PASSING UP
MARKET
Coal from the States, can be laid down at Westward ports
for $20 a ton.
'Alaska coal shipped Westward, Westward folk say,
shipped thru the port of Seward and laid down at the
same points Westward costs at least $22 a ton.
One of the reasons for the lower cost of coal from the
States is given that the S. S. Tupper, enroute during the
summer months to Bering Sea ports, brings North large
quantities and the extra handling charge is eliminated.
In order to compete with the Outside market West
ward people want a lower price than that now quoted for
Alaska coal. When this is done there will be opened a
tremendous new outlet for Alaska's product.
Greivance is also given regarding the poor quality
of sacks in which the coal, which does go Westward occa
sionally, is of poor quality and every other sack sent is
bursted necessitating extra woi<k in resacking.
From these criticisms it can be judged there is a big
market for Alaska coal throughout the vast Westward
district providing thes^. obstacles can be overcome. It
would appear that this could be done.

That was a bonehead play the Secretary of the Bel

Well we were also behind 'em in the late mixup across the
