Fuel famine grows as thefts of coal rise in West
A Portland review notes widespread fuel shortages across the O R and N line in eastern Oregon and Washington. Farmers, towns, and rail crews report coal pilfering from trains and depots, with some paying agents to hold coal, others converting it for personal use. Utah and Wyoming incidents draw police mobilizations, but officials struggle to curb the theft. Coal tariffs, mine delays, and seasonal demand exacerbate the crisis, while railroads warn that fuel supplies must be routed from Utah and Wyoming to meet demand.
