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

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.
