Thomas handled this situation with
his usual cleverness and many Alas

The delegation is expected in Seat

BAY CITY WILL
TRY TO OIVERT
ALASKA TRADE
During a recent Investigation of
the Alaska situation by a committee
sent out by the interior department,
ttfe interesting private Informatio l
was received In certain business quart,
era that the former territorial ship
ping plan has been practically turned
over to the United States Shipping
Board, and that board in turn has
plans to attempt to divert a part of
the Alaska trade to San Francisco by
the allocation of ships.
This, of course, was to be expected,
says the Railway and Marine News,
but it may not be generally known
that for many months previously i
well-developed plan has been thought
eral attempt to capture this trade
largely for the benefit of wholesale
grocery and supply houses. T^ate last
year, James Wickersham wrote a
lengthy letter to Julius Kahn, a Cal
ifornia representative in Congress.
This letter at great length pointed out
the opportunity for San Francisco to
control the Alaska coal output, and
advocated a steamship line from that
port. Quoting from James Wicker
sham's letter:
suant to my recent conversation with
you. In which I tried to persuade you
that San Francisco ought to make an
active study of the coal situation in
Alaska, and of the futur.y trade rela
tions therewith. I urge this upon you
for these reasons: First, your oil sup
ply will not furnish you with the ne
cessary fuel for all purposes after a
few years: second, you need large
quantities of coal in San Francisca
even if your oil supply shall never
fall: third, your trade relations be
tween San Francisco and Alaska can
bo built up on the coni trade better
than in any other way; fourth, Seattle
does not want Alaska coal: she has
plenty of con! in her own state and
will never buy Alaska coal.
"Seattle has grown to be a groat
city out of the resources of Alaska,
but the day is coming when her trade
will entirely decline, because the hack,
bone of the Alaska trade hereafter
will be intimately associated with her
development of her coal fields, which
are of no interest to Seattle. Let me
make it clear to you that Seattle does
not want Alaska coal.!'
This probably explains In par why
the shipping board will take over the
territorial shipping plan and why an
attempt will be made to again divert
trade from Seattle. However, there
is no chance that anything will be
done this year toward establishment
of steamship lines. The plan is to
start it with a spring rush in 1921 and
Seattle merchants are quietly laying
their plans to hold their share of the

Hoalth^Tanlac Restores Him
"I consider my first bottle of.Tanlae
has been worth all of one hundred
dollars to me.” declared Dan Mc Lean,
of 335 Rsplennde streets, Sydney, Novo
Scotia, while in Turnbull's Drug: store
for more of the medic-ine, recently.
Mr. McLean has been following the
carpenter's trade for the past forty
years. He has lived in Sydney fur
twenty years and is well known.
"Seeing: by the papers that Tanlae
was helping so many others who were
in a run down condition, and think
ing it might help me to get on my
feet. I bought a bottle. Well, it may
sound exaggerated but it's the truth,
ifter taking my fourth -lose of Tan
lac I could tell it was what 1 tended
and was going to do the work, and T
have been gaining ground ever since-.
Why I never ate more titan fifty uen*3
worth of food a week before 1 got
Tanlae, but now I want to eat all the
time and no matter what kind of food
is set before me. I enjoy it. I have
just finished my first bottle of Tanlae
and I am feeling well enough already
to go back to work. Tanlae beats
anything I have ever seen or heard
xbout; it is no more like other medi
cines \ have used than day is like
night. Before taking It my nerves
were so shattered that I could never
ffet a good night's sleep, hut ndw I
deep like a log. I also had the worst
kind of headaches, hut they have been
broken up entirely. Tanlae is simply
making a new man of me and I hon

trial will be convinced.”
