was placed by the company in August,
but up to this time not pound of this
order has been received. Shortage
of cars has been the cry raised for
reason of no fuel, but R. B. Miller of
the o. R. & N. tells different story
to the Pendleton Commercial associa-
| tion. !,
In his address on the fuel situation
Mr.. Miller said that the real and un-
deniable reason for the shortage of
fuel in the northwest at this time, is
the inability of the coal companies to
supply the enormous demand. The
country is developing more rapidly
than the coal mines and the capacity
of the mines must be extended and
larger working forces must be put in
to service. He declared that the 0.
r. 81 N. company and the Oregon
Short Line, in order to handle the
enormous eastbound business are COM
PEELED to send empty cars westward.
These companies. he declared, would
be glad to haul coal to Pendleton, La
Grande, Baker City, Walla Walla and
other Oregon. Idaho and Washington
towns needing coal, if the coal com
panies would load the cars.
Mr.. Miller 'said he would gladly
wire the coal companies in Wyoming
as to what can be done to relieve the
situation. He pledged his department
and his own personal services to do
everything possible to secure coal
shipments and said that owing to the
urgent need, orders had just been
issued to furnish cars to Bridal Veil,
Menominee, Cascade Locks aud other
points having fuel supplies on hand.
Also, efforts would be made to supply
cars at Meacham, Kamela and other
mountain points having wood supplies
on hand.
In order to stimulate coal shipments
in the summer season, when other
business was more or less slack, the
o. R. & N. company gave a reduced
tate. on storage coal shipments, but
owing to the rush of business the
mines were unable to supply but a
small portion of the orders received
under those reduced rates.

POLICY MADE CLEAR
MONTGOMERY AND PENSACOLA
 AGREE ON PUBLICITY PLAN.
Both, Mayor Teague and Mayor BLISS Will Deal Frankly and Can-
 didiy With the Pub

In order to allay uneasiness over d rumor that was circulated in Mont gomery recently regarding suspicious cases of yellow fever in Pensacola. and for the purpose of being perfectly frank with the people of Montgom- cry, Mayor W. M. Teague yesterday made public a series of correspondence which he has lately had on the subject with Mayor Charles H. Bliss of Pen sacola.
 The exchange of letters. open to the reading of the public, shows that the rumor of suspicious cases of yellow fever in Pensacola are unfounded. The rumor originated from the fact that the authorities of Pensacola are this year taking rigid measures to prevent the appearance of the srourRe in their city again. They are screening every case of fever, regardless of type, for a period of seventy hours. in order to allow sufficient time to gain absolute ly knowledge of the case.
 The beginning of the correspondence between the Mayors or the sister cities begun on March go when Mayor Teague addressed the following letter to May or Bliss:
 'sTo the Honorable Mayor of Pensaco-
 la. Florida.
 Dear Sfr--A rumor IS gaming per- sistent circulation here that the health authorities of your city have been call- ed upon to investigate suspicious cases of fever which have appeared in Pen- sacola within the past few days. If there is any foundation for this report. I would thank you very much to advise me of the facts in connection there- with. The health authorities of Mont gomery will. of course, rely on your statement in regard to the matter. and will use same in denying the report. Thanking you for your early reply. I am. yours very truly.
 ''W. M. Teague.
 Mayor" On March 30 Mayor Bliss immediately replied to Mayor Teague by wire as follows:
 "W. M. Teague, Mayor,
 Montgomery. Ala.
 No suspicious fever here this year.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-04-06

As precautionary measures, we screen
 each and every case of fever for first seventy hours. Perhaps practice gave rise to rumor.
 "Chas. H. Bliss, Mayor" On the receipt of the telegram Mayor Teague, on March 30, wrote as follows to Mayor Bliss:
 | Hon. Chas H. Bliss. Mayor Pensacola, Florida. Dear Sir--I am just in receipt Of your telegram of this date.advising me of the facts in connection with the rumor of suspicious cases of fever in your city, and I wish toassure you of my appreciation for your prompt re- ply to my letter of the 29th instant. - I have advised our health de- partment of the receipt of your tele- gram, and every effort will be made to locate and put & stop to any rumor which might work an injury to your city.
 I trust most heartily that our south ern cities may be saved repetition of
 last years experience with yellow fe- yer. Without question. the best meth cd to be adopted by all the authorities of the different cities Is that of being perfectly honest and candid in prompt Iy reporting anything of suspicious nature, so that perfect confidence may exist among all our people. assure you that this course will be pursued strictly by the city of Montgomery. Again thanking you for your prompt courtesy, I am, yours very truly. ''w Nj. Teague. Mayor" The correspondence was concluded with a letter written to Mir. Teague by Mayor Bliss on April 3. The letter was as follows:
 Hon. W. M. Teague. Mayor. Montgom- cry, Ala.
 Dear Sir:-Your favor of March 30th is before me and I heartily acquiesce in your opinion that. the best way to treat yellow fever and yellow fever re- ports, is to be strictly honest and frank with the public. This was the course we pursued here last year, and the mo- ment yellow fever was announced the public was made awars of 1t, and with in fifteen minutes later the Navy Yard and Fortifications had been apprised by wire. There was absolutely nothing during the epidemic concealed from the public.
 Personally feel very confident that we shall have no yellow fever this year, at least in Pensacola, for the con- ditions now are such that 1t would not spread even if introduced here. We are keeping down the mosquitoes almost absolutely. and there are not enough

mosquitoes to spread the disease even though 1t existed here.
 Aside from that we screen every case of fever no matter what it is. whether produced from cold or any other cause, for the first seventy-two hours. We do this when we know, almost ab- solutely, that 1t is not possible for 1t to be yellow fever. but. when we know it is any other kind of fever. still we screen 1t. for we consider it a safe prsc- tice to screen one hundred cases that are not yellow fever than to fail to screen on that might be.
 It seems to me that we are doing much unnecessary work, yet, our peo- ple feel that they should leave no stone unturned to be on the right side of safety.
 Hoping that the South has experienc- ed its last epidemic of this disease. l
 Yours very respectfully.
 Charles H. Bliss
 Mayor.
 It was several days ago that a ru- nor gained ground in Montgomery of suspicious fever in Pensacola. Mir. Teague at once set to work and had the rumor sifted to it's source with the re- suit that 1t was positively ascertained that the rumor was unfounded. The person who started the rumor. had just come to Montgomery from Pensacola and had regarded tho fever cases there as suspicious on account of the screen ing The person did not know that all fever cases were being screened. and. after hearing the status of the situa- ton. felt truly certain of a serious mistake in causing the rumor to be spread.
 Mayor Teague said yesterday that he made a thorough investigation so as to allay all fear that the people of Montgomery might have had. He does not apprehend any danger from the fever this summer, but if anything should turn up. he expects to act open ly with the people, and he expects thereby to gain their utmost confidence in regard to such matters.

Purposes.

last year and the fill was never made
and could not be until an appropria-
ton was made.
Expense of coroners inquest, $50.
This appropriation is to cover eXpen-
ses in past cases. Owing to the fact
that a new coroner will take office
on January ], it is the desire to start
the period of his incumbency with
a clean slate. For the Jessup ford
bridge, $1,000. This sum in reality
was re-appropriated, the original APP
preparation having been made some
time ago but because Of a technical
error in the description of the bridge
in question, the wrong bridge being
described, the work could not be pro-
secuted. The matter was deferred
until yesterdays session of the coun-
ell and the amount re appropriated.
