Committees Come From All
Points TO Confer With Rail
road Officials.
DISTRESS PREVAILS
in ALL SECTIONS
Coal Shipments Will Be Given
Preference Over Everything
Except Passengers.

From all sides come reports as to the
serious conditions of the coal market.
Salt Lake is not alone by any means.
Ogden, Cache valley. and over the bor-
der, at Preston, Ida, all are in dire
straits and suffering from lack Of
fuel From Ogden yesterday came u
committee headed by Hyrum Pingree
and Mr.-Van Allen, to consult with Rio
Grande and Utah Fuel company OFF,
cials concerning the situation. and COM
mittees from Cache valley and Preston
called at Oregon Short Line headquar~
ters, presented their case and sought
relief. They ell told story Of distress
and the urgent necessity of immediate
relief. AT Ogden and Provo the supply
Of coal is exhausted and many are in
actual need. |
The Ogden committee interviewed 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
everything in his power to extend re.
lief. Every available car will be load
ed with coal, and, where possible, cars
will be diverted, and Mn. Derrah gave
assurance that precedence will be given
coal shipments over everything except
passenger trains, so that supplies will
be rushed to the famished communi.

Short Lines Relief Work.


The committee who visited Short
Observation-Disclosures given similar
assurances, that nothing will be LETT
uudone- 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 situation.
Strict impartiality will be observed by
the Hartman lines in the distribution
Of fuel; no section will be favored. At
present l50 carloads daily are leaving
the emmerer and Diamondville mines.
OF this output 100 cars go to the roads
for the operation of the lines. the
Southern Pacific having only on hand
about forty'1ight hours supply. This
leaves fifty cars for commercial use.
With the return of the thirty cars from
the San Pedro the commercial supply
VIII be enlarged,
Another feature which lends hone
and-eneoGEsgement to- the situation is
that tho 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
factories this supply will come TO the
commercial field and the cars released
Will be valuable addition 10 the
equipment. The railroads maintain
that their own supply pust be kept
up, as in the event Of any contingency
arising that the supply from the mines
would be shut off temporarily trans.
portation would cease.
Organize Effort for Relief.
But in the meantime communities
must not be permitted to suffer. If
an organized effort were made and
200 or 500 carloads OF coal were rushed
into the commercial market relief
would come. Surely this is not be.
yond the railroads and the seriousness
of the situation certainly warrants
some such concentrated action.
AS TO the Salt Lake supply 1t is also
nearing the point of exhaustion and
the coal receipts are meager. In fact
most Of the dealers are sold out and
awaiting supplies. The daily copsumn.
tion of coal in Salt Lake is ostimat.
ed at 1850 tons, and every day the
wants Of the consumers become more
urgent.

Autos and Good Roads.

+ Numerous suggestions have ,been
made in districts where macadamized
roads abound and automobiles are
much in evidence of plans by which
auto users can be made to pay a larger
share of the cost of maintaining the
/ road than Is eXaCted of horse owners.
4 1t is believed that motor cars wear out
stone roads faster than horse drawn
yehicles.
\ One objection to taxing auto users
and letting horse owners go scot free
lis based upon the notion that people
who ride in automobiles are already
paying heavier taxes than the owners
Of horses and have n perfect right to
infict more damage on the roads. This
may be questioned in so far as the
roads near large cities are concerned.
About every horse owner in the cOun-
try pays taxes, but only now and then
does the city owner of motor car pay
taxes which in any way help the roads.
"a fine for overspeeding. which would
be devoted to road repair, would seem
fair to all. 1t is the high speeding mo
tor which damages the roadbed the
most. Men who enjoy the fun of high
speeding should be willing to pay for
the privilege.

TRANSFERS or CURRENCY.
How Funds Sent Out BY the New
York sub-Trsasury Are
Handled.

Owing 70 the large transfers made
during the past few weeks through
the New York sub-treasury 70 the in
terror. special interest attaches ~ this
tine 70 the manner In which these
transfers are made. and the govern
ment regulations concerning them.
Transfers can be made through the
sub-treasury 10 any point IN the
United States al which an assistant
treasurer Is located. There are as
sistant treasurers IL New York. Bos-
ton. Philadelphia. Baltimore. New Or
leans. Cincinnati. Chicago, St Louis
and San Francisco The regulations
governing transfers 70 all these points
are Identical. except In the case OF
san Francis %. 70 which transfers are
made free Of cost. whereas a charge is
made By the government for transfers
70 the other points.
The bank or individual having oc-
casion 70 send a large sum Of money
from New York. say. 10 Cincinnati de-
posits the amount Al the sub-treasury
here together with the equivalent Of
the express company's charge for
actually shipping the currency 70 that
city. The sub-treasury here then no
tiles the treasury department az

a suIn mas been deposited here for
transfer 10 Cincinnati. and the assist
ant treasurer at the latter place is IN
turn authorized TO pay out the amount
to the individual or institution named
BY the person deDositing the money
in New York The advantage Of this
method over the actual shipment Of
the currency Is that the time Of trans
mission Is saved. In other respects Il
costs as much whether the currency
be shipped OF the transfer be made
through the treasury department.
In the case Of transfers 70 San Fran

service without charge. Originally this
ARRANGEMENT was made merely for the
purpose Of bringing east the proceeds
Of new gold from the mines anl OF
sending west funds which the govern

coast. In other words. the special
regulations in this case were adopted
rather for the governments conFen-

BANK GAINS BY SNAKE BITE
Texas Farmers Deferred from Using
Barnyard as Hiding Place
for Money.

The farmers Of the cotton belt for
some reason have long been shy Of
banks. and have been in the habit Of
putting their money in receptacles Of
various kinds. such as old shoes and
cans.
Charles Bosler. farmer living near
fiatoEia. Tex. went to a corner Of
his yz-d one day. and in a few mir
ufes came hurrying back. shouting TO
his wife that he had been bitten by
a copperhead snake. Bosler came near
dying from the effects OF the snakes
poison. and It was not until two days
after the snake bit him that Bosler
vas able to tell how II happened He
had gone to get $50 he had on deposit
in an old shoe under a board In the
corner Of the yard. and as he reached
In to get the shoe the snake struck
him.
Upon hearing the story Mrs. Bosler
went out to e., the money where her
husband had left t. The shoe was
still under the board and the farmers
wife reached In TO get it. when she
caught a glimpse Of a copperhead
snake lying there. She was not quick
enough Z jerk her hand back before
the snake struck her Il sank its
fangs in her thumb 80 deep that she
dragged the copperhead along from un-
der the board when she pulled her
hand out. She shook it loose and
ran screaming to the house.
As soon as he had attended TO his
wife's snake bite. Farmer Bosler got
his gun. went out to the place where
I the snake seemed to be standing guard,
and lifted the board Coiled on the old
shoe was the copperhead. and II
showed fight at once. Bosler jumped
aside and shot the serpent's head on
The $50 was all right in the shoe. and
Farmer Bosler removed it TO the
house.
The news Of this adventure Of the
Bosier family with the copperheac
snake soon spread about the neizh-
borhood. and then the farmers begsT
coming into Flatonia every day to de
posit IN the banks al sorts and con
ditions OF money. The cashier Of tn
I first national bank u Flatonia say
that for a week the deposits in tha
hank were double what they had beei
ia any previous week in its history.
