REASON FOR COAL SHORTAGE.
President Elliott of the Northern Pa
cific Explains.


Washington, Dec. 18.-In response to
kilograms of inquiry addressed to pres
idents of several Western railroads by
the interstate commerce commission
as to the causes Of reported shortage
of cars for the transportation of fuel,
by reason OF which great suffering
had been entailed, President Howard
Elliott OF the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company telegraphs the commits
sion from ST. Paul as follows:
There is a scarcity of fuel in some
parts Of the country served by our
line, but we do not know of any short
age of other necessaries of life. Our
company has done and will continue
to do all that it can to prevent suffer
ing. The company realized in June
and July last that the fuel supply was
likely to be inadequate and that the
great increase in general business
would probably produce a congestion
in the autumn We therefore urged all
dealers at that time to look ahead and
provide stock Of coal early and to
try to find new sources of supply. l
think the reason given in your mes
sage, namely, ~e:Ssraordinarx,. delaxszSlIa
moving, is incorrect so far asSthis
company is concerned. The difficulty
in Montana, Idaho and Washington is
that not enough coal is. being produced
to supply promptly the increased do
nestle trade and at the same time fur
nish the railroad with fuel for the OPP
eratieD of its trains. Then in Novem-

val representatives shall rank as the
equal of the naval representatives of
other powers. dr. $500. e. j
The president says that, If the pro-
posed plan Of promotion is carried out.
1t will, as compared with existing laws,
make a saving of more than $4,000 900
during the next seven years.
The principal part Of this saving is
made by stopping the voluntary retire
meut of young lieutenant commanders
with the rank and pay of commanders
upon the retired list.
The president Is firmly of the opin.
ion that unless the present condition
Of the higher commissioned personnel
is rectified by judicious legislation the
future of our navy will be gravely com.

4 Washington. Dec 1S.-The president
has sent a special message to con-
sgress on the subject Of public land
laws in which he urges the repeal of
the timber and stone act; demands
the radical amendment Of the desert
land act; urges the repeal of the COM
mutation clause Of the homestead act,
aall of which, he declares, now serve to
turn great tracts of land over to spec
fulators and corporations.
Il To prevent the fraudulent acquisi-
ltion Of the public lands the president
Says he has directed the secretary of
the interior to allow no patent to be
issued to public lands under any law
until, by an examination on the
ground, actual compliance with that
law has been found to exist. For this
purpose an increase OF special agents
in the general, LAND office Isl gently
required. The president believes that
there should be provision for leasing
coal, oil and gas rights under proper
restrictions. %ss Z
He urges the revision and re-enact-
ment Of the existing laws affecting
rights of way and privileges on public
lands and reservations in one oompre-
Ihensiye act, providing that the regula-
tions now in force in many cases may
+ be extended to all.

SITUATION IS CRITICAL

One of the most serious features is
the possibility of a snow, blockade.
There is now more snow on the ground
than at any time since 1896. Thus
far the state has escaped high winds
and bad drifts. but storm such as is
usual at any time in the winter would
pile up immense drifts and tie up the
roads absolutely for many days and
cripple them for the entire winter.

Children Burned to Death.

A tragedy occurred in remote section
of Shenandoah county, On the Page
county line, a day or two ago. Two
young children of Mrs. John Splitter
were roasted TO death 10 fire that de-
stroyed their home. The mother was at
work in the garden, and had left the
children alone in the house. The baby
was asleep on the bed, and Girl of three
had been tied tot bedpOs!. 1t is believ'
ed that the elder child knocked over a
lamp which was on an incubator in the
room. and that in this manner The fire
started. Looking up from her work, the
m )ther beheld her home in flames. She
rushed to the house, frantic with fear for
the fate of her babies. The only traces
left of the children were few charred
bones. The house and contents were
destroyed, causing a loss estimated at
81. 900.
