POSTOFFICE REMODELLED.
Needed improvements Completed This
Week at Local POstoffice.

improvements that seem to have done
wonders to the interior of the Grange
vile postoffice We're completed this
week. The changes consist OF moving
up the partition at the rear Of the
lobby, which, however, in no wise
lessons the number OF boxes, while II
adds materially to the floor space in
the work room. Additional windows
have been placed In the east side OF
the building and the place is now
lighted in fine shape. The benches and
work tables have been rearranged and
altogether the postoffice presents a
very handy appearance. The carpenter
work was done by William Campbell
and the painting and kalsomining by
John Kabat and Geo Watkins.

MATANUSkA COAL COSTS TOO MUCH,
 COAST MAN SAYS

That the people of the coast towns are hampered when it comes to using domestic coal by the high prices of the product of the Mat anuska mines Is indicated by an article appearing in recent num- her of the Juneau Empire, which says:
 Arrangements were made to get 200 tons of the product of the Gov ernment coal fields. .-* .>=:
 "The cost, according to Agent R. F. Young, of the Pacific Coast Coal |company, was to be $9.7O on the wharf at Anchorage. With the freight and handling expenses to Juneau the coal would cost the company S15 per ton. This is all in short tons. >.. ::-
 10 allow margin of profit on account of shrinkage in handling and interest the coal would have to be retailed here at close to S20 per ton. This is much higher than the British Columbia coal is sold for.
 If more British Columbia coal would arrive while the company hal this coal on hand the Alaska coal could not be sold in competition with the other coal and it would ba a dead loss"
 It is said that the reason of the high price of the Government coal lies in the fact that actual produc- tion has not yet started at the mines. The coal now being pro- duced is from development work The facilities are not perfected for the handling of the coal after it is produced in the mine, and the freight rates from westward points to Juneau are high.
