writing in the agonies OF death. He
grabbed the weapon and blew out his
own brains.

Our Coal is King.

The government IS just becoming
convinced OF the fact that thousands
OF dollars may be saved every year by
shipment Of army supplies to our for
esn dependencies from Puget Sound
instead OF Oregon or California ports.
Besides the saving in distance Of direct
line o: communication between the
base OF supply and our colonies. must
Toe added about 900 miles from IT,.
mines on the Sound to san Francisco.
This adds one-half to the cost price Of
coal-thc relative value being 81. 80 at
the cOal-dump on the Sound and 81 at
the Golden Gate. This is saving of
5000 on each cargo of 81 900 tons.
The bids submitted last week for a
temporary coal supply for the Philip
pines, by request OF Maj. Ruhling,
from Black Diamond, Roslyn, Frank
lin and South Prairie, averaged $3.50
per ton, and the best that could be
done by our southern competitors for
the same grade of product were figures
ranging from Sc to IS.
The Tacoma Ners bemoans the fact
that so many ships lose their anchors
in the briny deep fronting that little
city. The German ship Flottbek has
been detained three months in the har-
Dor from loss Of both anchors, and she
is not the only ship that has met with
like misfortune. The fact is, the skip.
pers seem to think that Tacomt harbor
like all others they have visited, has a
bottom somewhere. They do not
know that ships have sunk in that de-
lectable hole so deep that they have
been absolutely beyond recovery.
They are ignorant of the fact that one
night the good ship Andelana took a
plunge in Commencement Bay and
that ship and crew have ever since
been as completely lost as if the earth
had opened and swallowed them up.
So they cast anchor with a run, as
they do elsewhere, and when the chain
is all "payed out" something has to
break from the sudden jerk of the ire
mendous weight upon the cable. The
occasional loss OF an anchor or two, is,
however, a minor misfortune to ship,
and a blessing to Tacoma, if, as in the
case OF the Flottbek, it leads to de-
tention of several months, while an
chors are shipped, apparently round
the Horn, all the way from Boston.
