It is more than probable that the government could recover the expense of opening the Matanuska coal fields before the close of the present war if it opened them at once. British ships and others that have been engaged in the work of hauling coal from various parts of the earth cannot travel now so freely. Thousand and thousands of men in European countries who had been engaged in digging coal are en gaged in war. American ships are free to enter any port la the world and could make markets for American coal as they are going to make mark ets for other American commodities. The great navies of the powers will use tremendous quantities of coal and the price is sure to go very high should the great war last a few months, and the chances are that it will last for years as neither of the nations engaged can quit without step ping out of the class of ruling powers. Before the coming of the winter the government could have the nation se cured from lack of coal if it only went to work. Is it possible to bring this fact home to the minds of the people of Washington??Seward Gateway. ? ^ ^ *+*****+**+*+*++ + * * CLASSIFIED ADV. ? + + *+?++++++?*??+??

GERMANY'S ECONOMIC , PROGRESS AND WEALTH Dr. Karl Heltferlch. director of the Deutsche Bank of Berlin, gives an ex haustive summary of Germany's econ omic progress and national wealth In a pamphlet Issued recently and trans lated luto English by tho Germanlstc Solclety of Amortca. He says: "Our economic development has en abled us and will contlnuo to enable us to raise huge sums needed to bring our defensive forces on land and water to such a point In numbers and equip ment us will permit us to confront any enemy without fear. The political re generation of Germany and tho re-es tabllshment of our military power, which has guaranteed us liberty and freedom, laid the foundation for the unfolding of our economic power. And conversely, the increase of our eco nomic power supports and strengthens our political and military position." Among the facts contained in Dr. Helfferlch's summary of Germany's economic condition and wealth Is the statement that the yearly birth-rate In Germany Is in excess of the death rate to the extent of 800,000 souls, end has been at this rate for many years. In the territory composing the Ger man empire there lived In the year 1810 only 26,000,000 people. In 1S71 when the empire was founded the population had risen to 41,000,000. It now numbers nearly 70,000,000. LEMONS GOING UP. "People will not bo so free with handing out lemons If the market con tinues as at present Indicated," said a leading Juneau merchant today.

FINDING OF WATCH POINTS TO SUICIDE ?1_ Discovery of a watch in Ellensburg which was identified by a brother as the timepiece which supposedly had been taken from Aimer J. Anderson during a scuffle with a highwayman on University Street Thursday morn ing, in which Anderson was fatally wounded, led local police today to de clare their belief that Anderson in stead of fighting with a robber had . committed suicide. The theory was predicted on the disclosure that the watch which An derson said the robber had taken was. pawned in Ellensburg by Anderson j himself August 6 for $10, on the day! Anderson left for Seattle. Aimer J. Anderson waB formerly a. mining man of Valdez, Alaska. Early L Thursday morning he was found in an j ? alley between Third and Fourth Ave- ] nues off University Street, seriously ? wounded. Soveral shots had been ! fired, one at close range to Anderson's \ body. Subsequently Anderson died as . a result of his wounds. Before his ' death ho told the police that he had been held up and had drawn his own pistol to fight oft the robber.?Seattle Times. Elberta peaches are the best for canning.
