WANT BETTER WEIGHTS.
Coal Dealers Make Demands of Rail-
road and the Mine Owners.

The coal dealers of southern Idaho
held lively meeting at the capital
yesterday. While the personnel was
small, rs different dealers were repre-
sented at the meeting. Sessions were
held both morning, afternoon and even
ing and resolutions unanimously adopt
ed to authorize the board of directors
to confer with the Short Line offisials
to adjust the matters of destination
weights and ask that claims for short
age be duly substantiated.
During the day the constitution and
bylaws adopted by the association a
month ago were greatly amended and
modified. Under the constitution no
question of the price of coal can be
discussed, neither is any restraintive
trade attempted in any way.
|. Prior to the evening session, a dim
ner was enjoyed in the Jungle of the
| Owyhee. The table had for center
piece tiny scuttles of coal surrounded
| with smilax.
The officers elected were as follows:
President, A. w. Wicher, Boise; vice
| president, George E. Hill, Rigby; sec
retary and trasurer, j. A. Waters,
Boise; directors, G. B. Channel, Twin
Falls; H. B. Ruebelmann, Pocatello;
| i. SdluWClly Vu. I1dAlCy,
Boise.
The following resolutions we're
adopted:
| Whereas. the retail coal dealers of
! southern Idaho have never established
/ any trade ethics in the conduct of their
| business, and
| Whereas, the railroads and mine
owners have never shown disposition
| to recognize any of their claims for
| shortage in weights, and complaints in
regard to grades, and
Whereas. during the winter months
when coal is in great demand, there
usually exists shortage of cars. max
ing it impossible to get plenty of clos
ed cars in which to ship coal, and
| Whereas, the retail dealers in or
der to get supply of coal and keep
stock on hand for the needs OF the
consumers often have to authorize
shiDment in open cars, and
i Whereas, coal shipped in open cars
is subject to pilferage while en- route
and the retailer has heretofore been
compelled to stand the shortages caus-
ed thereby, and
Whereas coal while in transit Is in
charge OF the railroads and they should
! be held responsible for It's delivery to
| tuC COuSI6u0C llAO OIACl CA&9066 vi
merchandise, and
Whereas, unnecessary delay in ship
ment OF coal while en- route largely
prevails and retailers cannot get
prompt deliveries, all of which is de-
trimental to the retail consumer, new
therefore, be 1t
Resolved, by the retail fuel dealers
Of southern Idaho, in convention as

OF December, 1911. and they hereby in

brated Maharanee and brushes It, Hin
doc declares ii was not the genuine. An
expert later pronounces all the stones

Donnelly and Carson investigate. They
decide that the theft of the original gems
was accomplished by some one In the
house. Miss Elinor Holcomb, confidential
companion OF Mrs. Missioner, is sus-
pected One of the missing diamonds Is

tests that Elinor is innocent, but she Is

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

81 can truthfully say Cuticura REM
edies have cured me of four long
years of eczema. About four years
ago I noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving it any attention, it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If l would have them in water for a
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. could
lay pin in them. After using all
the salves l could think of, / went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.
so after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, 1 pur-
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely well, one set being all / used"

Queer Hotel Custom.

Hotel customs throughout the world
are varied. A hotel in France Is on
wheels and turns so that any room can
be given sunlight. Regulations govern.
ing the length of bed sheets have been
made in certain states. Probably the
most unique custom prevails in Tempe,
a town in the Salt River valley. Arizo
ma. Here the proprietor refunds
the hotel charges to all his patrons on
any day the sun does not shine. Al
first this seems benevolent, but look.
ing into the matter we find that he has
been called upon to remit to his guests
only once In the last FIVE years. Guar.

ture.

interviewing the Swami.

While Britt was speeding south
ward In the taxicab two men were in
the midst of animated discussion in
the Swami's room. They were the
scholar himself and his up-to-date
friend, Prince Kananda. The prince
had arrived in the gloom-enshrouded
house only a few minutes before. He
had uttered several short, sharp SEN
fences big with interest that had
stirred the Swami from the repose
usual to the Oriental priest. 1t was
evident that Kananada expected a re-
sponsive remark from his friend, and
that the Swami, feeling the obligation,
was weighing his words before utter
ance.
Nothing of the slightest interest to
us was found" said Kananda, evident
ly in repetition. He had seen a skep-
teal expression spread over the
Swamrs bronze face, and anticipated
an inquiry.
THE search was thorough" asked
the scholar.
my dear old chap" said the Prince,
lis it likely we would go to such ex-
traordinary lengths without being
most painstaking in that respect? A
speck of diamond dust could not have
escaped u.s."
A slow smile cleaned through the
mask that comprised the scholars
features. Mock Difference colored his
manner as, taking the mouthpiece Of
the Oriental pipe from between his
lips and tossing the tube over to the
divan, he arose and paced the length
OF the room.
Far be It from thy servant, o
Prince" he said with palpable sar-
casm, ito question the method pur.
sued by so illustrious a parsonage;
but" and he here returned to the easy
familiarity of their ordinary inter-
course, "since the search was made so
thoroughly, since it was climax to
a deed so venturesome that it might
have embroiled you even with such
slow-witted persons as the policemen
OF the Western world, would it not
have been well to have got the right

II mean, your Royal Highness,"
said the priest with another touch of
ironic homage, that the man whom
The brilliant All and his equally intelli-
gent assistants seized so boldly in the
park, and then spirited away with a
skill hardly to be equaled by an In
dian schoolboy, was not the person
whom 1t was worth your distinguished
while to search"
The Prince was dumfounded. He
circled the table, fished in his pocket
for cigarette, rolled Il abstractedly
between his thumb and middle finger,
lighted 1t, and then watched the in
scutable features Of him whom for SO
many years he had called master"

last. And I gave my personal atten.

explicitly, and ordered him to see

NOTARIEs SHOULD Be CAREFUL

public cannot be too careful in taking
the acknowledgements of persons they
do not know, is evidenced by the E. D.
Bell case at Fergus Falls. Bell came
to Fergus Fails last winter and repre-
sented himself to be a real estate
dealer. He announced that he had
purchased certain piece OF land and
later succeeded in making q sale of it,
He then produced q deed from the
owner to himself, collected tho money.
decided the property to the owner and
disappeared. Later the deed to Bell
was discoved to be q forgery. The
forged instruments was duly &C.
knowledged before w. q. Mahon, a
notary pubic at Fargo. Bell had i'm
personated the owner and had persuad-
ed Mahon to take the acknowledgment.
J: Tne attorneys for the innocent pur-
chaser are now preparing to bring suit
against Mr.. Mahon for $925. tho
amount paid to Bell. They have in.

for the entire amount paid to Bell.
