FUEL FAMINE IS UNLIKELY SUPPLY FT"ILY EQUAIi TO THE DEMAND. Trices Kematn the Same, With Ex ception of Green Slabwood, lhlch Costs Less. The difficulties which were experienced last year by householders la the matter of fuel supply are not likely to be re peated during the present season. Profit ing by the hardships of an unusually se vere Winter, large supplies of wood and coal were stored during the Summer months. Economy changes have made it possible for the railroads to ship Jn large quantities of fuel; so that, with the ex ception of dry slab wood, the market is well supplied. An unually mild "Win tor, too. has had the effect of reducing the demand. Coal dealers aver that the Facitic Coast market is overstocked and few orders are coming in. Orders for fuel are being" sent out al most as soon as received. With the sin gle exception of green slabwood, prices, however, have not been reduced. Owing to the heavy demand during the Summer, there is but little dry slabwood now in the market. The price ts J4.75 per load, which i a little less than a cord. Green slabwood. of which there is a large sup ply at the present time, is selling at from to S3 a load. Should the mills resume operations In the near future, these prices will be further reduced. The green flab wood has been cut only about two months and Is hardly satisfactory for domestic use. Henry Barendrick, president of the Al bina F"uel Company, . whea asked regard ing the furl situation, said: "The de mand for fuel has been rather light all Winter. Thts is accounted for by the exceptionally mild wether and the fact that we havs only green slabwood. Our supply of dry slabwood was exhausted some tlm ago. The reason for the small amount was that one of the largest mills Irour whom formerly received a large supply now uses most of Its slabwood In generating electric power." M. C. Banfleld, president of the Ban-field-Veysey Fuel Company, yesterday said In reference to fuel: "The consumption oi fuel this 'Winter is only a third of what is was last year. Several of the "large business blocks which burned four and five cords of wood a day now use only one or two cords." Robert J. Linden, president of the Sum mit Coal Mining Company, gave the fol lowing opinion as to the coal consump tion: "The demand for coal is very light." said Mr. Linden. "On account of the coal famine last year, dealers imported a large amount from abroad. This Is now on the market and will have to be used up. We have had no cold weather to speak of and most householders put in reserve supplies last Summer; so there is little doing In the coal business at the present time, and will not be, unless there Is a change in the weather. There is nothing to be gained by reducing prices, as the conditions prevailing are due to an oversupply and not to prices quoted." Veteran Is Mustered Out. Lorenxo Winters, a veteran of the Civil War and a pioneer of Powell Valley, died at his home In Gresham a few days ago and the funeral was held under the auspices of M. A. Ross, O. A. R., of which he had been a member. Rev. David Wolfe, also a veteran,: delivered an ap propriate sermon. He was "2 years old. and came to the United States from his home In Germany in 1840. During the war he served as a member of Company K. in the Eighth New York Cavalry. He moved to Powell Valley SO years ago, where he lived until a few years ago when he took lip his residence In Gres ham. He was well known to the early settlers of Powell Valley, and was always ready to extend help to the needy. He is survived by the following children: Mrs. Bllia X Metzger, Mrs. Anna M. Gibbs, Roy L. Winters. Willie, Ruth, Maggie and Johnnie Winters. John Winters, a brother. lives at Apulia Station. N. Y., and Mrs. Lv A. Mclntire, a sister, lives at Hastings, Mich. KISER CAT.KNIAKS Its rr.

Wedding Bells Ring for Silas I Pearle Goulet and Mr. Frank McGettlgan, of Telegram. Cupid's slaughter of hearts in the ranks of the editorial staff of the Even ing Telegram continues without abate ment. Bight victims, two of them so ciety editors, within the brief period of one year Is his record In this one news paper sanctum, the last raid of the lit tle bowmen netting him two members of the staff at one shot. The victims were Frank MoGettigan, special assign ment man, and Miss L. Pearle Goulet, society editor. These popular young people were made man and wife at noon yesterday at the home of the bride's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Goulet. S64 Gantenbein avenue. State Circuit Judge C. U. Gan tenbein, a friend of both contracting parties, performed the ceremony, which was simplicity itself, and was witnessed only by the attendants of the bride and groom and the Immediate relatives of the bride. Mr. David W. Hazen. maga zine editor of the Evening- Telegram, was best man. and the bride was attended by her sister,' Miss Ruble A. Goulet. a teacher In the public schools of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Goulet. the par ents, and Miss Golda M. Goulet. sister of the bride, were the only other per sons present. The bride is a talented musician, pos sessing a fine soprano voice, and has ap peared in many recent amateur recitals. She is also very popular among the younger social set. She expects to con tinue in newspaper work, in which she gives promise of high attainment. Mr. McGettlgan, the groom, is one of the best known newspaper writers on the Coast and comes from one f the' best famlles of San Francisco. During his newspaper career he has been emptoyed on the staffs of the San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Bulletin, the Oakland Tribune, the Los Angeles Ex aminer, the Los Angeles Nerws, and the San Diego Sun. -or a time he was connected with the Associated Press office at Los Angeles. A wedding breakfast was served, fol lowing the ceremony, and the young couple left for a short honeymoon at Seaside, last night. They will make Portland their future home. Debate Japanese Question. , A team from the Gresham High School will hold a debate with, the Clatskanie Hlgh School February T, on the following question: "Resolved, that the United MAKER OF 251 WASHINGTON STj. PORTLAND OREGON.'' MENS CLOTHSS States Government should exclude from the country all Japanese other than stu dents and travelers." The Gresham de baters will have the affirmative of the question and the Clatskanie team the negative. Harrinmn Lines Reduce Forces. Owing to a falling off In business, the Harriman lines are reducing their forces In this city. Not only operating forces are being curtailed, but office men are being dropped as well. Engine and train crews were the first to be affected by the falling off in traffic, and a number were laid off until better times. How ever, clerical help Is also feeling the re sults of the slump in traffic, and as men are no longer needed to look after the business of the lines, they are being dis missed. Stenographers and clerks in the general offices in the Wella-Fargo build ing are being laid off, as their services are no longer needed.

My Dear Sirs: I am very glad to learn that there Is In Portland a firm courageous enough to fight the iniquitous Beef Trust and too manly to surrender even when (as I have no doubt is the case) the Inducements were tempting. It is a good thing to know that we do not all of us have to submit to commercial tyranny. When I was Investigating the Trust I was convinced that men with courage, enterprise and pe.sist ence could beat It in any good Amer ican community. It ought to be beat en; there is no doubt about that. To have the food supplies of a nation in the soie hands and control of a coterie of speculators is a monstrous situa tion. The gravity cf it cannot be overestimated. . Every man who op poses it is doing a public service. We can endure the dominance of organ ized greed in our transportation serv ice; for every reason of National wel fare we ought not to endure it In our food supplies. What It means is clear ly shown in "The Jungle." I look upon every man that helps us to escape that condition as a benefactor and with all my heart I wish him well. Yours very truly, CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL. To The Frank L. Smith Meat Co., Portland. Or. For the benefit of thousands of peo ple who have come to Portland in the fiast year we republish the above let er. Mr. Russell's story, "The Greatest Trust in the World." made a tremend ous sensation when it appeared in Everybody's Magazine. It showed how the Reef Trust stooped to any crime to win its way. The Beef Trust never operates retail markets in its own name it would be ashamed to it would be afraid to it finds a. man who is willing to ell his birthright and honor and carry out the rf r,riii .r'hi'nip, t ti his own name.
