There is a whole lot of saneness

thing which Gene Grubb, of Garfield,
undertakes to do for this state. He
is member of the board of trustees
of the State Agricultural college. He
wants TO see that institution a sue

fat snap of the land grabbers. who
have been purchasing the lands of the
state set apart for the aid of the col
lege for the mere pittance of from
$500 to $500 per acre. To head
this off he proposes to lease the land
of the state, starting off with 1000
acres as an experiment and if that
works well he will try the 1000 on
the leasing plan. The revenue from
that will assist in materially main

SAY DRIVERS
SWIPE COAL

A source OF short weight deliver
les which reputable coal dealers
say they are called upon to com
bat Is the tendency of an occasion
al driver to maintain his own fuel
supply from loads en- route to their
destinations. Instances have been
Ncited in which the driver levied
tribute from sacked coal to the eX-
tent of few pounds from each, the
aggregate making a considerable
discrepancy. 1t is also stated that
drivers have at times contracted
the economical but crooked habit
OF dropping off few shovelfuls
from open loads when 1t came
handy to drive by home.
This charge is unjust to the
drivers in general, however, as
names of offenders are not speci-
fed. 1t is not charged that the
practice is by any means universal,
but there are said to be drivers
who had managed to keep them
selves supplied with fuel by this
means for months before being dis
covered Naturally the drivers re-
ply that this is merely a method of
lodging responsibility that should
fall upon the dealers.

COAL SHORTAGE
ADJUSTED

The coal shortage of 995 pounds
in a ton and a half order, cited by
Councilman Funk in committee of
the whole meeting Tuesday night,
has been adjusted by the Rock
Springs Coal Co., making up the
amount to Charles Wood, the
purchaser.
Nelson Martin, Of the Rock
Springs company, claims that a
mistake was made by mixing Or
ders for one ton and ton and a
half He claims the driver simply
delivered the respective orders to
the wrong parties. Wood says the
mistake was not ascertained by the
company until after he had meas
ured the coal, made kicks and en-
listed the services of councilman.
1t is generally believed about the
city hall and among coal men that
the new ordinance providing for
systematic inspection will prevent
all such mistakes as this instance
reveals, providing competent and
conscientious official is appointed
to the Office of inspector. The ma
jority of the dealers are en-
phatically in favor Of a measure
that will guarantee honest weights.

Northern Pacific grade separa-

Besides a casual observance of the
plans, the committee did nothing.

pany demands that Brown St, one

that although the improvement
might not be as desirable one as
some might wish, 1t is an improve

change from the present condition
