Show PERMANENT OUT IN COAL. v Salt Lake hag had its 50-cent cut in coal, but Ogden is enjoy-hig enjoy-hig a reduction of $1. Within the week three companies have advertised a big cut in coal and today these yards are offering to sell the best quality of coal for $5.25 a ton. A prominent coal man said Wednesday that the reduction in the price of fuel is not for a day, but is permanent, and that Ogden will never again see coal at $0.25 a ton, the quoted price of two weeks ago. We hope he speaks with full knowledge, as coal at $6.25 is Unjustifiably high. Ogden is not over 300 miles from the most extensive coal measures meas-ures in the world, and yet the people of this community have been paying almost as much as is charged in San Francisco for coal mined an Australia and transported half around the world. |
