GEO. FAREWELL PLACES PUBLIC
VEAL ABOVE PRIVATE
GAIN.

One of the most unselfish acts we
dare say that has ever happened in
the history of Chefan county trans
pired yesterday when George Farwell
offered to the county commissioners
his resignation in favor of M. ].
Vessels, who today win be appointed
by the board as fruit inspector of
this county.
Voluntarily giving up an Office
whose emoluments are the greatest
of any in the county, to man who
is unquestionably of very high
standing in his line, Mr.. Farwell has
sacrificed his personal interests sole
ly in behalf Of the public welfare.
A copy of his resignation appears in
another column of this newspaper.
Mr.. Vessels, the new incumbent,
is recognized as the leader of his line
of the state of Idaho. He is an ex-
pert in horticulture, and also knows
how to prepare the fruits of coun-
try for exhibits at the fairs. He was
fair commissioner from the state of
Idaho to both st. Louis and Port
land. Besides receiving recognition
himself, Mr.. Vessels was voted a
medal by the legislature of that
state for his efforts in behalf of the
exposition at Portland.
Recognizing these facts Mr.. Far
well. whose ability along the lines
OF horticulture are well known and
who was elected to the ONCE during
his absence, asked the county board
to place in charge this man high up
in horticulture.
The horticulturists recognized In
Mr.. Farwell a man of efficiency and
the Office was entirely unsought by
him.
But the wholly unselfish manner in
which he passes over the most lucra-
tive position within the gift of the
people of this county is assuredly
worthy of notice.
This is not the Arst time Mr.. Far
well has sacrificed himself, his time
and his money for the public good.
Not q year has passed but that he
has contributed more than his share
along these lines.

petition before the interstate COM
merce commission for the joint rates
sought, comes the well authenticated
story that the mill interests have de-
cided to abandon the fight they
threatened to make to ask for re-
ownership of the Hill lines and a for
fixture Of their franchises. This is re-
garded by a majority of the mill
men as an unnecessary and losing
fight. 1t was melodramatic Incl
dent of the fight of the mill men for
better railroad service.
1t is possible that the suits against
the Hill roads for damages, on &C
count of failure to provide sufficient
shipping facilities, will also be drop
ped. This question Is still kept
alive, but a majority of the mill men
want to abandon the fight. "If the
mill men can be guaranteed proper
service in the future they are will
ing to swallow their losses In the
past and forget the previous exper-
iences." It was authoritively explain
ed today.
800. Many Mills Interested.
The complaint of the timber inter-
ests sets forth the claim that the
Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers
Association and the Southwestern
Washington Lumber Manufacturers
Association represent Alt sawmills
having an annual output of $780,
100000 feet, board measure, annual
ly. The Single Mills Bureau ia rep
resented to speak for 453, single
mills with an aggregated annual out
put OF 14,200.000,000 shingles. It
is claimed there is now cut and ready
for shipment $4,000 cars of lumber
which cannot be moved because of
the refusal of the roads to provide
proper facilities.

Will Look Into Matter.

Trainmaster Let's will go to Rock
River tomorrow to examine into the
complaints made by enginemen that
the water pumped from the river there
is unfit for engine use, a large cattle
company having drained an alkali lake
into the stream. The alkali water is
said also to be killing fish in large
numbers. The trainmaster was at
Dale creek today, in consultation with
Fish Commissioner Campbell. The
reservoir, located about ten miles
above Rock River station and owned
by the Diamond Cattle company, was
little more than an alkali lake and a
test OF the wateer taken from the tank
at Rock River, shows that the water
contains $50 grains of alkali and is
causing no little trouble to engines.
Heretofore all trains have stopped 1T
Rock River to take water for the IN
giaes, but this is now being avoided SO
far as possible. 1t is expected hat ev-
cry fish in the stream below the reser-
voir will be killed.

Rolling Mill Notes.

