COAL SHORTAGE DUE TO LACK
OF STORING FACILITIES
Big Detroit Plants Have Out
grown Trackage Equipment,
Committee Reports

The committee of the transporta-
tion bureau OF rhe Board OF Com
merce which has been investigating
the coal situation in Detroit. reports
that the chief cause OF difficulty in
Detroit is the lack of adequate coal
handling facilities at the big plants
In the city. especially those on the
inner belt line, which have outgrown
their trackage facilities. IL Is said
that the coal situation. which be-
comes acute every winter, could be
greatly relieved IL the factories would
put In more spur tracks. wherever
possible, so as to be able to take care
OF more coal.
The committee also recommends
that the Michigan Central establish
a yard In the eastern part of the city
TO take care OF freight consigned TO
the east side, and relieve the conges-
tion and resulting delay in the SO.
called hump" yard. An increase in
terminal equipment, especially loco
motives, on the part OF the railroads
and more cars for the use of the auto
mobile manufacturers Is another sug-
gestion.
The Pere Marquette is in trouble
again, the Consolidated Coal Co., Of
Saginaw, complaining that the road Is
taking all the coal from its mines to
provide for possible strike after
April /. A railroad has right to
confiscate coal on its tracks when
ever necessary for its own uses, but
the coal company claims that this
does not give the road a right to store
up coal against contingency such
as a strike. The Consolidated COM
pany has taken the matter up with
the state railroad commission.
Other railroads have been taking
coal out OF the mines as fast as posi-
BILE, and there is said to be large
amount of X stored on the tracks
around Pittsburgh, and the every pos
sible space available for storage is be-
ing utilized
While the local situation suffered
another setback from the snow storm,

PEACE OFFICERS
 WILL BE APPOINTED

U. s. Marshal II. L. Faulkner is back from his trip to the west coast whither he went to look over the need of peace of- ficers. The result of the visit will be a recommendation to the department for provision for the appointment of a deputy marshal for Craig. Judge Lyons will probably appoint a United States commissioner for the same place and the wheels of justice will then commence to revolve in that region. c. A. Sulzer at Sulzer is the only commissioner in that neighbor- hood but is so far away from Craig, the center of population, that another commissioner ap- pears necessary.

Frank Bold, who came down from Skagway recently to drum up business for the Pacific Coast Steamship company, re- ports that he is meeting with good success, so much so in fact that he will move his fam- fly down here to Ketchikan at least for a time.

THE CALL OF THE NORTH

There is a belief among Alas kans that whoever leaves here will some day wander back a. gain. When once a person has felt the magic influence of the north. has stood beside her giant mountains, walked upon the azure glaciers, or sailed a. long the blue inland sea; when he has once stood under the nebulOus northern lights and heard the fiery serpents hiss
 n playfulness across the heav- ems; when the long nights have taken him back in memory ov- CT the shining paths of youth ard innOcice, and the midni9 ht sun has touched him with it's caress, he has then received an impression that clings. ..-a
 Go out into the worlds hur- ly-burly, fight in it's battles, trade in it's marts, swirl in it's artificiality, but when the sen- ses are tired with the glamour of it all, then the magic influ- ences of the north will call you to come and rest. The appeal is irresistible, and you wander back.-EX.
