The statement that coal is selling
at $50 per ton is startling to say the
least but without whit of authenticity
Many towns have been out of coal but
what coal there is to be had is selling
at a figure corresponding somewhat
to a reasonable charge.
It is stated that the Cando fabrica-
ton has few earmarks of veracity
but is much distorted. The fact of the
Cando incident are this. About three
weeks Ago the Gjere flour mill received
car of coal for the mill and when
approached by prospective buyers
stated that it would not be sold for
less than $50 ton which price had
been placed at this figure so as to
quiet the insistent ones who desired a
portion of the carload.
The statement by the eastern pre-
varicator that the dealer was arrested
and his coal taken away and delivered
among the poor people has not even
the slightest foundation upon which
to rest,
