SHEEP SNOWBOUND
ON IDAHO RANGES
Short Line Urged TO Rush Cars to Ship
Flocks to Winter Ranges
In Utah.

General Freight Agent j. A. Reeves of
the @. S. l.. received letter this morn
Ing. from Publicity Agent Joel Priest
at Boise, stating that a hundred thou
sand sheep In southern Idaho were in
danger of starving to death because
tho deep SHOWS had covered up the
ranges so they could not feed. Mr..
Priest urged that every accommodate
ton possible be given the sheepmen in
the way OF accelerated service In for
warding corn from Nebraska that the
sheep might be saved
The freight department Is also in re-
celpt OF requests from American Falls,
Ida, for so cars with which to ship
$1,000 sheep from that section to Tooele,
Utah. for driving out on the western
ranges, on account of the deep SHOWS In
the north. The railroad people In COM
mcnting on this state of affairs say
that the trouble Is due to improvidcncc
on the part of sheep owners All the
driving to the winter ranges should
have been done not later than October,
while the last of December is finding
sheep on the trail to the winter range.
The railroad men say drovers seem to
think they can pay no attention 10
emergencies, but just trust to ProVi-
dence when they do nothing themselves,
Under the circumstances. 1T is not
strange the sheepmen are in trouble.
However, the Short Line officials viii
do everything in their power to holp
the shecpmen pull through. and get
corn through from Nebraska as speed
lily as possible. All the cars available
will be sent to American Falls; but 1t
is not good judgment on the part of
livestock owners to expect the rail-
road to keep a big lot Of cars con-
stnntly on hand to meet emergencies
that these owners ought to have pro-
vided against.

COAL FAMINE STORIES
WILL NOT HOLD WATER
Railroad Officials Investigate Idaho
Shortage Stories and Find All
Orders Delivered.

Some idea of how exaggerated the
coal famine stories are In different
sections of the country is the Instance
from HALEY, Ida. The Wood River
Times of that town has been attacking
the railroad charging IL with being
responsible for the shortage OF coal
which exists in that section. 1t was
stated that there was TO coal to be
had in HALEY, and there was none on
the road. and that the railroad would
be responsible for any suffering that
might ensue The paper further said
that the dealers of the town were un-
able to get their orders filled for coal
and that the railroad deliberately failed
to haul coal in on their order
The matter was sent up to the Office
of the general superintendent of the
Oregon Short Line. a letter from the
tanning the charges and asking for the
delivery of special cur of coal to
his order was received, and pending
Investigation a rush order was placed
for the delivery of the car OF coal
Then ielegraphlc investigation was
instituted and II was found that every
car of coal ordered by the HALEY deal
erS had been promptly delivered, and
that not one order remained untitled
and that at the time the paper was
complaining that the railroad failed to
deliver cars of coal, there were no
orders to be filled.
THE railroad Is doing everything in
its power TO supply all points along Its
line with coal" said an operating Of
fetal of the Short Line tnis morning,
"and we feel that articles like the one
referred to are published which are
wIlfully untrue arc more for the pur-
pose of injurIng the railroad than for
the protection of the people.

the same official, ''our line received 2l
cars OF coal yesterday. with about
1.200 tons billed in addition for the
day. There is no coal famine In Salt
