S1Q,0OO,OOO TRANSACTION
UNDER WAY FOR UTAH COAL
FIELDS AND NEW RAILROAD
What the Big
Deal Includes

The Castle Valley Coal
company's properties in
Emery county, taking with
them the Western Fuel
company of this city, have
been sold.
The Blackhawk coal
mine, recently become a
producer, has been sold.
An option on the Consoli-
dated Fuel company's prop
critics, which will expire in
about three months, is un-
doubtedly to be exercised
before expiration, trans
ferring these holdings to
new ownership.
The Castle Valley and
the Southern Utah rail
roads, running from Price
TO Mohrland and Hiawatha,
are being transferred in the
deal.
Negotiations involving a
great acreage of coal land
now owned by numerous
individuals and companies,
and in the vicinity of these
named properties, are in
course of consummation.
These acquisitions and
proposed purchases are in
behalf of interests repre-
sented by William G.. Sharp,
president of the United
States Smelling, Refining
and Mining company, with
headquarters at Boston,
Mass.
With 1000 acres of coal
lands in Emery county, in
the big coal zone containing
the other properties, the
Utah Coal and Coke COM
pany has been incorporated.
A new line of railroad,
evidently projected to tap
these vast coal deposits in
Emery county, has been sur
veyed.
A sum approximating
S10,000,000 is involved in
the deals already made,
with a great additional sum
to be added to the outlay in
acquisition Of the numerous
coal properties now in nego-
tiation,

public the result OF the IN
qUiry into the books and minutes OF
the United States Steel corporation
conducted By Farquhar J. McRac, an
expert accountant.
The McRae report reaches the con
cmsion that the Steel corporation oper-
ated in restraint Of trade and prevents
competition through manipulation OF
prices: through the influence OF the so
called 'Gary dinners by control OF
raw materials. and through a system
Of interlocle,ng directors in var7ons
companies. 1t also tends to contradict
some Of the testimony given by steel

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

The national Department of Agriculture is
almost daily proving that 1t Is rapidly becom-
ing potential factor in the welfare of the
farmers. The latest move on the part of the
department-establishng headquarters for a
poultry expert in Virginia, with the idea
90 organizing boys and girls poultry clubs
ie an excellent plan. This expert proposes to
instruct the farmers In modern methods OF
raising poultry and In the production and
marketing of eggs, and to cooperate with
them, to the end of raising the standards of
every branch of the poultry industry The
astounding statement is made that s45, 900, 900
ts lost annually to the farmers of this country
alone in the improper production and handling
of eggs, and OF course the Virginia farmer
bears his share of this loss. The organization
OF poultry clubs. too, Is start in the right
direction. The encouragement of the boys and
girls In the raising OF poultry is important,
but II is more important that they should be
taught correct methods at the start. When
the boys and girls on the farm are started
right there is positive assurance of better
fan and more profitable farms---farms that
will afford such good living that the white
lights of the city will have no attraction.

sonal dictatorship that unfortunately has come
to be in the minds of some the conception OF

WHERE COOPERATION COUNTS.

The big automobile meet which is to be held
here November 29th-3oth under the auspices
of the Richmond Automobile Club should have
the hearty cooperation of Richmond folks in
every walk OF life The importance of the
AFFAIR from the purely selfish standpoint of
advertising the city is sufficient to warrant
the cooperation of the various civic organi-
cations That the aldermen appreciate this
feet Is demonstrated by their action in author
ing Mayor Ainslie TO expend neat sum of
money from the citys advertising fund to aid
In boosting the meet. 1t occurs to us that it
would be good time for the Chamber of
Commerce to take hand and lend this enter
prisng club both its moral and financial sup
port in the undertaking, and The Vtrgindn Is
qtite sure that organization of live wires is
simply waiting for the matter to be presented
ITO it in the proper light.
This meet we assured by the promoters,
the automobile armament will be here and
for two days at least the attention of the auto
mobile world will be focused on the Old
Dominion capital. Louis Disbrow, who has
won most OF the big prizes from two to fifty
miles; Ralph Milford Vanderbilt cup win
ner; Spencer Wishart. the millionaire driver;
Edwin Bergdol winner of the Fairmont Park
race in Philadelphia. and many others. and
Fred !. Wagner. himself Vanderbilt cup
winner and official starter in all the big Ameri-
can events, will be in charge here. The State
fair grounds offer ideal accommodations both
fer the sport and the crowds who will gather
to witness II. There la no reason why the
meet should not be made an annual event, and
II will be made annual event and a big
drawing-card for Richmond II Richmond peo-
pie give 1t cooperation and support
