If we are to judge from the report
of the fuel administrator for Idaho,
this state is not likely to suffer to
any great extent from a coal famine
the coming winter. Members of the
public utilities commission, says the
Capital News, has been informed that
an agreement has been reached be-
tween the railroads and the mine OPP
orators, wherein a right of way is to
be given Idaho coal
Federal Fuel Administrator Frank
X. Gooding, who is also a member OF
the state council of defense in charge
of the coal situation, so informed A
L. Freehdfer, a member of the pub
lie utilities commission Wednesday,
when they met, following Admins
traitor Gooding's return from Salt
Lake. where for the past week he
has been investigating the coal stu.
alton.
The result of this conference wal
that an agreement was reached by
the terms of which the Union Pacific
and the Oregon Short Line Railroad
will give coal needed in this state
right-of-way over their respective
lines at any time that Administrator
Gooding makes the call.
The arrangement. II is believed
will guard against any possible con
shortage I'm Idaho during the com
ing winter 1t also means that train
loads OF coal will be allowed with
out interruption en- route by othel
trains on traffic over the system.
The conference was held with Rob
ert s. Lovett. of the Union Pacific
system and member of the wa
board. together with coal mine oper
ators and others interested in tn
coal situation. Administrator Good
ing made the request that the right
'of-way be given to Idaho coal whel
the occasion demanded and assur
ances were given him that the right
of-way order would stand.

HIGHWAY ELECTION
Three Highway Commissioners to Be
Elected in the jerome District

AS Will be seen by Official notice
In another column an election has
been called for Tuesday November
9Th, for the purpose of electing three
highway commissioners for the Je-
rome Highway District, to succeed
the present incumbents. whose terms
expire
Probably this is one OF the most
important local elections ever held
here, and II Is the first time that the
citizens OF the district have had the
opportunity to have a voice in the
selection OF these commissioners, as
the present incumbents are holding
Offices by appointment by the govern
or The duties of the highway com
missioners are many. and the respon-
sibilities resting upon them are
great. and it is therefore quite i'm
portant that the people throughout
the district should take some inter
est in this election and not allow the
same to be controlled by few who
might have personal interests in the
selection OF some particular repre-
sentative. This is matter that does
not AFFECT any particular locality, but
men should be selected who have no
interests in any certain district, but
who are broaded minded enough to
see that all portions of the district
are looked after and the work pro-
perly an d equitably distributed
throughout the different localities
and at the same time have the execu-
tive ability to conduct the affairs OF
the district in an economical man
ner
Should the people of the district
show the same apathy in this elec
tions. the results might prove yer,
disastrous to the district. The Times
is not boosting for any particular
candidate, but We are very anxious
tax payers OF the district at the polls
as we believe in this manner efficien
commissioners may be elected.
II might possibly be wise plaI
to call a general meeting to tall
over and discuss the questions in
volved in this election and possibl,
to suggest names of candidates L
be voted for. However. should thi
not be advisable, we trust that tn
tax payers of the district will TAX,
interest enough in the election t,
come out and vote.
The commissioners selected at thi
election will hold office for four years
and during that period should il b
found practical to vote bonds for tn
impro, ement of the highways. ther
will be a large amount of money 4
be handled by the commissioners. an
for this reason alone. il is not saf
that the people OF the district allo,
the election to. go practically by de
fault Think IL over and we ar
sure you will see the Importance o
this election and be at the polls I
express your choice for commission
ers. Remember the election occur
on Tuesday. November 9Th.
