I! COAL SHORTAGE IN OGDEN
J CAUSING UNEASINESS II
ill
I, i Orders for coal in ton lots- and
similar small quantities are being
filled with great difficulty by local
dealers, and the city Is approaching a
crisis in the coal situation which is'
k becoming acute. The coal is not to
? be had, the dealers claim. TJiere are
' so few shipments sent to Ogden that
it is impossible for any coal yard In
1 the city to have a supply stored on
hand. Where dealers, in better
times, used to store several thousand
: tons against the demands of winter,
i now they have.riot even a ton on hand
for a time longer than a few hours.
The discomforting aspect, of the
, situation, too, will steadily groy,
j worse as the keen nights and morn-
j ings of the late fall season approach.
' The dealers claim there is a small
' supply of coal on hand in nearly every
home in ihe city and were it not
L ' for this fact sharp distress would be
ti felt.
Prospects for a general relief are
) said by local coal men to be fair.
I fThe railroads have promised to start
i! trains of coal into this territory within
a few weeks and expect by Novem-
, ber 1 to have the situation pretty well
in hand. The roads have been unable
to do this, however, in the few years
i past which havo seen similnr condi-
f tlons with regard to the coal supply,
and dealers are dubious concerning
J tho chances of the railroads fulfill-
I ing the promise. ;

life not to his liking, he deserted and

Here he prevailed on his brother, an

If COIEIf I OF COURT
i in moi case
An order has been Issued to Moroni
Brown, defendant in a recent divorce,
suit brought against him by Margaret
P. Brown, that he appear before the
district court to show cause why he
should not be judged in contempt of
court for refusing to obey an order of
the court charging him to pay alimony
to his divorced wife.
The payment of alimony by the de
fendant to Mrs. Brown was one of the
stipulations of the judgment, and
which the defendant is alleged to have
failed to obey.

I Head tho Classified Ads.

r Read the Classified Ads.
The. scarcity of coal is laid to tho
tremendous demand made upon tho
mines by manufacturing enterprises
and Industry generally throughout
the country. Production of manufaV
lured articles is more extensive now
than at any other time and tho de
mand for coal has consequently in
creased in proportion. It is said that
the production of coal is 25 per cent
greater at this time than it was dur
ing the -same period of last year and
yet the scarcity remains.
Some trouble has been felt at the
mines, according to advices received
by Ogden coal merchants, regarding
tho labor supply. It is said that
enough coal miners cannot be obtain
ed to keep the output at a high rale.
In the southern Utah districts farm
ers have been accustomed to finish
ing their farm work in the fall and
then going Into some of the mines to
work. This increased the supply ma
terially. This year, nowever. tho
farmers have received good prices for
their crops and are fairly prosperous,
generally, so a large number of them
have concluded they will not work in
the mines but instead enjoy their
profits and "lay around for a spell."
The lack of cars and engines has
heretofore been ascribed as the
reason for the failure of the Denver
- Rio Grande to supply this territory
more generously with coal. This con
dition, it is said, has been consider
ably remedied for this season.
