coal mt
Those of La Grande who lived here
last winter can relate the strenuous
ness of a coal famine. 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.
