WOOD NEARLY ALL SOLD Poor People Chop Up Fences, Furniture and Walks for Fuel. PICKING UP DRIFT LOGS How a Dealer Supplies His Customers—Eud of the Famine Is Near. The strike in the coal regions has not only made the price of coal advance but wood also. Wood lias advanced from to $5 a cord, and the freight is so high that many dealers cannot afford to soli it. In the neighborhood of the Five Cor ners and West Newark gvenue the poor people have been without coal since last spring, and have relied upon wood to cook their meals. Now the supply lias given out. These people during the last two weeks have been chopping everything in the shape of wood. There are not any trees to feb, so they have chopped down their sheds, fences.and even furniture. All through Shinny Park and “Bottle Alley ’ many fences are missing. A board walk in Porter street, extending from Newark avenue to Van Winkle street, disappeared in one night. GETTING DRIFTWOOD. The old railroad ties which for roauy year have lain along the F. R. R. tracks have been used to good advantage. Many watch the shore of the Hacken sack River, near Newark avenue, for the logs and large woofl to float ashore. There are about five persons for even ing. Some use row boats and thus have the advantage of those on the shore. The wood dealers in this section cannot supply the great demand, and the supply lias given out in many yards. The only wood yard that has a supply is at Van Winkle and Porter streets, and it cannot fill the orders. DEMAND UNPRECEDENTED. “I have been in tuis business for thir | ty-three years,” said the proprietor, “and I ne^er before have I seen such a demand j for wood. I had over 500 cords in this yayJx,last summer, and scarcely fifty are I ou cans.. Hover-a day wiCnoui its bargain*' ' WOlfS OH RROS K X. 15i Newark Avenue. Jbd' Jersey City.

Every morning there is a crowd wanting wood and I am weeks behind in my orders. “My supply will not last more than two weeks, at the very most. Wood which could have been bought at $11 a cord now costs from $15 to $18, and the freight on a carload costs $18. This coal famine was not expected and the forest ers did not prepare for it. The trees cut now are too green to burn. “This supply I have had on hand the last five years. I have given the poor in my neighborhood the benefit by selling them six barrels for $1, and will not charge a cent more for what I have on hand. WARMS THE BABIES. “A woman came here yesterday and said: ‘Won’t you please send me a bar rel of wood right away, my two babies are almost dying with the cold.’ My heart was touched by her sad tones and I took the barrel myself to her home, just a block away. There I saw a baby not two months old and another about a year old. Their little faces were purple from the cold. “In many homes where I deliver wood last year at this time the winter supply of coal was in the cellars. I can only let each customer have so much, as I want to let them all have the benefit of it while it lasts.” Now the coal strike is ended the people are anxiously looking for relief in cheap er fuel.” For Style and Fit, Quality and Worth AND THE Union Label GO TO I.
