FUEL SUPPLY AT
 FAIRBANKS SERIOUS

FAIRBANKS, Dec 21,-With the weather severe, fifty degrees below zero being registered, Fairbanks faces the most scerious fuel situation in it's history. The Northern Commercial Company, which furnishes heating for the greater part of the business sec tion of the town, which also furnishes pressure for the municipal light and power, and which annually uses 5000 cords of wood had only forty cords in the yards,
 All the wood on hand is ten miles from Fairbanks and conditions are so that the wood men can only haul one load per day, during the extreme weather which has been in progress for the past week.
 Teamsters refuse to go to the woods and several hundred houses are fac ing serious problems.
 Those who have few sticks are un- able to induce the wood sawyers to work, so that these people, including professional and business men, are forced to resort to the bucksaw.
 Unless the cold lets up within the next few days, there is certain to be a great deal of suffering.
