Winter Coal /, to BE scarce.

Coal which we had been saving
and carefully boarding for winter in
our sheds here has been drawn upon
and we must attempt to make some
kind Of preparation for the coming
cold months" stated j. l.. Hughes
of the Artificial Ice and Cold Storage
company, who left Friday for the
Sound.
Outing the summer months Presi-
dent Howard Elliott and other North
ern Pacific officials warned the peo-
PIE to buy coal for winter, as when
the later fan arrived every available
engine would be tied up drawing the
wheat and other commodities.
q have no doubt that the present
scarcity Of coal in the cities is d.
rectly due to lack Of locomotives and
lower. The boilermakers' strike ev'
IDENTIFY has something TO do with 1t,
but I am certain it is not as a re-
suit of lack Of coal at the mines.
81 am confident we can secure coal
on the Sound. but the question arise
rs to our ability to got into the city.
We are somewhat doubtful about thu
railroad company's capacity for haul
ing the coal, and consequently the
city may be left up against it.
"Now, we had several hundred tons
of coal in our bunkers which we had
hoped to keep until January, at least.
but it is now being drawn on.
"The annual consumption OF coal
in North Yakima is about 10000
tons. The bulk Of this IS of course
used during the next five or six
months. There are merely several
hundreds of tons of coal in the city
now. There YOU are!
"The talk Of car shortage I do no
exactly believe in. as we see scores
of empty cars daily which could be
easily utilized for coal We hope to
see large quantities OF coal in North
