withdrawing the Coal.

Persons who have been laying in
their supply of coal for the winter
months may have noticed that u-any
of the humps were coated with white
wash, and they doubtless wondered
what was the reason for the unique
decoration. Although the white color
may be considered to have improved
the appearance of the ordinary black
coal. that was not the object in view.
For many years the railroads have
been annoyed by coal thieves. and
thousands Of tons of fuel were stolen
annually. As the great carloads, con
tanning 40 tons each, are being carri-
ed from the mines. it is very easy for
unscrupolous persons to remove a
ton or two from car without caus-
ing any noticeable change in the ap-
pearance CT the load Only when the
car is again put on the scales is the
loss detected, and then it is too late
to trace the guilty parties.
To check these depredations the
railroad men have adopted the white
wash method of safeguarding their
freight.
After car has been loaded a So
luton OF lime and water is sprayed
ever the coal, and when the water
has evaporated a white coating OF
lime remains on the top layer of
Jumps Then, il. any of the coal is re-
moved. black patch viii be left upon
the white surface to attract the at

agents before the train has gone
many miles from the scene of the
theft. and thus the offender is easily
traced.-Harpers Weekly.

A Blind Iudue.

The death of E. f. P. Emmett, pres
ident of the Burnely Incorporated Law
Society, one of the two blind solicit
tors in England, may recall the fact
that in Ireland a judge Of the superior
court discharged his judicial duties
for years when totally blind. The
Hon. Richard Pennefather was APP
pcinteda baro of the Irish exchequer
in 1921. and died in 1859 while still
retaining his judicial Office. He was
for the last FIVE years of his life
wholly blind, and on February Is,
1856. in the discussion in the house
OF commons of a motion of Sir John
Shelley's moving for a return of the
dates of call to the bar OF the various

Irish judges, their appointments as

MORE VALLEY LANDS
BRING HIGH PRICE
RETURNS FROM PORTER BROS.
SHIPMENT
Lot of 600 Four Months Old Sold For
Nearly $500

Earl Porter of Porter Bros, Harm
ess and Saddlery company yesterday
received returns for lot of 500 four
months old lambs which the brothers
shipped to Kansas City last week On
their arrival there they weighed on
an average of sixty four pounds and
were sold at nine cents. This is a
half cent under the record price
brought by McQueen's lambs in the
same market the previous week, but
the Porter lambs weighed enough
more to make up the difference. This
total of $500 for live stock which
a little more than four months ago
was not in existence is calculated to
awaken interest here in the sheep
growing business. The Porter broth
ers have a ranch in the western part
of the valley where these lambs were
raised.
Their business in the city engrosses
their attention and so they hire
