LOCATE CAUSE OF !
COAL SHORTAGE;
CONFERENCE HELD
Claimed Oregon Short Line
Cars Being Held UP on D.
& r. G.-Commissioners
at Salt Lake.

The movement of Oregon Short Line
cars from the Utah mines over the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad into
Idaho, will, it is claimed, do more to
relieve the coal shortage situation in
this state than any one thing else. To
bring about this movement and to ar
range, If possible, to prevent diverting
of these cars over other lines and into
other states, Axel p. Ramstedt and
John w. Graham, members of the pub
lie utilities commission, have gone to
Salt Lake where today they are hold
ing conference with the traffic off
Gals of both roads.
The Pocatello hearing into the coal
shortage, as conducted by the com
mission, closed last night n. Neg,
stenographer and clerk with the COM
mission, returned this morning from
Pocatello with the evidence taken at
the hearing and he is now transcribing
this. The two commissioners went on
to Salt Lake, they will be back Thurs
day.
POCATElLO HEARING.
At the Pocatello hearing the cities
and towns OF Pocatello, HagermaE,
Salmon, Blackfoot, Oakley, American
Falls, Minidoka and Rupert, all Of
which are experiencing coal short
age, were represented. The coal deal
ers complained they could not get coal
although they had tried everything TO
secure a supply the carriers said there
was car shortage and the mines re-
presented they were short of miners
and could not mine the coal fast
enough.
One very significant fact came out
at the hearing and that was the deal
ers in practically every instance had
failed, during the summer months. TO
lay in a supply of coal in anticipation
of winter shortage. This is pointed to
as one of the reasons why there is a
coal famine in some of the cities aud
towns in southern and eastern Idaho.
RAILROAD RUNNING SHORT.
The oregon Short Line submitted
testimony to show that it had sent 245
of its cars to the Utah mines over the
Denver & Rio Grande and of that
number but ~ had returned to Idaho
loaded. The Short Line is prepared to
Utah mines where they can be loaded
and if diverted back into Idaho VIII
give relief to the shortage.
On Sept. L. 1912, the testimony
shows, the Oregon Short Line had
IS, 900 tons of coal stored at various
points along it's system in anticipation
of coal shortage and on Dec. prac-
tieally all Of the storage coal was gone
The daily consumption of coal for the
Short Line system is 34O0 tons and it
is said that it has no more than a "a
hour supply on hand at the present
time. The eatire system is now de-
pending on the mine output.

systems in the course of day organ
isms which float in the air or may be

If we are in sturdy health they are

boracic acid has been dissolved is very
effective.

that within the house sticky paper and

DIR. Flexner, after exhaustive
studies following the epidemic of in
fantile paralysis in this country, in
France and in Germany in 1907, sue
ceeded in identifying the virus as that
OF nextremely minute micro-organ-
ism. The bacillus is so small that
there is no way of giving measure
of its littleness. 1t passes readily
through the pores of the densest and
finest proclaim filters. DR.. Flexner
says it is extremely doubtful whether
the virus has actually been seen, but
demonstrations have proven it's ex-
istence.
Infantile paralysis was first de-
scribed more than so years ago and
the idea of contagion appeared in the
?, literature of more than quarter of a
century ago. 1t is not, according to
DR.. Joseph Collins, former president
of the American Neurological associa-
ton, scourge that is peculiar to the
city and the town. The epidemics have
occurred both in the crowded tene-
ments and the rural districts. Dr.
Collins, in an article entitled "How to
Combat Paralysis Epidemic" in the
New York Sun, says one of the worst
outbreaks of the disease was in the
sparsely settled region of Norway in
1887, and it has also appeared in such
populous Scandinavian cities as Stock
holm. The disease was reported at
! Rutland, VT, in 1894; it caused many
deaths in Wisconsin in 1904, and eight
years later created havoc in Nebraska.
Ursanitary Conditions Dangerous.
DR.. Collins says the bacillus of in
fantile paralysis develops under I'M
sanitary conditions, but is not a re-
spector of classes or cleanliness in at
lacking humanity. Wherever there is
purifying organic matter there is Il
fertile ground for its cultivation. The
unkept back yard, the neglected
vacant lot and the dark cellar in which
decaying matter has accumulated be-
come breeding places for this malig-
nant organism. The germ flourishes
most in damp, warm weather, al
though it is so hardy that neither cold
nor dryness affects it appreciably.
Once the germs are carried about in
the dust by the air currents, or when
the substance in which they have ma
tured is borne by the feet of mankind,
or conveyed by insects, there is scarce
ly any limit to the harm then can do
Persons may carry the germs on their
clothing. The dog that rolls on his
back on Vacant lot, the cat that
prowls in the cellar and the horse that |
stands in the gutter may spread the
scourge.
DR.. Collins, in his article in the Sun,
offers some suggestions for placing
safeguards about children. He says:

