thla coal In tha trial trip of the bat
tleship Nebraska.
Tests that have already beea made by
privets Individuals and experts In the
employ of the geological department of
th government tndtoato that the eoal
will equal or surpass every other ooal
now la uaa for ateam vessels.
If exM naive naval teste bear out V
view It b predicted that the high grade
ooal Industry of America will be trans
ferred from peonaylvaala, Maryland and
West Virginia to southeastern Alaska
wit hla the next few yeara. for two rem
sons that tba Alaska eoal la of th
highest grade, and there are practically
movntalna of It, lying within II mils
of tidewater and easily mined, Port
land la directly asoeasibla to those re
gions aa a trading poiat. and the bulk
of the ' business to be developed from
the eoal mines and oil wells oould ba
secured by the ' merchants of this city
with the aid of a lino of steamships from
Portland ta Kayak, Tekutat Valdeg and
the Copper river.
"To the present date there has been
great scarcity of bituminous ooal fit for
naval ateam usee ta the United State,
often delaying the departure af ships fe
aa embarrassing extent,' aaya the latest
quarterly report on coaling atatlona.
Th demaad for eteem ooal for United
states navy uses has Increased from
7,0 tons In lift! to 44T.000 tona In
HO. The amount aed In ltoi waa an
InorcBS of 17 per cent over th figures
of lftQI. The naval department paid
laat3year as average price of M-TI a tea
for the eoal, ta port The best Welch
eoal f. a h. at Cardiff last year cost the
United Ptatea aavy aa average of It .M
a ton. and t thla waa added the cost
of transportation. Th government
bought la th United Btates last year
. tona of ooal for shipment to
naval atatlona at fereiga and domestic
ports, mostly to Its Astatic atatlona. Tha
coal waa carried la navy colliers and
obartered .vessels, at aa average freight
charge of 14 . 14 a tea.

A site la being secured at Dutch Har
bor for a large coaling station, and for

this point Is now directly in the line of

there la almost invariably something
wrong with the tone.
- B. W. CrMhtoa, who boa beea atcam

for their trouble. On varloua occasions

the day, but the animate paid no atten

shriek came from the Telephone they
Immediately began I bowl and aaake

Tteally the Telephone waa taken caT
