strange that with the many unfair

LADOR'S COOPERATIVE
INSURANCE UNION NEW
POLICIES AND RATES

The Union Cooperative Insurance
Association, with home offices in the
Machinists Building, Washington, D.
c., which was organized and is con-
trolled by members ofs the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, has been issuing regular
standard life insurance policies on the
participating plan since January,
1925.
1t is now announcing its new low
rates for the standard forms of indi-
vidual insurance on the non-partiei-
pating plan, as many people prefer
to have a definite low rate in force
from the time the policy is taken out,
rather than to start with the higher
rate and depend on future dividends
to reduce cost.
As an example of the cost Of the
new policies, a young man twenty
eight years old could obtain a $1,000
straight life insurance policy for an
annual premium Of just under $500
a year, a saving Of only one dollar a
week to procure an estate Of 5000.
A man of fifty years could procure
81 500 straight life insurance for an
annual premium of $57.Os, represent

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 15.--
One Of the business features Of the
last few years has been the caution
displayed by dealers in stocking up
their shelves with large quantities of
goods. Consequently wholesale trade
often is slow to reflect the gains in
other lines of business. That this
trade now shows great Improvement
owed last year is another confirma-
ton Of business gains.
The Federal Reserve Board receives
information on wholesale trade as a
whole and by various lines.
The wholesale trade in meats, ac-
cording to the boards latest figures is

running Is per cent above the trade
of year ago.
In dry goods, trade this year is 8
per cent above the wholesale move
ment at the same period last year.
Hardware this year shows level
8 per cent above that of a year ago
and the Wholesale grocery trade is
per cent above last year.
Wholesale trade is only one indica-
ton of gaining business. The various
industrial indices all stand above last
year. Retail trade exceeds that of a
year ago also. Agriculture is in a
better position that has been the cost
since 1920.

FOUR MILES IN NEW UNIT YET TO BE cOMPLETED-WOR
 PROGRESSING STEADILY

Five miles of Unit No. 3, Moose

 It is stated, however, that this five miles of completed road, comprises certain sections along the entire nine mile. unit, and does not represent a successive five-mile stretch of com pleted highway. The remaining four miles of road will link the finished portions.
 Weather conditions turnout the an. tire district has not been the best but at the same time, MT. Reher said, the construction of the road has not been hampered by the ele- ments for regardless of rain or shine. the road men have been on the job continually. Though a considerable amount of rain has fallen at Moose Pass, the rainfall has been less than In Seward proper. Work on the pro- Ject will continue until the weather prohibits it.

sisted in their efforts by the Washing ton Coal Producers association. which sees in the S6.SO Utah rate an effective protective tariff in favor of the north west coal producers.
 Both British Columbia and Utah coal are sold along with locally produced coal, in the Seattle market.
 The rate was not granted because of the volume of business it would ere. ate since the total movement of smelt- ing company coal at the low rate is not expected to exceed 2,5OO tons this year while the annual movement of Utah coal to Seattle dealers, for local con- at the high rate, is said to average more than 6O,OOO tons.
 The railroads explanation of it's fight to inaugurate the $525 rate for the smelting company is that it enabl. ed them to divert the haul from San Francisco to Seattle for trans-ship- ment, thus increasing Seattle's off shore tonnage.

SEWARD STORM
 RAVAGES ROADS AND WATERFRONT
Power Plant Out of Commission Few Hours-Roads Opened Again
 Today

l Weather conditions in Seward reach
 ed climax yesterday morning when
 the electric light power was shut off from o'clock A. M. until about 4 P.
 M., as result of a small landslide
 which swept down the mountainside
 yesterday morning, putting out of com
 mission few lengths of the intake pipe. A crew of men at once began repairing the damage, completing it in fast time.
 The loose gravel this side of the bridge at Mile Five, was swept away Thursday night and part of yester- day by the rising glacier waters, but late yesterday afternoon the local Blu reau of Public Roads department, had the road back in shape again, permit ting the passing of traffic. At cer- tain portions of this road Thursday evening, it was stated the water was so high over the road that it reached the radiators on passing automobiles.
 The continued rainfall, following the heavy downpour and storm of Thurs day evening, was the signal for the City Council to have the glacial stream patroled. According to Mayor L. V. Ray, no cause for alarm was felt, but the patrol was put on as a matter of precaution. The railroad bridge cross ing, especially was watched carefully, and was kept clear of snage and trees. 1
 Along the waterfront the bounding pillows assumed enormous sizes, the | breakers crashing on the beach with roar. Three small gasboats, the Hazel, B. F. M. and the Chase, tied up at the city float barely escaped ser lous damage. The starboard side of the Hazel was stove in, filling the yes sel half full of water.

 SHIPPING COAL

Seattle Consumers Pay S6.e0 per ton Freight Charge, For the Same
 Coal

In lengthy article recently publish ed in the Seattle Star, it is stated dur ing an examination of freight tariffs on coal entering Seattle, the follow ing facts were disclosed. The United States Smelling and Refining Co.,, pays the Union Pacific railroad (the o. w. R. & N. Co., S5.25 for hauling a ton of Utah coal from the mines to Seattle.
 The Seattle coal dealer pays the same railroad system S6.SO for hauling ton of the same coal from the same mine to the same destination. The difference is $155 a ton in favor of the Smelling company.
 The preferential tariff on Utah coal went into effect last June and applies to shipments from Utah mines of the United States Fuel Co.,, a subsidiary of the U. s. Smelling & Refining Co.,. to Seattle. for transhipment by boats to the smelling company's mining prop critics in Alaska, as we'll as for general use at Nome.
 The United States Fuel Go. main tains an office in Seattle from which it wholesales the same coal to Seattle dealers. On the fuel distributed and used in Seattle S6.SO a ton must be paid in freight.
 If Seattle dealers were given the same rate on Utah coal as the smelt- ing company enjoys. they could sell the fuel at reduction of at least $50 ton, placing it on competitive bas- IS with local and British Columbia coal.
 It can be assumed that the lower rate granted the smelling company is profitable one to the railroad. since they proposed it and fought for it's in auguration before the interstate com merce commission. They were re- !
