THE COAL FAMINE.
Grand Trunk Shops Here Shut Down
Forty Men in Portland Affected, and
More in Gorham, N. H., and Island Pond

The strike among the bituminous coal
miners wrought its influence here yester-
day. An order came to the Grand Trunk
officials to shut down the shops. That
will affectsforty men in Portland At
Gorham, N. H., there are more men,
because there is a machine shop there.
At Island Pond there are less men than
here. There is always a shut down of
ten days in the shops, but it comes later,
usually about the first of June. sssaAt all
affected.
This curtailment of employment is due
to the lack of business as we'll as the
coal famine. for business is not what
it should be at this time. The large
mills and manufactures, especially in
been unable to obtain sufficient soft coal
and this has greatly affected the freight
traffic. The large roads centering in
Chicago are now suffering for lack of
coal. The Chicago, Burlington & Quin-
cy
ARE BURNING OIL IN THEIR
ENGINES,
and this should suggest to Yankee in
for coal. How long the shut down will
last depends upon the duration of the
strike. The only bituminous coal mines
in operation now are those known as the
Pocahontas. Last year Randall & Nc
Allister supplied this section of the
ably could this year, as they have coal
from there; but this spring the contract
was awarded to Mr.. Cobb of Boston,
for $4,000 tons. There is on hand here
at present 400 tons, and a fairly good
supply at Gorham and Island Pond, but
it will last only until about the first of
July.
Two thousand tons are due here now
from Mr.. Cobb.
BUT THEY DON'T COME.
The trouble is that the railroad
men in the Middle States are grabbing
the coal consigned to the New England
States. They go to the holders and
simply demand that the coal be sold to
them. They won't listen to refusal, but
say they must have it, and almost take
it by force. 1t is said that the New
York & New England railroad offered So
ton premium for coal bound for the
East. This is probably why the 1000 tons
Of coal didn't come.
Of course the Grand Trunk could OBJ
tain its coal from Parrsboro, MS, as it
has before, but that coal is not liked so
well since it is very smoky.
The Maine Central has i've months
supply of coal, and therefore is practi-
cally all right. They also keep on hand
larger supply than the Grand Trunk,
because the latter road is nearer the
coal fields.

the mountains Of Trinity county.
With him as his guest is Col. Clark
Drake. a hunter whose reputation for
daring in the pursuit of big game ex-
/ tends far beyond the borders of the
/ state. Both have stories to relate of a
! chase full of excitement and danger.
Both tell of q dangerous trip into re-
gion which in rugged grandeur of
scenery is not excelled in the state,
perhaps not in the world.
Each tells of the excitement of the
chase. of the trailing of the noble
game. the roar of the hunted animal,
the wild baying Of the dogs. Now the
hunters are climbing the sides of the
mountain, again their horses dash
through mountain streams and down
into canyons There is an element of
danger in it all. In the chase in which
Col Drake took part his only weapon
against the wounded, enraged beast
was knife.
Stone left this city on June 30 last,
his purpose being to go to Del Norte
for hunting expedition with Judge
j. Z. Murphy. His expedition was to
hunt deer, bear and panther. Stone
had the usual trappings of the hunter.
The rife he carried, it is safe to say. has
no duplicate. 1t was presented to him
by Col. Arthur W. Hooper, a college
chum and old-time friend of the at
torney. The rife weighs no more than
eight pounds. 1t is patterned after
the modern rapid-fring guns, and 10
beautifully engraved with the figures
of grizzly bear, wild turkey and
stag's head. The stock is made of

The strike played sad havoc with the
attorneys plans. He was stopped at
Red Bluffs and after dreary wait of
three days determined to push on into
Trinity county in search of the same
game he had expected to find in Del
Norte county. He hired a team. bought
provisions, engaged half-breed Indian
and started On journey of sixty-iye
miles to Camp Wildwood
HIS purpose was to meet Col Drake,
who for fifteen years had lived in the
as its most daring hunter of
big game. As the attorney continued
on his trip he was informed that he
was sure to strike the trail of a bear
before his journey was over. The re-
gion through which he was passing
was a rugged one. Once in awhile q
house was to be found, but they were |
from seven to ten miles apart on the |
road, and leaving it one would not find |
a habitation for twenty or thirty miles. |
Tehama county was soon left behind |
and the hunter was IN Trinity. The
way became more difficult and danger
BUS as the country became more noun
tainoua Wildwood was reached and |
Il was learned that Col. Drake was
still thirty-ivs miles away in the
very heart of the mountains. The re-
zion was wild one Huge powders
