NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME
Coal production at the rate of 10,000 tons per day is
the aim of interests who are taking up the development
of big leases at Matanuska.
Inspection by both government and private engineers
shows that the coal is there.
The government is building the railroad, will have it
done by the time the chinook winds begin to blow next
spring, nothing interfering.
All plans are complete and all is prepared for, save
one thing, where is that 10,000 tons of coal to be loaded
aboard colliers each day?
It is, inded, strange that so much has been accom
plished on this project iwthout the final settlement of so
important a point.
The navy department has indicated that its coal must
be delivered at Seward.
Certain officials of the commission are preparing to
establish a coal terminal of some description at Anchor
age.
The most definite estatement in regard to this pro
posed Anchorage improvemnt, its proposed cost and ex
tent, yet to come to the attention of the writer is to be
found on page 743 of the hearing before the House com
mittee on sundry Civil Bill for 1917, which has just been
received.
It is in answer to a question bv Congressman Mon
dell:
-V
‘‘Mr. Mondell: Do you expect to use this appropri
ation for the purpose of doing whatever dredging and
wharf building is necessary at Anchorage to make ship
ping at that point practicable?
Mr. Edes: Yes, sir. I expect to use a portion that
is in here to do some dredging and get the project started.
I do not expect that out of the amount asked for here,
$250,000, that we would make final terminal facilities at
Anchorage. We have been investigating that matter and
we will have to investigate still further, judging by our
experience this winter. To make shipping facilities there
that would enable us to ship from two to three thousand
tons of coal a day would cost somewhere in the neighbor
hood of half a million dollars, I suppose, and perhaps a
little more. ..We have not gone into that thoroughly.
Mr. Mondell: If you have the full amount of this
appropriation, what is the earliest date you hope to be
able to run trains through from the Matanuska coal fields
to Seward?
Mr. Edes: Well, I should say the latter part of 1917
or the spring of 1918.”
If it will cost half a million dollars and “perhaps a
little more” to establish coal facilities to handle two to
three thousand tons per day at Anchorage, what would it
cost to ship 10,000 tons per day, every day in the year from
that point?
To come right down to brass tacks, there is not a man
on this project who does not know that it will be a physi
cal impossibility to get 10,000-ton colliers into Cook Inlet

a good many days between the last ot November and tne
first of April, and every ten of those days there will he
100,000 tons of coal stacking up somewhere, eating up in
terest on invested capital and somewhere else there will
be an angry fuel consumer without coal.
Now is the accepted time to decide this little matter
and allow the public of the United States, who are putting
up for this project, by which a large part of whom west
o fthe Rockies expect to benefit directly, and all indirect
lv, to know what, where, how and when.
AS YOUR HEART IS
Members of the tempororay organization of the
American Red Cross here have launched a campaign to
secure additional members prior to the arrival of Robert
H. Scott, representative of the Pacific Coast division, who
is expected shortly, to aid in completing the organization
of this chapter.
The Red Cross knows no creed or country and is for
the aid of both the wounded of the enmy who may fall
into our hands as well as to allleviate suffering among
those who fight for and with the United States.
Recently the War Commission of the American Red
Cross asked for one dollar each from the hundred million
people in America, and received pledges of more, but some
of this has failed to appear. Seward has already for
warded a considerable sum but not all here have contrib
uted.
We may not be able to convince you of your duty, but
as your heart is, so will you do.
They do what no
other cigarette
ever did before;
they satisfy—and
yet they’re MILD.
