Price OF SOFT COAL
RAISED FIFTY Per CENT
Local Dealers Claim Increase Is Due
to Operators.

Soft coal consumers learned yesterday
that after the first of April, and prob
abl for a year thereafter they will have
to pay 50 per cent more for this fuel
than heretofore.
Local wholesale and retail dealers in
this coal last night attributed the in
crease to the fact that their contracts
with coal mining operators have in
creased former quotations 100 per cent.
Speaking OF the threatened strike of
several hundred men employed on boats
bringing coal supplies to the Capital from
the upper Potomac region, dealers said
that probably some amicable adjustment
would be made in the matter soon and
any hardships resulting therefrom would
be "temporory."
The Federal Trade Commission has rul-
ed that the failure of coal dealers to
grant the usual spring reductions would
not be countenanced by 1t.

When an Editor Had Trouble

While Sunday afternoon was cold. the
sun was shining so brilliantly that
many motorists were unable to resist
the call of the roads. Among this
number was our contemporary, Editor
Bennett. Accompanied by his sister.
here from New York on a visit. Mr..
Bennett bad successfully negotiated
the West Side highways as far as the
lane leading by Rainbow ranch in the
Oak Grove district. Here he endeav.
ored to turn his car. The rear wheels
slipped of into a muddy ditch. The
editor was stuck.
The story of Mr.. Benefits utter cha.
grin and utter fatigue is told by A. S.
Evans, Of the Filz meat shop, who
With Mr.. Filz was touring the Oak
Grove district. For two hours Mr..
Bennett had vainly tried to release his
car from the grip of the mud. The
broken handle Of shovel bore mute
evidence Of energy gone for nothing.
Those who have heard the story are
now awaiting good road editorials from
one who has had experience.

THE LEGISLATURE

The twent-yninth Oregon legislative
assembly has certainly made q good
beginning. After week both houses
are we'll organized and have commenced
in a sane. well balanced manner the
usual grind of bills. The press dis
patches, telling of the activities Of the
solons, lack the sensations that some
times attend the meetings OF legis.
lators. 0regon's senators and repre-
sentatives have begun their task In a
businesslike manner. The personnel Of
the two bodies seems fortunately to be
lacking in any possible hysteria and we
may see the session ended with much
accomplished and without the usual
prolonged pickering.
The ntw "bone dry" law. one of the
necessary works of the legislature. has
been heralded. and will no doubt be in
effect in another 80 days. The draft.
ing of the measure is in the hands Of
DR.. J. E. Anderson, of The Dslles,
joint representative from Hood River
and Wasco counties. In its details the
measure will put into rational effect
the will of the people. but it will not
be hampered. apparently, by such over
radical restrictions as the search and
seizure" clause. which might in effect
win indirect support for doomed liking
