California juw TTnable to Accommodate AH Woo Apply Passenger Agent Bcttorac The Southern Pacific Is not to cur- tall its advertising on account of the war. John M. Scott, passenger agent for the line, has returned from the meet ing of passenger agents and advertis ing men of the line at Del Monte witn that announcement. "It would be folly to curtail expense when business Is good," declared Mr. Scott. "The travel to the coast cities is heavier this year than ever before, not only In California, but also in Oregon. People are not taking the long trips they did before the war. but are taking many short ones instead. f'The big tourist hotels In Del Monte and other summer resorts, and even of San Francisco, are turning guests away, unable to accommodate more. "While In the south I visited the Palo Alto site where the Oregon Na tional Guard Is to be quartered. It la big park with lots of shade trees and plenty of room for drilling. It should make an Ideal spot." FEW LEASES MADE IN MATANUSKA FIELD, IS BIDS SPRUCE FOR AIRPLANES ACCEPTED BY DEENSE COUNCIL II Oregon Mills Will Be Paid on Basis of $105 Per Thou sand for Their Output. BIG ORDERS TO BE PLACED Detailed pacifications Prepared by lumbermen Meet with Approval of the Government. WORD FROM M'NARY Information Regarding Alaska Coal Fields Is Sent to the Chamber of Commerce, Only two leases have been made In the Matanuska coal field under the existing regulations, according to a letter received at the Chamber of Commerce from Senator McNary. giv ing general Information in regard to the Alaska coal fields. The Informa tion was secured from Franmin it. Lane, secretary of the interior. Eight applications have Men re ceived, however. Two others have been received for the Bering river field. The Nenana field is not yet ready for operations. The Information says tnat lace or development prior to the passage of the leasing act, October Z0, 1914, is due to the withdrawing of the lands as a result of the controversy over the status of the lands. That the railroad will be completed to Matanuska by September 1 of this year Is the belief expressed. No ar rangements have been made by the government for the transportation of coal from Seward to Pacific coast ports. There is no present intention of the government to mine coal and sell it in the open market on Puget sound and at Portland, as this will be left up to pri vate capital so long as the same meets the necessities of the time. That legislation is necessary to per mit the development of the Alaska oil lands Is a suggestion made.
