The wood fuel in Oregon Is rapidly reach ing a point which indicates that there will be a shortage this winter, accord ing to reports reaching Fuel Admin istrator Holmes. How severe the shortage will be is not known at present. Anticipating It, however. Holmes already is preparing for dis tribution of coal in districts where there is insufficient wood supplies. Conditions are more acute in Port land than at other points thus far. These industries are converting their plants to the use of wood and coal due to the fact that the oil fuel sup plies will soon be deeply cut on ac count of the transfer of tank steam ers to the Atlantic, among other things. Announcement to this end is already having its effect on demands for other fuels, with the result that dealers are having a hard time to fulfill orders now on their books.
