But this year .these Inconveniences have never even given signs of appearances, and what Is more, the price is now reasonable. Coal dealers of La Grande have an nounced that coal prices have taken a drop. Instead of selling at $10 per ton, the fuel Is to go at 18. SO, Even at "this price, there is sufficient on hand to meet all demands. Consumers are delighted with the supply on hand, and the newa of re duced prices Is even more so. A MM P Boy Wanted.

A new la bor movement, involving the organi zation of worklngmen of all kinds on Industrial rather than craft lines, has been launched In Denver by the ex ecutive board of the Western Federa tion of Miners, and an attempt will be made to make It national In ex tent. The first general convention will be held in Chicago on April (. when delegations are expected from the Western Federation of Miners, the Industrial Workers of the World, the United Mincwoikers of America the United Brewery Workers and oth ei national and International labor. unions. . it Is understood that William D.
