WINTER COAL SUPPLY ARRIVES

Nome's winter store of coal has been coming ashore from the freight steamer Ketrhikan since Tuesday and the greater part is already landed. The steamer returned from St Michael Tuesday morning and, aside from a delay of one day due to the storm Wednesday, has discharged steadily during the intervening period. The Ketchikan's cargo comprised some thing over 1000 tons. which is consid- cred ample to carry the camp through the closed period under ordinary con- ditions. A further supply is also ex- pected on the return of the Victoria.
 The coal baron's have announced that the price will be $45 per ton in the yards after October 12th, thus making it incumbent on those who wish to save money to secure their supply before that date.

A wire from the governor reaching the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday said the Secretary of the Treasury had advised him that it was not practicable to use the Bear for transportation of dredge workers In an earlier telegram the governor also announced that the Alaska Steamship Company is contemplating getting the Victoria away from Nome earlier than October fifteenth if mining has sus- pended and people are willing to laeve The message says:

SPEEDY WINTER MAIL
 SERVICE PREDICTED

A wide improvement in the winter mail service between Nome and the States is presaged in report turned in by the Mail Committee of the Chamber of Commerce at the last meeting of that body.
 The committee, reported that there in an excellent prospect that the time of mail deliveries to Nome next winter will be shortened by about three weeks as result of the awarding of a new mail contract between Nena c;. and the lower coast.
 The government it appears. has cancelled the Brewer contract and awarded a new contract to the Alaska Railroad Commission under tn. direc- ton of which the government roalroa is being constructed between Nenana and Seward. Under the new arrange ments the mails will be routed via Seward to the rail head north of An thorage. From that Ioint ii w.li he carried by team to Nenana or to rail head on the Nenana extension of the railroad line where the latter section Of the road is open. The new route will cover q lesser distance tl,.n the old route over the Valdez trcil an6 can be covered in much faster time owing to the railroad, which now extends l., point considerably ncrth ot Anchor age.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 ASKS MORE COAL

The Chamber of Commerce is ad- verse to taking chances on the devel- opment of another coal famine next winter and has requested the head of fees of the Alaska IAghtemee Co to forward two hundred additional tons of coal on the Victoria, in accordance with a recent telegraphic offer of the company to send that amount if 1t is needed.
 The company message, received September 17th. stated that 1000 tons had been shipped on the Ketchikan, but only 400 tons had been spoken for here. in spite of the company request to place orders, and no more would be shipped unless needed. The message said space was available on the Vic toria for 200 tons and requested in formation if it would be required.
 In reply the Chamber of Commerce acting On the report of its coal com mittee, informed the company that the extra amount was needed and requested its shipment. The company was fur ther advised that the people would be urged to purchase their full winter re- quirements and the Chamber would over to the city or otherwise.

pledges to support one or more of the child inmates for periods of month or more at the rate of 47 cents per diem for each child. This is the actual cost Of maintenance as represented in food, clothing and medical treatment. without including salaries to attend ants. or other overhead costs. Each person or group of persons agreeing to provide for the care of child will become q foster parent" for the period of the pledge and will be made aware of the name of the particular child to whom their subscription is allotted.
 There are 59 children in the institu- tion at present and it is believed that each and every one can be provided for in this manner for at least one month. The proposal was first broach ed at the committees initial meeting Monday and resulted in twelve pledges being immediately given. the subscrib. CTS being members of the committee. It is also planned to place donation boxes in the various business houses.
 The entire proceeds of the enter tainment will be devoted to the up- keep of the hospital and maintenance of the home and everyone should as- sist the project by contributing au they can possibly spare. The hos pital is an institution of the utmost value to the community and is entitled to all the assistance that can be given. The children's home is equally con- mendable and the appeal for its sup port should find read dy response from everyone who appreciates it's highly charitable cha racter. Considered sole ly from the material view point, both institutions are of considerable value to the community and especially the business element. The local expen- ditures for supplies used by them amount to about s7.500 annually and the coal consumed runs from 125 to 2oo tons. Neither the hospital or home has heretofore had any assis- tance from the community, aside from q few donations by individuals, and no one may devote their spare funds to more worthy or commendabIe pur pose.
