UTAH COAL FOR NAVY.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 16.--If tests
soon to be made with Utah coal prove
successful, the government will buy
millions of tons of fuel from the mines
of Carbon, Emery and other counties
in that state for battleships and other
government craft on the Pacific coast.
The matter has been brought to the
attention of the navy department Of
ficials by Congressman oJseph How.
ell, who has urged that he coal Of Utah
is not inferior to that in any other
section of the country and that 1t
should be given fair test by the
navy for use In the ships which ply
the waters of the western ocean.
The matter is now coming to a
head through the urgent and contin-
ued demands or the Utah congress-
man, and will doubtless be included
in the army and navy appropriation
bill which will be passed at this ses.
sion of Congress. At the present time
the government is making tests or
coal from the state of Washington for
the purpose of determining whether 1t
is of the quality of the Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and other eastern Goals
which have for so many years been
supplied exclusively to the govern
ment ships, even when plying the
western waters.
The theory OF, government experts
is that the Washington coal Is Of
practically the same standard as the
Utah and Colorado Goals, and that IL
the product from Washington proves
efficient then the iron-clad monopoly
of the eastern coal barons will cease
But Congressman Howell of Utah has
maintained that no matter what is
! proved by the tests of the Washing
ton coal, the output of the interior
of the west should also be given fair
test to determine whether it will meet
the requirements of the navy officials.
