COAL REGULATED
FIXED BY WILSON
First Steps Toward Regulating Coal
Industry Has Been Taken.

Washington Bituminous coal
prices were fixed by President Will
son Monday for every mine in the
United States. The next step in
coal control, a White House announ-
cement said, will be to fix the prices
to be charged by middlemen and
retailers.
Prices were set on cost of produc-
ton estimates furnished by the fed
eral trade commission after months
of exhaustive investigation. The
comEanS is divided into 20 districts
and every producer in a district will
market his output at the same price.
The President is expected to APP
point soon coal administrator, who
will be given entire control of the
coal industry Rumor tonight named
President H. A. Garfield of Williams
College as the man. Mr.. Garfield now
heads a committee appointed by the
president to fix government price
for wheat. The wheat committee will
probably be dissolved Sept, /.
The prices announced for run of
mine coal in the large producing
dist, cts average slightly more than
$500 In a few districts they are
ben W that figure and in western
ter. It'.ry they arc CHER Wash ngto !
state IS highest With $3.25.

have as their objects fair and couito
able control Of the distribution If the
supply and Of the prices not only at
the mines, but also in the hands Of
the middlemen and the retailers.
"The prices Professionally fixed
here are fixed by me under the pro-
vision Of the recent act of Congress
regarding administering the food sup
ply of the country, which also con-
ferred upon the executive control of
the fuel supply. They are based
upon the actual cost of production
and are deemed to be not only fair
and jpst, but liberal as well, Under
them the industry should nowhere

The price fixed range from 20 to
35 per cent under the maximum price
of $500 fixed by government off

WHISKY SEIZED
IRON BOOTLEGGERS

Sheriff B. E.. White and four Of
his deputies we're called to the as.
sistance Of United States Marshal
Irrelevant Saturday to raid a party
of bootleggers at Waits Landing on
the Mississippi river. Upon receiy-
ing the message Sheriff White and
deputies departed and joined the
Shelby county posse of officers near
Wilmington. From there they pro-
ceeded to their destination and found
that the whisky boat had been UNI
loaded and placed on the shore in the
hands Of one of the b0otleggers, who
was waiting for the arrival of auto
mobiles to transfer the liquor to Mem
phis, where it would have been sold
The officers seized the booze and
arrested four men, who were in
charge of the consignment. The
liquor was packed in 40 cases contain
ing 1920 half pints. The men were
taken to Memphis and lodged in the
county Jail. They were later brought
to Covington and turned over to
Sheriff White for safe keeping. The
seized liquor has been stored away
in the United States Customhouse in
Memphis.
3 Since the raid additional arrests
were made in Memphis in connection
with the event Saturday night. They
were also brought to Covington and
placed in the county Jail.

SECOND ARMY DRAFT
JANUARY FIRST, 1918.
Tentative Date For Calling Out $780,
900 More Soldiers.

January first has been tentatively
set for the second draft; the num-
Der of men to be called will be ap-
proximately 100000.
This, learned in the War Depart
ment circles Monday, is answer to the
question What will President Wilson
reply to the pope's peace proposals?
With the allies striking on every
front, the United States-through the
officials charged with carrying on the
war--let drop sufficient hints Mon
day of preparations for the future
to make it plain that there is little
hope of peace in administration cir
cles at this time.
Indications were that President
Wilson, through the State Debart-
ment, has been in touch with the en-
tente governments and that the basis
on which answer to the pope will be
made has been decided upon. It at
least has been drafted in broad OUT
line and only details remain to be
discussed.

MAKING THE DESERTS
MORE ACCESSIBLE
United States Geological Survey to
Mark and Develop Watering Places

United States Geological Survey to
Mark and Develop Watering Places
TO make the desert regions Of the
western part of the United States
more accessible by locating their wide
" separated watering places and
to give directions and distances to
the watering places is an interesting
and practical project recently under
taken by the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, Department of the In
terror. The project also involves the
work of making accurate maps show
ing the location Of the watering
places, Of preparing guides describ-
ing them and giving the distance
between them, of selecting well sites,
and of developing waterin" places
ESQ far as money available will per-
mit) in localities where water is
most needed and where the geologic
investigations indicate that under
ground supplies can be obtained. 1t
Is expected that this work will help
to expidite the discovery and de-
veIopment Of the rich mineral depos-
its in parts of these regions. 1t
will, of course, also be valuable in
other respects.
In recent years the water supply
biologists Of the Geological Survey
have developed trustwarthy meth
ODDS of locating ground water in
arid regions from surface indica-
tions and Of estimating the depth to
water and the approximate annual
yield Of the underground reservoirs.
This method will be applied and fur
Their developed in connection with the
survey Of desert watering places.
A number of survey parties are
now being organized in Washington
and will in few weeks be at work
in the most arid parts Of Arizona,
California and Nevada. Each party
will consist Of a geologist and one
or more ASSISTANTS and will be pro-
vided with an automobile and camp
ing outfit,
