12 TOTS iJIOirXTKO OKEGOXIAN, MONDAY, JULY 29, 1907. Sfi LME SHOULD REFORM Rev. Clarence True Wilson De nounces City Officials Who Violate Oath of Office. HENEY IS NEEDED HERE Speaker Declares Conditions Would Be Found More Appalling Than In San Francisco If an . In vestigation Were Made. "My purpose tonight Is to show that It makes all the difference in the world to you and to me, to our Sunday school and to our public school, to our church and social life what kind of environment we have. My text tonight will be found in "Ps. xii:8, "The wicked walk on every hand when the vilest men are exalted.' "In the Sunday school lesson this morn ing we had a very interesting topic, the setting up of the golden calf by the Chil dren of Israel in the wilderness. The last text of the lesson is striking, 'And the Lord plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made." This is one way of saying that the Nation is responsible for its own sins. The na tion which chooses the rulers is respon sible for the actions of the rulers. There Is not an act of the Legislature, or of the City Council which in any way shames the cause of righteousness and which brings the blush to the faces of decent citizens but that in a sense comes back upon the people. "But it is not ours to denounce our rulers except as we take upon ourselves the responsibility of citizenship and do what we can to make wrong things right, and to correct the crying evils of our day. In speaking on the subject "What a Closed Town Means." last night at the Grace Methodist Church, Rev. Clarence True Wilson took occasion to flay the City Countl for recent statements that some of its members favored an open town, and said that he believed the present City Council should be purged from evil minded members, and that 1b Heney should come to Portland and make an in vestigation, he would And conditions more appalling than any that have yet been brought to light in San Francisco; He said that it is the duty of all Christians, as loyal citizens, to see to it that therof . flcials in office are the right kind of men, and that they remain true to their oath of office. In part, he said: Influence of Environment. "Because of education ana personal rlghteousnes and civic decency we must go up and down together. No one has ever measured the extent to which we are Influenced by environment. A man came to Portland some time ago from a city where it was not the custom of the church-going- people to read the Sunday newspapers, or to ride on the Sunday car, but he soon found that they did things differently In Portland, and now within a year it is his habit to read the Sunday paper. We are In a society that is a network of relation ship, in which each touches the other. "It makes all the differences in the world what the laws of the state and city may be, how well they are en forced, and what the law educates the the young people up to and down to. You will realize this when you see a town as I have seen It, where the Mayor is a man of profanity and a libertine, his council to match, and where the scenes of the council chamber are too vile to permit of women being present, or of men either If they want to be gentlemen. When you find the theaters of the town wide-open, the " saloons wide-open, the places of shame with their lights brightly burning through the hours of Sunday night when you see these things I say they are not matters for the Christians to pass by. "A man cannot be a Christian with out doing his utmost to change sueh conditions. We find our Ideals In the people who hold office, and to whom we look for guidance. We cannot have a Legislature and a city council with out having some of the young people look up to them. Everyone has heroes, and every man has his influ ence. If you allow such a condition to exist you cause a process of degen eration to set in In the minds of every boy and girl in the public schools and they cannot be talked out of this frame of mind with a sermon a half hour long once a week, when they have the downward Influence every hour in the day. seven days in the week. "Under this condition of affairs, when you try to teach a boy that he should lead a pure life, that he rtiould not go with associates who may contaminate him, you seem to him like an ideal dream er. He knows that all the people with whom he has associated did not do any of these things. An open, town and loose morals in the lives of many men In our public life can never be overestimated. Further Reform Predicted. "I have seen the same town just de scribed absolutely transformed. I have seen conditions changed so the Mayor was a clean man clean in his purpose in office, clean in his ideals, clean in every act of his administration. I have seen the men associated with him going about the streets seeking out evil so they might put a stop to it, and helping the cause of righteousness. I have seen them leav ing their bad associates and habits. I have seen public sentiment change until any man who Is elected to office must be bent on doing things right bent on mak ing things better. I have seen this town close up Its saloons on Simday after people in the church had said it could not be done. I have seen the nickel-in-the-lot machines banished, the places of shame moved out