GREAT SUPPLY
OF COAL TO BE
MINED ON INLET
Alluring statements a»e given in a
statement in a recent San l* ranck'vo
Examiner regarding the “great coal
fields at the head of Cook Inlet, free
from ice the entire year.” Gus Bor
pen received a letter in the last mail
from Neil S. French and the latter en
closed the following clipping which
makes interesting trading from more
than one standpoint:
“The United States government has
opened up the Alaska coal fields. The
first license to mine coal in Alaska
reached San Francisco yesterday ano
immediately the incorporations pap . >
of the Chirkaloon (Val Company \ ere
filed.
“The Chtckaloon voir piny is com
posed of a number of wealthy local
Malian Americans who have subscrib
ed <1,2a0,000 for thv purpose of bring
ing coal from the Matanuska holds to
San Francisco.
“The president of ti'.e Company is
M. J. Fontana and the vice-president
A. L. Brizzelara. The coal fields were
discovered. surveyed and developed by
'Valter from ports, who is now at Vu
tamrka.
•..
“The receipt of the government li
cense to mine in Alaska means that
an immense quantity of coal will be
brought here and to Seattle by the
company and the puce of fuel will go
down before the end ot March, it is
claimed.
“Comi ci ts reported that there was
a large field of coal close to the sir
face and within a stone’s throw of
tidewater. That there was a long
wharf tlready built out into deep wa
ter and that the head of Cook’s inlet
is open from ice all the year around
and protected absolutely from all
gales so that shipments can bo mad^
at all times.

WEALTHYMAN
OF WISCONSIN
PASSES AWAY
MARINETTE, Wis., Mtrcli 15. —
Isaac Stephenson, former United
States Senator of this state, died sud
denly this forenoon at his home here,
at the age of 89 years.
Aside from the fact that Isaac Step
henson, during his service as Uniter
States Senator, enjoyed the distinction
of being the oldest, as well as the
wealthiest Senator ir. the upper housn
of Congress, he ranked as one of the
greatest producing lumbermen in the
nation. The principal scene of his
operations in the lumber industiy was
in North Michigan, that section owing
a laige part of its development in the
lumbering and mining industries to
his efforts. His properties in that
section aie still among the largest j
holdings in the state, and his various
ldustries there employ thousands of
men.
Born near 'Fredericton, New Bruns
wick, June 18, 1829, he spent his early
youth on his father’s farm and in
working in tnc lumber woods. He had
practically no schooling. At sixteer,
he left home and went to Milwaukee.
He found employment with the Wells
Lumber Company and was associated
.rich Daniel Wells Jr., for many years.
In 1857 he became an operator of
lumber camps in his own interests.
His curly political career included
two terms in the Wisconsin legisla
ture, and three terms in Congress.
In May, 1907, he was appointed to
fill the unexpired term of Senator
John C. SpooneV, resigned,, and was
elected to succeed himself, in 1909. It
was in connection with this election
that the Wisconsin legislature, after
a lengfhv investigation of the Sena
tor’s campaign, filed charges with the
United States and asked an investi
gation into the election, alleging that
money had been used to unduly in
fluence votes. The investigating com
mittee went into the matter exhaus
tively. and while they showed that
Mr. Stephenson spent over $11?,000
to be elected, no undue influence or I
graft was shown and he was retained
I
in his seat by a vote of the Senate,
40 to ?4.
Senator Stephenson always remain
ed a plain, unassuming man. His
i greatest pleasure each year we - ♦o
gather together a number of friends
who enjoyed the outdoor life and
“rough it” at an old lumber canrn on
his properties above Escanaba, Mich.
Senator Stephenson owned the Bon
ita, on'* of the finest steam yachts on
the Great Lakes. He seldom found
time to enjoy the craft but he found
great pleasure in loaning it to ole
friends, soldiers’ associations, lodges
and similar organisations of his towns
people.
To him, and to the men whom he
gathered about him in his various
business ventures, his home city, Mar
inette, Wis., owes much of its pros
perity and progress. He was always
open-handed with his home town, and,
scattered about the city, various
buildings, library, parks and other
memorials.

PULLED FROM
MAN’S TEETH
LONDON, March 15. — Some of
the hardships experienced by British
forces in Palestine are described in a
letter received here from a priest. The
letter, written shortly before the fall
of Jerusalem, tells of a day early in
November when a camel convoy from
Beersheba was unable to reach the
men then fighting for the de’iverance
of the Holy City from the Turk.
“There was a hot wind blowing,”
wrote the priest. “A tumbler full of
water was left in my bottle which I
divided between four officers whose
lips were split and covered \ with a
green slime. That afternoon I had a
burial service, and, literally I could
lot articulate without keeping my
hand to my mouth and pulling my
lower lip ofT my teeth, while bullets
from a concealed sniper whizzed past
us. In the evening water came in,
enough to give; each one bottle—quite
inadequate.”
FOOTBALLISTS
NOT WANTED IN
FRONT TRENCHES
LONDON, March 15. — American
college athletes will find something to
think about in this. A prominent
Glasgow medical man who has just
returned from a professional visit in
the front in France says that profes
sional football players are* not wanted
in the trenches, and explains that this
is so because their endurance is less
than ono third of that of the ordin
ary .void er taken from the desk or the
farm or the shop. He attributes this
to the fact that they have been so
long ‘tuned” to the highest pitch to
take part in the game. In addition,
their nerves are so acute that they
cannot stand gunfire, as can the or
dinary man. The doctor says “It is
like linking up a race horse with an
artillery team.”
The only time a girl likes to have
fat ankles is when they are above her
knees where they don’t show.
