AND NOW A COAL OIL FAMINE
DESCENDS ON FUEL-SHORT CITY
A coal oil famine is ths latest evil Jo
Portland. It was announced yesterday
afternoon by the Standard Oil company
her that not a drop of case oil is to be
bad for love or money, and there 1 no
lleved. . Th only way by which -'to se
cure kerosene at present is to purchase
small quantities from the tank men
who drive about th city making small
deliveries. ,
The tank waa-ona formerly cam
sround with a certain degree of regu- I
larlty but sine tha supplies began run
ning low th merry Jingle or th hells
Is beard less frequently.- bousawlvss in
th suburbs "say, ' and -ttr many- homes
the family has had to sit In th dark
of 1st because, of this state Of affairs,
Tha result of th oil shortaga will prob
ably mean a rush on candle stocks and
then a candle famine may follow.
Moat distressing Is ths oil famine to
thos .unfortunates who laughed at th
coal ' shortage. J because they war
quipped -with coal oil heaters. ' They
were happy in th thought that whll
the- big oil magnate might decide any
time to add acentJwortnrto
fh prlc per gallon of their fuel the
danger of th oil wells running dry
were too remote to b worthy of erven
a moment's consideration. But now th
stoves ar dry and their owners crying
for mercy in chorus with thos wrlg
allna in th grasp of the coal octopus.
Tin -11 "'nil t" ranrosa
companies ' for the trouble. - The .cars
hav been started from th east, a rep
reaentatlva of th Standard Oil company
stated yesterday,-but they- hav not T
arrived. In th meantime ther la not a
case, of 'ell In the -warehouses -of th
company. No promises of future de
liveries ar made, but th prospective
purchaser ,1s asked to call again and
then they will do th best, they can. .

swearing- and I tugging at th harness,
the drivers would spend much tlm try
ing .to get thettv to- a standing posture.
Many drivers with human . Instincts
tied gunny sacks or old towels about
th poorly shod hoofs of their horse
and thus helped them to travel safely
over th ic.' "-. " V"-
But th slipping and falling was not
confined to horses. Many a man rushed
out of his bouse this morning to catch
th 7:61 car unconscious of th fact
that ic had 'formed over his new ce
ment sidewalk. 8ome of them got as
far ' aa th front gat before leaving
their feet and sitting down with a thud,
but most of there lost their footing be
fore th gat was reached.
As for th woman, they walked In th
mlddl of th street on their way down
town. Sixth-street was lined with a
-procession of timid pedestrian who felt
that -their safety lay In th mlddl of
the street rather than th sidewalk.
Whll many popl fell heavily enough
to Jar - them severely, no serious acci
dents because of th tc wersre ported
1st this morning.
Many horses fell on ths brldares and
lines of streetcars wer held np, causing i
score; of people to be late at their of- i
flees. Th Bumaid street brldg is on j
of th worst because of th smoothness j
of th incline leading to It approach.
Th steel brldg baa ths steepest Incline
and la on of th most traveled, but
most of th falls occurred on th Burn
side bridge. i ' ..
