SCHOOL CLOSES..N0
COAL TO Be HAD

The Bowbells schools were closed
Monday evening Oh ACCOUNT sf lack
of coal and will not be opened again
until a new supply of fuel arrives.
The contract for supplying the To-
cal school with coal is held by q
Noonan firm, and although the
basement Of the building was filled
last fall, the supply gave out about
two weeks ago. The school board
was able to get a few tons of soft
coal, but this is all used up, and
the building will remain closed un-
til a new supply can be gotten.
There ia greater coal shortage In
this section of the state than there
has been for ten years. There is
hardly anyone in either city or
country that has more than q few
days supply on hand. The people
living on the branch lines are even
worse off than any others. The
Ambrose train has not run for
about three weeks, and all provi-
sions are running low. Most Of
the other necessities could be got
ten along without in some way, but
the people want coal before any
thing else. The people at and near
Northgate were out OF coal during
the last ten days, and the Great
Northern turned over 1900 tons
which II had on hand in 500 pound
lots to the people. The school
houses in practically all parts Of
the county had each a small supply
Of coal on hand. but this was tax
Ell by those residing nearby, and
most OF the schools Of the county
are closed. Most OF the people
bought what they thought enough
coal to last them all winter last
fall, but owing to the fact that the
long spell OF extremely cold wealth
or came on they used double the
amount Of fuel they would use in
ordinary winters. The large
amount OF snow tied up the trains,
and things are iii bad shape. The
mines at the lake; are: also pretty
we'll showed under and It is8 only
with great din 1cllty that coal can
sbe gotten.
