NO NEED OF WORRY
OVER COAL FAMINE
Dealers Say There Is Shortage but
All Customers Can be Taken
Care or.

THAT a shortage in the supply of
coal exists at present no one can deny"
said George G. Smith. of the Martin
Coal company, this morning, but that
g. coal famine will follow IS not likely.
December is always a bad month in the
coal business, partially on account of
the holiday the miners take during
the holidays and the inability to move
coal freight as rapidly as desirable by
the railroads. but the people are not
suffering. although deliveries arc more
difficult from the fact that the dealers
can get only the mine run of coal.
which they have to screen themselves.
at n loss. In order to give their GUS
toners coal which they can use. The
dealers certainly lose on the game, for
the reason that they are not prepared
to screen the mine run, which consists
OF lump, nut and slack coal all dumped
in together. There is no danger OF a
coal famine, In my estimation, and the
Shortage will ease up early in Janu-
ary."
This opinion was borne out by Mr..
Critchlow. manager of the Western
Fuel company. 1T is true we arc
Short of coal, said Mr. Crtchlow
But this Is always the case at this
time of year. Nobody has suffered yet,
as far as | can ascertain, and the yards
are doing everything in their power
to avert a famine. There are many
cars of coal coming in every day over
the railroads. and the shortage will
hardly last until after the holidays"
From the Oregon Short Line officials
II was given out that coal trains are
being moved as rapidly as the business
of the road Will permit Before we
will permit a famine in coal in this
city," said one operating official. this
morning, we will side track all other
business and run In a few trainloads
of coal. The people need not worry"
