A Communication.

EDITOR OF HERALD:-In your paper OF
March Is appears communication
from T. F. Orion and also one from
Mr.. A. Wiedenbeck in which they tell
their side of the story in regard to the
purchase of coal used at the pumping
station. feel it my duty to reply to
said articles and tell my side OF the
story and leave it to the reader and
especially the taxpayers of the city OF
Lancaster to determine whether my
action in the matter of procuring coal
for the city's use is right or wrong.
In what shall say, replying to Mr..
Orion, I will confne.. myself only to
the main question in controversy. To
his animadversions outside of that |
shall pay no ttention-maklng con-
siderable allowance for his malicious
tongue given him by mother nature. l
have always been and am still in prin-
ciple and by practice opposed to pur-
chasing goods away from home, de-
priving home dealers from legitimate
profit-this is more than Mr.. Orion
can say-but when it comes to the pur
chase of coal in large quantities and
by the car load, by either city or other
large consumer, the dealing in coal is
done direct with either large jobber
or the mine owner. In fact such deal
ers in coal retain with local dealers
the right to approach consumers who
use coal for steam purposes and sell
direct. and sell their coal at such low
prices that the IDEAL dealer can not
compete.
When it became apparent that the
city could buy coal and save consider
able of the price paid to home dealers,
city officials empowered to purchase
c)al, including members of the city
council thought it proper to prevent
unnecessary xpenditure-the asser-
tion that stated in the council meet
ing that could save the city one-half
of the amount now paid for coal is not
true, as the members of the council
will bear me out, and you, Mr.. Editor.
should not have said so in reporting
the proceedings of the council. But
after our coal dealers here have stirred
up hornets nest in the coal business,
/ have looked little more into it and
by figuring find now that which l am
reported to have said, is fact or near
~ so and will with figures show it.
The first Black Band Goals we bought
cost us delivered at the r. .R.Estation
here $3.50 per ton. The first.icar load
received was very good coal, so pro-
nounced by Engineer j. H. Stephens.
All the car loads received since have
been far inferior in.Squality..to the
first. By investigation Ishave ascer-
tanned that on an average the local re-
ceived since the first car load has not
been as good as the first car by at
least one-third. Attention of the deal
ers here was called to this fact, but
without avail. With the 10 cent COM
mission added the coal cost S6.per ton.
The coal bought after the first load
was worth only 81, for it takes S9iworth
OF the poor coal to go as far aslS6
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1905-03-22

and unqualifedly false-Tom Orion
might call you liar-I refrain
from such language. The truth is
that right after a coal representa-
tive had been here and given me
prices on Black Band coal I came to
the conclusion that there might
have been drop in the price and
asked of you the price of Black
Band coal by the car load. I did
not ask you such foolish and in
definite question as What is the
price of car load of COAL" You
answered that you could not tell,
but had to look it up, and would let
me know. Up to this hour you
have not answered my question.
Now as to some quotations and
figures you give in your article, I
am also very much surprised-com-
ing as they do from a man who
should be better posted than I am
and I really don't know whether
you intend to blindfold or whether
you are mistaken or ignorant. You
say that the price Of soft coal at the
mines ranges from 81. 80 to S.. so per
ton. Pocahontas coal being one of
the very best quality would cost us
according to that if you were called
upon to furnish it to the city, as
follows:
Cost at the mines. $3.50
Transportation to Lancaster. ;. $40
Commission 49,. .. 10
Total. So. 90
Say, friend Wiedenbeck, I can
tell you where to get the best Po-
cahontas coal for about one-half of
that-then you can divide the prof
it's with Tom and each have better
| deal than a ten cent commission
now on Black Band.
In conclusion of your communica-
ton you advance very good idea
sense of fairness seems to have
come over you-or your poisoned
condition of mind must have recov-
cred. You advise that the city
ought to receive bids for the coal
we need. Now that is right, but
by doing SO I think you would see
about the following result:
LIST. That the city could buy coal
at very much lower price than we
are paying now.
2nd. That you dealers here did
not know your business.
3rd. That in the minds of the
close observers of this controversy
it would leave him to guess whether
or not the pretended only 10 cent
profit on ton of coal is true.
I rather think that the coal deal
ers here in Lancaster, in order to
save some of their reputation, would
not compete. Adieu Herr Weiden-
bach. AUG. MICHAELIs.

worth of the good coal. The same
brand of coal is now offered to be laid
down here to us at 1896 with a guar
anty that if it is not as good or better
than any Black Band coal we ever had,
the city need not receive it. The read
er will see by these figures that we are
to get for 1896 what would have cost
of the bad coal So. Counting 80 tons
to the car, car load of good coal
would cost S17325-an equivalent of
the poor coal with the 10 cent commits
sion added would cost S3l5. If the ad-
ditional cost of 1915 that it would take
to haul the poor coal to the water
works be added, it comes quite near to
costing only half as much and there
would be saving of $3.50 on each car
load. If i've car loads year are used
it would be S7525O.
How do you taxpayers like it? Don't
you think it would be worth while to
have, as Orion calls it, a city treasury
watch dog? Would it at least not be
worth while to give the matter fair
trial?
There seems to be a screw loose
somewhere. Why was it that after
certain representative of a coal deal
ing concern had been here, letter
was received by that firm, giving them
HI for sending man here to Lam
caster to give such low figures on coal.
Again if Mr.. Orion has only 10 cents
profit on a ton of coal as he claims,
and cannot do any better, when some
one else within all fairness and as
taxpayer should he not say Amen and
let someone else do the selling.
Here drop Mr.. Orion and address
my countryman Herr Wiedenbeck per-
sonally.
MEIN HERR:-In your article in
the Grant County Herald you re-
peat a fabricated dialogue you
claimed to have had with me over
the phone about coal-a sort of
burlesque. I am surprised at your
action and that you make ridicule
OF a countryman of yours. Can it
be possible that he is ashamed of
his nationality? I almost come to
the conclusion that you are. If this
is so, your disguise will not do, as
number of persons of late have told
me that your German accent is
worse than mine and if So I feel
highly aattered. as I know nv
speech is very defective. Let us see
how long ago did you or your
father leave the old Fatherland and
change and Americanize your name
from Weidenbach to Wiedenbeck?
l know my name is a breaker
for p good many people, but I have
SO far stuck to the original. I
would not by any means change it.
If the real name as spelled indicates
that am of German descent I am
proud of it.
But to come to the point. I
would not care SO much about the
burlesque feature of your pretended
dialogue over the phone, if you had
not misrepresented the main points
IN question, and will say here that
as to your statement it is absolutely
