The public utilities commission will
probably proceed to make Il sweeping
investigation into the causes for the
coal shortage in southern Idaho. John
w. Graham, member of the commits
sion, who has charge of the coal sit
uatio-., made this announcement. The
purpose of the investigation will be to
determine the cause for the shortage
and to place the blame, if possible
AlreadJ Il complaint, in formal FORM
has been filed with the commission
alleging discrimination in the handling
of coal by the carrier. This complaint
comes frol Rupert 1t recites that the
coal shortage is acute at Rupert and
there is no immediate relief in sight
Rupert is without coal or any other
fuel. G; rs OF coal are reported pass
ing through that town enroute to Twin
Falls, but none is left at Rupert. The
consumers there want to know the
reason for this. They believe that Ru-
pert is being Disseminated against in
the movement of coal; that other sec
lions of the state are being favored
and that their orders for fuel are not
receivr the attention that they
should.
SAY RAILROADS NOT TO BLAME
IT, oregon Short Line and other
carriers claim that the mines have not
a sufficient number of miners to keep
up with demands for coal and the
fault is not with the carriers. The
Oregon Short Line railroad alone has a
daily consumption Of 300 t. rs of coal
over its system. The daily output of
the Kemmcrer mines is but 1000 tons.
Tn railroads are said to be feeling the
effects of the shortage.
What is feared more than any one
thing else is that a storm or series of
storms may block traffic over the rail-
roads and il that event, it is said, there
will be sol e real suffering for many
towns nov cut down to 4 short supply
will run out Of fuel entirely. The in
vestigation the commission proposes
to start will determine where the
blame really is.

OFFICERS ARRIVE;
INSPECTION MADE
Decided That No Favoritism
Will be Shown and All Of
ficers and Men Will be
CHARTERED in Tents at
Camp.

The Second Idaho regiment will have
to camp at the Boise barracks during
the period of rehabilitation. That
was the decision reached by Major
Amos A. Martin, u. S. A., of Helena,
mastering officer for the state of Mon
tana, ordered to Boise by the western
division, war department, to supervise
the mastering out of the regiment.
Following a thorough investigation of
the barracks this morning Major Mar
tin said that but 1928 officers and men
could be accommodated in the build
ings, which would leave 300 or 400 men
without quarters and rather than house
part of the regiment and place others
in tents. he had concluded not to use
the post buildings but to prepare the
grounds used for mobilization pur-
poses for the rehabilitation. The
regiment will have no greater dis
comforts at the barracks than it has
had the past five months at Nogales.
CONFERENCE WITH GOVERNOR.
Major Martin arrived in Boise this
morning from Helena. He will be fol-
lowed by John Shealy and George
Franchel of the medical department, u.
S. A. An inspection of the barracks
was Immediately made by Major Mar
tin.
There is not sufficient room in the
post buildings to accommodate all Of
the officers and men," said Major
Martin following his inspection.
Neither are there other accommoda-
lions as for the mess, etc. and it would
disorganize the work of rehabilitation
by budding the men into the buildings

emphatic assertion made by the

15-The following story Of the
Twenty-frst flying column Of the

Andrew Kalpaschnikoff, former sec
rotary of the Russian embassy at
Washington. Kalpaschnikotf offered
his service to his country at the out

to service with the Red Cross. He
became identified with the Twenty

placed in command Of that body.
The reckless daring Of the First
Siberian corps" said Kalpaschnikoff,
is we'll known throughout Russia.
The flying column attached to such a
fighting organization has no easy
task. In the first days Of the war
several columns, attracted by the
brilliant achievements of that corps
in the defense of Warsaw, strove for
the honor of working with 1t, and
especially with the famous First d.
vison; but they found the work too
hard. or the conditions too danger
