HAVE YOU TRIED COM AK COAL !?

COMAX COAL is produced by the Vancouv- CT Island Goals Limited, producers also of the fam ous Ladysmith Coal. We brought in a sample sup ply of COMAX COAL on the recommendation of MT. H. R. Plommer, General Manager who visit ed Nome last summer
 After Investigating local conditions MT. Plom- mer advised the introduction of COMAX COAL on the ground of Economy and Efficiency He pro- duced facts showing considerable saving compar- ed with oil burning COMAX COAL is extremely high in heating value, and because of its strong coke qualities is long lasting. It is not recommend ed that this coal should be used except in those places where healthy draft is available, and in this regard it should not be inferred because the draft is the fre that the fire is burning to waste. Of course, if the heat is net required there is no purpose in exciting fierce fre but if requir ed the more of the oxygen from the atmosphere that can be consumed with the coal, the better the results.

 Inquiring in the neigh borhood they could find ne trace of a possible sanitar- ium patient, nor anything that would indicate one had even been there. Their next step, naturally, was to look up the youth who re- ported the circumstances, to question him further and to make certain that he had not been suffering from illusions.
 He was questioned but the only odd part about him seemed to be his story and he stuck 10 if. even to every detail. A second investigation followed.
 The officers found Ben nett at work on a wood pile. He told officers that he had 36 cords of wood to get cut before winter set in.
 Planned Funeral Pyre
 Twenty cords of the wood was to furnish heat for his cabin, which they found to be an immaculate | ly clean and tidy place, and 16 cords of the wood was to be slowed within the house l to furnish fuel for his fun eral pyre.
 He showed officers his place, especially a large box of kindling that was "bone dry" and stacked around a large candle at the base of which was pill ed loose paper. Around the box of kindling he had be- gun to pile the wood he was cutting-a part of the Is cords.
 The house itself is about large enough to contain 1t cords of wood and is con- structed of extra heavy ma- terial, including 3-by-12 planking on the inside. This the tenant explained, was to keep the heat of his pyre within the cabin so that il would be sure to do a thor ough job when the right time came.
 At the time that he fell that he was nearing deatf he planned to strike a mat. ch to the candle which would burn for 12 hours bt fore getting to the paper t( start the fire. He was sure that it would take 12 hours . he'd tested another like it Appeared Natural Seeing it all, the officer: were amazed. The man wa, perfectly frank and appar ently thought that every
