 The freighter Ketchikan of the Alaska Steamship Company's fleet ar rived in port Friday morning, bring ing a thousand tons of British Colum- bia coal-6O0 for the railway and the rest for the Alaska Transfer Com pany. The Nanaimo coal can not be had, and the Comax is the only kind now available On account of the scarcity of coal the Canadian govern ment is contemplating forbidding it's exportation, which makes us wonder what will happen to us then. The Ketchikan also brought two reels of steel cable. weighing eleven tons each, for the tramway at the Kennecott mine About 2 p. m Friday the La touche appeared an docked alongside the Ketchikan The LatOuche's cargo Aconsisted mainly of dynamite for Ken necott and gasoline for Chitina. She also brought up five fish boats for the Alaska Sea Food Company. The work of unloading the Ketchikan is being rushed so she can get away in time to make room for the Alaska, which will be in from the westward prob ably Monday morning. The Alaska is later than usual getting back, on ac- count of having to unload at Valdez the lumber for the new cannery to be erected there The Ketchikan is the largest of the Alaska Stamship Com pany's ships, and previous to her pur- chase carried bulk ore on the Great -= Lakes. : - .~ zsz
