Stalled For Coal

The government dredger William
s. Ladd has had the bad luck to take
on a lot OF coal that would not make
steam, and II became necessary to
discharge It all yesterday (about Is
tons), under conditions that were any
thing but pleasant; for it is one thing
10 load coal into ship and quite an
other to disembark it. Ships are so
constructed that coal is swiftly
passed into their bunkers, and it
usually goes out again via the
tunnels and the ash-shoot; but when
ii comes to getting it out in bulk,
there is no provision that is useable,
and so the officers Of the Ladd found
yesterday They had to pass the
stuff up through small deck-plates in
three gallon buckets and then wheel
il onto the dock. The company that
furnished the coal will see that she
gets a good equipment Of Australian
coal in return, at once. No one is to
blame for the misehance, since il is
not possible always to know the
exact quality Of the coal handled and
sold, even by the oldest dealers.

About County Schools

In the Office of the county superin-

teresting facts and figures pertaining

the average attendance was over W
per cent. One district showed the
fine record of SO per cent, and the
lowest was only IS per cent. Ten OF
the country districts showed "a per
cent, When the rains and the bad

really excellent, and speaks well for
