The report Of State Coal Mine In.
spector Conner Thomas Of Utah, re-.
Gently presented to the governor Of
that state, contains some pertinent
reasons for the fuel shortage, which,
we opine, are applicable to the country
at large. Four reasons are assigned
for the present shortage Of coal in.Utah,
viz, the tremendous growth of the
country supplied with coal by the
Utah mines; the extensive construc.
tion work now going ON, which has
drawn on the SUPPLY of labor so as
TO decrease the supply formerly avail.
able TO work the mines; the great
increase in newly opened metal min.
ing fields in the West and Southwest,
which has increased the demand for
Utah coal over 200 per cent, and the
increase Of over 100 per cent in de.
msnd caused by the Garfield smelters.
In a feeble effort TO meet this In.
creased demand the Utah mines have
increased their output during the last
year about 80 per cent, The oondi.
tions, which are unprecedented, are
undoubtedly of general existence ..as
far as the United States is concerned,
and the general industrial prosperity
has made heavy demand on the coal
producing states, Mining Reporter.

DISTANT FIELDS LOOK
ALWAYS GREENER
But Travellers for Windy Hollow
Will Find tho Way Rough
and Tedious.

Murphy. Oregon, Jan. i, 1907
Kind Editor: l read recently in 1
mining Journal an elaborate descrip
tion, written by Mr.. D. H. Stovsll. o
the Windy Hollow mines in LAX,
County and this state.
Now l am not knocker, and
wouldn't say anything to dishearter
the honest men interested in mines il
the Coyote hills. or to disparage tn,
rambling prospector who wishes tt
cast his lot in this Utopian Of the
desert. But I do honestly believe thai
the mine owner and the prospector,
would both rather have the truth con
cerning these distant strikes.
In writing this. cast no reflections
on Mr.. Stovall for / know from his
article, that he has never been on the
ground, and also that he has been
grossly misinformed. In the first
place, he tells us that the mines are
only s5 miles from Lakeview, the
county seat Of Lake county. Now
the Government mail contract from
Lakeview TO Plush is for 45 miles and
the mines eight miles beyond Plush,
and this eight miles not yet In shape
for four horse load.
He tails as that the strike was re-
cent and accidental and that the
LOTUS Bros. have refused 800, 900
for their Jumbo property, while in
fact, John Lotus has panned gold
from that locality for the past 10
years and their offer Of 500, 900 was
was from . bonding schemer from
Goldneld and was accepted but never
mAtured.
A. to the mines being surrounded,
- he says, by fertile farms and
orchards" "'Tis q consummation
devoutly to be wished" for il there is
any kind of farm, except a hay
ranch. within 30 miles Of them,
never saw it, aud I've spent three
Summers in that vicinity.
Concerning the wonderful rush in.
to the region there never was more
than $50 people on the grounds at one
time and among all the cowboys in
the country. and l expect I'm per.
sonally acquainted with rs OF them

lots of it, I've seen it in the nan

PROFESSOR LYMAN CERTAIN THAT OPEN

Steamboat Plan Must Be Gut Out Thinks Omnibus
Bill Will Go Through

'It is safe to say the passage of
the open river bill is assured; unless
something extraordinary happens"
said Professor w. D. Lyman who re-
turned this morning from a trip of
10 days to Olympia in the interests
of the bill He thinks the good event
will happen this week.
There is every reason to think it
will pass because there are enough
members in both houses in favor Of
it to secure its enactment.
The bill referred to by Professor Ly-
man is the new bill drafted by Judge
Goldman in consultation with Repre-
sentative Thompson and Professor Ly-
man, which provides for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 by the state to be turn
ed over to the U. S. government engin-
eer.
General opposition to a commission
and the statement of Colonel Roess-
ler, of the U. S. engineers that only
1925, 900 could be used to advantage in
the next two years were the causes
which sealed the fate Of the original

on this feature:

Thousands of acres of grain land in

of dollars as a result of the severe cold
snap of last month.
It is on the north hillsides where

Bowe and Ennis ranch owned by
Thomas Bowe and Tom Ennis is one
Of those which will have to be reseed-
ed. The work of replanting 800 acres
will begin this week.
Another thing which is causing in
convenience to scores of farmers just
now is the unusually early advent of
the wet weather last fall. This soaked
the ground so early that plowing could
not be done at the usual time by the
farmers in the Russell creek neighbOr-
hood and caused a rank growth of
weeds which must be plOwed over now.
Farmers up Birch creek and in the
vicinity of the Cottonwood will also
be sufferers from the luxuriant growth
caused by the excess of early rains.
The Abbott and Harvey ranch will be-
gin the work of turning down the
green growth this week.
In the Waitsburg neighborhood the
fields are looking fine and are al
ready green with a nicely started
growth of grain according to Messrs.
Luhn and Jennis who took a 60 mile
ride through that section yesterday.
They say the roads are in awful
shape in some parts of the county
