For tha Information of those who haven't bad tme to investigate them aelree, a Journal reporter haa, after a carefur Inquiry Into the fuel altuatlon at thla time. Come to tha conclusion that tha aupply of wood and coal on hand In Portland, or on tha way here, will be plenty enough ao that there will be no danger of a ahortage even If - the winter aeaaon anouia d longer ana less mild than usual. - Prices are a good deal lower now . than they -were a year ago.- Wood t rout Ig.fiff a. rerd then la Only tS "present and Australian coal sells for 110.60 - now. aa against fi last janu , ary.'

Bura Thousands of Cords. Portland Is peculiarly a wood-burning community. Estimates made from fig ures given by 40 dealers of the city show that the annual consumption of slab and cordwood Is In the, neighbor hood of 400,000 cords. Figures from loading coal Haj lers show that only about 40,000 tons of coal are burned . every year for domestic purpoaea. The quantity of thla fuel sold for home consumption haa been greatly out down In the paat few years bv tha Inroads of the bis oil comrtantee. whose products are displacing other kinds of fuel for use In heating na large buslneaa blocks anil Hotels, Nearly all of these no burn oil. .