of the business section, and other things coming just as rapidly. It will only be a short time until all the Sunday theaters in this town will be closed. In a short time it will be looked upon as a place where men can come and rear their children without fear of their moral sense being lowered. "This moral reform has penetrated the Legislature and made it a body of Justice. It has looked up the men who have betrayed the public truBt In office and has rewarded them according to their deeds,, and more of them are to follow. "It has only been a week or two since members of the City Council, elected by the people, set themselves up In defiance of the state law and of the closing of the saloons on Sunday. The reform movement has not yet touched the City Council. It Is going finally to reach that reeking nest of corrup tion which we call ouf City Council, which. If Heney should come to Port land, would give him as much of a handful as he had In San Francisco. "When men set themselves up against laws which, only a few weeks before, they had sworn to enforce and uphold in the letter and spirit, they do so in violation of their oath of i office. The people are taking notice. and the next reform In Portland Is to bring to justice these men who thus violated their oath. Sunday-closing is here to stay. The ministers are arous ing the people and telling them they cannot be Christians and profess one thing at prayer-meeting and vote an other thing on election day. May God speed the day when every man who names the name (of Christ and enrolls himself with the church militant shall be an enemy of that In the city, state or Nation which degrades manhood, dethrones womanhood and destroys lit tle children., "We can serve God as well when we are trying to do any of these acts of civic righteousness as when we are reading our Bibles In our homes or . are on our knees." MER E RELIGION CREED OF PRIMITIVE MAX Life of Cavo Men Contrasted "With That of Present Day. "The Creed of the Cave Man" was the subject of Rev. E. M. Hill's talk at the men's meeting in the Y. M. C. A. Han" yesterday afternoon. He said in part: The cave-man, the man of an early epoch, ponsfbly of the glacial period, was not a gentleman as we would consider him in our lofty century. He went after what he wanted without fear or favor, and got It, If he was strong enough. His good right arm was the chief Instrument and his will was the law of his life. He was a law unto himself. As a strong physical man, and we must believe that, like the animals with whom he fought, he must have been of fine physique, he could accomplish many things. With this kind of a constitution, his appetites were healthy and strong. The fires of the natuial passions burned fiercely and they had full sway. And the passions became stronger because he rmist fight to satisfy them. All this being so, we see the cave-man at constant warfare, with every man's hand against him and his hand against every man. He might form a com bination to force another combination of cave-dwellers to give him what he wanted, as animals sometimes form combinations, as dogs to hunt rabbits. But it was a com bination to satisfy a personal passion or appetite. Now we read a great deal about the ad vancement of the race, the evolution of so ciety. And It is a fact that from the age of the cave-man to now there has been great progress. He had to kill his meat for dinner with rude arrows. "We can bring it down at a thousand yards with a swift bullet. He had no houses worth speaking of, tut dwelt In a cold and cheer less . cave, with no comforts of heating apparatus or sleeping furniture or cloth ing, or anything. He had nothing that could give him pleasure but the satisfaction of his appetites, his primitive passions. On the contrary, man nowadays has creature comforts without limit. The present civil ization Is so full of these things that the manly Instincts of the race are In danger of being lost because the body is receiving too much pitting. TIS IN PALO USE COUNTRY GARNERING WHEAT CROPi . Yield Is LaTge and Labor Is Plenty, AVlth Good Wages and Good Class of Workers. GARFIELD, Wash.. July 28. (Special.) This has been a week of great activity in the harvest fields of the Palouse coun try and thousands of acres of golden grain have been cut and shocked since Monday morning. Men are very plentiful and excellent wages are being paid rang ing from 12.50 to to a day. The men com ing In for work are above the average, and present a splendid appearance. The hobo Is rarely seen, only men who are ready and willing to work are coming, and this pleases the farmer. By August 6 the threshing machines will be ready to start, and many of them are now preparing for the task before 4iem. Crisp Brothers, formerly of Ore gon, are here with three big machines and will begin operations . by August 5. They have their men engaged and every thing ready to start by the time the wheat will thresh easily. Edward Byrne, Mr. Kriebel. Crabtree & Duncan, Mr. Curtis, and many others are getting their men together and have everything in readiness to begin work at an early date. The weather is cooland delightful for the harvest hands to work and they are all enjoying it. In many parts of the great wheat belt of the Palouse the farmers will