CRANCEV|LLE FACES SHORTAGE Of
STOVE WOOD; l400 CORDS NEEDED

People Of Grangeville and vicinity
will require 1900 cords of stove-wood to
last them until next spring, in the
opinion of officers at the Grangeville
office of the Nezperce National forest,
who are taking an inventory of the
wood now on hand, and gathering es-
Inmates of the amount that yet must
be procured to keep the people from
freezing. There is shortage of 400
cords, the foresters conclude.
Estimates are based on replies from
inquiries sent to consumers by the for
est office, more than a week ago. AL
ready enough replies have been receiv-
ed so that Supervisor McHarg and his
assistants are able to make con-
servative estimate of requirements here,
so far as consumption of fuel is con
cerned. The forest service, because of
an anticipated coal shortage, and diff
culties in transportation, is urging the
substitution of wood for coal, wherever
adequate wood supplies are available.

that wood can in practically every case
be substituted for coal in Grangeville.
The local office of the forest service
concludes that of the 1900 cords of
wood to be burned in Grangeville and
vicinity this winter 220g cords already
have been delivered to the consumer,
while wood cutters and haulers are in
possession of 500 cords of dry wood,
which they are rapidly delivering to
the consumer. Basiug further eonclu-
sions ON the foregoing estimates, the
forest office asserts there is shortage
of 400 cords. In other words lace
more cords of wood must be chopped
and delivered to consumers here, in
order to affect material saving on
coal
1t is the plan of the forest service
to devise methods by which the 400
or more cords of wood can be obtain
ed from the Nezperce National forest
and Ideliyereato consumers in Grange
vile. Arrangements for providing this
wood with which to meet the shortage
have not yet been perfected.
