MARKET FOR ALASKA COAL
Alaska coal will not need to seek a
market when production begins. The
market awaits it uww. The coal fields
of the northwestern states and British
Columbia seem unable to keep pace
with the growing demand. This may
be due to conservative management
of the coal supply which has failed to
foresee the enormous increase of de
mand in the region of its natural
market, hut even so the production is
not likely soon to overtake the de
mand which has already outstripped
he yield.
This is the opportunity which awaits
he Alaska coal fields und will he pre
„ nted as s.ion as transport at on reach
> them. Of these the Matanuska
»anks first in extent and quality, and
according to present calculations it can
*cvin a steady output within two
voars. for the Alaska Central railroad
should reach these mines within that
ime.
At the present time the coal short
,ge of Puget sound is so acute that
nastwiso steamers find difficulty in
securing fuel anti are often compelled
b> take an inferior grade. They are
.tiso compelled to carry coal for the
-\>und trip to Alaska and return.
When the Matauuska coal fields be
. .mies accessible steamers running
io:n Seattle to Seward will sail from
he sound with only coal enough to
bring them to this end of the run, and
eturning will carry coal cargoes,
uaking steamship business vastly more
profitable than now. when soitth
*H)und ships carry only a little ore for
•reight.
The opening of the immense high
grade deposits of the Matanuska area
o the markets of the Pacific will mark
•tn era in the history of the coast.
REFORMED LIFE INSURANCE
Now conn the reform managers of
wo big life insurance companies and
admit that they perpetrated gigantic
•allot frauds to retain control of the
companies in the interest of the
oolicy holders, no doubt. It was in
be iuterest of the policy holders that
he old managers used to subscribe
funds of the companies for political
campaign purposes and loan the
eserves to stock gamblers. Gov.
Hughes of New York must have
known something about the band of1
purifier*, when he stated a few days'
ago that the reformed management is
a* corrupt a* the old.
This is the reform talent which
wants big salaries, as urged in a poly* j
>yl!abled es>ay by Grover Cleveland a,
few days ago. Mr. Cleveland is draw
ing the modest sum of $25,000 a year j
is counsel for writing a letter now and
then to boost the plans of the insur
ance purifiers.
Life insurance seems to be a grand
confidence game. At least it seems to '
-engender cheating as infallibly as
gambling. Some honest persons may
i>rrak into life insurance but it ap-l
pears that after a tnan has been In the '
management of a life insurance com
pany a year or two he becomes in-}
oculated with an irresistible inclina- j
.lion to steal. It may be uncertain,
•A-Wph is cause and which i> effect but
either life insurance makes men
crooked or only crooked men break |
into life insurance management.
The telegraph story that a rnovc
•nent is on foot among the eonserva- j
rives to’ force’' Grover Cleveland to ^
run for president in 190* is a reminder j
of Henry Watterson’s comment a few
years ago. that ‘ Mr. Cleveland will be
a candidate for president every four
years as long as he lives.’
Some people would like to know if
Tommy Burns backed out of that
frame-up because he thought his slice
■wasn't big enough. And did the
referee call bets off because he and his j
friends had bet on the O’Brien cinch
which was lost when Burns welched?
If Kvelyn gets forgiveness from
mamma -he ought to relent herself
and give Brother Howard that $100 he
has been trying to touch her and
Harry Thaw for.
A political orator declared that ‘‘the
British lion, whether climbing the
<ine forests of Canada or scouring the
’acitie main, would not draw in his
iorns or retire into hi- -hell, and an
\ustralian legislator, speaking of the
•competition between land and sea car
riage, exclaimed, “Mr. Speaker, the
nil ways are cutting the ground from
mder the steamers’ feet.’'

TOMMY BURNS
GETS DECISION
O’Brien Makes Foot Race of
Their Fi^ht and Contest
Appears Farcical.
By Cable to The Dally Oataway.
Los Angeles, May 1)-Tommy Burns
was given the decision at the end of
twenty rounds in the tight with Jack
O’Brien last night. The contest was
a farce as O'Brien made a foot rues of
it and Burns was compelled to force
the fighting all the wa\ through. All
bets were declared off by the referee,
who gave no reason tor his action.
Jack Sullivan before the tight chal
lenged the winner to meet his sparring
partner, Kid Cutler, offering to put
up a side bet.
Fake Arranged But Dropped
Los Angeles. May !> This afternoon
Burns made a statement admitting
that the fight was prearranged and
that he had agreed to allow O’Brien to
win. Just before the tight he changed
his mind and notified the other side
that he was going to light to win.
For this reason the referee announced
that all bets were off.
Fighters Try to Kxplain
Los Angelos, May P> Tommy Burns
says the only way to get Jack O’Brien
into the ring with a dangerous man is
to arrange a compact for a definite
result in his favor. O’Brien says the
proposition to Burns to lay down to
him was made hv Manager Carvey
without his knowledge. Jim Jeffries
says the scandal ends the pugilistic
career of O’Brien.
