Valdez in it's fight for cheaper coal is the source of much qualification there, and soon it's citizens will be enabled to buy a better grade of coal at almost half the cost which has been imposed upon them for the last decade. The fight was carried on against big odds but through the untiring efforts of Mayor Boyle and the city council the town government at last won it's point.
 "When the subject of a municipal wharf was first broached, the owners of a private wharf threw every obstacle in the path of it's accomplishment, at last appealing to the courts for an inJunc- tion restraining the municipality from purchasing the only available wharf site. The injunction was denied by Judge Cushman and the last obstacle removed.
 "Immediately steps were taken to purchase the old Reynolds wharf which was bought for S4,700. The wharf has been in disuse for number of years and at an estimated cost of S2,5OO the roadway and buildings will be placed in a substantial condition.
 "Valdez uses 5000 tons of coal an- nually for which the consumers pay from Sl5 to Sl7 per ton. In many in- stances when this fuel is bought ln small quantities, the purchaser is com pelled to pay the eXorbitant amount of S20. With the operation of it's own city wharf, the city will effect saving to it's citizens of S15,000 annually, as coal of a better grade can be sold on the dock for S9.50 ;per ton, saving of S4 to S7. It has been carefully estimated by the city government that the expense of maintaining the wharf and handling the coal will be paid out by it's method in buying the long ton, or 2,40 pounds and selling to the consumer the short ton, or 2,O00 pounds. This difference will be placed in what shall be called the "coal fund" and out of it will be taken the salary of the wharfnger and other expenses incidental to operation.
 "To accommodate small steamers and gasoline boats operating on the sound, a float will be constructed where these small craft will be permitted to land at a nominal charge for dockage.
 "This will encourage them to make this port their headquarters. A feature which will have tendency to increase business in this class of transportation and enable the merchants here to com pete with other places where there are no dock tolls. At the present time a buyer wishing to trade in Valdez must pay wharf charges on merchandise coming in and going out. This greatly increases the cost of supplies and creates feeling of antagonism towards the merchants.
 "The advantage of having cheap coal there will be to increase mining devel- opment, ss it will enable owners of mining property to reduce the cost of tunnel work from g to S3 per foot.
 "Dr. F. M. Boyle, mayor of Valdez. has been the chief figure in the fight for cheaper fuel and he says he can see nothing but good for the community in the movement. It is the duty said he, of municipal authorities in Alaska coast towns to establish and maintain a water front for public usage and thus avoid monopoly of such a public utility"

ment is, of course, acting on the de-
partment's decisions. Congress, how
ever, can, if 1t choose, enact some
measure Of relief, if not Of an actual
grant of all the school sections, then,
as Mr.. Pinchot suggests, of right to
some more advantageous form of in
demnity selection, or even of exchange
for solid body of present national
forest land. As to national forests,
they were established over so large a
part of Idaho because most of the state
consists of forested watershed. In
this establishment there was no time
to make detailed surveys. 1t was nee
essary to act quickly if public inter-
ests were to be conserved Hence some
agricultural lands were inadvertently
included Where these have been
found they have been eliminated to
the extent of many thousand acres. If
others are still included, we may ex-
pect their exclusion too. For the for
est service exists not only for the ben
eft of the federal government, but al
so for that of Idaho homemakers.-

PRESERVATION OF EGGS.
Properly Placed in Water GLASS VIII
Keep Long Time.

1t often happens that there is time
in early winter when fowls have fin
ished moulting that one is without
eggs unless some provision is made for
this beforehand; then too, by keeping
eggs one often gets a higher price for
them, but they must be like fresh ones.
| will, therefore, give method of pre-
preserving eggs in water glass which
is superior to packing in salt lime
water and brine, oats, wrapping in
newspapers or any other method
have ever used
To prepare the solution, make one
part of water glass to nine parts of
boiling water and immense the eggs in
it. Eggs will keep from ten months to
year in this, and be better for cook
ing than most eggs purchased at the
stores.
The eggs must be fresh when put in
the solution and the shells clean. If
required for boiling, hole should be
picked in the shell to allow the es-
cape of gas, which would otherwise
burst the she'll. 1t will not cost more
than one cent dozen to preserve eggs
in water glass. An earthen ware ves-
sci is best for this solution.
In packing eggs, it is most important
that they be absolutely fresh and
sound. Any eggs with flakes of lime
which may scale off and leave the con-
tents of the egg exposed, a cracked
egg or an egg which has begun to de-
teriorate should never be placed in the
preserving solution.
When grocers are reporting chicks
from eggs in baskets on the floor in
their stores it is time to realize the
Importance of gathering the eggs twice
daily. a few hours in the nest under
a succession of hens is enough to start
incubation and to take the first fresh
ness from an egg.
The quicker the egg reaches the So

IDAHO VS.. THE FEDERAL GOV
ERNMENT.

