TO BE SHIPPED
(San Francisco Examiner)
Triumphant after six years’ litiga
tion with the government for the con
trol of rich anthracite deposits in i
the Bering River, Alaska, district,
Clarke Davjs, vice-president of the
Alaska Petroleum and Coal company
and its subsidiary company, the Alas
ka Anthracite railroad, is at the St.
Francis. He is accompanied by the
company’s chief engineer, George O.
Nelson.
Davis is here to purchase equip
ment for the road which has its ter
minus at Controller bay and taps the
Bering river field, but 23 miles in the
interior and just across the canyon
from the rich Cunningham field.
Negotiations were completed yes
terday for the purchase of equipment
totaling nearly $100,000, and includ
ing locomotives, coal cars and flat
cars. The rails have been purchased
from the Northern Pacific at Seattle.
Nelson left for the north last even
ing. Davis will remain for the pur
pose of completing negotiations for
bottoms to transport his company’s
coal to San Francisco, and also to
establish permanent connections for
handling his anthracite in competi
tion with the eastern and Australian ;
coals. Davis said last night:
“Our road will tap 33,000 acres of
coal in a bearing field at a cost of
less than $500,000. This field is twice
the estimated tonnage and contains a
superior grade of anthracite than that
found in the Matanuska field, where
that United States government is
expending $10,000,000 for a railroad
and has asked for further appropri-'
ation of $2,000,000. In addition the
government has a haul of 200 miles !
to Seward, as against 23 for our road, i
The government field is also 400 miles ;
farther from San P’rancisco and oth-!
er coast ports than is our terminus,1
Controller bay.
Our c^al has been tested by Dr. G. .
C. Martin of the United States Geo-;
logical survey, and he says it com
pares favorably with the finest Penn
sylvania anthracite. We have plat
ted out over eight million tons and be- '
ginning August 1 can mine a thou- i
sand tons a day for the next 20 years.
The Alaska Petroleum and Coal
company has the only patent for an
thracite coal mining in Alaska, and I
this was obtained only after six;
years of litigation and the expendi- i
ture of a fortune. All of the rest is
under government control.
The consumer in San Francisco is
paying' $19 a ton retail for anthra
cite no better than ours, and, since
we can lay this coal down in bunkers
at the wharf in San Francisco at $5
a ton, it should cost the consumer
less than $10.00.
We have carriers for 600 tons per
day from Controller bay to Seattle,
but would like to get into the market
in San Francisco.
Our president, Thomas Lippy, was ;
the first man to bring gold from the
Klondike into San Francisco.
It seems to me you San Francis
cans are overlooking the Alaska bus
iness. You pay too much attention to
the •Oriental trade, and are losing a
big proportion of our $100,000,000
worth of purchase we make yearly,
and, consequently, the greatest pro
portion of it goes to Seattle, whereas
firms in this city can undersell them.

WASHINGTON, March 8.—The
Republican Publicity association,
through its president, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., today gave out the fol
lowing statement at its Washington
headquarters:
"The president’s address to con
gress leaves no doubt as to what he
wants. Irtk wants all the power and
resources of the nation placed in his
hands, with congress dispersed while
he tempts fate with the issues of
peace or war. We may freely admit
that Mr. Wilson is firmly devoted to
the cause of peace that nothing which
he would do knowingly would involve
us in hostilities; and it may be, that
nothing which he would do unwit
tingly would produce such an out
come.
“But even so, it would be a danger
ous precedent to establish. The war
making powers of the constitution are
vested solely in congress. They and
not the president are the representa
tives of the people, from whom they
take frequent mandate. If they make
a vital error now they may be dealt
with in November of next year. If
the president makes a vital error now
he may not be dealt with until No
vember, 1920.
“Even if the president possessed all
the wisdom of the country—which he
will not claim, even if he embodied
all the v:rfiihJLof the nation—which he
will not claim, even if his cabinet
were a ‘ministry of all the talents’—
which they are not, it would be most
unwise to place in his hands the pow
er which he desires.
The American president, under the
constitution already possesses more
authority than any other chief of
state. European monarchs are guided
by their ministries, who, in turn, are
responsible to parliaments, which are
specialy responsive to the popular
will. The sole check on an Americai
president js the counsels of congress;
and there is no feasible and peaceful
method of diminishing his tenure. To
add to his powers as Mr. Wilson asks
might or might not result in war. It
might produce a war which the peo
ple’s representatives could not sanc
tion in morals but which in practice
they would have to sustain. It might
produce a peace which they likewise
could not approve in patriotism, al
though they might be compelled to
submit to it. And it surely would cie
r.te a situation wherein there would
be more of future danger to American
institutions than could be found in
the most bloody and costly of wars or
:n the most suphie sort of peace.
‘Judging the future of the United
States in the long perspective of cen
turies and not t?y the mere phases of
a passing condition, it would be better
far to wage war, to expend life, ar>d
to squander treasure than to admit
that the people, through their epre
sentatives, were so doubtful of then
own judgment i.nd their own senti
ments that they preferred to sun'en
der to one man and to one mind the
greatest issue which can confront a
nation.”

