RAILROAD RATES NEEDED
TO OPEN UP COAL LANDS.
Alaska has the coal.
It will soon have a railroad to the
coal.
Congress has passed a leasing law*
for development of «oal mines.
Consumers need the .ooal.
But most likely Alaskans will have
to buy British Columbia coal for sev
eral years yet. Mr. Albert Johnson,
congressman from Washington, who
has recently returned from a trip to
the westward, says that the members
of the engineering commission have
no authority to make any rates.
Naturally those taking leases for
coal before they spend a few thousand
or few million dollars opening it up
“•“*1 vuiojumi 40, lJiU,
want to know what it will cost them
to get It hauled to tide water. They
must expect to compete with British
Columbia coal and California oil, and
transportation is one of the main es
sentials of cost.
Since the engineers have powers
only to build railroads and not make
rates, it will bo necessary to get
through legislation from congress be
fore any guarantee of rates can be
assured coal or other shippers.—Ex.

There Is as much difference in Ranges as there is in horses. All
Ranges have flues, ovens, ash pan s, etc. You can’t judge a Range
from a printed description any more than you can judge a horse that
way. You have to see them to un derstand why one is cheap at the
price, and another is dear at any price. See the MAJESTIC display
