Rapid City-According to G. s.
Donohoe, a coal dealer who has just
returned from Sheridan and Other
coal regions in Wyoming, there Is
every prospect of a coal famine for the
Black Hills and other sections in this
part of the country this winter. Mr..
Donohoe declares that the railroads
are unable to furnish sufficient cars
to supply the demand and that conse-
quently the price of coal is soaring
and agents everywhere are being told
that they will have to wait their
turn to be supplied. With the pres
emit good weather this lack of supply
is not felt, but a cold snap coming
on would work a hardship.

Fighting imported Potatoes.

Denver-If bill fathered by Sena-
tor Guggenheim receives the sanction
Of Congress In Washington, Ameri-
can farmers may be required in the
future to raise all the potatoes eaten
in this country. At present 100000
900 bushels Of "spuds" are imported
annually to supplement the supply
grown by America. The greater por-
tion of these imported potatoes must
be replaced by the irrigated lands of
the Western country. Colorado will
have large share in this production.
The measure is not designated pri-
marily to erect a wall of protection
for the potato industry, but is aimed
TO Prevent the importation Of disease
epidemics which are devastating for
eign potato fields. Agricultural sci
entists have been watching for some
time for traces of these fatal diseases
In America, and with the discovery
that they now exist to some extent in
Massachusetts, and New Foundland,
they Immediately took steps to pro-
cure national legislation covering that
point.