not stop on account of Sunday, but will contine to cut and bind and shock the grain. But at Garfield the farmers will observe the rest day, claiming that by so doing hey can get more work done when the hands start in on Monday morning. GRANGE WANTS PARCELS POST Washington County Pomona Grange Adopts Resolutions. TUALATIN, Or., July 28. (Special.) A meeting of Washington County Po mona Grange was held at Tualatin on July 24, last. Although this is a very busy time for the farmers, the attend ance was good, even if a majority of those present were ladles. Mrs. Clara H. Waldo, lecturer of the State Grange, gave a most excellent address, which added much to make the meeting both profitable and pleasant to all who were In attendance. Two resolutions were introduced and adopted, as follows: Whereas. The National Grange, the State Grange and many subordinate granges, as well aa the people at large, have demanded the enactment of a parcels post law, and Whereai, Thoss who are our Representa tives in Congress have so far taken no ac tion to grant this Jurt demand of the people for relief from the extortions of the differ ent express companies; therefore, be It Resolved, That the only way to obtain this much-needed relief is to demand from every man who may become a candidate for Congressman or United States Senator, ir respective of party, a positive pledge that he will, if elected to this responsible office. work for and vote for the enactment of a paroeU post law. Whereas, Under our present mode of as sessment and taxation much valuable prop erty la either not taxed at all or does not pay Its proper and Just share of - taxes therefore, be it Resolved, That "Washington County Po mona Grange Indorses the action of the State Grange In appointing a committee of five to investigate our assessment and taxation laws and to create a public sentiment de manding that County Assessors use their full powers to assess all private and corpo rate wealth at a Just and unflorm rate. And be It further Resolved, That. In this connection, we es peclally commend the action of the Wash lngton County Assessor In assessing the val uable timber lands of the county, which have heretofore borne but a small share of the tax burden, thereby adding a large amount (about $4,000,000) to the taxable property of this county.

ALL BELOVED OF SATAN them week days. In a short time the hops will be ripe and thousands of religious peo ple will go Into the fields and pick hops for the devil. Religion doesn't Interfere with a man's habits. He may be a devout mem ber of the church and yet he may drink, chew., attend theater, keep liquor in his house, he may gamble, that don't Interfere with his religion in the least. Friends, religion won't help a man, noth ing short of salvation will do that. A re ligious man la nothing more than an en lightened heathen until the Holy Ghost brings salvation to him and civilizes him. For more than an hour Mr. Boss talked along these lines. Sometimes he had his congregation in tears and the next in stant in laughter. He was frequently on his knees, and never for a minute did he remain standing In one spot. At certain points- he would single out some one of the preachers on the platform and pour his words out to him, standing within a few Inches from him. There was no mincing of words. Plain terms were used In speaking of the different religions. But the evangelist's views evidently were endorsed by the ministers present, for there was a constant fire of "aniens" from them. Preacher Declares That a Man Who Is Religious Only Is but an Enlightened Heathen De " nounces Tongues of Fire. The Sunnyside Methodist Church, was filled to its utmost capacity yesterday morning by an audience that listened with almost breathless attention to the sermon of Evangelist E. N. Ross. It was in some respects one of the most effective, Etartling and sensational sermons ever preached from a Portland pulpit. The platform was occupied by ministers who had come to hear him, and there were many ministers In the audience. Mr. Ross had something to say and said It from the shoulder. He denounced In the most sweeping and comprehensive manner pos sible all religions, declared that satan was the most religious being in exist ence, and that hell had been enlarged for the accommodation of religious people. In scathing terms the evangelist de nounced the Tongues of Fire cult. All secret societies also were denounced as standing in the way of salvation, though Mr. Ross said he did not rail at the secret societies themselves, he undertook to demonstrate that they "are not the way of salvation." Dr. Ford, the pastor, invited all mem bers of the Sunday school to remain and hear Mr. Ross, saying that if they did not get their money's worth he would pay them for lost time. The scholars all re mained and at the conclusion of the sermon none applied to Dr. Ford for 'money back." Dr. Ford said In speaking of the preachers on the platform that none of them were adherents of the Tongues of Fire cult; if there were any of its adherents in the room he would Invite them to leave. Mr. Ross spoke from Acts xvil:22, "And Paul stood in the midBt of Mars Hill and said, 'Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstituous.' " Mr. Ross said that there