 The cannety operated rlAarly.e eva cry season except the past two. and it will run again this summer, ac- cording to Mrs. Jeanice Welsh, whose Bellingham Canning co. purchased it from Libby early this month. Bellingham Canning Co. aalso has a cannery at Hoonah. where it employs mostly local labor and secures most of its fish from resident fishermen. The same poll icy will no doubt be followed at < Yakutat, so that the local cannery workers will be assured of jobs and the fishermen will have an assured market for their catches.
 It will be, as are, all salmon can- neries, seasonal industry, but for Yakutat it will be much better than no industry at all

Forty- eighth of a Series) THE YAKUTAT .S SOUTHERN

THE YAKUTAT & SOUTHERN
 Sale of an entire railroad. inclu- ding all track and rolling stock, ought to be news anywhere, and especially in Alaska where there are so few railroads to be sold.
 But when the Yakutat 6 South ern Railroad, one of Alaska's old est, changed hands recently the transaction rated less than one line in the newspapers. The railroad, in fact, was only mentioned in connection with the sale of a can- nery, of which Alaska has a great many and some of which change ownership with great frequency.
 The reason the sale of the Yaku- tat and Southern didn't make more headlines is, of course, that. it isn't much of a railroad. It is standard guage in width but it is hardly of standard length. Actually, the track isn't much longer than the name of the road and it is one of the shortest standard guage railroads II the world, with total length )f nine miles or thereabout.
 The Yakutat and Southern has 1een handicapped by the fact that it doesn't have much of a place to start from or much of any place to go to. Then, too, it has had the problem of a seasonal industry and one-way haul
 Practically it's entire pay load $ fish, which it hauls from the Situk River to the cannery at Yak utat. ~
 Yakutat is a lonesome little place on the ocean coast about midway 1etWeen Southeast Alaska and Prince William Sound. It has an airfield built by the Army during the war and now operated by the CAA, cannery that hasn't oper- ated for two seasons, lots of mag liiicent mountain and glacier scen- cry and the Yakutat and Southern Railroad.
 There has been an Indian village at Yakutat for nobody knows how long, and the Russians tried to es- tablish colony there more than l50 years ago. The local residents did not encourage that project. They killed all the colonists.
 After that the place was left pretty much alone for three-quar lers of century until prospector named James Hollywood found gold in the beach sands there in 1880. The Indians killed two of Holly woods partners, but other miners and prospectors swarmed in and kept the place lively until the gold played out.
 In 1888 two Swedes, Adolph Ly- dell and Karl Henrikson, were sent to Alaska by the Swedish Mission Covenance of America and they picked Yakutat as the place to start mission. They seem to have gotten along with the Indians bet ter than had either the Russians or the miners and when the mis- sion burned to the ground on Jan- uary 8, 1892, the Indians pitched in and helped to rebuild it.
 Yakutat got a postoffice on Sep- tember IA, 1897, and about 1902 the fisning industry discovered the possibilities of the place. Several salteries were first established and packed both salmon and herring. Then, in 1904, the Yakutat & Sou- thern Railway Go. was organized with a man named F. s. Stimson as president. The company built a cannery and put it in charge ot An Seung, Chinaman built a sawmill with a daily capacity of 30,0O0 board feet, and laid track from Yakutat to the Situk. Then

NEW YORK Up Business at
mid-year is leading double life.
Industries tied in with the de-
fense effort, directly or Indirect

tiles, fretting at material short

Industries and merchants VII

bad judgment at the start of the
year over buying may have
stacked up costly inventories, and
over-pricing may have frightened
away customers.
AS a result we have at one end,
total industrial production at
peak, national income rising, en-
ployment rising, corporate earn
lngs at an all-time high.
At the other, production Gu t

weakening prices for many raw

business in general in production.

Production:

pace than in the months imrnedi-

ries faltered badly, but those TIED

will be around 52.4 million tons
against 472 million in the first
half of 1850.
Oil-Producing at a record rate
