THE EVAN JONES COAL MINE
From, an operating standpoint* the Evan Jones Coal
Company continues to hold the spotlight. Its president,
Oscar Anderson, who is today a visitor in the city, is a
pioneer in the field here having followed the operation
of that splendid organization since the inception some
years ago. The amount of coal which his mine is capa
ble of producing seems destined to be limited only by
the demand of industry in Alaska and elsewhere. His
working years with the company has been spent in inti
mate contact with production and its problems and this
alone is a guarantee of the organization’s future and the
leadership it has always enjoyed reflected in the in
creasing demand for Evan Jones Coal. *.
And the present outlook for market requirements
gives every indication of its having exceptional possibil
ities as shown in the many recent shipments of coal to
all points of the Territory.
Mr. Anderson’s path has not always been lined
with roses. From the very commencement of operations
it was filled with obstacles. He was met at every turn
with “wise-men” who knew he was wrong and would
fail, with scoffers, with the fearful, who dared not place
their savings in new industry that might fail. But
out of the chaos of those early pioneer days in the coal
fields arose a new business, the Evan Jones Coal Com
pany* strengthened daily in the administration and en
gineering division by Mr. Anderson w'ho is in actual
charge of production.
EDWARD GEORGE MORRISEY
The ranks of Alaska’s scribes seem to have under
gone a seige of visitations from the Grim Spectre of
Death- dining the last few months. Yesterday it was
Editor Morrisey of the Ketchikan Chronicle who res
ponded to the Last Call after a nillness of two weeks.
We never knew Editor Morrisey but knew his writ
ings well. Striking out straight from the shoulder, the
sparks falling where they may, whatever he thought was
right and fair, he wrote with a facile pen and valiantly
fought for his adopted land, Alaska.
Whatever his creed we know he has gone where
all good men commingle and the memory of him will be
ever recalled by the monument of writings left behind.
Some of the chiefs of one of the leading political
parties said a few days ago they approved the desire ol
the chairman of its national committee to find out what
the party thinks about prohibition, and then declare
a definite stand on the subject. That is sound statesman
ship. The prohibition question does not differ from any
other question which the people are entitled to decide
There is no disguising the fact that the prohibition gar
ment, as at present constructed, does not give entire
satisfaction to the wearer. His desires should be ascer
tained and carried out should he want a new suit. The
rival political tailors should display their samples anc
patterns openly at the next presidential election.
captain wmtiam ot the'Ms Boxer informed Th<
Gateway while here the other day that the editoria
comment by this paper during the last two years ir
support of the idea to obtain a larger vessel to replac<
the Boxer, undoubtedly was of great assistance to ware
obtaining the $400,000 appropriation for constructor
of a new vessel for which bids are now being called
Realization of desires* is sufficient reward and we ar<
glad if The Gateway helped in its small way.