were three kinds of travelers the commercial traveler, the tourist and the man who travels for his health because he must. Paul, he said. belonged to the last-named class. He had to move to keep out of the way of those who were after him, and he can to Athens, which was a very religious place, so religious that the people had set up altars to all kinds of gods and finally when the supply ran short set up an altar to the "unknown god." Takes Text From Paul. Paul had been summoned to Mars Hill because he had been spreading a strange doctrine, different from what the Athen ians had been accustomed to hear about. Mr. Ross said in part: The minute all these wise men were col lected on Mars Hill and started to Question Paul, he knocked them all out in the first round of that encounter. Ho gave them a solar plexus blow when he declared: "I perceive that you are too religious." They had plenty of religion. It fairly stewed out of the Athenians, but they had no salva tion, and that Paul had. They had erectea altars to all sorts of gods and all kinds of religions, but were destitute of salvation. They were very religious. Just as are the people of Los Angeles and Portland, where they are long on religion but very short on salvation. Los Angeles has a great deal of religion. Ban Francisco was the -most religious place on earth, but It became so corrupt that God Almighty destroyed it. It had no salvation. The trouble is that people confound re ligion with salvation, when there Is no con nection between them at all. The Bible condemns religion and speaka only for' sal vation. It uses the word religion only about seven times, but speaks of salvation more than 150 times. I was at The Dalles a few days ago and heard a man preach. He pulled a wad of paper out of his pocket as he would draw a pistol, and spent 20 minutes reading it. He thought it very fine. He used the word religion more times than it Is men tioned in the Bible, and said nothing about salvation. Why Hell has been enlarged to accommodate the religious people who find quarters there. It is crowded with religious people like the theaters and hotels. of Port land. Why. all the men and women who have gone to Hell were very religious! They were long on religion, but very short on salvation. Friends, there is a vast difference be tween religion and salvation. Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians and Catholics who have mere religion and no salvation go to Hell. The devil doee not oppose religion. He Is a very religious person himself. Why, If I was a very religious mam I would be wined and dined until I would be In dan ger of the gout. I have something differ ent from religion I have salvation, and that is what every man and woman must have who Is saved. Religion never saved any man. They say: "Ross, you are a very re ligious man." Not a bit of It. There la not a drop of religion in me, thank God. Why, if the only thing that could be said about Dr. Ford here, is that be was a very religious man, then may God have mercy on him. Is a Potpourri of Religions. And then there are Tongues of Fire peo ple. They took a huge pot and filled It with a little of everything Mormonism. Christian Science, fanaticism, hypnotism, vice and a little of all religions and then ground it all up together and It came out the Tongues of Fire. Hre In Portland a one-eyed negro is their leader, and. my friends, white men and Women attend his meetings and are led by him. I am not railing at the secret societies, which somebody may proclaim after hearing me today. Masons, Odd Fellows, Red Men say the orders are their religion and good enough. All right. They don't know any better, but there is no salvation In these orders. Men pay $100 a year - to support the secret orders and $5 toward the church of Jesus Christ. I am not attacking secret societies. They represent the religion of the members, but not their salvation, any more than does the religion of the worshippers of idols. I called on a man who said he was a Red Man. He was rolling a cigarette and curs ing. He said that the Red Men's order was good enough religion for him. Friends, the natural desire of the human race Is for re ligion, but not salvation. Men are willing to be called religious, but not Salvationists. Ten thousand preachers are saying they are sinningj They have religion, but not salva tion. Who ever heard of a sober drunkard, an honest thief or a truthful liar? No, a thief is a thief and a liar Is a liar. There are plenty of religious people. There are Just scores of them in this city, but whets you come to look for people who have salvation you find It a hard Job. Tou have to rake them over with a fine-toothed comb to pick up the people who have sal vation. The Catholics have a good religion. They have the best of the Methodists and Bap tists. They get up In the morning at 4 and 5 o'clock to go to mass, but nobody ever heard of a Methodist or a' Baptist or a Presbyterian getting up that early In the morning for his religion- No, the Catholic is more patriotio than the Protes tant, even If he leaves the confessional in4 gets drunk. There are thousands who are . xeiiMious , OB Sunday, but U ooze auX -ok, FAREWELL TO AXAEEL FLOCK Rev. George W. Arms Leaves Church on East Side. , Rev. George