I'VE are satisfied that the local coal
dealers of Ogden are not IN any trust
ol combination to control or make
uniform prices on coal In the city.
and that the price OF coal was adj
vanced by the Wyoming producers 90
cents a ton on the 18th of October
1910. and by the Utah Fuel company
on the 18th OF October. 1910.
I'VE are satisfied tnat on the first
OF November there was over ten thou
sfnd tons of storage coal on hand
which cost the dealers 70 cents per
ton less than 1t could be laid down in
their yards Tor now, being the 25
cents allowed by the railroads on
storage coal and the SO cents advance
made by the producers about the last
OF October.
Owing to slack and short weights
we do not consider the profit unrea-
sonable, but on account of the large
amount OF storage coal on hand at the
lower price. we recommend that Il re
duction of 25 cents per ton be allowed
tor cash sales. 1t appearing that the
cost Of coal Is excessive at the mines
and that the railroad rates are much
too high. we recommend that the We.

PROFITS MADE BY THE
OGDEN COAL DEALERS
WEBER CLUB COMMITTEE COMPLETES IT'S INVESTIGA-
TON AND RENDERS A REPORT TO
PRESIDENT HEYWOOD.

Claiming that the people of this
city are being literally crucihed on
the cross OF high prices by the public
service corpora ions which control the
coal output of the intermountain coun-
try, the Weber club committee, ap
pointed TO investigate the alleged coal
combine. made its report &c President
=. r. Haywood last evening and rec
commended that the local organization
exert its influence toward the secur-
ing of a railroad and public utility
commission.
No Combine Among Dealers.
Primarily the Investigating body
discovered only this. That there Is
no combine OF organization of any
lind whatsoever among the retail
dealers OF Ogden and that their
profits are not excessive. The report
outlines in no unmiStakable terms
that the mine owners are charging
an excessive price for their product.
and that the railroads are charging
excessive freight rates.
Profits on Coal.
According to the investigators, local
coal dealers realize profit of from 10
to 80 cents per ton on Wyoming coal,
Go cents per ton on Castle Gate lump
coal. and 65 TO 80 cents per ton on
Castle Gate nut coal These facts were
aScertained after examining a dozen
retail dealers of this city.
The complete report OF the commit
tee as submitted 10 President Hey
wood last evening. following a long
afternoon session, Is as follows.

Dear SIr:-Your committee ap-
pointed to investigate the high price
OF coal In Ogden City respectfully re-
port as follows;
we requested nearly all OF our
local coal dealers to appear before
the committee and they came willing
~ and answered all questions asked.
and from such Information we find
that the present price of coal at the
mines ON the cars is as follows All

are $175 from Castle Gate. Utah
Rock Springs. Kemmerer and Dia-
mondvIlle. Wyoming, per ton,
I'VE find that coal is being sold by
the retail dealers at from $500 TO
$3.50 for Rock Springs, Diamondville

the Castle Gate lump at So and the
Castle Gate nut at from S575 10 Sc
We find that the price one year ago
was S5.75. except during a part of the
winter, when lt was $3.50 for all kinds
OF lump and nut coal. The teamsters
charge seventy~ive cents per ton in
ton lots or over, and for less than
half a ton 30 cents for delivering the
coal. and 1t costs 10c per ton for the
unloading from the car, making the

sented on the diamond by another strong
team. The plan most favored just now
is an entirely home, grown bunch of

very considerably and need not weaken
the team appreciably. Perhaps few
more games would go to the enemy, but
we can't win 'em all anyhow, and the
chances are enough would be won to

A Man and Twenty Acres.

- A bulletin lately put out by the de.
partment at Washington tells of a far
mer of Pawnee county Nebraska, who
has made an unusual success in the
farming of very unpromising twenty
acre tract. The owner came from
Switzerland ten years ago, working out
until he had saved $275, when he bought
the tract in question for $3.50 an acre,
and it was conceded 10 be the poorest
land in the neighborhood, covered with
brush and small trees. He cleaned it
up and developed it along intensive
lines until today he has it all paid for,
neat house on it,with stone basement,
barn and other outbuildings, and has
beer offered 81, $500 for it. He has late
ly made three pleasure trips to Colorado
and spent three months Of last year in
Switzerland. His annual net revenue
from this small tract averages 81 900.
The methods which the owner follows
are OF especial interest. The land is
kept busy from spring until fall. At the
cultivation of potatoes corn is planted
between the rows. In this way ul
crop of potatoes is secured and fair
crop OF corn. AS high as TOO bushels Of
potatoes and seventy bushels of corn to
the acre have been grown 10 this way.
The corn usually has to be hoed once,
but the potato vines so nearly cover the
ground that not much working Of the
corn is required. By the time the corn
needs the ground the potatoes are ripe,
while the corn is in the shock before it
is time to dig the potatoes. Sometimes
part of the potato patches are sown with
milet or sorghum before the last cult
