severed his diplomatic relations
with the Tines and cancelled his
su description just because we
mentioned the fact that his
company was running short on
hal d coal and would be unable
to supply the local trade for the
balance of the season.
Now the information we re-
|ceived came from the Office of
the Northwestern Fuel com pany /,
as late as last Thursday morn-
ing. when we inquired as to the
amount of hard coal On hand and
were informed that the dock
estimate for the morning was in
the ne. e.gh borhood of fifteen tons.
Mr.. Gibson did not happen 10

nor was he present at the Office
when we inquired in person. but
the information given US came
from the young man clerk who
keeps the records at the office,
but of course after getting him.

the office he denies giving the
Information.
From the lam basting We got
over the telephone from Mr..
Gibson after he had read the
article one would think that we
had com mitted a grave error iii
reporting the fifteen tons of coal
for we were politely informed
that there was lots of coal en-
hand.
Knowing that Mr.. Gibson
would be present we called at
the Office of the Northwestern
Fuel company again after the
article had been published. and
this time we wanted information
right from the "chief" so that it
could not afterwards be denied
and after great deas of reluc-
tance we were fnally shown the
report for the morning. received
|fromsthe dock, which showed
just three more tons of nut coal
On hand than we had reported
the evening before, 18 tons to
be more exact. There mas not
been a pound of stove coal sold
for some time, but where we
got ourselves in had was through
our failure to report som ct hin
over two hundred tons of s'hard
coal dust and some 81 tons of
buckwheat coal which the report
showed to be on the dock.
We don't doubt that the young
man, reporting first, was about
right when he said there was
about fifteen tons Of hard coal
on hand, for he probably hadn't
figured that buckwheat coal
could be substituted or that in
case of a pinch" the people OF
Washburn could put the hard
coal dnst" through their stoves.
Ii the grades on buckwheat coal
have been scaled down the past
season as much as the grade on
the regular "nut" coal then we
can hardly see where the 90 tons
could be much more than dust.
We were also accused of lead
ling the people OF Washburn tt
believe that large amounts o1
coal had been shipped TO outside
points. We will let cur readers
figure this out for themselves