W. Arms, Jr., pastor of the Anabel Presbyterian Church, preached at both the morning and evening services yesterday, which was his last Sabbath before leaving on hia vacation for one month. The church will not close, but will be supplied during August. Mr. and Mrs. Arms arrived about one year ago from the East to take charge of the church. During this time the Anabel congregation has grown over four-fold. At the morning service Rev. Arms spoke from John xv:4, and he said In part: I want to leave with you Just three words, not only for this morning and today, but for always. These are the words of Our Master when He gives His final In structions to his disciples, saying, "Abide in Me." Those eleven men were to go forth and to accomplish what would seem to be an impossible task. They were to establish the gospel of this lowly Nazerene for all eternity, for length, and around the globe, for breadth; and He about to be crucified. These words have clustered about them selves the sweet fragrance of many a hum ble hidden life In Christ. But their purpose was not only to be a balm to su;h lives as these. 'They were spoken to men who were to live a most hardy and cosmo politan life. Indeed, they were to lay the foundations of this eternal , kingdom of Christ. What a most practical value they then have for the most practical and stren uous lives The characteristic of the king, dom is life, and that life is fruit bearing. This Is Christ's Idea of every church and every individual, that they bear fruit, and by their fruits ye shall know, and thos who do not bear fruit are cast forth aa a withered branch. He now unfolds to His disciples the secret of fruit bearing. It lg only as they abide in Htm will they have life, which la not their life, but his life, the very principle and sap of the Kingdom. THE WISH J0KILL GAME Real Sportsmen Are Rare In This Generation. Lippincott's. This word Is on every tongue from the time the big-game season opens In the Far West until It closes, two months later. Every man's hand seems to be against the wild things of the mountains the harmless wild things which lend to the forest half Its charm. If It were the aim of the people to exterminate the deer, elk, and mountain sheep, they could not kill with more avidity. The question of skill does not enter Into It. If an elk Is close enough to singe his hair with the powder, no matter, kill him! If the packhorses are already loaded to the limit, If not a pound of the meat Is to be touched. If the head is worthless as a trophy and the horns valueless, no matter, kill Just the same. The law permits each person his two elk, so take the limit! If an animal is crippled, do not both er to trail him let him go; the wolves will pull him down eventually, or he will fall and starve that elk with the shattered shoulder or the deer with the dragging hind leg. And that band of mountain sheep! Get them on a ledge or in a cul-de-sac and shoot them down, ewes and lambs alike. Exter minate them! The law allows you a sheep each, and there are half a dozen in your party. The Game Wardens are not difficult to dodge, and if you do not get these sheep, some other fellow will. What difference to you if. when the shooting season is closed, the mountains are strewn with the car casses of elk from which only the heads or horns have been taken, while hundreds of pounds of meat decay on the side hills, and the line of elk that treks to the south of Jackson's Hole is shorter than It was last year, and far, far shorter than it was the year before? What does It matter to you if a comparatively few years hence the' elk tracks and the print of the deer's pointed hoof are gone forever, If the forests are depleted and silent and a pair of antlers has become a curiosity? You have had your sport. And this Is the way in which nine tenths of the people reason who hunt In the big-game season. The real sportsman is not a menace to the game: he la Its best friend, its protector. He is as Jealous of it as though it were his own property, and he has a clearly-defined code of honor In regard to the killing of It. But real sportsmen are rare in, the big-game country. SAVE YOUR OLD TINFOIL Some Workmen Did and Made Money Enough to Buy a Library. Chicago Tribune. Save and sell your tinfoil. The recent rise in the price of tin has led to a curi ous development in this and other coun tries. Several of the best known chocolate manufacturers on the Continent have Is sued the following notice: "Do not throw away the tinfoil in which the chocolate is enveloped. It Is composed of pure metal which Is dear. Keep it and before long it will be called for by our agents, who will pay for it at its market value The chocolate industry in Europe spends nearly H.000,000 per annum In tinfoil and these J4.000.000 are generally thrown to the winds. It is further explained that the present high prllce of tin Is due to the action of English and Dutch speculators who hava forced It far beyond its actual value. What seems to give some color to the alleged preciousness of the paper wrapped around the chocolate is the story told by a socialist Journal of Hamburg to the effect that a group of workmen were able to procure a part of their common library by collecting and selling these lugitive sheets of tlnfoill. NEW