COAL SCARCE IN NORTH YAKIMA
Some Get Ton, Some BasketfuI and
Others go Away Empty-handed At.
ter Two Cars Are Received.

NORTH YAKIMA. Jan. S.-Two cars
of coal arrived today, and were gone
in few hours. During the distribu-
ton intense excitement prevailed
around the Northwestern Improvement
company's office. At one time fifty-six
teams were in line, and many were
waiting with sacks and baskets to get
small amounts. The company adj
vanced the price from $475 to S. An
effort was made to divide the precious
fuel in proportion to the needs of
those demanding share. Hotel pro-
prietors were given a full ton, while
a man who wanted a supply for his
home got 500 pounds, or, if he came
with sack, not more than 200 pounds.
The latter was charged 30 cents
hundred and shOveled the coal into
the sack himself
Many children, with little wagons
and handsleds, were in line. A num-
Der declared they had no fire in their
heating stoves at home l. B. Turnell
who made a raid on car a couple of
days ago. was on hand and given a
ton. A young man from twenty miles
in the country, who came for fuel for
a school, stood waiting two days. He
got small quantity.
The Northern Pacific's supply is
about exhausted and unless more ar
rives soon switch engines will be un-
able to continue work in the yards
here. So far as can be learned there
is no prospect of early relief The
wires are kept hot with messages to
the mines and to wholesale dealers in
every place from which coal could pos
sibly be obtained. but the constant cry
is that no cars are available for ship
ping COAL
Local wood dealers today purchased
the old Selah bridge, carried away by
the recent floods, and will convert it,
into cordwood, expecting to get about
one hundred cords. This being season
ed will be in great demand. Rumors
are current today that fuel is being
stolen in various parts of the city. No
cases. however, have been reported
to the police or county authorities.
No less than half dozen complaints
were made to the prosecuting attorney
today that wood dealers were sending
out short measure. A local harness
dealer made the statement he measur-
ed lot delivered to him, supposed to
be a cord. and found it trifle over
twO-thirds of cord. The prosecuting
declared he would ferret OUT
the dealers who practice sending out
less than the amount bought and see
that they are punished.

ALLOW SPOKANE TO SluMbER
1t Is Now Having a Dream About o.
ferins $4,000 for Fight Be-
tween Jeffries and Squires.

Spokane. if nothing else, is land of
dreamers and but few opportunities
tending to bring the Falls City into
the limelight are overlooked When the
two Chicago ball teams were about
to battle for the championship of the
world. Spokane, following in the foot
steps of Denver. came out with an Of
fer of thousands to bring the last game
to it's city. This pipe reverie was good
but the following one from the Spo-
kane Chronicle in which it is planned
to offer $50. 900 or SO. 900 for fight be-
tween Jeffries and Bill Squires, is a
veritable gem:
Can Jim Jeffries be brought to Spo-
kane? That is question that is agi-
tating number of people in this city
at the present time. 1t is not all
speculation, however, as it is stated
number of business men have al
ready pledged themselves to put up
the money if the S. A. A. C. will al
low the fight to be under its auspices.
This fact was brought to light to-
day by the statement of a couple of
directors of the s. A. A. C.. who &C
knowledged that the proposition had
been made them, they believe in good
faith, by prominent business and pro-
fessional men of the city. Just how
far the plan has advanced is not well
known. as the project is being car
ried on in secrecy.
The offer made these directors is
that the business men shall put up the
money for fight between Jeffries
and Squires. guaranteeing from $780,
900 to $4,000 for the fighters, leaving
the athletic club no responsibility. The
S. A. A. G. is asked to have the bat
tie under the auspices of the club, ONE
reason being that these business men
do not want their names used in con-
nection with the match.
This secrecy is being observed as
the names of the business men con-
cerned are not made public by the
members of the board who have been
approached. 1t is figured that the
club could take hold of the champion
ship battle and could conduct it in a
proper manner. Their method of con-
Quoting it would not be interferred
with by the promoters. but the money
would be furnished the club.
No definite arrangement has been
made. as yet. and the proposition has
not been made in an official way, but
it is asserted that everything is ready. |
if the club will act favOrably. and if
Jeffries will come and meet Squires
the club will be given the chance. if !
the directors want it.
The men back of the deal are said |
to be backing the proposition for
several reasons One is that no money
will be lost by giving such guar
antee. Then there is the desire to see
these two men meet, and to have the
fight in Spokane as an advertisement.

an East Indiaman.
This poop is haunted. The sailor
who told me of the ghosts was one of
the ships quartermasters On one
passage, when the snip was in the
tropics. he had the middle watch be-

He had hardly taken his gear in

shock that he had oversight himself

was now half past 5, since they were
washing decks; that he hadn't been to
muster and that he would get a bee
in his ear, if nothing worse, for going
on deck to sleep without leaving word
where he could be found. AS he got
up he saw that the boatswain and the
hands took no notice of him. though
one of the sweepers looked in his di

He was a red-headed fellow said
