The complaints from the residence sections of the town are growing more and more acute, Soot fills the air, enters in the cracks around windows, spoils curtains and varpets amd makes clean homes impossible. Newly painted houses become dark and dingy within a few menths’ time Whiite clothing is quickly soiled and even faces and hands show the effects of the grimy smoke and dirt. The cause is easily found when one begins looking into the kinds.of fuel generally used. Three-fourths, if not more, t coal from nearby mines, which »lete combustion and the throwing It is phenomenally of the stuff is low-grade is notable for its incom off of vast quantities of smoke and soot dirty coal, far worse than the soft coal products of Pennsyl- vania People use it because it is cheaper than British Co- Jumbia soft coal, which makes less dirt, and far cheaper than anthracite, which is occasionally brought to this mar- ket in ships from the Atlantic seaboard. With almost everybody using dirty, low-grade coal, but one result is possible—the one that everybody is now complaining of. A few years ago Seattle, being then much smaller and using large quantities of wood for fuel, was a comparatively clean city. Wood then didn’t cost nearly so much as it does now and most of the old inhabitants were in the habit of using it. But with the advent of so many new Eastern people, bringing with them soft coal habits formed in their old homes, and the gradually increasing price of wood, partly due to dealers’ extortions and partly to the increase in wages of woodchoppers, coal came more and more into use, while wood dropped into disuse to a great extent. So today we see the strange sooty spectacle of a city standing in the midst of the greatest forests on earth, with timber rotting on the ground in all directions, burning nasty soft coal! If there was some saving in cost, the thing would not seem so strange, but the fact is the coal costs fully as much as wood and oft-times more. At present prices wood is the cheaper fuel. Many persons would probably abandon coal for wood, if they were cognizant of its uses. It is just as good for house furnaces as the coal, and costs less to use. It is adapted to use in ranges as well. For either heat- ing or cooking purposes the fir sold in the woodyards here is the most desirable fuel obtainable. The more general use of gas for fuel would also tend to reduce the smoky conditions in Seattle. At present prices gas is cheaper for kitchen use than either wood or coal. Gas ranges can be operated at a cost of not exceeding $2.50 to $3.00 per month, much less than the price of a ton of coal. As a partial measure of relief the city authorities should enforce to the utmost the present ordinances relating to the smoke nuisance, so far as the big chimneys of factories and power-producing plants are concerned. But there will be no radical improvement in conditions in this city until the people themselves decide to abandon the use of the cheap soft coal, as far as possible, and return to the use of wood for fuel, or try gas. Let the improvement clubs of Seattle take this matter up, and do so vigorously. Nothing could be of more im- portance. What is the use of talking up expensive schemes for beautifying the town, while we are deliberately besmirch- ing it all over and making public buildings, stores and houses dingy and uncouth with soot? t For? me, f am so handsome man Zo ladies mus’ show pr-refer-rence; Tay wave to me xe little han’— Sen’ me thirty cents?
