THREATENED WOOD
FAMINE AVERTED
DEALERS HAVE RECEIVED FEW
CARS AND EXPECT GOOD
SUPPLY.

Grand Forks, M. d., Nox. 21.-The
wood famine with which Grand Forks
mas been threatened was broken TEN
lorariiy when four cars OF wood were
received by retail dealers.
For the past two weeks there ha
been an extreme shortage Of wood
and In spite OF all efforts made bv the
1uel men, they were only able TO Sc
cure few cars. The latter part OF
me week there was no wood shipped
into the city.
saturday night two cars were re-
ceiyed ana today four more cars cf
JACK pine were received in the CITY
dealers state that what has been re-
ceiyed will last but few days. but be-
lieve that more viii be secured from
now on and that the threatened fam
inc IL broken.
numerous reasons have been given
Tor the shortage All OF the dealers
agree that there was less wood cut in
ths past summer than usual and that
much Of that which was cut was pur-
chased In large quantities by the twin
city dealers. Another reason is that
the wood which has been cut is some
distance from available railroad con-
nections and that facilities for getting
II out Tor shipment have been few ow-
ing 70 the lack Of snow that would
make hauling easier
Inc railroad company has also been
blamed for the shortage for lack of
cars Railroad men, however, state
That they have been furnishing all the
cars that have been called for but thar
the wood Is located away from the
lines and 1t is hard to get at.
