EVER BURNING MOUNTAINS.
Huge Beds of Coal Afire for Ages in
the Rocky Mountains.

Through long line of cliffs from
Colorado to central Utah. and then
southwest toward Arizona, extensive
beds of coal are found, and recent geo.
logical Investigations into this coal
formation of the Far West has devel-
oped what may be termed burning
mountains, or coal beds, a. fire with
surface indications of constant COM
bustion for ages past
Like other coal producing States Of
the Rocky Mountain region, the coal
fields of Utah are somewhat widely
separated, and even the known fields
have been comparatively little explor-
ed; therefore very little is known OF
their productive area.
The edges of these beds come to
the surface in these cliffs barely 1000
feet above the bordering desert, and
in ages past this coal has burned into
the mountain cliffs until smothered by
the accumulation of asnes and cover
ing OF superintendent rocks. In places
the heat of this burning coal has been
SO intense as to melt rocks. From
surface appearances the fires have
gone out in these cliffs, but at one
point in the canon of Prince River,
where the coal is being mined, the
rocks are found to be uncomfortably
hot and the miners were compelled TO
retire for fear the fires would again
break out.
west of Green River. At two places
near tributaries of Fremont River the
Goals are burning, and have been with
out cessation since they were discov-
cred by the earliest explorer. At GER
tain Intervals, as the burning of the
thicks beds progresses, producing cav
ernous spaces in the earth, the rocks
cave in, forming veins for the freer
circulation of air. Then the coal
burns more fiercely and the heat be-
comes so intense as to even melt the
rocks. The origin of these fires has
been the subject of much specula-
ton.
Three explanations are commonly
heard among the people-the Nor
mons who inhabit this peculiar coun-
try where the mountains burn.
One explanation is that lightning
has by chance struck the edges OF
the coal fields at various times since
the mountains were lifted up.
Another is that forest fires raging
in the mountains came in contact
with exposed coal. The more thought
full point out that the forests in this
desert region are too sparce for for
est fires to occur.
Still another and more common SIX
PLANTATION is that the Indians built
their campfires under the protecting
lodges of the mountains against the
coal and it was thus ignited They
point to the fact that there are ruins
of the habitations of cliff jewellers
here, and that in their day the Goals
began to burn.
The coal miner in this region sees
still another possible cause for these
fires. In the dry mines, and most OF
them are dry mines, they observe that
when quantity Of water is thrown
upon a heap of dry coal, it sponta-
neously begins to burn, and if not
protected will burn the mine
Now it can be seen that if the rocks
are rent by some subterranean cause,
as sometimes happens, there may be
a sudden access of water to the fresh,
dry coal, causing spontaneous combus-
ton.

Of Interest TO the FARMERS.
Rv WAY of Comparison.

This is a 500, O00,0J trust, with
indefinite expansion, seeking also to
corner the egg and poultry trade.
Now, "trust" and monopoly" are
not in interchangeable terms. The
true monopoly must first control
the origin of production. The
Standard Oil Company was not at
first "a monopoly, not until it had
aquired almost the entire petroleum
output. When that was accomplish
ed the rest was easy. So with the
United States Steel. It now owns
or controls the available iron ore
and coal deposits of the country,

How to Battle Properly.
The oil stove must have at least
two burners. Fill one tub over
night with clean, cold water. In
the morning set the dish pan full of
water on the lighted oil stove.
While doing the chores it will be
heated. Empty this hot water into
the larger tub, add as much cold
water as you may wish. In ten
minutes you can take splendid
sponge bath and be fresh and ready
for breakfast.
Warm Baths Cooling.
Augustus the hot month for the
farmer, but how few know that the
hot bath after work is the cooling
bath. A cold bath is heating. Yes.
because it shocks the system. It
closes the pores without cleansing
the skin. 1t is refreshing only
while it lasts. The reaction is heat
ing. The warm bath opens the
pores, cleanses them and leaves one
cooler afterward. Any farmer with
two washtubs an oil oil stove, a
dishpan and large sponge can do
the trick.
The Agricultural Colleges.
We note indications in several
states of permitting the agricultur-
al colleges to close because of the
bill of expense. An unwise parsi-
mony. The dynamics of modern
civilization, in all it's functions, de-
mand concentration and intedsifi-
cation. Those states that wish to
stand in the front rank must make
agriculture a scientific and practi-
cal calling. They must furnish the
money and equipment for that pur-
pose. The farmers of every state
are entitled to their agricultural
college. T. teach farming now is
an accepted calling.
Protect the Songbirds.
Who will protect the songbirds
and all birds on the farm, IN the
cities, in the woods, from the ruth
less vandalism of sportsmen and uu-
thinking boys? All birds are a
source Of pleasure and beauty.
They are also useful and necessary.
What greater inspiration can man
have shan beautiful music, and what
more beautiful music can there be

Why the Jury Paid the Fine.

A Texan tells how an obstinate
jurynaan was. circumvented by his
fellow judges Of the facts. The
Offense charged was assault with in.
tent to murder. After the jury had
been out two hours it returned the
following verdict: eve, the Jury
find defendant guilty of aggravated
assault, and assess his punishment,
at $26 fine and herewith pay the
fne.''
On Inquiry as to the meaning OF
the last clause of the verdict it came
out that eleven of the jurors had
agreed that the defendant was not
guilty but the twelfth doggedly hung
out for conviction for aggravated
assault and would not consent to a
punishment less than a fine of s25

That Dairy Trust.

