OIL PRICE TOO HIGH.
Hogg Sells Out and Texans Again
 Using Coal.

Austin, Tex, January 10.-An in- vestigation on the part of the state au- thorities who are interested in secur- ing supply of oil for use as fuel by the several state institutions show that very few new contracts for Beaumont oil arc being made. as consumers can not afford to pay 46 to 50 cents per bar rel, the advanced price, which, with the freight added, makes the oil cost as much or more than coal. In many instances consumers are having a hard time enforcing existing contracts, which were entered into at the time oil was much cheaper than it is now. This uncertainty of a fuel suppl wis causing many manufacturers to go back to the use of coal after thousands of dollars has been expended in equipping plants with oil burners, erecting storage tanks, etc. The Ignite coal mine operators in Texas and Indian Terri tory are preparing to reopen their properties on an extensive scale.
