CAUSE OP COAL FAMINE.
Pallors Failed to Lay In Supply Early
In Season.
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

Into the towns suffering and distrib
uted pro rata.
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.

INDIAN
DUB
LIST BEING COMPILED
BY MARSHAL COFFM AN.
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

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.