A GOOD old farmer from Chenango
County writes me, asking for some
further information about the new
Dairy Trust. He says that if such
a trust is formed he emphatically
will not sell out to it. No one can
buy his dairy, and he wishes TO
know how soon he will be crushed.
It May Be Years.
Let my good friend have no fear.
The Dairy Trust must be an accom-
plishcd fact before it becomes a mo-
nopoly. AS it stands, no one can
prevent the formation of a trust.
But its development into monopoly
NAV be prevented. To be a mono
poly. which means being the ab
solute dictator Of the output and
prices of dairy products, it must
own or control all the sources cf
supply.
A Mammoth Pr0pOSitlOn.
Does my friend suppose that ere
long this trust can control the en-
tire milk producing facilities OF the
country, farms. herds, feeds and
ali? Does he fear that they will
soon have the power to compel the
owners of lands ard herds to sell
their raw material on the terms
that they may prescribe?
The Vital Question.
That is the vital question. viii
they; can they? And when? The
accomplishment of these things will
be the hardest proposition trustma-.
kers ever have run up against.
Now before the trust era, our tim
Der, coal and other natural resour-
ces had fallen into the hands of
few private owners, relatively, and
these men, as individuals, were
easily persuaded to pool their hold
ings for greater gains.
Over Six Million Dairymen.
But to ask all the dairymen of
the United States to sell out to
this trust-ne nearly all the farmers of
this country-is proposition of
quite different character. An in
dividual coal owner could 60 into a
pool without embarrassment, but a
farmer is differently situated. In
the nature of things. he would be
victim, not partner. And es-
pecially will it be difficult for this
trust to deal with the farmer who is
entrenched behind the cooperative
creamery.
Will They Buy the Creameries?
Will this trust, then, buy up |
the creameries? Perhaps; but the
farmers. if they are wise, will not
let that come to pass. Men Of the
cooperative creameries, stand to-
gether! You are strong enongh to
fight this trust. If you hold out it
can never become monopoly.
This trust must be watched assid-
uously, and methods for defeating
it's attacks formulated carefully.
They will seek to buy the cream
buying plants first. undoubtedly.
One Trust Not Monopoly.
Power and money are great things
enormous terrors when put to
base uses. That. the Dairy Trust
may become huge is possible
There is one trust we can mention
that Is not a monopoly the Inter
notiOnal Harvester Com pany-be-
cause it does hot own the supplies
Of the raw materials it must use.
And, further, its products are in
competition in the markets with
similar ones of other manufacturers.
Blessed is the fact! And may the
dairymen long have the power to
live independently Of all trusts.

CABLE MEN DID NOBLY.

Superintendent McKenna of the San
Francisco cable station gives much
praise to the members of his staff for
the heroic manner i'm which they stuck
TO him throughout the whole disaster.
From the moment that the catastrophe
came until the Instruments were safely
landed in the cable hut ten miles away
the men worked like Trojans. Mr..
McKenna is proud of his force and
states that but for their unselfish de-
votion to the interest of both the cable
company and the community at large,
he could not have got into communion
ton with the rest of the world so early,
The staff is composed largely of young
men, much as the Honolulu office is
organized.
The San Francisco staff has heard of
the manner in which the news they
sent here by cable has been published.

SoNoMA Is NOT COMING.

A telephone message from w. G.. r.
win O. Co. was received by the Adver-
tiser at $3.50 p. m. yesterday, to the ef-
feet that the Australian steamship SER
vice would be temporarily abandoned
and that consequently the s. s. So
mona, due here next Tuesday, would
not leave San Francisco The Alameda

ever, and will probably be the first

leaves San Francisco OIL schedule time,

ing, but the goods are at the same
time undoubtedly proving a source of
solace to the Bay City people This
may mean butter famine in this city.
There is some question ms to whether
the Oceanic company means that it
has indefinitely abandoned its Austral-
ian run and may dispose of its feet, or
that only the Sonoma has omitted its
run for one trip, or merely been de-
layed in departure.
PACIFIC MAIL BOATS.
The following cablegram, received
yesterday by Hackfeld & 60. shows
that the japanese boats are to keep on,
and there is nothing as yet to indicate
any change in the running of the Pa
cific Mail boats:

The question has been raised as to
whether the Treasury Department, UNI
der existing circumstances, would
waive restrictions regarding passen-
gers going from Honolulu to San Fran
cisco in steamers under foreign flags,
such as the British and japanese liners
calling here. In reply to this the opin-
ion of the authorities is that the pen
atty would have to be collected, but
that probably the Department would
refund the penalty at the same time if
the conditions Of particular cases ap.
peared to warrant such action.
ABOUT THE CHINA.
As far as could be learned last even.
ing no news has been received here to
indicate the arrival of the steamship

the China may have gone direct TO

Mr.. Fisher will make no charge for his

ask where Mr.. Fisher expects to get
off. The answer to that question is:
Nowhere! He does not want to get

which you will be willing to give to a
good cause, send them to Fisher.
The Catholic Ladies' Aid Society met
yesterday and decided to send a hun