The State of Idaho is again in I'M
rest. It's senators at Washington have
been rejecting the unrest. The occa-
sion WAS the recent debate on the ag-
ricultural appropriation bill in gener-
al, and the forest service part of it in
particular. The forest service was at
tackled on two gromds--.first, because
national forests include school Sec
tons, and, second, because the forests
include agricultural lands The Idaho
people contend that the school sections
of those lands ought to be theirs. They
say: We went west as pioneers We
settled in Idaho, supposing that the
federal government would be as bier
al to us as it was to the other terri
tories, now states. In 1890 our terri
tory became a state. About the same
time the federal government began its
present aggressive forestry policy To
create national forests, vast tracts of
the public domain were taken away
three-eighths of our state. But this is
not the worst We are cheated out of
lands the revenue from which was
guaranteed to us. The federal gov
eminent has aided state education by
giving to a territory, when it becomes
a state, sections 16 and SO in each
township on the public domain. We
claim land our state supreme court
has just approved it that we became
the owners of these sections, whether
surveyed or unsurveyed No.
says the federal government, by
the decision Of Secretary Garfield,
confirmed by Secretary Ballinger,
you cannot have title until the
sections are surveyed The school
sections, merged in the national for
ests, are thus lost to us because adj
ministered as part of a federal, not a
state, system. The federal government,
it is true, allows us to offset the ex-
pected revenue by selecting elsewhere
on the public domain an area equal to
that of the school sections. But sup
pose we find no such revenue-produc-
ing area, we are cheated We are
cheated again, in being deprived hun
dreds of thousands of acres of agri-
cultural lands included within the ma
tional forests, though the federal gov
eminent had no authority to put any
thing but timber lands in forest re-
serves" The federal government is
not unmindful of these complaints.
The school sections question comes in
the jurisdiction of the department of
the interior over the passage of title
to public lands. The federal govern

Governor Brady, during his recent
trip to the Twin Falls country, made
good many votes by the frank fear

questions which are agitating the calm

some of the members and has in every
case made promise of keener inspec-

the men who supported him in this
county in tho last campaign, are luke

Senator Hepburn seems very per-
sistent in misunderstanding and mis-
quoting the people of this state on the
question of conservation. In all of his
addresses and speeches in this state
and in Washington, he has attempted
to discredit Pinchot and boost Balling-
er and has given the impression that
the people are with him in such views
Nothing could be further from the
truth of the matter, however. Few
people, while perhaps thinking Pinchot
an enthusiast and some times mistaken
in his well meant zeal, doubt his hon.
esty of purpose and his patriotic at
tempt to stop one of the biggest
frauds ever perpetrated upon the west
with its vast resources. Senator Hey
burn does not represent the people of
this state in his attempts to stop the
work of conservation. He does not rep
resent them any more than he did in
his disgraceful outbreak over the plac-
ing of Lees statute in the hall of
fame. He does not represent any
thing but Senator Hepburn, who is a
dead issue as far as the voters of this
state are concerned. Clifford Pinchot
could come to the stat, of Idaho today

THE NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERIES
DISPUTE.

| Last week proceedings were begun
before the Hague Court of Arbitration
to deal with the Newfoundland fisher
les question between Great Britain and
the United States. The question dates
back to Anglo-American Treaty of
1878. By that treaty we secured an
unrestricted enjoyment of the deep
sea fisheries on the Atlantic north of
our boundaries and renowned the in
shore fisheries except on certain
coasts. For instance, we were grant
ed the liberty to fish on equal terms
with British subjects on the west coast
lof Newfoundland. But complications
arose. Among others, two are special
| ly noteworthy. The first concerns
persons; the second concerns the
coast. The privileges conferred on us
by the treaty were given to the sin
habitants" of the United States. What
is an inhabitant? The Newfoundland
government holds that no fisherman
may be thus considered unless he is
genuine inhabitant of our Republic,
residing in this country, and shipping
from American ports. Our government,
on the other hand, contends that the
designation should be construed more
literally The second problem con
Germs the use of the word coast" in
the treaty. According to the conten-
ton of the Newfoundland and Cana
dian governments, the coast line, with
in which Americans may not fish,
should be along a line, not following
the sinuosities of the edge of the land
as the American government claims.
