Inquiring al the coal yards where the

was on the North Highlands to the

and jumping into my automobile wait

was very much relieved when l
found that my ton of coal was to go 70
such an appreciative home and that II
was faring quite as well as the good
little egg that l told you about back
yonder and as the driver of the big
truck was making ready to unload,
it was really signal for me to say
good bye to my ton of coal TO whlch
l had become very much attached our

had learned so much that l had never

And so in my own way I have tried
to relate THE Life story of a Ton of

wish that they with their happy family

Alaska Hol The tide has turned our
great empire of the Artic seas Is fill

particular danger of overcrowding. 1t
will be some time before they Will be
hanging on straps'up there. Nor Will
there be any immediate need to bulld
skyscrapers to house her congested
population. There is lot OF outdoors
left.
But it is important to record that
Alaska's population Is going back to
Alaska. Before the war, Alaska had
between so, coo and 10000 white popula-
ton. But She sent 5000 men to the
colors-by far the largest percentage
of any state or territory in the union
and some 10000 returned to the states,
so that last winter she had a popul-
lation estimated at about $4,000 whites
When a territory whose population had
once reached the proud eminence of be-
ing almost on a par with that of Terre
Haute, Ind. drops down below the level
of Danville, H., it becomes an inn
portant phenomenon that needs watch
ing. And when the recovery sets in
there should be consequently rejoicing,
So we congratulate Alaska today on
her forward strides, for the develop
ment of her resources has begun in
earnest, and her growth is assured
Alaska has always had two great
needs-men and transportation. The
men are coming back, and Uncle Sam
is giving her transportation. No other
single factor can contribute so much
to the speed or the permanence OF
Alaskan progress as the government
railroad which is now being pushed
with increasing vigor 1t takes time
to build railroads in Alaska. But the

IN THE COAL YARDS

The great car loads of coal which l
had left at Sipsey now confronted me
in the coal yards where with shoyels
and wheelbarrows the men were busy
unloading and again re-loading on
trucks and wagons making ready Tor
delivery to the waiting customers.
L saw the coal weighed-in trucks
Weighing fifty three hundred and fifty
pounds loaded with two tons of coal
each weighing two thousand pounds.
/ asked Mr.. Daniel to tell me some
thing about prices--what he PAID Tor
coal at the mines. what 1t costs to ship
it; what it costs for storage, what IT
costs to deliver it to the customer ana
this is what l learned:
Let me start with the wear 1918,
said Mr.. Daniel, I'VE bought one hun
dred and eleven thousand dollars worth
of coal; the cost of August coal, 1918 at
the mines was three dollars and forty-
five cents per ton; the price that we
received for August, 1918 coal was S6.45
ner tom The cost of August. 1919 coal
at Sipsey is $4.15 per ton; the price we
are receiving for August. 1919 coal is
s7.45 per ton. In 1918 we showed an
average cost of unloading and hauling
of s174 per ton. In 1919 s2.A per ton.
The freight charges from Sipsey
show 10 cents per ton" Mr.. Daniel con-
tinued, "and to go back to 1918 pusl-
ness we had an apparent profit of ten
thousand dollars but we found short
age; some of it due to coal being stolen
from the cars en- route; some due to
coal being stolen from the yards, MAX
ing a difference between an apparent
profit of ten thousand dollars and the
actual profit of forty seven hundred
dollars"
eve pay our men from eighteen cents
to twenty-five cents per ton to unload
both by truck and wagons employing
three big trucks and eight wagons. In
1916 our drivers hauled on an average
of eight to ten loads a day for which
we paid S1.25 per load: today they are
are hauling on an average of five loads
day for which we pay from two dollars
and a half up. The driver who earned
S. a week when he first started to
work with us-(and Tolbert Cook is
one of our veterans-being in our en-
ploy for the past fifteen years-he sub
tantiates this fact)-today is making SIC
per week.
I'm the meantime the coal season
is short" Mr.. Daniel continued, "but we
must maintain our force the year round,
to make our profits during season OF
about four months and 1t takes very
careful management to do it,"
cit used to cost Jus $12 month 10
feed a mule" Mr.. Daniel said, "and to-
day we pay $50 a month. We work
eighteen mules, the wagons being neces-
sary on account of so many places that
the trucks can't get to. steel wagon
tire today costs $3.50, and lasts only about
four months"
Asked about reduction on buying
coal by the single ton or in large guam
titles Mr.. Daniel said
"rThe man who buys one ton at time
pays just exactly what the man does
who buys twenty tons at time. In
car load lots there is a 25c per ton re-

Mrs. Woodruf's exceedingly great popu-
.arity in New York most exclusive So
cal circles has not been exaggerated. Ev-
erybody seems to be clamoring for her
favor, and her beauty is one of the ia
vorite themes of all New York. In dis
cussing the Dresden China Beauty" as
she is so frequently called in the metrop-
oils, Eleanor Gates in describing the
Rose O. the South in an article publish
ed in Books and Authors said: when
delicate length of silk shows the strength
of linen; when it is the frailest, and
palest violet that sends up the most
potent perfume; when anything that is
is so satisfyingly lovely proves also to be
amazingly useful, one is pardoned for
showing surprise. Because 1t is only JUS
tice to hold that we should not require
any particular person or thing to be more
than exquisite. And that is why when
you meet Helen Woodruff the lady
you are inclined to marvel at the com
bination of striking beauty, distinct aoill-
ty poise, rare good sense, and a spirit o.
thoughtfulness for others that is re-
public-spirited citizens.

but very few have everythingl 1t was

llatter's friends and acquaintance have
lfelt "She should remain for ever as she

can be accomplished if she sets her hears
upon it; only the woman blessed by the
gods can be rarely perfect"
IT has been my constant wish that MRS

able and every body knows how much
bridges and railroad tracks and things
cost-and so 1 just labeled it all col
lossaL" and went on following up my
ton of coal, to which l had become so
attached, reminding myself of the old
country man and the eggs he sold to
the grocer Dozens and dozens of eggs
the old hens had laid and when the
time came to sell them, the old country
man could scarcely get his consent to
let them go so he followed them to the
grocer's and there he stayed until one
by one the dozens went until finally the
large number dwindled down to just
tive little eggs. At last he knew their
fate for one was a very very good lit
tie egg and went into an '"Angei Cake
and the other was a very very bad
little egg and got mashed" on an
actress!
And that's the way felt about my
ton of coal: I wanted to know where II
was going to land, SO bright and early
Wednesday morning I FASTENED to get
in touch with the Rushton Coal YARDS
where Sipsey coal is handled and there
l found Mr. r. t. Daniel, the affaele

Four Billion Dollars to Europe

Oswald f. Schuette in Leslies.
The immigration problem is being com
plicated with the emigration problem.
Before the war the United States never
needed to worry because men and women
who had come to these shores to make
their home were leaving again. Immigra.
ton has always been in excess of emigra-
ton. The war has changed this and
hundreds of thousands of immigrants are
becoming enigrants again. The depart
ment of labor has made careful inVestl-
CATION of this situation and estimates that
during the current year 10000 aliens will
leave our shores for Europe and take with
them about 81, 900, 100000 OF American saw

lance to the United States because it con-
Germs chiefly the less skilled labor in the
mills and mines east Of the Mississippi
