Coal Hard to Obtain.
llecause the price of oil has dou
bled during the war with the result
the O.-W. R. A N. will after July 1
have to pay $1.40 per barrel instead
of 70 cents, arrangements are be
ing made whereby 8 7 oil burning lo
comotives between Kteth and Seatti
will return to the use of coal.
This news was brought to Pendle
ton today by William Bollona, divis
ion superintendent. The change will
be made because at 81.40 per barrel
the use of oil would be more ex
pensive to the company than coal.
However, it ia going to be difficult
for the company to secure enough
coal, it Is feared. I'nheard of ship
ping tactics are being resorted to to
secure fuel for the company and
there is worry over next winter's
supply. A feature of the situation Is
facilities for storing coal are lim
ited. However the Immediate prob
lem ia how to secure coal to store.
. An incident showing methods em
ployed by the o.-W. R. N. to meet
the car situation is abown by the
fact the company this spring has
paid 317.50 each as freight charge
on 3000 new box cars, handled be
tween Rt Louis and Kansas Citv.
Ordinarily the cars could have been
slate eleetinn a vear from next
because of the passaKe of the mea
sure requiring city umi Mate elections
to he held on the same dates. Tills Is
the opinion of some of the local al
tornes. The law passed Monday by
Ihe voters Incomes effective ill once,
and the clt can not therefore hold
full i iM.uiity registration books, in place of
Ueeplhg a separate set of such books.
It will be necessary for the cities ami
loivns to make the boundaries ot
their (lection precincts identical with
Ihe boundaries of the county election
precincts, and to make use of the
names registered with Ihe county
clerk of the imrticular city.
