There is considerable agitation in
this region, not only by the press, but
by the people generally. as to what is
the best course to pursue as to the
fuel question. Coal has gone up in
price despite the fact that other COM
modities have gone down. It now re-
quires about 100 bushels Of corn to
buy a ton of hard coal, and there is
quite fixed opinion that at this ratio
there will be a saving by burning
corn. It has been done and it can be
repeated The coal purchases are
unprecedentedly slow and light, and
sellers are of the opinion that this
condition will not improve. By burn
ing corn the supply will be lessened
and the price of what remains will be
consequently raised. It will also les
sen the consumption of coal and the
tendency will be to lessen the price of
that commodity. It looks as if the
trust will have to yield few points
in this instance, for the northwest can,
if compelled to do so, get along with:
out that product except in limited
degree. -Sibley Herald.
