FOURTH AND O STREETS
May Substitute
Alaska Coal for
California Oils
(Juneau Empire).
One of the things that George
Watkin Evans will investigate while
in Alaska is the adaptability of Alas
ka coal for use in the new powdered
form, processes for making and us
ing which have been developed with
in the last few months. It is the
purpose of the Department of Mines
to discover whether or not the sub
stitution of Alaska coal in powdered
form would be a satisfactory substi
tute for California oils. Mr. Evans
passed through Juneau on the Prin
cess Alice.
Evans had charge of the expedi
tion which brought to the seacoast
a sample of 1,100 tons of M-Paruska
coal for the Navy department. It
was largely because of the value of
this coal for naval purposes that the
government railroad in Alaska was
decided upon. Evans will leave for
Fairbanks Saturday morning.
liig Power Plant Planned.
The government engineers, besides
constructing a line from the coastal
end of the railroad, have a big crew
of men working from Fairbanks to
| wards the Nenana coal field, about
i 100 miles from the interior metropo
; lis. It is probable that a big power
plant will be erected at this ponit to
generate electricity for the railroad.
In addition to studying the coal
measures with a view to ascertaining
whether the coal will lend itself to
briquetting and carbonization, or in
powdered form as a substitute for oil,
Mr. Evans will examine the district
to see what mining conditions will be
the most economical in this field. He
believes that parts of the field, where
the beds are thick and close to the
surface, can be mined by steam shov
el. The problem of manufacturing
producer gas will be carefully consid
ered.
Although Evans has not made many
i trips to Alaska, having made sever
I al examinations of both the Bering
' and Matanuska coal fields, both for
' the government and for private par
, ties, this will be his first trip into
| the interior of the territory since
j 13!>7, when he joined the stampede
j of gold hunters into the Klondike.
Pleased With His
Anchorage Visit
After spending nine days in An
chorage in the interest of his com
pany, Carl Taylor, traveling freight
i anil passenger agent for the Southern
Pacific, left for Seward on the Ad
miral Evans yesterday. Before leav
ing, Mr. Taylor said, “1 have been
more than pleased with my visit to
Anchorage and was greatly surprised
to see the progress your city ha
made in one short year. However.
; it is no more than to be expected af
ter meeting the representative class
of citizens that your city can wel
boast of!” Mr. Taylor further said
that he hoped to have the pleasure
of making Anchorage another visit
next year and have the opportunits
of renewing the acquaintances he
made on this trip.
SUNDAY SERVICE AT

The Labor Temple was well fillei

heard in the solos, “One Sweetly Sol
emn Thought” (Ambrose) and “When

ONE OF THESE BEAUTIFUL TEA SPOONS
Men of North
Can Fly High
If They Want
_
(Juneau Empire).
Won! has been received in Juneau
that young men residents of Alaska,
who wish to become trainc 1 aviators,
may now have the opportunity to do
so under the provisions of the recent
act of congress which sets aside $1M,
281,I6(i for aerial defense. It is the
plan to form trained aero squadrons
among the men of the 12 militia sec
tions, and to furnish training to any
member of the national guard from
those sections who desires and who
can pass the necessary physical ex
aminations.
The word was received today in a
letter from the president of the Aero
club of America and one application
has already been received from Alas
ka. Crit ('. Tolman, of Seward, who
was in Juneau last winter and who is
v ill known in all the coast towns of
Alaska, has filed hi.- application for a
(course of training.
Congress made appropriations for
the organizing o ftwelve aero squad
! ions for the twelve miiilia divisions,
the sum of $800,000 being allowed
for each squadron. The War depart- J
I meat is anxious to assist the militia
in every way possible, and Lieut.
Colonel George O. Squier, command
ing officer of the Aeronautic section
of the army, in co-ordinating all the
resources at his disposal to facilitate
the training of the hundreds of na
tional guardsmen from different
states who are anxious to learn to
fly.
To get aviation training at the
army aviation schools, the guards
men must apply to the Department
of Militia Affairs at Washington,
through their adjutant generals, who
will send the applications to the De
partment of Militia Affairs with their
endorsement. The department will
then give prompt consideration to
the application, and, if the candidate
passed the physical examination pre
scribed by the army aviation service,
the candidates will be sent to one of
the army aviation schools. Aviation
mechanics and assistants will make
application in the same way, and will
be sent to aeroplane factories to get
experience with aeroplanes and mo
j tors. After the national guardsmen
-have learned to fly, they can go back
to their states and form aero com
panies and get the aeroplanes and
equipment from the War department.
The Friendly Aid Society.
There wil be a very important spe
cial business meeting of the members!
I of the Friendly Aid society and all the I
I ladies of the Presbyterian congrega-1
! tion tomorrow, Wednesday, afternoon, |
at 2:30 in the church parlors. A full
attendance is much desired.
Iluck Hoyt, of Gulkana, on the Val-I
dez-Fairbanks trail, recently purchas
ed a (Chevrolet automobile, and will
use it in passenger service and for
pleasure.
