COLORADO'S ADVANCE

The drop in crime in Cobra do during the past year has been conspicuous. Adispatch from Canyon City to the Den yer Post of Oct. 25, 1916, says:
 ''So marked has been the eff feet of prohibition upon crime in Colorado that by the first of the year, or soon thereafter, one whole large wing of the State Penitentiary will be clos ed for lack of prisoners"
 It adds that the culprits who do get sent here now are most ly committed for shorter terms and for milder offences than in the past.
 The Rocky Mountain News of Denver says in it's issue of Oct. 14, 1916: "Denver's jails contain 50 per cent. fewer pris- oners since saloons closed. Men go home to their families" It goes on to print an interview with Chief of Police Armstrong who says that there have been 2,000 less arrests in Denver this year than last. Neverthe- less, the opponents of equal rights will keep right on quot ing a statement about the num- Der of arrests written by Den yer clergyman long ago when conditions were quite different.
 In the first six months of the present year. 1864 mortgages were cleared off in Denver alone. -Woman's Journal.

We'll Pleased With Williams

Dr. J. c. Garvin of Plainville Kansas, was in Williams the first of the week as guest of F. M. Gold. Dr. Garvin has been touring the West and was on his way home from a trip down the coast states beginning at Seattle, and ending at Los An geles. Of course, the greatest canyon on earth drew him over the Santa Fe and old acquaint- anceship caused him to stop ov- CT in Williams.
 MT. Gold, assisted by Boney Smith, showed Dr. Garvin the country around Williams and took him thru the largest saw mill in Arizona. He was de- lighted with the country and Town and amazed at the immensity of the Saginaw lum- Der interests.
 Dr. Garvin is a veterinarian of note in his own land and for years has enjoyed an extensive practice. He is a good judge of horsefesh and thot very we'll I
 saw on the ranches near Will Hams. He expressed the belief that shipments of horses from Williams to his home country would make our horse owners good money. It is quite possi- ble that a shipment will be tried by some of our horsemen.

THE COST OF COAL

The cost of living still goes up. In the case of some things the rise is inevitable. In others it is pure robbery.
 One thing that everybody must have is coal. The anthra- cite coal companies have been systematically gouging the public for years. Between Jan. 1, 1900, and the beginning of the present year, the coal com panies raised the wages of the miners on three separate occa- sions. Each time they made the increase of pay to the min CTS pretext for squeezing out of the public a much larger sum than the increased amount they were paying to the men.
 Thus in 1900 they advanced the miners wages 15.6 cents ton for digging the coal, and at the same time advanced the price of coal to the consumer 23.2 cents. After the great an- thracite coal strike of 1902, they raised the miners wages only 9 cents a ton, but raised the price of coal to the consum- CT almost 50 cents. In 1912 they raised the miners wages only 9 cents a ton, but raised the price of coal to the public 25 cents a ton. All told, in the sixteen years preceding Jan. 1, 1916, they raised the miners wages about 37 cents a ton and raised the price of coal to the public 98 cents a ton. For ev- cry dollar paid to the miners in higher wages, the coal barons have exacted two dollars more for themselves from the coal using public.
 This year the old perform ance has been repeated for the fourth time.
 In New Zealand, when the coal companies tried this game, the government placed upon the market coal from it's own mines, at fair price, and the inflated prices at once went down. They have been kept down by the same means. The government has made no effort to push the sale of it's own coal, or to get a monopoly of the market; but the fact that gov ernment coal could always be had has kept the private coal companies from getting a mo- nopoly of the market, and has therefore made it impossible
