THE WHITE PAINT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.

The White House at Washington,
which has been the Kings Palace"
OF the American People since it was
FIRST occupied by President Madison
in 1903, has recently undergone a
Thorough course OF remodelling. reno

citizen is owner OF an undivided
eighty or eighty-fVe millionth part OF
the White House. as well as OF the
other Public Buildings and Monuments
In the Capitol City. IN item in the
renovation OF the remedelled White
House was repainting. Every visitor
to Washington knows why the White
House Is so called-because it is lit
orally a white house.. The exterior
paint must therefore be white. Now
while the pure white surfaces and sim
pie lines OF the White House, set in
the midst Of green lawns and beauti-
ful trees, produce a very satisfying
effect OF dignified simplicity. white
paint from a practical point OF view.

OF paint that could have been selected
by the original designers. First. be-

Corn Carnival.

We are in receipt of No. of the
Idaho Agronomist, published by
the Idaho Agronomy Association,
and issued to announce and ex-
plain the "Corn Carnival and
Farmers Institute" to be held at
the College of Agriculture, at Mos
cow, Dec. 1l-14. In the title page,
it is explained that "agronomy is
that branch of agriculture which
treats of the science and art of
producing farm crops" We make
the following extracts from the
predatory contents:
The principal feature of the con-
vention will be an exhibit of corn
grown in Idaho and a study of
corn and corn growing. 1t is
thought by some that corn cannot
be grown in Idaho. The first
"corn carnival" of the Pacific
Northwest is for the purpose Of
correcting this erroneous belief.
Premiums will be offered for ex-
hibits of the several classes of corn
grown in the state, and it is hoped
that every one who has corn grown
in Idaho will make an exhibit.
Premiums will be offered for ex-
hibits of Dent corn, flint corn,
sweet corn and pop corn. Nearly
one hundred premiums will be Of.
fered.
While our exhibition is prima-
rily "corn show" no agricultural
product is debarred, and we hope
to see our new agricultural build.

THE FUEL SITUATION.
Some SireakS of Light and MANY
Golden Rays of promise to
EnIiven II.


The Salt Lake Tribune OF last
Thursday, after detailing the Wis.
its Of committees from Ogden,
Preston and other points in Utah
and Idaho, to confer with railroad
officials and fuel dealers, says:
The Ogden committee inter-
viewed A. G. Williams, manager
of the Utah Fuel company, and
S. V. Derrah, assistant general
freight agent of the Rio Grande. Mr..
Williams promised to do every
thing in his power to extend relief.
Every available car will be load.
ed with coal, and, where possible,
cars will be diverted, and Mr.. Der
rah gave assurance that preced-
ence will be given coal shipments
over everything except passenger
trains, 80 that supplies will be
rushed to the famished communi-
ties.
The committee who visited Short
Line headquarters was given SIM
liar assurances, that nothing will
be left undone to alleviate the
condition. Some thirty cars were
returned yesterday by the San
Pedro to the Short Line, and these
will be put into the coal trade i'm.
mediately, and will help the sit.
uation. Strict impartiality will
be observed by the Hartman lines
in the distribution of fuel; no sec.
tion will be favored. At present
$50 carloads daily are leaving the
Kemmerer and Diamondyille
mines. OF this output 100 cars
60 to the roads for the operation
OF the lines, the Southern Pacific
having only on hand about forty
eight hours' supply. This leaves
fifty cars for commercial use.
With the return of the thirty cars
from the San Pedro the CONNER
cial supply will be enlarged.
Another feature which lends
hope and encouragement TO the
situation is that the beet season is
nearing close. The demand for
the running of the beet factories is
about 200 tons daily. With
cessation Of operations at the fac
tories this supply will come to the
commercial field, and the cars re.
leased will be valuable addition
to the equipment. The railroads
maintain that their own supply
must be kept up, as in the event
of any contingency arising that
the supply from the mines should
be shut off temporarily transport
alton would cease.
But in the meantime communi-
ties must not be permitted to suf-
fer. If an organized effort were
made, and 200 or 800 carloads of
coal were rushed into the CONNER
cial market, relief would come.
Surely this is not beyond the rail.
roads, and the seriousness of the
situation certainly warrants some
such concerted action.
If the experts who figured out
the above estimates to encourage
us to expect that our recent coal
supply Of next to nothing is soon
to be increased by fifty per cent or
30 would furnish US some more fig.
ures that would give us show to
believe that at least twenty-five
per cent of the increase will be
something better than, wet slack,
we shall feel like moving to have
the League of Commercial Clubs
OF Southern Idaho appoint a chain
OF simultaneous jubilation meet
ings all along this division of the
Oregon Short Line.