The large shear, which was broken
"a day or two ago, has been restored
to service, and now both the outside
shears and the Crocodile" shears in
side are running full time.
No. 2 furnace is being rebuilt on
more modern lines, and when it has
been finished the bar mill will have
three first-class furnaces, enabling
that mill to double it's capacity within
an hours notice.
The bolt and nut machines are
closed down today, the fuel oil having
given u and a new shipment being
delayed on the road. Manager Jacobus
is taking advantage of the shutdown
to get the iron yards in better shape.
John Robinson, a splendid heater,
has been added to the merchant mill
force and the boys are going after a
new record. One of their furnaces is
out of commission today, and when
that has been restored they propose to
show what a real days work is like.
A charging device is being rugged
for the pudding furnace, a pan being
made large enough to hold a full
charge for that furnace, the material
being properly mixed in the pan and
then put into the furnace, saving both
in time and convenience.
The bar mill made it's big record
yesterday, turning out a little more
than 100 1000 pounds of product, using
scrap iron. This is almost equal to
the st. Louis record for similar mills
and greater than the Pueblo record.
The pudding furnace handled thirty
seven heats, a total of $4,000 pounds
Of material for the larger mill.
Orders have been issued to get all
the scrap iron now piled along the old
stock yards track inside the mill yard,
where it will be stored until it can be
cut and piled. The order came from
Mr.. McKeon, who is great On having
a trim look about the premises. A
track has been laid alongside the great
heap of iron and workmen are hand
ling it by e of small push cars.

in the close money market. Not only
Chicago merchants, but bankers out

that travelling statesmen have been
called in.

LOSS IN PRODUCTION
OE PRECIOUS METALS.

Colorado fell down" harder than
any other state in the matter of gold
production in the fiscal year of 1906.
George 8. Roberts, who has just retir.
ed as director of the mint, has compil-
ed statistics relative to the production
of gold and silver in the various states
and territories. 1t shows that during
the fiscal year the decrease of gold
production in Colorado reached $2,766,
700, while California lost 1864 200;
South Dakota, $3O9. 900; Wyoming, $1S,.
900. California Offset her loss In gold
somewhat by increasing her produc.
ton of silver by 1876 $500 ounces. Sum,
med up, the value of the gold mined
in California in the fiscal year was SIS,
$4,000; Colorado, $22,934 400; Oregon,

Water Into Ice Pond.

Water was turned into the new ice
pond here this morning, to test the
channel and the levee, and everything
was found well nigh perfect. The pond
when full will furnish about fifteen
acres of surface from which to harvest
ice. 1t was found that the water from
the river did not wash the channel,
the banks are holding well and the en-
gineers believe the bottom Of the res

COAL TRADE
UNION PACIFIC NOT HANDLING
COAL DIRECTLY TO THE CON-
sUMERs ANY MORE.
Buying Coal For Its Own Use and Per.
hitting Rock Springs Product to
Of the country-Aiding Small op,
orators to Open for Business.

THAT the Union Pacific meant what
it said when 1t sent out the notice that
1t had gone out of the commercial coal
business Is shown by the assistance
this road Is now giving to Independent
operators who wish to spend the money
to develop some of the coal mines of
Wyoming" said a railroad man to the
Omaha Bee yesterday. THE company
is nov buying coal for its own use IN
Nebraska, Colorado and eastern Wyo'
ming and has permitted the coal from
Rock Springs to be taken west to assist
in the development of the new re-
sources along the lines of the Harri'
man roads. This policy is costing the
road a large amount of money because
it Is far more expensive for it to try
to run its locomotives with the cheap
er coal for which it has to pay a good
sized original cost and then pay the
freight, when it could mine its W
coal and haul with its own locomotives
to the point of consumption.
Much Coal Stored.
"One reason for the %congested con.
dition of the road at times is because
Of the inferior coal. The road is still
buying and storing and at present has
between 100000 and 100000 IONS OF
eastern coal stored at various points
along the line.
"a lesson was learned last winter
when a coal shortage existed all over
the west, and to guard against a repe.
tition of this the officers of the Union
Pacific have issued repeated warnings
to consumers along the line to prepare
for the possible shortage OF winter. The
Union Pacific has laid in this vast
amount of fuel, but this will not be
sold because Of the action of the in
terstate commerce commission, which
DEGREES a railroad company cannot en-
gage in the buying and selling OF coal
as a commercial commodity.
Union Pacific Helping.
THAT the Union Pacific will do ev-
erything possible to increase the coal
output of the west is shown by the
fact Of its building a branch line from
Rock Springs north to an extensive
coal field twenty miles away, owned
almost entirely by independent opera
tors"
