The Baker City Democrat gives the following reasons for the coal famine now being experienced in eastern Or egon: The coal famine tn the northwest Is becoming more serious every day. It owes its existence to one principal cause the dealers did not lay in storage supplies when they had the opportunity. Today the mines tn Utah and Wyoming are running full force day and night and Sundays, when possible, in order to meet the demands. Yesterday a representative of the Democrat who was In Portland, was hewn by the traffic department of the O. R. & N. company, a pile of tel egrams almost a foot thick on the coal situation. The managers of the various mines telegraph that they are doing everything In their power to relieve the situation, have plenty of cars, but cannot Increase the output of coal without more miners. They could use a thousand more men today If they had them. The demand locally In Utah and Wyoming cannot be met. The northwest Is get ting all the coal that can be spared, and every section Is receiving Its pro rata share. The winter has been un expectedly long and steady and there has been an Increased, consumption of coal for domestic purposes. In order to help the situation the O. R. & N. company reduced its ord ers for dally coal supply for locomo tives by 60 per cent and is not even now receiving that amount from Utah and Wyoming. The company then turned to the north and engaged Roslyn coal. Some of that Infer ior coal waa furnished for a while, but even that has been cut off in the last 48 hours. The company has only 86 hours' supply of coal on hand In transit and has been obliged to draw on Its re serve supply, which Is very small. It Is the aim of the company to store about 75,000 tons each season. This season they only succeeded In getting about 30,000 tons, and have now not much more than half of that on hands. They have put company coal Check the Cold You caririol figure on the results of a cold If It's let run Its course. But you can figure on results If you take Our F. &. S.

Pendleton and La Grande dealers stored a little coal In the summer but are now out and as bad off as deal ers In other towns. Weston, Colfax, Walla Walla, Pullman, and other places In competitive territory, are just as short of coal as those on the main line. Roslyn has shut off for 10 days, and that coal at best is al most worthless stuff. The managers of the Utah mines telegraphed yesterday they have hopes of being able to relieve the situation In a few days. Baker City ) has had and will have Its full pro rata shnre of coal in proportion to population and requirements. No discrimination is apparently being made by the mines or railroads. The lesson is store coal In the summer time when you can get It. OREGON PIONEER DEAD. Benjamin J. Grubbe Died In Willam ette Valley. James B.

Mayor Fee Will Co-operate With Agent Edwards to Suppress the Liquor Traffic Among Uie Indians, and No Pains Will Be Spared to See Tliat It is Effectively Done The State Law's Efficiency la Now Being Tested In tile Trial of a Case Brought From I'nmtlllu County. To prevent the sale of liquor to In diuns, as far as such is within the power of the city administration to do so, Is the intention of Mayor Fee, and as a result those who have been en gaging in that business have need to tremble. This morning what might be term ed the first step toward putting the business under the ban was taken, when, in accordance with the orders of the mayor, Marshal Coffman pre pared a list of Indians who are habit ual drunkards. This list was delivered to the mayor and will be given by him to Major Edwards, agent at the res ervation, so that a close watch may be kept over those named. Any per son found selling liquor to those named, or to any other Indian will be arrested by the police and turned over to the state authorities for pros ecution. This morning Mayor Fee said that the city administration will take hold of the matter and seek to stop the sale of liquor to Indians, even though there Is no city ordinance forbidding such. Should the council see fit to pass an ordinance making It an offense against the city to sell liquor to In dians, the same will be enforced. According to the mayor he has con sulted with Major Edwards, agent at the reservation, in regard to the mat ter, and also with others in authority. An effort is being made to learn from what saloons the Indian liquor Is se cured, and when such Is done the sa loonman will be prosecuted whether they hav sold It directly to Indians or not, for the law does not allow them to do Indirectly what they dare not do directly. At present the statj law forbidding the sale of liquor to Indians is being tested before the supreme court, In a case from this county. While It has not been tried yet, It is said that a decision will probably be secured soon after the hearing of the case, and It Is the general opinion of attorneys that the law will be upheld. The following are the Indians re ported by Marshal Coffman to be habitual drunkards: Tllll-quats, Joe Bennett, Jim Bad Roads. Francis, Isi dore, Indian Pete, Ike Parr, Joe Wil liams (Carlyle graduate). Ed Chap man, Wild Bill, Mrs. Anna Chapman, Willis Crow, Charles Bennett, To wits, Narclsse, She-schescouse, Wm. Barnhart, David Bartholomew, Allen Paddy-waugh, Jim Stack, George Marshall and Spokane Jim. SHARP'S LEG WAS FRACTURED. Turned a Corner Too Quickly and Fell on Slippery Walk. Jack Sharp, a farm hand, received a broken leg about 9 o'clock last night as the result of a fall upon a slippery sidewalk. The accident occurred at the corner of Webb and Cottonwood streets, as Sharp was turning the corner. Passersby were attracted by the calls of the Injured man, and as he was found to be helpless, the po lice were notified. He Was then plac ed upon a blanket and taken to the hospital by Marshal Coffman and Night Officer Jeff Stephens. City Physician Cole was summoned and dressed the broken leg. It was the right leg, and It was broken squarely about half way between the ankle and knee. Sharp has been employed on Swltz- ler Island, and also In the Juniper country. He has been In the country for a number of years, and has been about town considerably. He Is a large man, weighing about 130 pounds, and It Is doubtless to this that he owes his broken leg. Appar ently he slipped while turning the corner and fell in such a manner as to suddenly throw the entire weight upon his right leg, thus snapping the bone. . While no other accidents have been reported from last night, there were many narrow escapes from falls upon the slippery walks, for owing to the sleet and slippery snow the walks all over the city were made rather peril ous for travel.
