LOS ANGELES
WANTS FUEL
’ FROM ALASKA
R. F. McClellan of Los Angeles, ac
companied by his son, has been in the
city for several days past, and left on
the Alaska for his home.
Mr. McClellan is one of the locators
of the famous Bonanza mine, and for
some years was in charge of the de
velopment work there, prior to and
during the time of the construction of
the railway. He and his son have
been on a hunting trip in the Chisana
country.
Mr. McClelland, who is a member of
the board of supervisors of Los An
geles county, and actively interested
in the Chamber of Commerce of that
city, is making a study of conditions
in connection with the prospective
opening up of the Bering River coal
fields. He states that the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce is keep
ing in clo$e touch with developments
and desires to enter into close affili
ation with the Cordova Chamber of
Commerce for mutual benefit.
As Mr. McClellan puts it, “Los An
geles needs your coal and you need
the products of Southern California.”
It is his idea that when the coal fields

Angeles capital may be induced to put
on a line of ships between that port
and Alaska direct. While this may
seem somewhat chimerical, it is not
so ill reality, he says, because of the
high cost of fuel in Los Angeles and
the handicap under which she is suf
fering in competition with other coast
cities. Seattle has coal almost within
the city limits, he says, and Portland
also has coal within easy reach. Even
Gan Francisco has a great advantage
in the matter of fuel costs. Coal is
being sold in Los Angeles, says Mr.
McClellan, for $15.50 per ton, which
is sufficiently high to discourage the
prospective manufacturer intending to
locate in the Southern California me
tropolis.
With a direct line of steamships
from Los Angeles to Cordova, he says,
fuel of a higher grade should be laid
down at Los Angeles at a lower cost,
and California products would be
cheapened in price to Alaskans.
It is likely that when he returns to
Los Angeles and reports the local
Chamber of Commerce may hear some
thing definite as to the plans and pro
posals of the Californians.

BERLIN, Aug. 29 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—Photographs
of Premier Ebert and Minister of De
fense Noske, clad in abbreviated
bathing suits, have been among the
best sellers in this city and Weimar.

SWEDISH CAPITAL IS
EXPENSIVE PLACE TO LIVE
LONDON, Aug. 20 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—Travelers ar
riving here from Stockholm, after
visiting some of the other capitals,
are firm in their conviction that it is
the most expensive city in Europe.
The staple coin is a krona, just
over 25 cents, and it costs 32 krona
for bed, breakfast and bath in a hotel.
The simplest meals cost $5, and wine
is prohibitive at about $200 a bottle
for the w'orst war champagne. A
taxicab for an hour costs $7.50, and ■
five krona is the customary tip for a
meal, while one is expected to give a
krona to the man who happens to be
handy and insists on opening the door
you would open yourself.
“I have been in many places these
past five years,” said a recently re
turned traveler, “Moscow and Bag
dad, Bombay and Saloniki, Cairo and
Rome, Paris and Petrograd, London
and Monte Carlo. Stockholm was
the dearest.
“They put it all down to the close
proximity of Bolshevism. One does
nothing for oneself in Sweden.”
On account of important business
I shall be compelled to be absent from
Cordova for about twenty days. I
shall sail on the Watson on the 28th
of September and return to Cordova
about October 15.

)n the market. It shows the Repub- <
lican leaders standing side by side
in a foot of water, Ebert’s familiar
?mbonpoint affording striking con
trast to Noske’s rugged square
shouldered physique. The pose, the
facial expression and the garb all re
veal democratic simplicity.
The photograph with which Wei
mar was swamped during the time
Ebert took the oath of office, prompt
ed the conservative papers to accuse
Ebert and Noske of personal propa
ganda. The Boersenzeitung assumes
that the unpleasant episode will teach
both men to be less accommodating
when next they are pressed by pro
fessional photographers for their pic
tures.
