ed” on the genial bonifuce, says the
Anchorage Times of last Friday.
White in Seward Mr. Whittemoie
usually acts as chairman of the enter
tuinment committee for ms Anchor
■ge friends. The local hoys are reall
ocating. A large, shiny, black lump
ofeoal while perhaps not as valuable
at the present market prices, as dia
monds, the fact remains that it has
attractions. Some coal offers greater
attraction* than others. Kska coal i*.
•specially attractive, in fact, it is
magnetic.
This fact Mr. Whittemore prove*
!>y his own actions as evidenced by
his trip to Anchorage to once mo**e
ook long and longingly at the ordin
ary sample of Kska coal presented to
the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
by the Alaskan Engineering Commis
sion. It seems that this particular
lump of coal at one time in the dim
and distant past was in the possesion
of the Seward Chamber of Commerce.
Since the change in ownership Mr.
Whittemore has been like a lost spirit,
for he was wont, in his capacity as
president of the Seward commercial
body, to point with pride at “our coat”
in showing tourists tho wonder ot
Seward.
Neither envy nor jealousy prompted
Mr. Whittemore to come to Anchor
age and he denies that he made tlu*
trip especially to find what becanv* cf
“our coal”; neither is he here to see
about the through t>*ain sendee from
Talkeetna to Seward, nor to talk pol
itics. Mr. Whittemore is visiting An
chorage strictly in the role of a friend
on a friendly visit. To this end his lo
cal friends are doing their best to en
tertain this Seward entertainer and
among other scheduled numbers on
the program Bob Courtnay and Ttav
C. Larson acted as guard of honor for
Mr Whittemore while he spent sev
eral delightful moments this after
noon gazing upon “our coal” as -t
rests peacefully at Shonback’s store,
appropriately placarded, “Eska .oal,
presented to the Anchorage Chamber
of Commerce from the Alaskan Engi
neering Commission.”
Mr. Whittemore expects to return
to Seward on Monday’s train and is a
souvenir of the trip will carry on his
person a miniature sample of "our
coal.”
MONTANA LEGISLATURE
HAS A TAME ENDING
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 26—
Wyoming’s first special session of
general suffrage amendment, passed
a law providing for the formation f-i
irrigation districts, appropriated $10,
000 for. relief of Wyoming veterans of
war, and sending a memorial to con
gress condemning the “dilatory pro
cedum’’ of the federal bureaus of sol
diers* compessation and vocational
training.
The session was notable in that
nearly every question which came up
was settled by a unanimous vote, do
tal appropriations for the session ? nd
relief of the soldiers were $78,850.
Compared with former sessions, the
closing night was a tame affair, for
instead cf hurling books, papers, etc ,
at each other during the wind-up, the
legislators were content to discuss pre
sidential possibilities and other mat
ter* of a similar trend, and all appear
ed to be anxioue to leave for theii

The house concurred in the senate
amendment to the appropriation bill
whereby $10,000 was set aside for dis
abled war veterans. It was pointed ont
that many of the muined warr or.s
| might die before any federal aid was
I enacted for their benefit. The funds
, are to be in control of the governor
and paid out by him as deemed best.
The new irrigation legislation is
! designed to prevent huge crop losses
^ through droughts, and provides for a
system of reservoirs which will pro

henefitted to pay in ratio to the bene

CAMPAIGN TO EIH’CATE
BRITISH COAL MINERS
LONDON, Feb. 2b— British coai
miners arc entering upon a nation
wide campaign to “educate” the pub
lic in the school of nationalization.
They are backed by the whole trade
union movement. An attempt will be
made to show that state ownership
and cooperative management >r
mines would benefit the miner, the
consumer and the public t;ca '.iry
This propaganda is t«> be develop* - I
with such intensity as to force the
government to give a definite “yes”
or “no” answer to the question.
Then it will depend upon the ten
acty with which the two bdes
stick by their guns as to whetht r
a general election will be fought out
with nationalization as the issue.
Aside from the dispute between
railway men and the government
over wage, prospects of industr !
peace are regarded by the govern
ment and the trade unionists as
brighter than at apy time since the
conclusion of the war, in C,*oat
Britain.
Government and labor leaders ■*> e
cast a period of serenity and in
creased production for which tl^
have long pleaded as the first es
sential in reestablishing the country
on a firm economic basis.
HCN WAGES INCREASE
COLOGNE, Feb., 2b— The average
daily wage of workingmen in Germany
has increased 241 percent, and of w>
men 262 percent since 1914, accord r.g
to the Imperial Workers’ Gazette of
Germany. The greatest increase was
in the case of the electrical industry.
According to an article in a recent *s
sue of the Cologne Gazette the ex
penses of maintaining a famil/ of
four persons totals 240 marks a w vs*,
