More Heat' Less Care t z (ma Buy Your Storage Coal NOW I t t f ? ? t T Buy your winter's supply now! Coal is plentiful now but will not be later on coal cannot be cheaper with existing mining wages and freight rates. There is no prospect of a reduction of either. Goal cannot be stored at the mines nor can dealers store enough to protect this community. It is up to you to protect yourself. A small production in summer necessarily means increased cost and a shortage and higher prices later. This loilows the economic law applying to la bor, wheat, potatoes or coal. We can serve you quickly and efficiently now, but cannot be expected to do so later when weather conditions and abnormal demand handicap us. Coal sufficient to care for the entire country's needs throughout the Fall and Winter months cannot be mined or trans ported entirely during those Winter months, but must be equitably distribu ted over the twelve month period. To insure the United States against a soit coal shortage, the averago produc tion of all mines should be 11,000,000 tons per week throughout the year. By reason of a mild winter over the entire country production began to drop off in November, 1920, until at the present time so much production has been lost on ac count of "no demand" that if this con dition continues for another ninety days, not alone our Heppner community but the entire country will face as grave a fuel shortage as has existed at any time previous. The following letter sent out from the O. W. R. & N. is further argument in fa vor of storing coal NOW. To General and District Freight Agents, Traveling Freight Agents and Local Agents: Regardless of efforts to get before the con sumers of coal, assurances as to stability of rates for this season at least, there continues a gen eral disposition on the part of the buying public to hold off their purchases, no doubt due in con siderable measure to expressions of certain officers of the Administration leading the con suming public to believe there will be a reduc tion in freight rates during the coming season. There is nothing in the situation that would X T ? ? ? f f z T t ? y ? ? I? y Y y ? f ? J Y y ? Y Y I Tum-A-Lum The Home of" Tum-A-Lutnp" Heppner Lexington lone Its a pleasure to cook with A Good Oil Cookstove V Peoples Hardware Co. justify such belief, for the simple reason that freight rates cannot be reduced until transport ation costs have been substantially lowered, and that has not yet been accomplished. 1 wrote you along similar lines on May 6th, and at this time reproduce the following telegrams, copies of which have been sent to me by Mr. F. W. Robinson, Freight Traffic Manager, Union Paci fic System : Utah Coal Operators by Cameron Coal Co., dated June 3rd to Hon. Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, Washington, D. C. "Government departments recently advised public that unless coal was freely stored during summer months coal panic would ensue during coming winter and Congressional Committee reporting on Senate Bill S-186 expressed sim ilar view. This correct statement of situation was accepted and acquiesced in by consuming public. However, telegraphic announcement of President Harding's recent interview with the Interstate Commerce Commission was unfortu nately unduly emphasized by newspapers and has resulted in serious checking coal storage in anticipation freight reduction. In Utah such re duction very unlikely because State Public Util ities Commission refused permit last freight rate increase to apply on coal moving wholly within state. Coal mines this field working only twen ty to twenty-five per cent time and further re ductions would be completely demoralizing. If not inconsistent with policy your department would very much appreciate an expression from you as to whether or not you have information regarding immediate coal freight decrease in Western states as well as your views concerning summer storage in fact, permit us to suggest that an official expression to Associated Press and others from Washington as to whether or not any proposed freight reduction will apply to coal would result in clerifying present uncer tainty which is causing stagnation in coal busi ness. Continued disposition on part of consum ing public to delay storing coal will unquestion ably bring about serious condition this winter." Mr. Hoover's reply of June 7th, as follows: " have no information that leads me to be lieve there will be any reduction of coal rates this season." It will be appreciated if you will bring this ex pression of Mr. Hoover's to the attention of all retailers and consumers in your respective com munities directly and through the press. We believe it to-be important, in order to avoid later coal car shortage, congestion and possible coal shortage, that they give due consideration at this time to the advisability of anticipating their re quirements and laying in a supply of summer storage coal for their Fall and Winter needs.
