WILL TRY TO
PREVENT A
COAL FAMINE
GOVERNMENT AND RAILROADS
TAKE MEASURES TO AVERT
SHORTAGE OF FUEL.
LANE AND TAFT TAKE MATTER UP
Unless Steps Are Taken Immediately
Conditions Will BE Worse Than
Last Year.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Stren-
uous measures have peen adopted by
the government and by the railroads
to avert a fuel famine in the west
and northwest. which is thought to
be impending next winter. Howard
Elliott, president of the Northern
Pacific railroad, recently wrote to
Commissioner Lane OF the Interstate
Commerce commission suggesting
the probability of fuel famine in
the west and northwes next winter
that might exceed in its serious pos
sibilities the famine OF last winter.
He advised that every effort be made
by the commission to Induce con-
sumers, including the government,
to lay in supplies of coal during the
summer months, pending the move
ment of the crops in the early au-
tumn Commissioner Lane immedi-
ately took up the matter with Secre-
taries Garfield and Taft, urging that
coal supplies at all depots of the gov
eminent be PM in at as early a date
as possible. The subject was con-
sidered at the last cabinet meeting
held before President Roosevelt left
Washington and it was decided that
the suggestion be adopted.
Secretary Garfield wrote to Com
missioner Lane in response to a let
ter which the commissioner had writ
ten him on the subject. This letter
contained this paragraph.
Il beg to acknowledge your letter
of June eth with the enclosure from
the president of the Northern Pacific
His suggestion regarding fuel is an
admirable one and will he acted up
on by the departments"
Commissioner Lane has received
from b. L. Staunton, chairman of the
railroad commission of Montana, a
circular which the mmission has
issued respecting an investigation in
TO the subject of the coal supply now
in sight and to be available for the
use of citizens of Montana during
the winter months of 1907 and 1908.
The inquiry shows that coal short
age exceeding that of the past winter
is not only possible, buc probable,
unless steps are taken to avert it
and the commission advises the peo-
pie to put in their supplies of coal
at the earliest possible date.
Commissioner Lane has been adj
vised that the city of Los Angeles,
Cal, has made arrangements to put
in full supply of coal during the
early summer months and he has
learned that the railroads Of the west
and northwest are placing at their
various supply depots all the coal
they can store conveniently.

ALLEGED DANCE
HALL ROBBER
UNDER ARREST

An individual giving the name OF
Pete Smith has been arrested on
suspicion of being the man who
caused the trouble at the Three
Deuces dance hall the other morning.
He is charged with the crime of rob
berry. A complaint has been sworn
to by George Mcclure, the manager
of the hall, who pursued the strang-
er and exchanged shots with him.
Justice Cartwright set The prelimi-
nary hearing for tomorrow afternoon
at O'Clock.
1t will be recalled that the fellow
entered the place and ordered a
round of drinks. He had no money
to pay for the same and had to put
up his watch as security. He soon
returned, however, and at the point
of gun forced the bartender to re-
turn the watch and to dig up $3.50.
This is how the robbery charge comes
in. Smiths bail has been fixed at
$500, which he has put up 1t is
understood that he has engaged
counsel and claims that it is a case
of mistaken identity.

ODD FISH LAW IN
THE STATE OF UTAH

In order that boy under IA may
fish or hunt in Utah it will be neces-
sary to dress him up in girls clothes
This is due to another curious err
ror found in the new fish and game
laws. The law provides that all per-
sons who desire to hunt or fish must
take out license. 1t then provides
that only male citizens over 4 years
OF age can secure a license. Ergo,
the boy is deprived of fishing by a
wise and beneficient legislature.
The law, however, provides that
no woman need take out license,
and gives the fair sex undisputed
sway over the waters and fields of
the state as far as hunting and fish
ing are concerned. This makes it
possible for all youngsters who de-
sire to fish to dress in their sisters
clothes and fish on undisputed.
But the law distinctly provides
that a boy under IA cart fish and
that apparently settles the lad who
wears pants.

GREAT PROGRESS
BEING MADE BY
STEAM SHOVEL
Big Machine Is Digging 300 Feet of
Filling Daily; Working ut
Night.

The big steam shower is making
great progress and is now making
cut every day fully 200 feet in
length. To those who have never
Witnessed such a machine in opera
ton ii is intensely interesting. There
are seven engines and they have a
capacity of forty horsepower The
shovel travels by means of it's own
power. sprockets and chains having
been arranged in such a manner that
the latter can be thrown off at any
time. One of the men employed in
the operation of the big machine
said that the engines can drive it
along on a good track at a rate of
10 miles an hour. The weight is rs
tons.
About five feet of filling is exca-
waited at time. When this distance
is reached operations are stopped
long enough to enable the men to
place a section of rails in front of
the machine and in a few minutes
she is at work again gouging out the
earth and boulders.
The filling isn't the softest in the
world and the bucket usually has to
take two or three bites before getting
full load. The other day a boulder
three feet in diameter was picked up
and it just about filed the bucket.
The filling comes ont in cakes almost
as hard as rock in places.
The machine is working nearly all
the time, as a night shift takes
charge and works by electric light
furnished by DYNAMO near the
creek about a mile and half dis
fant from the present scene of ope-
rations. An electrician has charge
of the lighting department and also
of the water supply. The dynamo
at the creek furnishes plenty of juice
for a number of incandescent lights
on the shovel and water is piped
from the creek to the scene of ope-
rations. AS the shovel moves along
extensions are made to the water
mains. The electric wires are also
strung as the work progresses.
1t is said that the filing that is
being thrown up on each side is to
be used as the grade for the railroad
Temporary tracks will be installed
so fiat cars can be run. The shovel
will then be taken back and will &c
