son AS MANAGER.
Russ Alfred Of Citizens State Bank ut
Buhl, Elected to Presidency Of Insti-
tuition.

considerable surprise was manifest
ed yesterday in Twin Falls business
circles by the report that c. B. Whitley,
president and founder of the Farmers
& Merchants bank in this city, had
rendered his resignation to the direct
ors and that the same had been accept
ed. The board at the same meeting
elected Russ w. Alfred of the Citizens
Stste Bank at Buhl as president and
appointed G. A. Robinson of this city
as manager. The. latter assumed
charge at once. Mr.. Whitley is uncer-
tain as to his future plans, having
still interests in this county
Mr.. Alfred, the Buhl banker who
will act as president, is a man we'll
known and highly respected all over
the county, having in the five years
residence at Buhl proven himself a
broad gauge, progressive business
man and factor In the upbuilding of
the city of Buhl. His entrance into
the Twin Falls bank will be pleasing
to all of his friends.
Mr.. Robinson, upon whom the ac-
tual management of the bank will rest,
is a man worthy of the respect and
trust Of the people of this county. Dur
ing his residence of three years in
Twin Falls he has been actively iden-
titled with the business interests of
the city and has been active along the
lines of shaping the policies of the
city as private citizen. When Mr..
Robinson three years ago entered the
Commercial & Savings bank Oater
merged into the Farmers & Merchants
bank) as cashier, in very short time
the business of the bank doubled. Be
fore coming to Twin Falls Mr.. Robin
son was cashier OF the Shelton Ma
tional bank of Shelton, Nebr., and in
that position proved his ability as a
banker. To the many patrons of the
bank the placing of the management
OF the affairs in his hands is pleasing
move that will materially strengthen
the position of the bank in this city.

PROGRESS IN FUEL BRIQUETs
This Country Still Lays Far Behind
Some Of European Countries,
Especially Germany.

Considerable progress has been
made In the development Of fuel bril-
quoting In the United States during
the last two years, according to Ed.
ward w. Parker. In q statement just
made public by the United States
geological survey. This country, how.
evr. still lags far behind some of the
European countries. particularly Ger
many. In this line Of Industrial activ-
fty. In 1909 the production Of fuel
briQuets In the United States was
13s.661 short tons. valued at $685.. 697.
an Increase OF nearly 55 per cent. In
quantity over 1908. In 1911 the pro-
duction amounted to 212.443 short
tons. valued at $769, 721. the increase
IN two years amounting to 72,7S2 short
tons or So per cent. in quantity, and
to $317 ,024. or 70 per cent. in value.
} In Mr.. Parker's opinion. more atten.
ton should be given to this industry,
rs on II depends TO a considerable de-
gree the utilization Of some grades OF
fuel which are now wasted or sold at
less than the actual cost OF produc-
ton. The reprehensible practice OF
shooting bituminous coal on the
solid"-a practice notably prevalent
In the fields Of n~on-coking coal In the
Mississippi valley-produces an inor.
dinate proportion Of slack, which
might be made into briquets.
