NO COAL IN SIGHT.
Local Fuel Situation No Better Than
II Was Two Weeks Ago.

The coal situation in Pendleton has
not been relieved any this week, al
though the dealers are daily expect
ing TO receive shipments. Practically
no coal is to be had at all, and people
are forced to use wood and slabwoOd.
The plan TO have British Columbia
coal shipped here does not seem to
meet with enthusiasm with consum-
ers, as the price will be beyond the
means of many. 1t is understood that
the freight charges on coal from Al
berta will be considerably higher
than obtain for shipments from other
districts, and of course the price of
coal would be necessarily greater.
The o. r. e y. seems to be putting
forth efforts to relieve the situation,
but so far no announcement has been
made that coal will be shipped to this
point in the immediate future.

REV. HALL AT BAKER CITY.
Highly Complimented as Preacher
and Singer.

The two weeks series Of nightly re-
vival meetings to be held the next fort
night at the First Baptist church Of
Baker City, says the Baker City Her
aid, opened last evening most auspi-
ciously by Rev. G. Leroy Hall of
Pendleton, who preached in the alb
sence of Rev. w. H. Gibson of La
Grande. who was unable to be pres
ent. The services last evening were
of an Introductory nature and were
calculated as a preparation for those
which are to following during the
two weeks series. The singing was
led by Mr.. Hall, who is noted for his
ability as a vocalist and who will 'ad
in the singing throughout the series
of meetings.
Mr.. Hall is a most pleasing and a
convincing pulpit speaker, and his ar
guments last evening carried with
them the conviction of an earnest
Christian worker. Tonight the sub
iect of the revivalist will be, "Cha l.
nels of Power" and at the close of
the service a beautiful and appropri-
ate solo will be rendered. The pub
lie will be most cordially welcomed
during the series of sermons.
