WESTERN COAL MAY
BE SENT TO THE EAST

Fuel, coal particularly, that now
looks to Oregon and Washington
for markets will undoubtedly be d.
yerted east in an effort to overcome
to degree the estimated national
S5,OOO,OOO ton deficiency.
This is the opinion of Fuel Admin
istrator Holmes of Oregon, based on
information from Washington and
mis- knowledge of local conditions.
The recent visit of national fuel
administration officials to the Pa
cific northwest presages the enforce
Eent of fuel ration" order. This
is indicated by the fact that Holmes
already is making a survey OF the
state to ascertain the needs of the
various districts. In this regard,
Holmes states that he plans to allow
Eouseholders to order fuel, both wood
and coal, in unlimited quantities just
Sc long as possible.
When necessity demands, however,
he will curtail supplies, holding tha.
national needs, are superior to those

sential to winning the war.
