Not only in Pendleton and eastern
are there almost certain signs of
severe fuel famine. Fuel dealers all
over the country are having difficulty
in securing coal now and In many
plices they will accept no more or
ders whatever.
The Walla Walla Union says of
conditions in that city:
That Walla Walla as we'll as every
city and town in this section of the
state is liable to a repetition of n
fuel shortage during the coming win
ter is certainty. The management
of the mines that supply the north
west with. coal are urging the news
papers to take the matter of supply
and demand up and lay the facts be-
fore the public.
C. r. Claghorn, manager Of the
Northwestern Improvement company,
who operates mines that supplied the
larger portion of coal to the retail
dealers of southeastern Washington
during 1907, in a letter to Loney &.
company of this city says "There is
every indivation that the demand for
coal this winter will far exceed the
available supply and dealers should
vigorously take up the question of the
requirements and endeavor to be pre-
pared to cope with such an emer-
genoy.
For your own benefit and the ben
eft OF the consumer we suggest that
you take the matter up with the
leading papers of your city, urging
all who are concerned to put in their
and avoid d repetition of the unpre-
oedented conditions of last winter"
This statement summarizes the
condition and comes from a disinter-
ested source. The Northwestern I'm
provement company hae contracted
with the Northern Pacific railway for
their entire output of 1000 to 5000
tons a day and will not under any
circumstances be in a position to sup
ply any part of the domestic demand.
Local dealers are generally laying
in supplies that will be sufficient for
the demands. The mines have made
practically no concessions on prices
this wear, nor are they soliciting any
summer business where every summer
heretofore they have had men in the
field soliciting orders.
Most of the mines are operating
at full capacity and are booked with
orders that will take care of their
output up to July 81 at least, and
many OF the mines are not accepting
orders for summer delivery.
Why public institutions and con-
Germs that require a large tonnage OF
fuel to tide them over the winter, are
looking on the conditions with such
apparent indifference, albeit many
are still shivering from the effects OF
last winters shortage. is a problem
that is perplexing the dealers.

Colorado may not have any Pc
cuniary aid from the federal gov
ernment for. its national guard after
six more months, says the Denver
News. This seems implied by an or
der from the federal government re-
ccived by Governor Buchtel. which Is,
in It's general character, the same as
has been sent to all chief executives
of states.
The militia must he up to army
regulations, under the Dick bill, If it
is to receive any such aid. At pres
ent the Colorado national guard is
materially aided by moneys paid over
to the state by the federal govern
ment.
On the subject in hand, the orders
from Washington received by Cover
nor Buchtel say:
The new law will have far-reach-
ing effect upon the national guard
of the country, for in few states do
the organizations at present corres-
pond with those of the regular serv-
ice. The most important change re-
quired probably will be in the great
increase in the number of men in
companies and regiments, for 1t is a
fact that in many states, so-called
regiments of militia, instead of be-
ing 1900 strong, as they should be
to meet modern service demands,
