For three days O'Hara has been suffer

For these three days he has eaten nothing
but few crackers which he bought at a

about the city.
Several times the unhappy man has

ghostly pursuers show up.
O'Hara appeared twice at the police sta

chief of police to save him from the
prisoners and even attempted TO get to
the mayor with his troubles.

partment for the c. w. Hull company, said
Friday morning that coal shortage in
Omaha was inevitable. He said his COM
pany was we'll supplied with coal for do

hand for the use of the big manufacturing
plants that depended upon steam COAL
for their fuel
I'VE have 5000 tons OF steam coal on

when a real shortage comes. said Mr..
Swift. There is no indication that we will
receive any shipments from the mines for
some time and can depend upon nothing
until the strike of the miners is settled
The big concerns OF the city use an enor-
nous amount OF coal and our little handful
will mean nothing when the crisis comes"
Other wholesale dealers are in the same
predicament and do not encourage the be-
lief that there will be any relief until the
troubles between the mine owners and the

essary.
TIM tests of the ground failed to indicate
a big pocket OF quicksand which has been

COAL SUPPLY RUNS SHORT
Strike at the Mines Stops Shipments
to Omaha Dealers.
STEAM COAL DOUBLES IN PRICE
indications Are that While There
is Plenty of Coal for Use in
Homes, steam Coal is
Scarce.

Omaha faces the possibility OF coal
shortage in June.
on account of the strike at the mines
that supply Omaha dealers, shipments of
bituminous coal are not being made and
the supply on hand in the yards of the
Omaha dealers has dwindled until there is
hardly enough to last thirty days.
This only effects the users OF what is
termed as steam coal'-coal that is used
to run the big manufacturing plants Of the
city
Plenty of coal is available in Omaha for
domestic use in the households.
Omaha gets most of its coal from the
mines of southern Kansas. Iowa and Illl-
nois, and with the present strike on, with
no indication OF a settlement, the large
users of fuel for power are liable to be
up against a serious problem within a few
weeks.
Some Of the big plants of the city have a
supply on hand but the daily drain upon
these resources is making the users stop
and consider the situation seriously.
No shipments are being received by the
dealers OF the city who have contracts to
furnish fuel to the big institutions and
il is not known when a supply can be de-
pended upon.
Price Nearly Doubles.
The price OF coal used for power has in
creased from 50 to 100 per cent since the
first OF April and there is no encourage
ment offered that this price will be low
cred. In fact, from the present status OF
the situation It is thought that the market
will have an upward tendency. On Apri
! first the price Of steam coal" was quoted
at 81 per ton at the mines. but today the
price ranges from $3.50 to 500, with the

ORCHARD HEATING.

TT OW alert and active the managers of
l. Il the Western Railway Companies The gen
eral passenger agent of the Oregon Short Line
has issued an interesting circular descriptive OF
"Orchard heating, an outline on the Smudge Pot
method with suggestions f6r protecting ana saw
ing fruit crops from spring frosts7 The art-
Gle is well written and the author thinks there
is way in which crops can be protected from
late spring frosts.
The damage to the fruit industry by these
frosts is estimated at fifty per cent of the an
nual cropl Experiments have been made in
orchard heating in the Great Valley of Colorado,
and it is said that it is possible to maintain
safe temperature in orchards when the natural
temperature is twenty degrees above zero or
even lower. During the danger period of 1900,
the circular says the orchards of the valley
heated and a crop of fruit valued at 100000
was saved and marketed The fruit would have
been almost totally destroyed by the cold snap
had it not been for the heating system. About
seventy per cent of the orchards in the valley
were heated and the trees that were so pro-
tected bore fruit while on the unprotected ones
there was no crop.
AS result of these experiments it is argued
that fruit growers will have to protect their
orchards by heating if they want to be success
full In the Colorado Valley the experiments
show that heating is necessary from three to
EIGHT nights 1t is estimated that the cost OF
heating equipment for ten acres of orchard is
about $500 but the expense after the first year
is less They value fruit crop in Colorado at
$500 an acre and it is pointed out that the cost
OF the insurance Of the crop by the heating ap-
paratus is a small sum.
In the days when peach growing Aourished in
this state many farmer would have borne the
expense figured in the circular if it would have
prevented the destruction of his peach crop. He
would have been money in pocket. Occasionally
some farmers during the cold nights would build
fires in their orchards but this was not the
usual practice 1t was seldom done.
Perhaps if peach growing can be revived TO
anv considerable extent in Delaware the heat
ing method may be tried, but it is now if the
fruit escapes the bghtng frosts, that fact does
not guarantee sure crop. There are the June
drop and numberless diseases to take the life
out of the trees and destroy the fruit Just as It
seems TO be safe
