THE FUEL SITUATION.

The simple story of the coal short
age is that the coal measures of the
United States have all fallen into the
hands of syndicates whose chief BUSH
ness seems to be to operate them in
such q way as to bring the highest
market value for the output.
In great many instances the rail-
roads themselves have been party to
the crime of robbing the people to sat-
asfy the greed OF the corporations.
They have been convicted of owning
the coal measures as well as operating
the railroads over which the product is
Z marketed. 1t has aIso been demon
strated that private individuals and
corporations have been prohibited from
developing coal fields because such de-
yeiopment would interfere with other
properties where the railroads were
i directly interested.
with such abuses as this in mind
the president has offered a remedy in
the proposition that the government
svoWn and control the coal lands and on
crate them In the interests of all the
people The argument for the PROPOSE
: ton seems plausible and the situation
1s such as to demand this or even
more stringent regulations.

COAL COMBINE

SEATTLE, Wash, Tuly EFF the
rate for mining coal here were three
times what it is in the Northern eom-
petitive district in the East, where the
operators pay miners 30 cents a ton;
If the day help were to get three times
as much as miners do in the East, and
if the cost of doing dead work here
should exceed by three times the
amount charged for doing the same
work in the East, the coal men of this
section would be able to provide the
fuel for practically the present prices,
Which are three times greater than the
prices demanded in Cincinnati which
is at least $50 miles away from the
nearest mine. "-Latimer Davis.
Latimer Davis, who ha' spent much
of his life in the coal mines of the
East and has been a practical miner as
well as mine owner. ridicules the
statement of j. c, Ford of the Pacific
Coast company, who claims that there
is no combine. He says that Fords
remarks to the effect that while the
Pacific Coast company, of which he Is
the head, has Increased the price OF
coal rs per cent in two years. 1t has
only been able to increase it's profits
to the extent Of the 81 cents ton In
dicates exceedingly lax methods Of do
ing business.
1T is a poor manager who will get
So ton extra for his goods and only
be able to save 20 cents of it, re-
marked Davis. Certainly the men
working for the company have not
been awarded the other $3.50. He
talks of the cost of pumping the wa
ter out. That he knows, is a first cost,
and does not usually occur again."
There is no report to make yet"
said President C. E. Bogardus of the.
Renton Hill Improvement company,
which originated the demand for
grand jury to inquire into alleged civic
depravity. 1.-The committee of five is
looking into the coal situation, and if
it is found that combine is in opera
ton in restraint of trade, or that the
poor of the city are to be held up,
such a strong public sentiment will be
created that the proper officials will
be forced to act
Il am in position to promise that
something will be done and the public
may rest assured that we are doing
our duty"

at Glasgow university, and for over
half a century he remained a pro-
fessor of natural history at that in

works may be mentioned his invention

OIL FOR
ENGINE FUEL
~~

WALLA WALLA, June 26.-That
oil-consuming engines will soon be
used on all lines of the o. R. & NJ is
next change that will be made on that
road, the reason for which is the
shortage of coal.
Since the feel famine of last winter
the railroad companies and fuel deal
ers have been trying to induce the res
idents of this country to order their
supply of fuel during the summer
months, when it will be possible to Sc
cure cars and when the mines and
wholesale yards are not so rushed with
orders but the people have not taken
advantage of this advice, nor has the
enough to thoroughly impress upon
them the Importance of so doing, and
the result is that the condition next
winter is expected to be as bad If not
worse than It was last winter unless
the people of the country, during the
in the proposition Of keeping warm
than at present.
At the present time oil-burning en-
gines are in use on the main line Of
the o. r. & N. from Portland to Hunt
ington, the change from coal burners
having been made within the past few
months. and the change is being stead
Wy continued on the branch lines of
the road. 1t is thought that by the
time coal is again in great demand
the railroad company win be using
oil in every engine on its line, and
will not be affected in the least by a
famine.

VOTE MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP
Special to Evening Teller.

Special to Evening Teller.
JACKSON, Miss, June ga spe-
cial election is in progress here today
to decide whether the city of Jackson
shall acquire its own waterworks
plant.
The waterworks system Is now a
private enterprise, and the proposition
for municipal ownership has lined the
voters up into two factions, one of
which favors the proposal. while the
other is strenuously against the idea
of city ownership.
The champions Of municipal owner
ship have put up hard fight and are
confident Of success.

JUST FOR COMPARISON.

