May Demand Liquor.

Coal and coke companies have
been particularly hard bit by the
new laws governing the importa
ton of liquor into that state, ac-
cording to what was learned here.
For instance, a man who row
wants to buy liquor is allowed to
bring in one quart month but no
more. and he must register and get
permit, and if he is caught with
more, off to the workhouse he goes.
Miners in the main who are for
eigners demand liquor, and when
they cannot get it, they will not
stay in community which denies
them the privilege.
1t IS asserted that this condition
of depression exists practically in
all mining sections of the state.
The exodus in the past, it was real
ly pitiable. So hard pressed have
some of the mining companies been
for men that they are Offering $40
bonus for each man brought into
the district who will remain for at
least three days, and thousands it
is said can find employment here.
West Virginia has been dry for
several years, and the law prohibit
ing the carrying of liquor into the
state excepting only under oath
certain conditions became operative
few weeks ago. Previous to that
the men who demanded liquor
came over into Pennsylvania fol
their supply, which has been vir-
tually shut off under the new reg l.
lations.

The business depression caused
by the enactment of prohibition in
West Virginia is portrayed In the
following from Pittsburg, to Wom-
ems Wear, trade publication:
Quite number of mer erchants are
said to be leaving Fairmount, w.
Va. and elsewhere, and going out
of that state, because of the recent
ly enacted laws not only making
West Virginia dry" but placing
severe penalties upon those who
are caught with liquor in their pos
session. When once so caught,
there is no appeal and a workhouse
sentence of six months is the pen
atty.
One of the merchants who is
leaving Fsirmont, while in Pitts
burg, said that the Fairmont region
is inhabited by large foreign pop
ulation who demand their liquor

At O'Clock the athletic director
roped off the platform end there fol-
lowed five good boxing bouts, picked

COAL NEEDS FOR THE STATE

The fuel administration is now trying
=. to reach an accurate estimate of the
fuel needs of the state for the fuel
year ending April 80, 1918. At present
this is matter of guesswork, but dur
that reasonably accurate figure will
have been secured.
That the present needs of the state
are very great is clearly evidenced by
the facts and figures so far at hand. 1t
utilities commission and from other
sources that during the fuel year end
ing May. 1. 1917, there was shipped in
to Southern Idaho, to points on the
Oregon Short Line the gross amount
from Utah and Wyoming mines of
453,750 tons. Counting this for two
thirds of the state and the total ship
ments into Idaho during this period
were 6S0,625 tons.
During the first five months of the
pesent fuel year there was shipped
points in Idaho along the Oregon Short
Line a gross tonnage of 225,000 tons.
In the entire state it is estimated that
the total shipments in the five months
were S3S,5OO tons.
It is also estimated that the require
ments this year will be greater by 80
per cent than last This would make
the total needs of the state for the
year ending May 1, 1918. SS5,000 tons.
tOf this total need of the state, it is
presumed that about five sixths will
come from the Utah and Wyoming
mines, and the remainder from the
Roslyn mines in Washington and from
the Crows Nest region in Canada.
One of the most important efforts
that is being male by the fuel ad-
ministrator is for the Northwest and
Pacific Coast States conference, is to
secure from the priority board of the
National Defensd Council an order
declaring priority in the supplying and |
movement of cars for coal distribution. |
This order when given is designed to |
take precedence in car supply and ship |
ments over all classes of freight ex-
cept perishable goods, government war
material shipments and absolute nee
essities.
Word has been received from Federal
Administrator Garfield that the matter
is being worked out as rapidly as pos
sible, and that cars have already been
sent from eastern points TO the Utah
and Wyoming mines to be used ex-
for coal shipments to the
states in this conference.

WAR FACTS AT FIRST HANu

Sergeant Fred Wells, known as Doc

of warfare.
There is something on the face Of
Sergeant Wells found only on the faces
of men who have seen things which
they cannot forget uncomfortable.

this statement, and yet we have sus-
picion that even if the Y. NJ. C. AS
with te army did nothing more than
provide good entertainment and shows
for the men, and scheduled wholesome
amateur boxing bouts and other ath-
letic stunts, it would still have an ex-
cellent excuse for existing.
Only a man who has been confined
to an army post realizes the tremen-
1ous need for wholesome pastimes
