NEEDED COAL SHIPPED AWAY.
Thousands of Tom Going Out of
Seattle to Alaska. ' !
The Seattle News prints the follow
ing Item concerning the rank dls-,
crimination of the coal companies
against Seattle:
During the past two and one-halt
months, according to the records In
the office of the harbormaster of
Seattle, 118,947 tons of coal has
been shipped on vessels leaving this
port, says the News. This coal has
been sent principally to points In
southeastern Alaska and to Califor
nia. During October the shipments
amounted to 47.488 tons. During
November 47,644 tons were shipped.
For the first 15 days of December
the shipments have amounted to 23,
S20 tons.
A glance at the figures given in the
foregoing shows that notwithstanding
the local shortage of coal the ship
ments to outside points have not di
minished during the present month,
or during the floods of December. '
James Anderson, chief engineer of
the Pacific Coast company, and man
ager of the mines controlled by that
concern, stated recently before the
Seattle Commercial club that during
the month of November 87.600 tons of.
coal were mined by that company,
all of which was shipped to Seattle,
except 5200 tons.
Mr. Anderson neglected to state
how much of the coal, however, was
loaded In vessels in the harbor after
being shipped to Seattle,

Women are creatures of habit. They form
the habit of doing a certain thing and often
continue it after improvements have been made.
Take shortening for 'instance. The old
time way was to purchase bulk lard, in a barrel
or tub, which the grocer uncovered as soon as
received, leaving it open to dirt, dust and files,
exposing it in some cases to the sun with the
possibility of its becoming rancid, and permit
ting it to be placed where it would be likely to
absorb the odor of cod-fish, soap or kerosene
oil. This is an old-fashioned, out-of-date
method of buying shortening, but many people
still continue It. We wonder why? Probably,
just a matter of habit.
There is a better way. Cottolene is not only
superior to lard as a shortening, from the fact
that It is a vegetable, and cleanly product, while
lard is made from greasy, indigestible hog-fat,
but Cottolene reaches the consumer in the same
condition it was on the day we manufactured it.
If cleanliness, healthfulness, economy and
superiority count for anything there is no excuse
for any housewife, in the land using other than
Cottolene for shortening and frying. You owe it
to yourself and family, as a careful housewife,
to give Cottolene a test, and verify the claims we
'make for it.
Any one who expects to live his allotted
three score years and ten cannot afford to exper
iment with lard cooked food. It is a foe to
good digestion and a healthful condition of the
stomach Cottolene is the
only satisfactory and
perfect shortening.
COTTOLENE was granted a GRAND PRIZE (highest
possible award) over all other cooking fats at the
recent Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and food cooked
with COTTOLENE another GRAND PRIZE.

Pioneer Memories.
Floyd Vaughan made the trip from
Fugone to Portland and back yester
day, quite a contract with the first
time he went there, says the Eugene
Guard. That was In 1856, a half cen
tury ago. There were no bridges In
those days and with no bni9h and no
fencing the pioneer picked his road
anywhere, only he had to strike the
fords and ferries. It took three weeks
to make the trip with ox teams, there
being few horses and those useless for
hauling heavy loads on the soft
ground. ' Mr. Vaughan, who bears his
75 years lightly, notwithstanding a
mlxup with his Jersey bull a few
years ago, came to the state in 1847,
nearly 60 years ago, and to Lane
county In 1856.
