Administrator
NO REDUCTION

Dealers Report Being Over
sold In Anthracite
Grades

Although the appointment has not
been made officially, it is understood
that Robert Blakemore, commissioner
of waterworks of the city of Fargo,
will be named fuel administrator for
Cass county.
The appointment will - come from
Captain p. Baker of Bismarck. who
was recently commissioned state fuel
administrator by the federal fuel ad-
ministration board at Washington,
d. c.
Answers Bakers Telegram.
Fuel Administrator Baker Wednes-
day afternoon wired a Fargo bust
ness man for information relative 10
the prices on anthracite and bitumin-
Gus coal in this city. 1t was suggest
ed that the telegram be turned over
to q man who would be well qualified
to furnish the information and who
could act in the capacity of fuel adj
ministrator for Cass county. Com
missioner Blakemore was suggested
and the telegram was referred to
him for reply. -
The fact that Captain Baker has
made inquiry as to the prices pre-
vailing in Fargo indicates that he
has already entered upon his duties
in connection with the work Of the
No Drop In Prices.
Fargo dealers stated this morning
that there have been no coal price
reductions in accordance with federal
regulations. One of the dealers stat
ed that it was more imperative to
get anthracite into the city than
to give the price matter attention
right now. With the advent of win
ter every dealer admitted he is
oversold in nut and stove coal. 1t
was estimated early in the fall that
there were about 500 tons of anthra-
cite in the city then.
In accordance with federal regula-
tions a Is to 75 per cent drop on prac-
tically all grades of coal was report
ed at Winona yesterday, the reduce
tions being the result of a visit to
that city Of G. o. Russell, an agent
Of the federal trade commission, who
conferred with all Winona dealers.
With the appointment of Captain
Baker of Bismarck. as state fuel adj
ministrator, it is very possible that
such a meeting will be held in Fargo
soon, at least coal dealers anticipate
such a move.
Heavy Coal Movement.
Duluth sent out a report this week
that the movement of coal from Lake
Erie COCKS 10 the hedu OF the lakes
is now the heaviest of the season,
and that the government is exercis-
ing a close control over tonnage. The
report stated that. sufficient coal
should be moved before the end Of
navigation to meet the needs Of, the
northwest.
Fargo dealers say that the bust
ness men Of the city are we'll sup
piled with coal and that it will be
the laborer, with no means to pur-
chase large quantity. who will be
hit should there be a shortage. 1t
has been stated that the coal stored
in the city now is heavier than any
previous year!

G. N. Trains Hit Hard.
Both Great Northern and Northern

Great Northern, known as the Red

at $40 o'clock, arrived four hours
tardy, and coast train No. of the
Great Northern, due at 1880 o'clock
Wednesday night, was reported due
at 1920 o'clock this morning with
indications then that it would be
about II hours late. No. 3. due at

The Great Northern sent out branch

Great Northern ticket Office regular
coast train No. was reported one

made up at Grand Forks.
Brisk Demand For Coal.
AS is usual. a sudden turn in
weather conditions is fraught with a
brisk demand for coal. Such was the
case this morning. local dealers re-
porting they were oyersold on orders
for stove and nut coal.
Snow fell all the way from Helena,
Mont. to Devils Lake. Wednesday

The Moorhead weather bureau re-
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-10-18

ported at the noon hour that the
total precipitation recorded from z
o'clock Wednesday evening until 2
O'Clock this morning amounted to
%. The soil is in need of the mois-
ture and is just what the valley and
the state need before a general
freeze-up. About so per cent of the
blowing in North Dakota is complet-
ed. Valley farmers claim about IS
per cent.
The snow is welcomed by the
hunters for il will drive down the
geese and the blueheads from the
north. The best pass shooting occurs
usually following a storm of this
nature and especially when it comes
so early in the fall, bringing down
the ducks at an early date, which
remain in the lakes and large sloughs
until films OF ice form over the wa
ter.
Heavy For This Time of Year.
The snow is heavy for this time Of
the year and comes at an unusually
early date. Two years ago, EASTERN
North Dakota and western Mime
sofa experienced just such a storm
10 days later. The storm was OF
short duration and was followed by
a period Of beautiful Indian summer
weather.
Mrs. Grasse Of the Moorhead
weather bureau, stated that she was
swamped with calls from Fargo and
Moorhead people during the morning.,
anxious to know if winter had set
in.
Wind Travelling At Good Clip.
The velocity of the wind at Z
o'clock this morning was officially
reported at 25 miles an hour. and
was increasing hourly. The Moorhead
weather bureau was unable to give
the extent of the storm, stating that
reports had not been received from
several of the weather bureau sta
tions. Two of the stations failing to
report up to the noon hour were
WiIliston and Winnipeg. Devils Lake,
Bismarck, Mandan, jamestown,
Grand Forks and Minot reported
snow and wind.
