BORROWS FROM FACTORIES Withdrawal of Northern Pacific and Carbonado Mines From Field Makes tho Supply Precarious. Miners Are Kot Obtainable. SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 12. (Special.) The Great Northern Railway Company was compelled to beg from, manufactur ing plants enough coal on Saturday to send out one of Its regular passenger trains. A house-to-house canvass was made among the big plants, and even laundries were visited, in an effort to buy enough fuel to get No. 4 away on time. The train was sent out, but there was serious danger of delay for hours. Most of the manufacturing institutions were short of fuel themselves, and dared not part with any of their supply. Through the withdrawal of the Northern Pacific and Carbonado mines from the Se attle field the entire responsibility for the local trade has been thrown upon the Pacific Coast Company. That corporation increased its output during October by more than 12.030 tons over September and sold locally 60 per cent more coal than a year ago. Still the local demand could not be met, and big coal contracts cannot be handled by any of the operators. It is estimated that the Seattle coal con sumption has increased between 10 and 15 per cent over a year ago, and the withdrawal of big coal companies from thia fi.?ld has overloaded the companies still engaged in the trade. No Coal for Transports. The transport Dix is to sail November IS, and there is a great deal of nervous ness over fuel for her bunkers. The con tractors who outfit the boat have collect ed no coal and they must find a supply between the present timo and the date for the Dix's sailing. A few days ago a tug brought a tow into Tacorua. and before taking another vessel out to sea attempted to get coal at the Tacoma bunkers. There was none to be had and the tug with her tow came to Seattle. She was compelled to lie here four days before enough fuel could be had. Two steamships of the Grace fleet, en gaged in the South American trade, are coming here to load lumber and will have to take on coal. Thus far the agents for the boats have been unable to locate a dependable coal supply, and the vessels may be delayed in their departure. The Alaska Ileet, however, has been re duced and there will probably bo an in crease in the steaming coal output on the market as a result of the diminishing of the demand from that quarter. Even at Tacoma, where the Northern Pacific tries to take care of the local and steam coal trade, there is no fuel to be had for irregular linera. The British Co lumbia coal mines are worked to capacity and cannot supply any dollciency on this nide of the line. Efforts to get coal from Kastern fields have failed, because the demand there is as great as on this coast. Miners Not Obtainable. The coal shortage could be met in part. at least, were it possible for the operators to obtain miners. But every colliery in the country is working to capacity, and men cannot be brought info the state to increase the coal output. The process of developing miners is slow and retards the output of the mines in operation. When the Tenino mines resume work tinder a contract with the Pacific Coos Company to take tliolr output, an extra 200 tona a day will be added to the Se attle and Portland markets. At the same time the Pacific Coast Company will try to increase last month's record, and on these moves largely depends the improve ment in the local coal market. LONG DOCKET AT ALBAXY.

RULES AGIST RGBNETT IDAHO COURT HOLDS INDICT- MENT SUFFICIENT. Task of Securing a Jury Begun at Moscow Few Talesmen Are Qualified to Serve. MOSCOW, Idaho, Nov. 12. The se lection of a Jury in the Idaho land fraud cases began in the Federal Court here at 2 o'clock this afternoon. When adjournment was taken this evening the Government had examined five talesmen, one of whom was rejected for cause and four accepted without the exercise of the peremptory chal lenge, although this right later may be exercised by the District Attorney. It is believed that the entire day to morrow will be consumed in getting a jury and it is doubtful whether the panel will be completed before Wed nesday. It seems to be the policy of the prosecution, as far as possible, to exclude from the Jury men who have exercise their right to acquire land under the stone and timber act, and such men In the northern division, which includes the timber belt of the btate, are not numerous. On convening court this afternoon Judge Beatty overruled the demurrer to the complaint filed Saturday by the attorney for C .W. Hobnett. This de murrer went to the sufficiency of the complaint on the ground that Robnett's alleged offense is against a rule and regulation of the Interior Department, which requires that applicants for Gov ernment land under the stone and tim ber act must swear that they have actually been on the land they apply for, and not an offense against a stat ute. In the Rohnett case it is charged that the defendant procured two men, named Ferris and Robinson, to swear that they had been on the land ap plied for, though they had never been near it. The court held that the violation of this regulation constituted an offense against the law, basins his decision on several cases where the higher courts had held that the delegation of power to carry out the provisions of a stat ute is within the province of Con gress, and that such regulations be come in effect a part of the act itself and consequently enforclble by the courts. The judge admitted that these decis ions had not always been unanimous, bVit the preponderance of the prece dent had been sufficient to Justify an adherence to this rule. It was after the overruling of this demurrer that the work of empaneling a Jury be gan. Bids on Canby Work Opened. ASTORIA. Or., Nov. 12. (Special.)

J,We wish that there could be a good encyclopedia in the homes of. all our readers; first, because an encyclopedia is the most necessary and valuable work that mankind has ever pro duced; and, second, because no intelligent man or woman, especially those who have children growing up, can afford to be without one. The great obstacle heretofore in the purchase of an encyclo pedia has been PRICE. If it were not for the enormous cost of getting together such a vast amount of information, publishing it in suitable form, and selling it by high-priced agents, encyclo pedias would be as common as dictionaries. tj It is, of course, impossible to reduce the expense of compiling and publishing an encyclopedia, but it is a comparatively easy matter to cut down the selling expense itself an expenditure of no small magnitude by bringing the publisher and the pur chaser closer together.

S S S CURES ECZEMA1 The real cause for Eczema is the presence of humors and sour acids in the blood. These impurities get into the circulation because of imperfect action of those members of the system whose duty it is to collect and carry off the refuse and waste of the body. As this effete matter lies ia the system it ferments and generates acrid humors which are absorbed into the blood, overcharging this vital fluid with acid. In its effort to keep the sys tem healthy the blood throws off the humors through the pores and glands of the skin, causing this tormenting skin disease. The escape of acids and humors through the pores and glands irritates and burns the skin, producing pustules filled with a clear, 6ticky fluid, which dries in crusts and patches causing the most intense itching, and often pain. The trouble is in the blood, and S. S. S. is the remedy for Eczema, because it is a real blood purifier. It goes down into the circulation, removes all acids and humors and makes the blood rich, pure and healthy. When S. S. S. has done this the symptoms pass away, the blood is cooled and the disease cured permanently. Nothing acts so promptly or pleasantly in all 6kin diseases as S. S. S., and it is at the same time a fine tonic to the entire system. Book on Skin Diseases and medical advice free. TH swlFT SPECIFIG CO., ATLANTA, CA Old D r.
