Il have been greatly interested in the

served ten years on the Naval Affairs
Committee Of the House Of Representa-
tives. Since we have got into the bus
mess Of taking all the lands lying upon
the face of the globe that no other
country may want il has been found
necessary that we should develop q
navy in order that we may protect
those isolated places where our little
cousins live who are not able to take
care Of themselves. Therefore, we
| have had TO expend millions of dollars
TO develop this navy.
"Now, you all know that the ex-
penses OF maintaining this navy--and
that is one Of the points the commits
sion is asked to inquire into, the mill
itary advantages OF this canal-has
within the last twenty years grown
from twenty millions Of dollars to a
hundred and four millions Of dollars.
and the country is still demanding
moro navy.
Il believe. however, that the time Is
at hand when we might properly cease
building so many ships Of war and de-
vote the attention Of the country to
such enterprises as that which you are
now considering.
Il would not entirely cease building
battleships. but / would not build two.

The canal has been intimately assocl-

II believe that In a very few years

during the last forty or fifty years the

THAT may seem a prepostcrous sug-
gestion, but / am satisfied that the
growth OF business in this country has
reached a point where 1t will be impos-
sible for the railroads TO hanSe all
that comes to them. They are to-day
.crowded with traffic TO such a point
that IL Is almost impossible for them
to move their traffic. Their orders for

travelling all over the Atlantic coast in

yet they remained silent. The
newspaper men admitted the truth
of the charge, pleading in extenua-
ton that they would have been in
jured if not ruined financially had
they dared to print the truth.
While the coal and insurance cases
may not be said to be analogous,
the results in both instances appear
to be the same. The people suffer
through the operations Of the com
panies and coal traffic is stifled.
1t is an undeniable fact that man
might discover and patent the finest
coal mine in the west within few
miles of Twin Falls and yet be un-
able to market his product. He
would have to take what the trust
offered for his property or nurse it
until such time as conditions per-
mitted its development. What is
true OF coal is also true of oil.
There is an abundance of coal in
Fremont county, Idaho, but the
mines cannot be developed because
they would necessarily compete
with those in Wyoming. If pres
ent conditions continue the Idaho
coal mines will remain undeveloped
for an indefinite period The pres
ent investigation in Salt Lake City
may result in ali upheaval which
will benefit Idaho. The shivering
citizens Of the Gem state sincerely
hope it will.-Twin Falls News.

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 80, 1906.

The people in many towns de-
pending upon the Oregon Short
Line to supply them with fuel are
getting desperate over the coal stu.
alton. They are ropbing coal cars
passing their stations. At Nyssa,
one day last week, about 100 people
held up a passing coal train, cut
out two cars and distributed the
coal so that their families might
not suffer. At Market Lake, on the
Montana branch crowd collected,
boarded train and pitched enough
coal off to supply their present
need. At Idaho Falls, where the
farmers depend on the railroad
supplying them, there are dozens
of teams lined up at the station al
most every day begging for coal.
1t is about the same at nearly all
the towns along the line. The
mines in Wyoming and Utah can
supply the coal in abundance, and
the railway officials explain that it
is shortage Of cars which is caus
ing the coal famine.
The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1906-11-30

The methods by which few coal
companies obtained title TO vast
tracts of valuable coal lands in
Wyoming were disclosed during the
recent investigation in Salt Lake
City which was made for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the cause Of
the coal famine. Witnesses testi-
fed that they had filed upon coal
lands and after securing patents
had turned the lands over to the
companies by which they were en-
ployed, receiving consideration in
return. The sequ to these methods
is found in the present coal short
age which is causing much distress
and suffering in Idaho. A second
investigation is now in progress
which may produce beneficial re-
suits. Why this investigation was
not made years ago is one of the
perplexing mysteries of our poli-
tical and commercial life. Nearly
every we'll informed citizen of Utah,
Wyoming and Idaho knew how the
coal companies had secured their
holdings, yet no objections were
made. The lumber companies have
been employing similar methods in
Idaho for years and the awakening
is painfully slow; AT banquet
given to prominent American
statesman by the newspaper men
of New York few weeks ago, the
guest Of the evening accused his
hosts Of qniescence in the insurance
scandal He said they were well
informed in regard to what was
going on long before the insurance
investigation developed the facts,

The Department Of Agriculture
was created by Congress, five re.
member correctly, in 1884, and
N. j. Coleman, of Missouri, was
the first secretary appointed to
fill that position in President
Cleveland's cabinet. Since that
time the long line of gentlemen
who have succeeded him have
made efficient officers, and the
department of Agriculture has
steadily grown in Importance
and has done much to improve
agricultural methods, introduce
new and better grains, grasses
and fruits, livestock etc., and
collecting crop statistics and re-
porting OF crop conditions, much
to the benefit OF the agricultural
industry. Now no practical bust
ness man would wish to see that
department abolished.
Now a movement is to be made
in the coming congress to estab-
fish another department with the
dignity OF a cabinet secretary,
which we believe in time will be-
come quite as important as that
of agriculture. 1t is to be a De
partment of Mines. Prominent
mining men have been advocat-
ing such a measure for MANY
years. The recent mining con-
gress at Denver, took the matter
up and gave it unanimous en-
dorsement and arranged to have
a bill drawn to be presented to-
congress. Mining for coal, oil,
iron, lead, copper and the nobler
metals and mineral substances
has become an industry in this
country scarcely second to that
OF agriculture, and it does not re-
quire much thought to see how a
Department Of Mines properly
instituted and conducted, can be
made OF vast benefit to the in
dustry.

Death of Former Governor Hunt.

The untimely death of former
Governor Frank w. Hunt, at
Goldfield, Nevada, last Sunday,
has removed from the state a
distinguished citizen and lovable
gentleman, in the prime OF a use
full and active life. Governor
Hunt was born in Kentucky 43
years ago; came to Montana
when quite a young man, and to
Lemhi county a few years later,
where he engaged in mining. In
1895 he was chosen state senator
from that county and as a men,
Der OF the senate, proved an ac-
tive worker, formulating our
present state mining law, and
assisting in reforming other laws.
When the Spanish war broke
out, he was one among the first
in the state to volunteer his SER
vices and was appointed by Gov
ernor Steunenberg to. a lieuten-
ancy in the Pocatello company
and subsequently made brigade
quartermaster by General Gran
dine after having served with his
regiment in the Philippines a
little more than year. At the
close of the war he was mustered
out a captain.
At the famous three party con
vention in 1900, the Lemhi coun-
ty democratic delegation put him
up as a candidate for governor,
and he was nominated, and elect
ed in the ensuing fall. He was
renorninated two years later but
defeated at the ensuing election
by John L. Morrison. He was
married in Boise 10 years ago,
to very accomplished lady, a
Miss Maynard OF that city, who
bore him two children, one an in
FAINT now only eight months old
and his widow surviving him.
Governor Hunt possessed a !
most gentlemanly and genial
presence, which made men when
they first met him ut once his
friends, and everybody liked him.
