already filed to guarantee an unlimited traffic" However, most of these previous claims were later held to be illegal and fraudulent, and at last it became apparent that Stewards railroad could not even be sure of fuel for it's own use. The situation became utterly confusing when the US. Navy proceeded with plans for a colliery at Seward, in apparent anticipation of an early lifting of the Alaska coal ban. In fact, the Executive Order was later modified to permit the leasing of a maximum of 25b0 acres of coal lands to a single individual or corporation. But capital still held out for larger maximum. since the leasing ar rangement would have allowed only a normal profit on invest ment, and ruled out a Specula- tive rate of return.
 The people of Seward, how ever, could see only one thing in this whole complicated question, and that was that the Executive Orders on coal lands stood be tween them and prosperity. It appeared that the lifting of these prohibitions would result CD Tn the immediate resumption of work on the railroad CD the es- tablishment of US. Naval coaling station at Seward, (3) the development of Seward as great-circle coaling station for the major portion of the Oriental commerce, and (4) that Seward

TAX EXEMPTION CEILING RAISED

Dependents for whom an cx- CmptiOn is allowable for income tax purposes may now have in come uD to $500 instead of the $500 ceiling previously in effect, It was announced recently by Internal Revenue Collector. This change was made by the Reve- nue Act of 1851 and is effective for 1851 and subsequent years.
 Parents, for instance, whose children have been employed after school or during the sum mer months may claim the $500 exemption providing the child's total earnings for the year are less than $500. If the earnings are $500 or more the child may not be claimed as a dependent but must file his own return.
 A dependent whose income is under $500 for the year should file a return to recover the with held tax even though he is being claimed as a dependent on an other taxpayers return.

MRS. JOHN C. GRIFFIN BURIED HERE THURSDAY

Funeral services were held in Seward Memorial Church Thurs day, Dec. 6, for Mrs. Esther Grlt- fin, nee Tannahill, wife of John C. Griffin of Silver Tip Main tenance Camp, Bur au of Pub lie Roads.
 Mrs. Griffin died December 1 in their home at the camp. She was born November 23, 1902, in Curtis. Oklahoma. She came to Alaska three years ago with her husband, who had been with the forest service in the Payette Ma tional Forest near Mccall, Idaho, before coming to Alaska with the BPR.
 Mrs. Griffin had been ill for several months before her death. She is survived by her husband and daughter, Mrs Doris Stor- CT, who had been attending her mother during her illness.

would become the supply point for the coal fields themselves, an area perhaps supporting a population of many thousands of new residents.
 On November 19, 1910, the Seward Commercial Club Cham Der of Commerce) adopted the slogan Let us mine our own coal" Buttons carrying this slo- gan were soon provided for all members, and large streamers carrying the same plea were used to greet every boat entering the port.
 In March, 1911, Oscar c. La baree, who was then president of the defunct Alaska Northern, urged the people of Seward to make a direct appeal to Presi- C-nt Taft for the opening of the coal 1ields. By this time, the coal dispute in Alaska. had become national issue, tied in with the Ballinger-Pinchot battle on Con servation policy in general. Sec rotary Fisher of the Department of the Interior visited Seward in September, 1911, accompan- jed by Dr. Holmes and Dr. Brooks, and by neWsman J. J. Underwood, who later wrote the book "Alaska-an Empire in the Making" Needless to say, Secre- tary Fisher and his party were m d thoroughly acquainted with the Seward point of view on the coal question. Later the arch villain,' Clifford Pinchot, the author of Conservation Poli- cy, also visited Seward, and felt the full effect of the local pres sure.
 An amusing incident is related regarding the arrival of MT Pinchot. Sylvia Sexton of Sew ard had small dog who used to spend most of his time playing dI Olillu lllc N'O(h, llldhlliS II lCliuo with the crews of visiting steam CTS. He used to pick up small sticks or other light objects and lay them at the feet of the sea men, inviting them to throw so he could retrieve During the moment of decentralization of Clifford Pinchot, during the handshakes of the welcoming committee, Sylvia's dog stopped the show by innocently running up to tha distinguished visitor and laying at his feet-a lump of coal. MT. Pinchot is reported to have smiled rather sheepishly, and remarked, Even the dogs are against me
 Although the hopes for a coal
Seward seaport record., 1951-12-07

boom faded away during the years that passed, Seward kept up the agitation. For more than a decade, a huge lump of Mata- nuska coal was displayed at the Seward depot, to remind each and every visitor of the great resourca at Stewards back door. Gradually, the conversion of steamers and commercial plants to oil lessened the possibility of any large-scale coal development in Alaska, and to this day the Federal policy has also operated against the development of coal exports from Alaska. Yet the coal question remained 'hot, and, as we shall see later, had a great deal to do with the deVel- ,opment of Anchorage. Yet the slim possibility of a coal boom has always been bird in the bush for Seward, supplement- ing the bird in the hand that provided actual livelihood.
