"Four foot tamarack wood is
worth $3.50 per cord but we have
none for sale. We can sell you a
cord of 1t sawed up for $4.25."
That statement represents the
wood situation in Spokane today.
The. wood dealers will not sell four
foot wood to the poor. They will
sell two rioks, two-thirds Of cord,
for just Is cents less than the full
cord is worth, however.
Thus the poor people of the city,
who can not afford to buy wood in
carloads, are being robbed.
For the past few weeks the poor
people of the city have been tele-
phoning to The Press complaining
that they cannot buy a cord of
four foot wood so that their boys
or husbands can saw it up, thus
saving about $2.12 cents on every
cord.
They said the poor man can't buy
the long wood, but it is told that
some will be shipped into the city

known to be full of four foot wood.
This situation was made public
about a week ago by The Press,

to publish free the names Of any
yard that would furnish four foot
wood. None responded.
Then, fearing an injustice had
been done the dealers, this paper

this city are bound either by an
actual or tacit agreement to sell
no four foot wood. thus robbing the