lnfantile Paralysis and
Some Precautions Against 1t

| The most disturbing outstanding
feature of the outbreak of infantile
paralysis in New York is that those
combating it are, to an extent, fight
ing in the dark, says the New York
! Times. The health authorities know
the disease is spread in certain ways,
but they do not know whether these
are the only or the chief ways, and
they do not know how many other me-
dia of transmission exist. Nor do they
know the danger period for the known
media. In epidemics Of most other
diseases the health authorities know
exactly what to do. But fighting in
fantile paralysis consists largely in
doing everything that seems effective
in the hope that some of the measures
taken will be effective.
Infantile paralysis is the result of
an attack by an organism or minute
cord, into which it makes it way, ac-
has devoted a number of years to the
becomes filled with blood and the SEN
sorry and the motor cells, as they are
called, become disorganized and brok-
en-. A healthy baby may be turned in
to cripple overnight by the disease.
Doctor Flexner says that, according to
all records, infantile paralysis seems
TO pick the strong and well children
in preference to the weak. Vigorous
health seems to be no protection
against the disease" The infectious
agent enters the body chiefly, if not
exclusively, through the mucuous
membranes Of the nose and throat. 1t
may, and not infrequently does, affect
adults and no age is absolutely free of
danger of infection.
Spread by kissing.
DR.. Flexner says the virus of infan-
tile paralysis exists in the secretions
of the nose and throat and in the intes-
tines. 1t may be spread by kissing,
coughing and sneezing, which carry
the secretions of the nose and throat
from one person who may be infected
to other persons. In wiping away the
nasal and mouth secretions from in
fected young children or infants, the
fingers of mothers or nurses readily
become contaminated and may carry
the micro organism directly from the
sick to the healthy. This danger also
EXISTS in connection with vendors of
food which eaten uncooked. Dis
semination can be made by means of
house flies. The treatment of infan-
tile paralysis involves, according to
Dr. Flexner, the isolation of the
acutely i'll, the proper care and de-
struction of contaminated discharges,
the supervision of persons in contact
with the i'll and of all vendors of food,
the exclusion of all flies and a gen
eral sanitary control of the personnel
and habitations of families in which
the disease exists. Often the outset of
the disease is insidious. Parents pay

100000. Our foresight was poor, anc
we must pay for the lack.
The only worse blunder that Pine
Bluff could commit would be to longer
postpone remedy of the situation
Even if protection from overflow two
or three times a year, and good drain
age of the city costs $4,000, the ex-
penditure will not only be justified
but the money put into the project will
prove about the best investment Pine
Bluff has ever made--it will be the
best of its kind Health and life can
not be measured in dollars and cents,
and if the lake-bed is protected from
inundation, and well-drained the i'm
provement in health conditions will
save thousands of dollars annually in
doctors and medicine bills.
Another result will be to increase
property values, in and out of the city,
and especially in the lake-bed sec
ton.
There should be no further DELAY
toward active steps to remedy the
situation, and remove menace to
health and life.

PROBABLE FORD WILL
SUPPORT WILSON,

Though Henry Ford; the Detroit
motor car manufacturer may have the
nomination for the presidency by the
Prohibition party if he wants it, and
though approximately 100000 Re-
publicans cast their ballots for him in
the presidential preference primaries,
it is considered probable that he will
support President Wilson for re-elec-
ton.
A dispatch from Detroit to the New
York Herald on Monday, the day the
President Wilson visited the Michigan
manufacturing center, says:
"Some of the close friends of Henry
Ford predicted with confidence today
that he would support Mr.. Wilson for
reelection if the president succeeds in
keeping the country out of war. Mr..
Ford was not specific, although when
a Herald reporter made inquiry he
declined to deny the report.
az have nothing to say about the
report Mr.. Ford said, excepting
this:-The president has kept this
country out of war;
"Mr Ford was asked if he would
support the president if he continued
to keep the country out of war. He
laughed.
"'Well, he has kept us out of war.
l may have something to say later he
said.
"When Theodore Roosevelt came to
Detroit six weeks ago Mr.. Ford took
no part in the ceremonies. Today he
met President Wilson at the train,
rode through the streets with him
everywhere he went, heard his three
speeches and was the last to say good
by to him at the station.
CHOSE who are accompanying the
president on his trip did not conceal
their pleasure at the report that Mr..
Ford would be on the Democratic side
in the campaign. For man like Mr..
Ford, who received approximately one
million votes in the Republican presi-
dental primaries, to line up for a
Democratic candidates would be, in
their opinion, signal victory for the
president"
John M. Parker, cambridge Colby
and other Progressives of principle APP
pear determined to hold the Progress
sive party together, despite desertion
by the leader of the herd. With Pro-
gressive ticket in the field, and Mr..
Ford lending his support to the Demo-
cratic nominees, the chances of sue
cess for the G. O. P. job-hunters are
slim, indeed. And this is fortunate
for the country.
