BIG COAL FAMINE
FEARED THIS FALL
From Texico Democrat.

From Texico Democrat.
The coal dealers over the country
are shivering in fear of a coal famine
this fall and winter, and there seems
to be no way out of it. Railroads are
said to be gobbling up the entire out
put of many Southwestern mines, and
storing it for winter use, and jobbers
and retail dealers are having a hard
time now in getting enough to supply
the daily demand. They are finding
it virtually impossible to secure large
supplies to store for the winter sales.
Texico, as well as other towns and
cities in New Mexico and Texas, may
prepare for a "f~reeze-out" at n time
this fall or winter, for coal is going
to be hard to get.
Throughout the entire summer the
railroads of the southwest have beer
so as to suffer no inconvenience by
eason of the scarcity. Last winter
heavy freight traffic was ~interfered
with to a certain extent by the short.
road found it necessary to confiscate
cars of coal unsigned to firms and in
dividuals in order to keep wheels NOV
ing. But nearly every road is prepared
for a shortage this winter, provided
supplies can be secured at short in
terva1s to supplement the stored sup
plies.

Down Timber Goes to Waste Because
Law Forbids Sale.

money going to waste in Klickitat
county owing TO departmental methods
and red tape, as we'll rs to the fact Of
there being no law under which action
can be taken. Last spring severe
storm passed through this country,
telling an immense number Of trees,
practically all the timber in two town
chips being razed. This timber Is on
the ground, Is rapidly bluing and un-
less something is done by which 1t can
be utilized it soon will be worthless for
lumber purposes. There is a sale for
this timber, but the lumber companies
are afraid to touch It, as the home
steaders upon whose land 1t is lying
have not in all cases commuted their
claims and II they should abandon them
after selling the down timber, the
