MILLION LOST
TO TERRITORY
He .1. .). Underwood
of the Seattle Times
WASHINGTON. (Mail) — Ity a
chain of peculiar and somewhat inti i
iate legislative circumstances. Alaska
this summer lost sl.OOO.OhO. Polegalo
(loorge 1C (Irigsby for several weeks
nrevious to his departure to the west
t » take up matters in connection with
Pis auction contest, made determined
efforts to loeover this amount from
the ueasuf} . and then* is some prob
: hility that'the effort will be crowned
with success.
The* talc of this lost million has i»
dr. with naval appropriations, the
A hi.! a fields, the passage of
tiin*e diff • ent bills, and the fact that
the na\> department for several
months past has been having :• busy
turn' in transporting troop* from
Europe and in organizing the Peri fie
fleet.
On July 1. hi*t year, there was pass
ed a naval appropriation bill of
000,000 for fuel and supplier This ap
propriation included an item of 81.
000,000 to he used in making an investi
gation of the Alaska coal, in opening
up a coal mine in that section, building
bunkers and doing such oth'*r work a
was found necessary to furnish Ala*
kun fuel to the Pacific fleet.
Funds Ordered Returned
The navy at tin- time had a number
of other important matters in hand. It
wa> late in the reason before an offi
cer was available, and it was probably
thought best to put the work off.until

this summer. Last February •another
!i\v was passed . It provided that all
tin* unexpected funds in tlie hands ol
the navy he reconverted to the troas
my. On July It, this year, another
naval apropriation was made. Flie
Alaska item was included, and the
measure piovided that the money
•dtould be furnished from tin* unex*
pended funds appropriated in the bill
last year. The fact that these moneys
had been paid hack into tin* treasury
was entirely overlooked.
Special Vet Needed.
This loaves tho navy department un
it< r instil 'tions of congress to spmid
#1,000,000 in opening a coal mine and
building hunkers in Alaska, hut the
nocesuiiv money for the work is in Ha*
treasury and there is no way of get
ting it out again without a special act
by congress.
