Show COAL-SHORTAGE IS BECOMING SERIOUS Pocatello, Idaho, Nov. 23. In order to meet the threatened coal shortage in Pocatello, a number of local dealers are considering the advisability of confining tho sale of coal to one ton to a customer. Several dealers are almost al-most entirely out of coal and their promised shipments from the mines are being more and moro delayed. A number of surrounding towns report that their coal supply is practically exhausted, ex-hausted, and in tho event of a severe cold spell it may become necessary for many families to seek refuge in the public school houses. |
