COAL MEN SEE FAMINE.
Shortage in Chicago Due to Scarcity of
cars-say Drop in Mercury Would
Bring Actual Suffering Railroads
Too Poor to Purchase Cars.

Chicago, Oct. 26.-Chicago is facing
the most serious coal famine since 1902
Coal yards are almost empty, the sup
ply coming into the city being about
equal to the demand. A sudden drop in
the temperature would result in actual
suffering in a week, according to the
opinions of coal operators.
Shortage of cars on the railroads is
held responsible for the present condi-
tions. The Indiana coal fields were
practically Idle yesterday, tho the de-
mand for coal is such that the mines
could all be worked their full capacity
The reason for the suspension was
lack of coal cars on the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois railroad.
The Southern Indiana, the Illinois
Central and the Big Four roads are all
in the same predicament and can not
supply cars to keep the mines run
ming. The Illinois Central is said to
be running but but go per cent of its
usual equipment.
Conferences on Situation.
Indiana coal operators are coming
here tomorrow for conference with
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois rail-
road officials to see if there is any way
Of relieving the situation. The Illinois
operators also are after the railroads
and have been pleading for more cars
for the past two weeks. MANY of the
mines in Illinois are not working to
their full capacity because there is not
a sufficient supply Of cars to haul the
coal to the markets. On account of the
strike in the coal fields all summer,
which kept the supply down to actual
demand, buyers were unable to stock
up their yards, as has been the custom
in past years.
"The situation is nothing short of
alarming" said T. j. O,Gara of the
O'Gara Coal Company. the largest pro-
ducing concern in Illinois, last night.
I'VE could turn out more coal IL we
had the cars. and other companies are
in the same fix. I do not believe there
Is weeks supply Of coal In hand In
Chicago. and what will happen II there

AVERAGE RENTER LOSES MONEY
EVERY YEAR, HE SAYS
Only by Denying Himself All Luxuries
Does tho Farmer Manage to Live.
Wallace cIaims-Says Ownership OF
Automobile is Not Evidence of Pros
perity, But That the Children Work.

Chicago, Oct 26.-That railroads get
better returns on their investment thah
the farmer was the position taken at
the rate hearing today when the ship
pers put H. c. Wallace, of Des Moines.
on the stand as their first witness. MIR.
Wallace is farmer and editor and
president of the national conservation
congress.
Wallace entered into detailed state
ment of the value of crops and land.
and the cost of farm labor in l907-S-9.
From his statistics he showed the av-
erage renter of a farm lost about $500
per year, and that it is only by denying
himself all luXuries that the farmer has
been able to make a fair living. The
apparent loss sh own is overcome by the
farmer getting work done by his chill
dren, he said.
As to Automobiles.
Wallace, responding to an inquiry OF
Commissioner Lane, said he did not
know how many Iowa farmers owned
autom obiles, but there probably We're
many, but 1t did not Indicate property.
The farmer who. with his children.
does the farm work. is the one who can
buy automobiles. Discussing the inn
poverishment OF the soil, Wallace said
that the fertility loss of a 16o acre
farm is s467 a year.
The grain raised and sold In Iowa
is actually selling the state piecemeal.
and this can not continue indefinitely"
said the witness. The land will be
exhausted in time just as a coal vein
is exhausted" The exodus Of young
men from the farms was partly due to
their desire to secure cheap lands in
other sections of the country, Wallace
said.

Fires Are Believed to be Of Incend-
iary Nature.
Forest fires are raising havoc with
some of the finest timber in French
Gulch. They have practically des-
troyed the timber claim of w. j.
Kelley and he estimates his loss at
$4,000. The fires started Tuesday
and a son of Mr.. Kelley states that
Monday night he saw a man prowl-
ing around the woods and it is his
belief that this prowler started the
fires. Strenuous efforts were made
to quench the fires on Mr.. Kelley e
land but to no avail. until they had
devastated nearly his whole place.
They are about under control at the
present time but with a little wind
they would soon break out anew.
