JNASWERABLE
ARGUMENT
The following extract from a
peech delivered hv Senator
Tims. .1. Walsh of Montana, is
if interest to every Alaskan,
md an unanswerable argu
nent in favor of “opening up
\!aska. •
It was disclosed in recent
nvestigations. by a senatorial
ommitlee. that the navy pur
hased for the use of the fleet
here300.000 ton? of coal al
i cost of about 85 or $5.50 per
on. costing the government
>n the Pacific Coast about ?$ a
on. when an abundance of
■oal can be obtained within
?5 miles of the seaboard of
\laska, and laid down at the
eaboard at a cost not to ex
eed 82.50. In other words.
iy reason of the fact that the
•oal deposits are locked up.
md the government ha« paid
something like 81.500,000 an
■ ually for freight on coal which
s carried around to the fleet.
With the $1,500,00, the
mount the United States is
laying annuaily on coal, you
•on build a railroad into the
■oal mines and the coal can
>e laid down "at tidewater for
ess than it costs at the sea
mard. Yet. it seems imnos
ible to make any headway
>r to develop any of these
ands under the cxsisting laws.
Practically everything is re
erved from appropriation and
10 lands are geing i-sued upon
he appropations being made.
“Of course public attention
das been directed for a great
many years to the condition of
iffairs in Alaska, and it is noi
it all all unjust or unfair to
av that that condition con
-titutes a reproach to the
’nifed Slates and to the com
mon wealths of the United
■'tates.
I would not like to have any
body understand that I am
iffering any criticism what
ever of the inital reservation of
his land, of the interrption o:
he process of approprafion
if same by private individuals,
n fact. 1 am profoundly con
inced today that thi« is a wise
ust and necessary effort on
he part of those charged with
he administration of the pub
ic lands; but rml to have made
'.me provision since that time
easonnhly adapted for the de
elopmenl of those lands and
lilization of Uieir great de
posit- of coal for the use of
avv in case that should be un
vWimaleiv unavailable in time
if war on *he Pacific, is some
hing that constitutes a crime.”

The Juneau federal jail is

Marshal 11. L. Faulkner says
that if the prisoners were put
to work on the streets and
roads it would offer some re
lief as it would relieve the eon
gestion at least a part of the
time and would also prove a
deterrent to those who habit

have comfortable quarters,
good food and nothing to do.

Dr. Ramsey is manager of tlie

Although it was a very dry
season and a bad one for most
of (lie operators, he says that
his company had a very suc
cessful year, although only one
of the dredges.was able to op
erate. One dredge, a new one
on Gasa de Paga river, was mi
able to do any work on account
of the lack of water, but their
dredge on Solomon river had
an unusually rich season. In
speaking of the recent storm
at Nome, Dr. Ramsey said:
“Nome needs all the relief
that she can get, more morey
is needed right now.” At the
