AS expected. Directum I, making
his debut on a western track, romped

time in the first heat by Flower Di-

the wire without exerting himself. The

SAY DEALERS Are
NOT BUYING COAL
DULUTH FIRM or COAL SHIP
PERs WRITES OPEN LETTER TO
THE NORTHWESTERN COAL
TRADE-Docks FACING sERI-
Gus SITUATION.

The Forum is in receipt of the fol-
lowing letter from a Duluth coal
firm:
Coal is not moving into the interior
rs freely as had been expected and
with the close Of navigation only four
months off, storage space for btu
minous coal is RAPIDLY filling up. I'm
less the trade wakes up to the seri-
of the situation, a shortage
of soft coal is bound to result be-
fore new coal is received in the spring.
Another important reason why the In
terror should stock every pound of
bituminous coal possible during the
next sixty to ninety days, is the pros
pective suspension of mining opera
tons next spring in the bituminous
ields. The miners agreements expire
April l and sixty days may elapSe be-
fore new mes can be drawn and rati-
fields. The miners agreements expire
coal must, therefore, be brought up
this fall to tide over these two months
in the spring.
In order to stock sufficient coal at
the head of the lakes to run through
until next June, it must move off the
docks faster than it is received during
titO ISAl SlAey udySs u liz OtIlST WUEuS
additional storage space can only be
made by rehandling some of the local
now in stock to provide additional
storage room.
This matter is being given much
publicity by the railroads in the north
west, they having had their repre-
s%entatives on the ground and every
opportunity be given to make a care
full survey of the situation. The
circulars that the railroads are send
ing out urging you to buy your coal
early, resulted from this investiga-
ton.
You car assist in this matter by
getting our local papers to give it all
possible publicity which may have the
effect of stimulating the buying pub
lie. ... '
1t is the desire of the coal COM
panies to avoid a famine in soft coal
this winter and it can only be done
with your assistance. Soft Goa is
not going to be any cheaper SO a
good stock at present prices is a good
investment. Will you please give this
matter your careful consideration and,
If possible, act quickly.
