State Mine Inspector Robert N. Bell
is now assisting the owners of the
Klemmerer coal lands in Teton coun-
ty in organizing capital to develop the
mines and put the Idaho product on
a recurrence of the coal famine of last
winter. He says the quality OF the
Kemmerer product is as good as Is
now imported into the state from any
outside source, and the indications
are that there are millions Of tons
Of this excellent fuel. In recent in
terview Mr.. Bell said:
Coal is the mineral about which
more Idaho people have been set to
thinking and are now seriously con-
cerned with than any other mineral
by reason of the very limited supply
available, condition that narrowly
threatened disastrous consequences
during the past winter.
The bulk of Idaho coal requirements
is impOrted from Wyoming and Utah,
which calls for cash tribute of sew
eral million dollars year from our
peope. The shortage Is not due to the
available supply, but rather TO the
railway transportation facilities, our
main traffic artery, the Oregon Short
Line. being swamped with war-induc-
ed traffic.
This condition of fuel supply EN-
nhasizes the rottenly unbalanced ma
tional conservation policy that has
stood SO persistently in the way OF the

+arv stream. the Salmon river, with

Garfield. Utah, May 81, 1917


Dear Folks;
ON the town Of Garfield, | was pretty

and square The town Is laid out to
the fashion of a wagon wheel. There
are no cows here, the milk comes from
a dairy about two miles from Garneld
there is no livestock at all excepting
that owned by the company. The people
have to pay $15 rent for the houses
and IL any improvements are mace
by them they are required to leave
them as permanent fixtures when tney
leave.
We patroled camp in the rain and
mud but were cheerful because we
were informed that there was to be q
dance and that all soldiers were cordi-
ally invited and free OF charge. we
had a swell time. The town turned oul
lots of good looking girls and a danny
dancing crowd. -.
The Garfield Club has a good size
dance floor. pool and billiard room
and other conveniences such as read-
ing room and showers. On the DAY we
arrived we were all made members

Cities Helping the
Farmers.

Some eastern cities are setting
n good example of organizing
bureaus to send men out to help
farmers in their labor shortage.
Railroads and manufacturers
are also helping the campaign to
save the crops by giving some OF
their men vacations to work on
farms.
Counties and cities establ sh
labor bureaus to enroll men and
women who have had experience
at farrn labor and then direct
them where needed.
A census is taken through the
mails to develop labor shortage
and with this Information labor
RS are placed to advantage.
To avert a farm labor famine
one railroad has placed 25 pei
cent Of it's section hands at the
disposal Of farmers.
Another railroad has granted
Tree transportation to a city bur
eau ot business men organized tC
supply laborers on the land.
All this cooperation will help
meet the situation resulting iron
the European war that shuts of
labor supply from abroad.
But at best this system whicl
shonld be adopted in every stat,
will only partially solve the pro
blrm.

Some More Liquor
Graft.

During the consideration in
the House Of the liquor tax con
tained III the revenue bill the
keen eve ofC Congressman William,
II Stafford of Wisconsin detect
ed a Joker in an amendment pro
posed by prominent Democrat, !,
which, if it had been adopted.
would have relieved hundreds of
dlstillers from the tax. The
amendment provided that liquor
IN the custody OF a court during
proceeding inbankruptcy shou'd
be exempt from the new revenue
tax. MIR. Stafford showed to his
colleagues that the inclusions ~
such language would be simply
putting premium on the dealer
or dist,ller going into bankruptcy
as by so doing he would ayoid
payment Of $1.lO on each gallon
of his stock. Representative
Stafford's argument forced the
modihcatiOn of the amendment
so as to provide that the tax
should be paid by the person to
whom the court delivered the
distilled spirits. and in that form
it was adopted by the House.