LOCAL RAILWAY MAN
ON VACATION IN STATES
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)
After really seeing the beginning of
the Alaska railroad and working along
with it until it has stretched out more
than 100 miles, G. L. Jenkins came to
the states for a vacation. He attended
the Mardi Gras at New Orleans and is
now at the Northern hotel, on his way
back to Anchorage.
Jenkins is the conductor of the only
passenger and freight train running on
the government lines. He went to
Alaska with Lieut. Frederick Mears'
when Anchorage constisted of three
teflts. He had the only train on the
road three years ago, when the locomo
tive used was an old crane. Since that j
time the road has received four en
gines and several cars. The main line
between Anchorage and Kings river is
sixty-five miles and the train of four
i cars makes the round trip every two
days. The engineers expected to get
the line into the Chickaloon coal fields
some time this spring. Jenkins was
with Mears when the latter was es
tablishing a government railroad be
i tween Colon and Panama and worked
on the road as conductor for more than
eight years.
“There has been a scarcity of labor
on the line and the government is pay
ing about 45 cents an hour for com
mon labor,” said Jenkins yesterday.
“Men on the works have holdings
along the road and as soon as the road
is finished expect to work them. We
are not bothered with much snow dur
! ing the winter, but last year we ran
! out of coal, so we opened a mine at
! Moose creek that supplies the railroad
and Anchorage. yft is about 300 feet
i off the line and we have a spur that
! runs right up to it, so we just have to
I shovel it on the cars.
; “New Orleans and the whole South
j seem quite prosperous. At the carnival
1 they had more people than they were
; prepared to handle. They were lodging
! them everywhere and quite a few were
not sleeping at all. They had s!c nany
1 inquiries for rooms that they httoo out
I some old river boats as floating 'hotels
i that had been discarded and were
anchored out in the stream.”

WASHINGTON NINE
PLANS ALASKA TO
(Seattle Post-Inteliigencpr,4
The University of Washington base
ball team may take a trip to Alaska to
cross bats with the many semi-pro
teams organized in the towns of the
northern territory, if the plans of
baseball men in Treadwell and Juneau
materialize. The journey will be tak
en after the close of college in June.
No definite terms have been offered
by the Alaskan enthusiasts and Wash
ington baseball men are waiting for a
definite answer. The varsity players^
though, are strong for the trip and the
only possible catch would hinge on a
failure of agreement on a financial*
basis.
The first baseball turnout of the
year was held yesterday. Coach Dode
Brinker talked to the candidates in the
gym on the value of clean living and
strict training, and then sent them,
out onto University field for light
work. About 150 merj turned out.
Four letter men were out ready for
work, the others being prevented by
class work. Capt. Ross Wilson, Rog
ers, Ralph Smith and Peck Davis were
out on the field. Bud McDermott was
out, but an injured leg kept him out
of any active work. Class work kept
Beam and Ladner away. 9
