NAVAL COALING STATIONS.
K*preseutam , Humphrey , ot this
stale. ha* be... urging sirougly upon
tin navy department ui_* necessity ot
estabUsQing b station iu
.-Ua^Ka. inert it no uoubt that the
aavy ut'pai'Uutiil wul bo only too
j;luu to e>uu>l?u siku a station, prob
;ibiy two suc'i stations. just as soon
as the .Uaska eoal eaa be made avail
able for naval purposes. Indeed, the
aibee for the proposed ua\al stations
aj \ e long Muce been chosen. JKol
io?;ii? upou a bunker test of the
coal irom tue .Matanuska field, CapL
1'e.iKi, ot the Uuilalo, some years
since selected a site tor a na\ al coal
lag station on Resurrection bay, near
S? naru, the i< riuinus of the Alaska
Central rauroau. over which road the
Matanuska coai will reach tide water.
1 he coal -ii this field has been
found ideal tor naval purposes, it
Itmg as kooU for steamship use as
aLy from the reiahon'a* field. When
?his sate was selected it was suppos
ed that the railroad would be speed
ily completed to the Mat&nuska
field, that the mines would be open,
lhal from h-.iU the entire eoal sup
ply far the na\al vetHii ou the l*a
v iic could be drawn, the aa\y de
partment couid sa\e about a million
dollars a year lu the cost ot its fuel
and an important naval post be built
cp at the site selected.
But the radical conservationists got
an inning, 'ifce eoal entries of the
A!atanu&ka field were held up and
Jia\ e remained held up exer since,
!!.?. construe- n of the railroad stop
ped. because there was no use in
l sliding the road until the coal
i? mes could be operated; the site for
a coaling station has not been utiliz
ed and the navy continues to pay a
million dollars a year more thau it is
necessary for coal for its Pacific
fleeL
Whenever uit Alaska coal mines
>re opened there will undoubtedly' be
a natal coi-..n?. station on Resurrev
tion bay. and it is altogether prob
a . e that another station will be es
tablished on K.i-ka island, one of
?ae extreme western outposts of the
Aleutian group, where a naval reser
vation was made man} years ago for
Ll'? purpose. It is one oi the most
important sL?atcgic points for such
a purpose ih:.; this country posses*

PLAY BALL.
The good oil gautc .s under way,
w k-t us vkaui: the players play,
without a gnci or i**r; oil let us sit
like broodut^ ow.-s, ani howl again
the ?&niv o J howls that ?v put up
last year. \\t ii roast a player when
lie makes a series o f disastrous
breaks, and vail h;ai r antes like
'quince," am. if himself ite should
r>.ueexu, we'U hail him w.'th joyous
scream, and .-?y he is a prince. We'll
liave an idol every day, and say he
has no few t ol i.<v; our plaudits will
resound , w <_? ti prats* him till he
muffs the ball, and then the same
old names v e'L call, and hoot him
lroni thv ground. And m these hap
py baseball uf ys we'll resurrect each
cie&Utut phrase, from ?u' our pile
c i junk; well call them boneheads
when they try in vain to stop a
whizzing fly, end say their work is
punk. We'll sit and chew the same
old rags, and spring again the same
old gags, ani make the same old
l*ts; we'll use the same sarcastic
sirckes. and all prehistoric jokes, and
breathe the same old threats. I wish
thtre would aris*- a man a gifted,
soulful baseball fan. a being real
arid true, who would upon the bleach
ers sit, and tarow some novel sort
of fit, and yell out something new!
