MAY FORCE COAL SALE.
San Francisco Authorities viii Try
To Relieve Fuel Famine.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10.-Unless
TIE coal situation is relieved San
Francisco will suffer seriously by next
week. There is at present in the bunk
ers in the hands of the retail dealers
little more than seven days supply of
fuel After that the problem will be-
come decidedly serious. There are no
colliers on the way to this port and a
genuine coal famine threatens the city.
The scarcity of fuel is being felt in all
cities across the bay. Prices of fuel
are even higher in these places than on
this side. There is talk of movement
to ask the Southern Pacific to sell half
its reserve supply of coal at a reason
able figure to relieve the situation.
The railroad company has stored away
somewhere about 1000 tons.

Land for Goat Raising.

In q general way, all land in the
United States except very low.
swampy tracts, are suitable for goat
raising The feed that goats prefer
is browse with a small admixture OF
weeds and grass, and therefore those
tracts blrdened with brushwood and
briers are especially desirable. The
fact makes it clear that in the colder
parts of the country it would be neces'
sarv to provide some feed in winter,
as nothing but the soft twlgs remain
at that time as browse. Goats will
cat grass if required to do so, and
will thrive upon 1t, but grass land Is
regarded as being so much more
profitable for hay production or as pas
ture for cattle and sheep that the plac-
ing of goats upon it is not TO be con
sidered.--G F. Thompson, United

Financial support will be given by the
chamber Of commerce and without in
terest to an irrigatation project by
means of which %, 600 acres in the north

irrigated and made fruitful After hear
ing the report of the irrigation commit
tee of the chamber it was decided to oadd
several members to the committee and to
solicit fuods to defray the expenses of a
preliminary suruey, which it is estimat
ed will cost 5000
The plan is to construct a reservoir by
damming the Laramie river at Glendev
ey which will hold 900, 900 cubic feet
of water. This water will be taken to
the plains in the northern part of Lar
inner county through ditch which
which which will cross the divide be
tween the Cache La Poudre and Lar
annie Rivers. The cost of the prhject
is estimated at 81 900. 900 and it is pro
posed, if after a preliminary survey it is
found feasible to organize an irrigation
district and vote bonds for the enter
prize.
The irrigation committee reported that
would be of great benefit tothe city and
and the county and recommended that
the Chamber of Commerce give it official
sanction. Andrew Tenney, an irriga
