.SHIPMENT OF
COMOX COAL
IS PERMITTED
Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr„ of
Alaska has received a number of tele
grams while in Seattle relative to the
purported coal shortage, especially in
Southeastern Alaska towns. The im
pression appears to prevail that the
Canadian government has placed an
embargo against the shipment of Ca
nadian coals to Alaska, and on this
theory of the case Alaskans would
have good reason to feel alarmed over
the situation, especially with the com
ing of winter. But fortunately the
Canadian government has placed no
embargo on coal to Alaska ports.
Governor Riggs has been busy in
the matter, with good results. Asked
about the coal situation by the Dis
patch reporter, the governor said, in
effect:
"It is not possible now to secure
Nanaimo or Ladysmith coal for ship
ment to Alaska without first securing
permission from the government au
thorities at Ottawa. To this extent
there is an embargo in effect. But
this does not apply to Comox coal,
which may be shipped to Alaska with
out the government’s permission. The
i reason is that the Nanaimo and Lady
smith coals are high grade, and there
always is a big demand in Canada for
this product. The Canadians are nat
urally keeping the best for them
selves. The Comox coal, while a good
coal, is not to be compared with the
Nanaimo or Ladysmith coal, and there
is no opposition to shipment to Alaska
or elsewhere. Alaska towns will get
** coal; they may not get as good a qual
ity as heretofore, but there will be
no suffering from lack of fuel.”—

FAIRBANKS HAS KICK ON
RATES OF GOVERNMENT
Shippers from here to Nenana by
the new railroad are marveling at the
"differential” that is supposed to be
I •IinilHIUmiTTnirTTlirTnrTTTmmtrTunTnrTmimurmiifTmTTmtTiirTmnTiirmTrmirTmnnftmmmrTTuni
between Fairbanks and Nenana and
Nenana and Fairbanks.
Freight from here to Nenana pays
a rate of $24 a ton on a fifty-mile haul.
Freight from there (coal is their only
freightage commodity) has been rep
resented as about $2 per ton.
Shippers here have taken the mat
ter up with Engineer Browne, who
says the rate was made in haste at
Anchorage and is probably subject to
change. It ought to be, if it isn’t.—

in Indlanola. and in 185G an explosion
of chemicals burned away his eyelids,
although the sight was not affected.
Rut with unprotected eyes he con
tinued for nearly half a century, three
years of the period being spent In
Alaska, where the severity of the
climate caused cataracts to form on
both eyes, resulting In blindness, lie
went to Philadelphia, where he for
merly lived for a time, and was nt
the Hahnemann Hospital, and by
grafting flesh from his leg he got a
new set of eyelids.
The success of the operation Is
uow assured. The cataracts were re
moved and the sight has been re
stored.
