BUY COAL THROUGH
LOCAL DEALERS
Carson City, New.
December lst, 1917
To All Local Fuel Committees

Gentlemen:
Numerous complaints have
been made by regular retail deal
ers that individuals are ordering
direct from the coal mines and
agencies or are clubbing together
for the purpose of so ordering.
This practice has caused consider
able confusion among coal mines
and agencies and with the District
Car Service Bureau, all of whom
are trying to fill and deliver ord
ers and at the same time give each
section its fair share. 1t also
works hardship on the dealers
and local committees. who in turn
are endeavoring to obtain and
distribute coal as rapidly as pos
sible and in a manner deemed to
be the most advantageous to the
entire community.
To overcome this condition, the
matter was placed before the Dist
rict Car Service Bureau at Salt
Lake City. 1t was then taken up
at a conference between the State
Fuel Administrators of Idaho and
Utah and the producers of Wyom
ing and Utah. At this meeting
it was agreed that the retailers
should be protected and that much
confusion now caused by the
above mentioned ordering by in
dividuals could be avoided. They
therefore agreed that no producer
should knowingly ship coal to any
Individual or group of individuals
during the existing shortage. n
We suggest that you publish
a statement through your local
papers. asking people to cooperate
with the Administration by order
ing coal through their local COM
mittees and dealers, for the reas-
on that owing to the existing fuel
shortage it would be unfair for
individuals to secure their full
winters supply of coal while other
citizens in the community are get
ting their supply in small quantit-
les through distribvtion made by
the dealers and local committees.
Very truly yours.

Nevada

PROTESTS LOUDLY
Mason, Nevada

Dear Editor
1t is reported on good authority
that Mason has been made head
quarters by gang of crooks
Gambling is done openly, slot
machines are run contrary to law
and in defiance of the officers and
crime has been rampant for
months. This is not according to
the wishes of the business men OF
Mason or the people that have
built their homes there and made
an effort to improve up the com
munity. The cleaning up OF sur
rounding states has made Nevada
the dumping ground for lot OF
undesirables and there is not prop
er cooperation between the offic'
ers to rid us of the bum element
when it blows in. Something will
have to be done. 1t is not fair tc
property owners and tax payers
to permit the good name OF com
munity to be lost by such means
The attention of the Sheriff's Of
fee and the County Commission
ers is respectfully called to the
state OF affairs, and if they do not
get busy there ought to be q
meeting of McKinnon's reception
committee. A Subscriber,

thing is tip-top and | appreciate
your kindness and thoughtfulness
especially more SO as am a
Marine and not a soldier, more
than you think. You see | was
under the impression that you
gave the comfort kits only to the
boys in the army.

and these little acts OF kindness
make a fellow feel that he isn't yet
forgotten by the folks at home
We also do little to help the
good cause along. For instance
there was over $1,000 raised by the
