line of the O. It. & . N. for storage
purposes, between June 15 and Aug
ust 1, a reduction of 50 cents per ton
will be made 25 cents per ton re
ducllon In freight, and 25 cents In
the price of the coal.
This reduction la made to Induce
people to buy their winter's supply
of coal during the summer season,
when traffic In coal Is not so heavy.
In order to secure this reduction the
purchaser must Blgn a' statement to
the effect that the coal purchased Is
for future use and not for immediate
consumption.
Each winter the coal supply f the
Inland empire runs short, and owing
to the rush of traffic It Is impossible
to supply the needs of the country.
In order to Induce people to lay In Ti
large supply of storage coal, to avoid
a famine during the winter months,
this extraordinary offer has been
made by the coal companies and the
Harrlmnn people.

a long famine last winter, will lay In
a large amount of storage coal. Walla

On the first vole on the canal question

table.
Immediately thereafter the senate

As a lock canal Is already adopted
by the house (vote of 110 to 39) and

OIL SUPPLY IS
THE LABOR TROUBLES AT
'FRISCO RESPONSIBLE.
Everything in Readiness to Begin
Oiling Roadbed of Spokane Branch
In Few Days, Extx.pt the Oil Use
of Oil In Knglness for Fuel on the
O. H. N. May Be Temporarily
Abandoned.
If It were not thut the strike of
the Sailors' union in San Francisco
has tied up the fuel oil supply of tho
O. R. & X. the work of sprinkling
the Spokane branch with oil would
begin next Monday morning. The
weeds are now being cut away from
the track, and all Is In readiness to
spread oil over the branch from Pen
dleton to Grange City and perhaps
to Spokane, to "lay" the dust.
The O. R. & N. ll supply comes
from the southern California wells,
by water from Sar. Francisco, and at
present all shipping out of that city
Is tied up by strike of the sailors anil
longshoremen. It Is not definitely
known when a supply will be receiv
ed for the track. The supply for the
oll-hurnlng engines Is also very short
and unless a shipment ts received soon
the oil burners will have to be aban
doned on the Portland-Umatllla run.
The sprinkling will be done' from
an oil tank equipped with sprinklers
reaching out on either sldf. of the
track, on the plan of a street sprinkl
ing wagon. It Is thought that two
or three applications of the oil wll!
successfully suppress the dust during
the entire summer. After the oil Is
applied a couple of years It forms a
crust on the surface which does not
pulverize and thus the dust nuisance
Is permanently abated.
That portion of the Spokane branch
between Pendleton and Starhuck Is
said by O. R. & X. officials to be the
most dusty section on the system, and
every effort will be made to perma
nently abate it. It is thought that
heavv application of oil for two or
three years will put the surface of the
ground along the track In such con
ditlon that It will never again become
dusty.
