SEAJ1LE PAPER IELLS
WHAT AILS ALASKA
If congress really wishes to "do
something for Alaska" it could
jcarsel> do better than to pnss the
bill providing for tho entry of coal '
lands in that territory which has
btin prepared and Introduced by '
Senator I'lttman. Senator Plttman
has the advitntagc of knowing some
thing about the subject for which
' ho suggests legislation, an advan
lage not always had by othor mom-j
hers of congress. He was a resi
lient of Alaska for some length of;
tlntc. Ills measure, if passed, and]
If the Interior department permits!
it to become effective, will prepure
til'- way for tho opening of coal
mines in Alaska, and tho mines will
be, opened and ready to ship coal
as soon as the railroads are extend
ed to thein.
But if the Plttmun bill doe* not
pass. It will be necessary for Sec
rotary Lane to induce or compel a
change In the attltudo which has
been assumed for many years past
by the permanent officials of the
general land offico and tho spe
clal ugiuU of that bureau In the
field toward all claimants to pub
IK lauds under tho laws of congress.
These subordinate officials have
filt called upon to Interpose every
nally securing ticlo by such cla
nally sccouring title by such clal
menU; they have harassed, delayed
and annoyed them In overy "con
ceivable way. Probably the most
glaring 1' stance is that of the one
coal claim In Alaska which has us
vet proceeded to patent. The mun
*ho located this claim spent fifteen
years In the work of obtaining pa
tent. For seven years aftor the
laws permitted him to take out a
patent he wus held out of it and re
futed permission to mino coal. Not
a single fact doveloped which could
be construed as effoctlng his right.
Finally, but reluctantly, the land of
fice let him have his land. The
I'ittman bill will bo of but little val
ue If tin land office fights overy
clulmcnt under !t for soven or eight
yoars before letting hint open his
m'ue. ? Post Intelligencer.
