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.

War and a pioneer of Powell Valley, died

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.

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.

E. W. GROVE'S signature ! on each box. 23c,
New York, March 1. 1907.
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.
