real cause of every notable municipal

people see a justification for rclaxa-

ELEVEN DOLLAR COAL.

The Baxter coal is now being adver- tised in Anchorage for $11. This is Alaska coal. If the railroad had been connected with the coal fields as the President of the United States order ed three years ago, but which others decided was not necessary, Seward would now be using this coal and ship ping it to the Outside. MT. Baxter left on the Victoria yesterday for Se- attle. He claims that he can place coal in Seattle for $400 F. 0. B. But this will be late this year if the har- bor is dredged on Cook Inlet and after the commission spends from two to three million dollars for obstinate i'm provements." If the Turnagain Arm section had been completed, as it was ordered Mir. Baxter could be shipping his coal now. Everybody would be reaping the benefit as we'll as Anchor age.-Gateway.

Lacked Experience

A farmer went one day to buy bushel of buckwheat for sowing. The man who sold the grain was away, and his wife waited on the customer. She took a peck measure and they went to the granary. After filling the measure twice she poured the con- tents into the bag and began tying it.
 But" demonstrated the farmer, lit takes four pecks to make a bushel."
 "Oh, does it?" returned the woman, untying the bag. You see, I never had any experience in measuring grain before was married always taught school"-Harpers

No Pipe Dream This Time.

We learn that an error was made
last week in regard TO the new garage
building of Strong & Mamfey. 1t is
to be built all right. but on a site
that we'd about given up hopes for.
Their original intention was as, we
stated but they later concluded to
purchase the long vacant corner at
Wall and Railroad streets, the most
valuable business site in town. and
will erect the garage there. The en-
tire space will be built up and either
occupied by themselves, with hard
ware stock or perhaps rented. Dur
ing the past six years whenever that
corner changed hands we have spent
sums ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
in paper money, on an uptodate bush
ness and Office building there for the
owner. We are very glad to know
that now something Of the kind is 60
ing to become a fact, in place OF a
blot on the landscape toevery stfang-
er that has seen it, in the eight years
since the O'Connor Block went up in
smoke.

viii Aid Farmers.

County Representative Gunderson
received one Of the late model farm
tanning mills this week and contem-
plates making a tour of the county
when spring comes, stopping at the
most central points where he will
clean up the seed grain of any farmer
who wishes to take advantage Of the
opportunity. He will also if requested
treat the grain for smut and other
diseases which effect the later CT op
greatly in regard to yield.
Every farmer should this year clean
all seed before sowing, something
that owing to the scarcity of mills, it
has been impossible to do here tofore,
and which thanks to Mr.. Gunderson,
they will now be able to do.
