COAL SHORTAGE IS VERY
 SERIOUS MATTER ...
Demand For Fuel Exceeds Producing Ca-
 paclty of ofMines-Visible Supply all Gone development of Alaskan Coal Stimulated

The coal shortage is the topic wit coal users nowfrom one end of the Pa clfc coast to the other. 1t is matter that deeply concerns Alaska. lnvesLi gation discioses that it.is not likely to be terminated very soon as the cause lies far deeper than~the floods which recently interiered with transportation between the coal mines of Puget sound and the supply depots Of the coast. The shortage is due to the fact that the mines are not producing enough to sup. ply the demand.
 Nor is the shortage of the coal supply due to a diminution of the output, but to an increase lin the demand, The building of new manufactOries and the enlargement of the old ones, the in- crease in railroad mileage and train service, the growth of steam tonnage plying the Pacific waters and the tre- mendous influx of coal burning people have caused a demand for coal that has the capacity of the mines on the coast as they are operated at the present time.
 The visible coal supply has entirely disappeared. The Canadian Pacific, which has alwarys carried large sur plus on hand for many years for the purpose of providing against a possible strike or stoppage of the mines, is said
