ALASKANS WANT GOAL POT Ifl USE : Boverncr Clark Says il ls Much Needed for Territory. RAILROADS AWAIT NEW ORDER One Lint Suspends for Lack of Min ing Facilities and Industries of North Are Badly in Need of Cheaper Fuel. Favors Leasing System. Washington, Nov. 28. Expressing it as his opinion that the want of cheap (ucl and the delay in opening the Alaska coal fields are the strongest adverse factors in the present prob lem, of territorial progress, Governor Walter E. Clark of Alaska, in his an nual report to the secretary of the in terior, declares that "the ill advised policy of forbidding ajl development of the large coal resources of Alaska, or of placing such restrictions upon development as to niaKe the embarka tion of private capital impossible, is to be deprecated, while the policy of conservation by proper use is to be encouraged.- "This coal," he says, "is needed for the industries of the territory and for the physical comfort of our people, and on no account should it be with held from these uses." The present impossibility of mining coal, under title or lease, is in a meas ure responsible for the suspension of one of the principal railroads. This has caused a general feeling of dis couragement over the business situa tion in those part3 of Alaska where development and settlement .ought to be going on moBt rapidly. Leasing System Advocated. Governor Clark says it appeared in public discussions of the subject that the opposition to opening the Alaska coal fields "springs chiefly from two sources those persons who fear a mo nopoly and those who would have this coal held as a reserve supply for the future." He further says that while the present coal land law is not a good one, "it certainly lends no hope to mo nopolists, but rather is calculated to discourage the embarkation of capital." In declaring his hope for the adop tlon of the leasing system to develop the lands, Governor Clark says: "It will be found quite feasible, according to the best authorities, to devise suit able terms for leases, protecting both the public and the operators, and in suring intelligent conservation." The governor says that the views of the extremist that all the Alaskan coal should be kept as a reserve supply has nothing to commend It A conserva tive estimate, he says, made by Alfred II. Brooks of the geological survey, shows that at the present rate of con sumption the marketable Alaska coals would last 5,000 or 6,000 years. "At the end of that period," he continues, "posterity may be using solar energy or rome other means thnn coal fo light, heat and power." Railroad Building Halts. Little progress has been made in railroad building, in the northwest territory during the last year, It is as serted. The officers of the Alaska Northern railway, which will tap the Mantanuska coal fields, declare that the principal factor in preventing a continuation of construction is the un settled state of the coal land question and the inability of any citizen to ob tain title or lease to these lands. Governor Clark recommends govern ment aid for the railroads In the form of a guarantee of interest on their bonds. He declares that the opening nf new wason roads and trails, with the accompanying lower freight rates on supplies, has enabled mining to be rarrled on In districts which either rould not have opened nt all or would have offered only a precarious oppor tunity to the miner.

In speaking of the death of the late Al. Gass, the Pacific Junction corres pondent of the Glenwood Tribune says: "The death of Alvin E. Gass, which took place Thursday evening of last week , at his home in Plattsmouth, will be regretted by his many friends in Pacific Junction, where he lived for 9 years, from 1889-1898. He was ticket agent here the greater part of the time, and after his return to Plattsmouth was chief clerk under Burlington Storekeeper Guild. For a few years past he had been auditor of the Independent Telephone company there. "Mr. Gas3 was born August 19, 1 862, in Plattsmouth. He is survived by a wife, two daughters, Lucile and Helen, and an only sister, Olive. Death resulted from Bright's disease. The funeral was held Sunday after noon, was largely attended, and was tinder the auspices of the Masonic order. " 'Al,' as he was familiarly known, was a great favorite among Platts mouth people. A fact not generally known was that he was gifted with the pen, having written considerable of both prose and poetry, some of which had been published in the Sat urday Evening Post. i Aid Sent to Strikers. The local cigar makers' union held a session last Friday evening and in compliance with a request of officers of the International Union drew from their treasury the sum of $100.00 and forwarded the same to the strik ing cigar makers of Tampa, Florida. Several thousand cigar makers In that section are on a strike to better their conditions and for the recogni tion of the organization. The local union was notified that members of the Joint Advisory Board had been thrown into prison, books captured and halls closed, and the protests of the union' unheeded by the authorities. The local union de cided to accede to the request of the board and forward the amount called for. A Much Delayed Train. Earl Ilassler returned to Omaha last evening on the "late" M.

P v i c -- v, f X RAILWAY CLASH IS ON AT ALBIA Sawyer and Botand Oppose Iowa Central Roal HAKE CLAIM OF OWNERSH.P. Dismiss All , Employees of Iowa Cen tral on Line From Albia to Center ville Which Has Been Used by Road for Years Conjecture on Outcome. Albia, la., Nov. 2S. One of the most strenuous railway wars in the history of Iowa began with the announcement that the line which has been used by live Iowa Central between Albia ami Centerville for many years was uwnod by Dr. J. L. Sawyer of Centerville and W. A. Boland. a New York capitalist, and the dismissing by the;n of every Iowa Central employee to be found upon the right-of-way. Train crews not even were allowed to take their trains to Iowa Central territory, but were discharged when ever a train was stopped, Mr. Sawyer and Mr. Boland placing other men in their place to handle it until it could be taken to Iowa Central tracks. Spe cial police have been asked for by both sides, the one to prevent Iowa Central employees from trespassing upon the road claimed by the Sawyer Boland combination and the other to prevent any Injury to property which may occur. It Is probable that a cat run by motor will be operated on the line between the two places. Announce Ownership. It has been the supposition here and along tho line that the line from Albia to Centerville was owned by the Sage interests and leased to the Iowa Central. Dr. Sawyer and Mr. Boland, however, upon their arrival here In a Burlington special train from Center ville, announced that they were the owners of the line and Immediately took steps to prevent the Iowa Central from sending any trains over the track by discharging all employees. They declared that the line had been proving a loss to them for some time past under the management of the Iowa Central officials and that they In tended to improve the service. According to the statement of Dr. Sawyer, a car run by motor will take the place of trains on the line, run nlng from the court house at Center ville to the court house in Albia. It Is probable that the car will be run Into Albia over the local street car track and then will be run between Centerville, twelve miles north ol here, and Buxton, when that line la built next year. ' What the management of the Iowa Central will do is a subject of con Jeeture here. A prominent attorney declared that It would be able to dc nothing, thus making Albia the ter minal and shortening the line twenty five miles.

When con gress meets a week from today it will have three months in which to per form whatever may be the demands of a Republican administration. Alter that the fate of the Taft log'statlve program will depend upon the will ot a Democratic house and a Republican senate, a condition which will con tinue until the end of President Tuft present term. . - Confronted with a situation strewn with confusion, the success or failure of the approaching short session of the Sixty first congress is believed to rest with the character of the execu tive message to be sent to the legis latlve bodies, according to Republican party leaders who are now in the city. Many of the regular Republicans de feated in the recent elections are not expected to carry with the best of grace the blows so harshly itfltnlnls tereil, and this fact of itself gives the president a task offering difficulties far more complex than any that have been presented to an executive within years.