DEPOT AT ALBANY Speculation Rife as to Where It Will Be Located. ALBANY. Or.. July 28. (Special.) The probable location of the new Southern Pa cific depot in this city Is causing con siderable speculation. That it will be a Union Depot for the Southern Pacific and Corvallis & Eastern is now conceded by railroad authorities. This fact leads to the belief that the depot will be con structed at the junction of the road. .This is several blocks east ot JJie jjreaen); denpt ATTENTI ON To the Stockholders of the Anglo-American Oil and Coal Company The following letter was recently received by' George H. Hill, secretary and treasurer of the Anglo-American Oil & Coal Company, from Captain E. J. Rath bone, field superintendent of the company, dated "In Camp near Katalla, Alaska, July 9, 1907": "Dear Sir: The drill commenced dropping on July 2d, and we will soon have a hole to report. A strong oil seepage or spring empties into the lake right in front of our cabin; it can be seen only at extreme low tide (two or three times a year). We feel confident of success, but the drill alone can tell the final tale. "Have two coal camps established and am getting down to business as fast as pos sible; I want to get in shape to drift (drive some tunnels) on the coal during next Winter, and get this well down and get moved to another site by last of October, so we can sink another well during the Winter. I am figuring on remaining all Winter myself to look after the work. Surface work in the Summer, and underground work in the Winter is my plan. "The railway people have had quite a battle, chiefly with clubs, but a little shoot ing, too. One man shot to death, another's arm shot off, a dozen arms and legs broken and' eight skulls cracked with pick handles. Think the worst is over. The railroads' progress is not very speedy, but both insist they will reach the lake at least before Fall; they receive 100 to 150 men every week, and while some leave, the force is in creasing quite rapidly. The Guggenheims ' road has been delayed with their wharf by the scrap with the other road, they were trying to reach a stone quarry with which to fill their trestle as they proceeded. "They have three locomotives, some cars, and a little track laid, right of way slashed for 12 miles, and a good deal of earthwork and a small amount of rbadwork done. "No wharf facilities is a great burden to them. It costs $5.00 a ton measurement to pay lighterage from ship to 6hore, and all local freighting is expensive this year, much greater than last year. Our freight bills will amount to about $750.00 for our first shipment this season (that which I brought up). "Men who do rough work get about $90.00 a month and board as an average. "Katalla needs a decent blacksmith shop and machine shop bad. "Mr. McDonald has opened a coalminers' store and is putting up a sawmill across the lake, a mile and a half from our well and headquarters. ' "We are all 0. making progress. "Sincerely yours, E. J. EATHBONE." t Nine oil wells are on land adjoining this company's holdings, and in addi tion to the coal end of our enterprise, A COMPLETE OIL DRILLING OUTFIT IS NOW AT WORK, under the personal supervision of Mr. Cluny, an oil-drilling expert from Pennsylvania , who has "made good" both in Pennsylvania and California, in producing oil and who says, "there is no question but that I will produce oil for the Anglo-American Oil & Coal Company." The holdings of this company embrace twelve thousand six hundred acres, and we are develop ing this property as fast as possible. OVER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS HAVE ALREADY BEEN EXPENDED, and as much more will be spent in the near future. "SVe advise those persons who are alive to their own interests to immediately investigate this company and its holdings. At the present time, when our payroll amounts to several thousand dollars a month, besides other heavy expenditures, and an earnest desire on our part to vigorously push the work along, you can secure a holding in this company at TWENTY CENTS ON THE DOLLAR J It is a cheap buy. Nothing can stop the rapid advance in the price of this com pany s stock; it will soon be selling for more than double its present price, and when you have looked into the matter and made your own investigation you will agree with us. ' J The men who are at the head of this company are heavily interested. This is one of the few companies the success of which does not depend wholly on the sale of stock. We are going ahead as fast as possible, and our success is already assured. We now offer you an opportunity to become interested with us but you must act at once. ' The Anglo-American Oil & Coal Company will handle their own product and with shipping facilities now building as fast as men and money can do the work, it will not be long before the business offices of this company will be open from 8 m the morning till 6 in the evening to receive orders for a better grade' of coal than ever before produced on the Pacific Coast. The anthracite and semi-bituminous smokeless steaming coal found in Southeastern Alaska has no equal on the Pacific Coast, and its appearance in the market will revolutionize the coal business from Vancouver to San Diego ANGLO-AMERICAN OIL AID COAL CO.
