Coal For Indian Head.

With the last coal boats to take coal
to the naval powder plant at Indian
Head, Nd, the tug Capt. Toby arrived
last Monday.
Usually at this season Of the year coal
shipments to Indian Head are at their
heaviest, and continue until thecoming
Of cold weather. Each fall reserve
supply sufficient to carry the powder
plant through thewinter is accumulated
at Indian Head, SO hat during the time
the canal is closed down there will be
plenty OF coal on hand without any be-
ing taken to the plant.
This reserve supply has been accumu-
lated earlier than usual this year, and
in order to do so boats laden with coal
have been sent to the coal wharf on
Mattowoman creek six times each week
for the past six weeks.
The hurry in getting the coal down ia
said to be due to the fact that the
authorities at Indian Head wish to have
the wharf rebuilt and to start work on
it before the bad weather comes. 1t is
stated that the present wooden wharf
and coal storage and handling plant is
to be replaced by modern steel and
concrete structure, equipped to unload
canal boat in hour or two, instead
Of requiring half day as now.
