Rise in Coal Price.

Sioux City. Jan. 1.-THE shortage in
the soft coal supply has become seri-
Gus question with Sioux City dealers.
Notice was received yesterday morning
by some that Hooking valley coal had
advanced again, this time 80 cents, to a
quotation of 81. This advance becomes
significant in view of the fact that 1t
has been next to impossible to secure
soft coal ever since the severe cold snap
of December.
All the dealers did not receive notice
of the advance, which was explained by
one OF them by the fact that there are
two large companies supplying Hooking
valley coal. and 1t Is probable the ad-
vance was issued by one of them.
The soft coal quotation has advanced
from the summer price of $3.50 to the
quotation of today. The soft coal mar
ket is governed by the law of supply and
demand. The fact that there has been a
further advance indicates that the coal
companies expect a still further short
age. Already the situation is so deplora-
BILE that dealers said yesterday that II
there We're to be a severe cold snap of
any length they would be unable to sup
ply the demand.

be of no use to him after his removal.
A properly constructed box is good for
twenty years, and the accruing sum
mihgt be applied to more equitable
compensation for the rural carrier VINO
makes his twenty-four miles thru cold,
snow. sleet, mud or rain for S1.66 20
the profit and doesn't get 1t.
In the matter of the rural carrier the
compensation as at present fixed is too
low to support good citizens. HIS eA-
penses are heavy He must maintain two
and often three horses He should have
d specially constructed wagon A little
matter of easy arithmetic readily shows
where he is at. One of the most promi-
rent liverymen in Iowa told the writer
that at present prices of grain and hay
he was unable, buying in large quanti-
ties, to feed a horse under an expense of
50 monthly-if the horse were to work.
Shoeing will run from $120 to 81 per
month for each horse; a wagon is per-
shable affair and doesn't last long when
it is dragged across twenty-four miles
of Iowa highway daily-$2.50 monthly Is
a low estimate on the cost of the vehi-
Gle; the first cost of the horses and the
length of time an animal will endure
work on the road is hardly to be esti-
mated; however, the expense to the car
rier is thus more than half his salary.
This carrier pays rent on his house usu-
ally, he often has a numerous family;
how he can haul Uncle Sans mail and
stay alive is study for economists
but he does it. And he usually hauls 1t
out on time and back the same way. HIS
wages are too low. A man sufficiently
honest and industrious to secure en-
dorsement necessary to become a rural
carrier is worth, with team and wagon,
certainly as much as street scavenger
1t might prove good policy to cut 500 or
5000 off the postmasters mail box salary
ard slice off some other fellow with a
snap and carry the total to the credit OF
the rural carrier.
