FUEL famine IS MUCH FEARED
UNCLE GAM ls ASKED TO sEcoME
Interested.
Railroads Desire That Steps Be Taken
That Will 0bviate 4 Winter
Coal Shortage.

Washington Strenuous measures
have been adopted, both by the gov
ernment and by the railroads. to avert
a fuel famine in the west and north
west, which is thought to be impend-
ing next winter. Howard Elliott.
president of the Northern Pacific
railroad. recently wrote to C0mmis-
sioner Lane of the Interstate Com
merce commission, suggesting the
probability of a fuel famine in the
west and northwest next winter that
might exceed In its serious possibil-
tiles the famine os last winter. He ad-
vised that every effort be made by the
cluding the government, to lay in sup
plies of coal during the summer
months, pending the movement of the
crops IN the carly autumn. Ccmmis-
sioner Lane Immediately took the
matter up with Secretaries Garfiell
and Taft. urging that coal supplies at
all depots of the government be put
in at as early date as possible. The
subject was considered at the last cab
met meeting held before President
Roosevelt left for Oyster Bay, and it
was decided tina: the suggestion should
be adopted.
, Secretary Garfield wrote to Com
missioner Lane in response to let
ter which the commissioner had writ
ten him on the subject. his letter
containing this paragraph:
Il beg to acknowledge your letter CT
June 7th, with the enclosure from the
president of the Northern Pacific. His
sugges lion regarding fuel is an admir-
able one, and will be acted upon by
the departments"
Commissioner Lane has received
from Montana. circular, which the
commission has issued. respecting an
Investigation into the subject of the
coal supply now In sight and to be
available for the use of citizens Of
Montana during the winter months of
1907 and 1908. The inquiry shows that
coal shortage exceeding that of the
past winter is not only possible, but
probable, unless steps are taken to
avert it. and the commission advises
the people to put in their supplies of
coal at the earliest possible date.
