The coal situation here has inn
proved immensely. II. G. Thompson,
of the II. G. Thompson Coal com panN,
stated this morning that this month
he has had no trouble in getting coal
as yet. He has already received four
carloads of coal this month, which is
only a little over a week old. This is
more than was received all last month.
Two loads of coal were received in
his companys yard during the last
week of last month, but they were in
sufficient for all those who wanted
coal. At present there seems to be
enough COAL but Mr.. Thompson says
every bit of the mineral that could be
secured would be given out immedi-
ately, as there are still a number of
people who have not yet put in
enough to last them all winter.