The American wage Garner receives
the best wages and works the fewest
hours and under the best conditions
of anyNworkmen in the civilized world.
This is statement often made in SUBJ
stance, but passed over lightly by those
who hear. A comparison OK actual con-
ditions is rarely ever made and needed
less times than it is made yet the pub
lie press of the country has at many
times given data to prove the asser-
ton. In this line of argument is the
following taken from the consular re-
ports and vouched for by the govern
ment's accredited agents:
United States Consul Miller at
Rheims, France, reports to the bureau
of manufacturers Of the department of
commerce and labor at Washington
the following concerning wages and
the cost of living in that country;
Mechanics of all classes in France,
such as carpenters, blacksmiths, brick
layers. stonemasons, plasterers, etc !,
y~ceive from 81 to $1.2O a day, and
painters 80 cents to 81 a day. High
grade machinists may receive little
more, and in Paris the wages are
somewhat higher than in the prov
inces,, but not much. Common laborers
receive from 40 to SO cents a day. The
average price for dressmakers and
milliners is 40 cents day. Servants
are paid from one-third to one-fourth
as much as in the United States, and
are supplied with inferior living quar-
ters and food. Until the new 1O-hour
law went into effect a few months ago
the laboring men of France worked
IL hours day. They began at s a.
m. and quit at p. M, with one hour
at noon. Women are not allowed to
work at night, and child labor under
IA years of age is prohibited.
"All mechanics in France are Obliged
to serve an apprenticeship of from two
to three years. and during half of
which period, at least, they receive no
wages and must board themselves. In
addition to this, each must give up
two years of his life for military serv-
ice, for which he receives / cent day
and board and clothes. 1t will be seen.
them that every mechanic in France
must expend four or five years of his
life without wages before he is pre-
pared to earn from 81 cents to $1.17
a day.
While the price of food products
may vary little in the different cities
throughout France, the following
prices per pound for Rheims gives a
fair idea of the average COST Fillet
of beef, so to so cents; faux fillet, 80
to So cents; rump steak, 81 to 35 cents;
veal, 20 to 35 cents, and mutton, 20 to
So cents. Some of the very lowest
grades of meat suitable for making a
soup for the working people. may be
purchased at from 10 to Is cents, but
it is principally bone. Other prices
are: Horse meat (illet de chevaD,
IL to Is cents; horse meat, cheap
quality. 6 to 10 cents; flour, of best
quality, all wheat, to cents; flour,
not all wheat, to 5 cents; butter, 40
TO so cents; cheese, 80 to 40 cents;
cheese, cheap quality for working
people, 5 cents; eggs, cents each,
or As cents dozen; wood, SIP a cord;
coal IS to 50 ton. and gas, cents per
cubic meter"

REFORM SCHOOL
Development

"a brief visit to the State Industrial
and Training school, situated q mile
west of st. Anthony, disclosed COM
mendable and interesting state of af-
fairs at that institution" says a special
dispatch to the Boise Statesman.
Through the courtesy Of Superintend-
ent ]. T. HUMPHREYS, the writer visit
ed all parts of the two main buildings
and looked over the grounds. The
state has here 200 acres of sub-irri-
gated land in body. all in cultivation,
all devoted to the interests OF this
worthy institution. There are 10 acres
in garden truck, eight acres in pota-
toes, a considerable area in fruit trees,
ornamental and shade trees. The great
er part is in pasture. grasses and grain.
The two main buildings, each of stone
and brick and three stories high, are
designated as the administration
building and the boys cottage. The
former contains the office, library,
dining room and girls dormitory; the
latter is used for boys dormitory
school rooms, shops and other pur-
poses. -
"A girls cottage is to be erected,
and the foundation walls for it are be-
ing built; still another building is. also
planned to meet the growing needs Of
the school, which at this time contains
SO boys and % girls. AS is doubtless
known, the inmates are received by the
70 bet, -
years and discharged at 81, unless
sooner paroled.
Practically all the work on the
farm, in garden and orchard is done
by the boys who are committed here;
and the girls do the cooking, laundry
work, sewing and other work. There
is tailor shop and machine shop for
the boys and barn for the care Of
the cows and horses. All this work, Of
whatever kind, is performed under d.
reetion of instructors. The idea is to
train the boys and girls in useful oc-
equations and instill habits of atten-
tiveness and industry. The school fea-
ture continues the year around, at
tendance of four hours per day being
required In this the common branches
are taught. While these students are
not permitted to leave the premises,
much freedom is allowed on the
grounds. There is a playroom for the
boys and one for the girls. In the
chapel Sunday school is held Sunday
morning, and pastors from various
churches in turn talk to the pupils.
"As a rule one sees here an ordi-
narily bright lot of boys and girls go
ing about their work with an air of
willingness and interest in what they
are doing. Evidently in the majority
of cases these young incorrigibles soon
yield to training and kind but firm
treatment
While these inmates are committed
to this institution by the courts, they
find it training school. the purpose
of which is to bring out the best there
is in them and return them to. the
state we'll prepared to play a credita-
BILE part as citizens. The discipline in
the school appears to be excellent, and
Superintendent HUMPHREYS is certain
ly well qualified to manage a school of
this character"
