NEWCASTLE, ALASKA
You have heard about carrying coal to Newcastle,
where they had more coal than they could burn. I hats
what they are doing to Alaska which, as a whole, seems
to be a gigantic Newcastle, with more coal than it can
burn or export. Nevertheless, coal still comes in from
Washington, Utah and British Columbia.
Over to the Westward they are paying $1.50 per
sack and even $1.75, which brings it up to more than
$30 a ton. That means a journey of more than 2,000
miles and much handling.
Right at our very door there lies millions of tons o±
the finest burning coal on earth. And as far as we can
learn, only one corporation to the Westward has taken
advantage of the fact and landed their own coal from
Alaska coal fields at something like $11 a ton.
With the exception of the canneries, the Westward
is not “coal minded.” Still, there is a large individual
consumption of coal, even at the exhorbitant price of
$1.50 a sack. The old line merchandising companies
still ship in the Outside coal and put in it their ware
houses, apparently unmindful of the fact the Alaska
Railroad has created special rates from the mines to
the Port of Seward and that better facilities.for hand
ling are now installed.
It was said, and apparently with some reason, that
a very low grade of Alaska coal was sent to the West
ward and it was so bad it got a black eye. The users
cussed the senders and turned back to Outside coal
even at a high cost. The resentment still continues.
That was unfortunate and sadly shortsighted on
the part of the coal senders. They gave themselves
a poor reputation thru the Westward which will take
sometime to live down.
However, we understand that Colonel Otto F. Ohl
son, general manager of the Alaska R; ilroad, has
pledged the service of his system to cheaper i at 5 and
better handling of coal to tie end that reel c an be
had at Seward docks better the - can be had from the
Outside. It is now up to Wes «rd users of coal to con
sider the Seward marker rather than Seattle. They
can get a better coal at a lov e) price and meanwhile
help in the development of the Territory.

BUSINESS IN WILI
Ever since Cal M. Brosius, j
Seward lumber and building ma- I
terial dealer, returned from the ]
states—a few months ago—he
has been talking airplanes. He
hopped about so much on the
Outside, via planes, that over
night, so to speak, he became
airminded.
It is now learned that he will
purchase a plane this winter !
and begin using it in the spring.
Though he did not say so it is
h'-' is nurchasing the plane |
?^cre for his personal use than t
for commercial purposes.

with the hope of arriving here
before the Russian plane “Land

CAMBRIDGE, Sept., 27, (JP)
—Allen Hoover, son of President
Hoover, refused to speak for the
‘talkies” when he arrived here to
| enroll in the Harvard School of
Business Administration. Inquiries
revealed that his father had talked
! to him a few minutes previously
and advised him not to record any
set opinion for the talking motion
picture.

It is reported that George Sex
ton, who has been conducting ;
‘ the Sexton Hotel for many years, J
! is relinquishing his lease the
first of the month.

ENGINE ON THE JOB
A donkey engine was moved
over yesterday to the airplane
landing field, now under course
of construction by Contractors
Romak & McKanna, for the pur
pose of snaking out the stumps.
The engine belongs to the railroad
and will expediate the work
; to a great extent. Several large
trees—tall ones— have been left
standing and to these high lines
will be rigged.
