COAL SHORTAGE
IS SEATTLE
Great Northern Forced to Beg
Fuel to Operate Its
Trains.
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.

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.
This, in brief, is the purpose and object of our Co-operative
Club, which is now distributing a great encyclopedia among the
readers and friends of this paper. Sets are shipped to pur
chasers direct from the binders. As a result of this saving in

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
