COAL SHORT AGE
BECOMES ACUTE
LETTER FROM RAILROAD COM
MISSION REVEALS SERIOUS
NESS OF SITUATION

A letter received today from j. +.
Shaughnessy Of the Nevada Rail-
road commission relative to the coal
shortage in this state says that,
after calling on the Interstate
Commerce commission for assistance
IA careful check has been made Of
the coal shortage at all Nevada
points and the situation Is revealed
as an alarming one.
The commission has sent the fol-
lowing supplemental telegram TO
the Interstate Commerce commis-
sion showing the result of the
checking of cars:
&c. G.. McCord, Interstate
Commerce Commission, Washing
ton. d. c. Further regarding
Nevada fuel famine. Just COM
pleted check of state which will
mail to you showing we are short
over $50 cars commercial coal,
95 per cent of which is from
Utah fields. Many points en-
tirely out of coal and situation
serious. Southern Pacific COM
pany reports 40 empty Goa and
90 coke cars at Ogden for deliv-
cry to Denver & Rio Grande.
Suggent you send representative
to Utah to investigate and To-
cate responsibility for shortage.
Also to relieve immediate situa-
tion recommend you urge CO.
operation of connecting carriers
by loaning Rio Grande such mo-
tive power and crews as may be
necessary"
The commissioners letter, in
commenting on the situation, states
that in view of he hardship and
suffering that further severe storms
would impose on the state, the COM
mission recommends that fuel deal
ers supplement their orders for coal
by forthwith placing orders for
wood and to thereafter keep the
commission advised of the place
and number of cars ordered SO that
preferred attention may be g
to the furnishing of cars for the
shipments and to their movement to
the place Of delivery.
Although Goldfield has not suf-
fered a serious coal or wood short
age thus far this winter, local deal
ers report that for some time past
they have been receiving only
enough Goa to last them from day
tc day and at nc time dur
ing the winter has there Deen
enough in the town to last for an
appreciate length of time had ship
ments stopped.
Cremer and Erikson report that
they have on hand at the present
tine tu. one car of coal, containing
/ 0 tC2s On Saturday they expect
ec Two cars from Rock Springs,
Wyoming, but the shipment has not
yet reached here. They have Is cars
ing over the Rio Grande, where the
seat of trouble seems to be, ac-
cording to George Cremer, who says
that as soon as Goa ars get of
that road and onto the Southern
Pacific, they come through in good
time. He states hal information
received by him relative to the
shortage is to the effect that the
mines are loading coal Is fast as
they can get cars, which, after load
ing, the Rio Grande is unable to
move.
Alan's coal yard now has on
hand two cars, each containing
about 35 tons. Alan says that he
has more on the road, but that
he is never sure of delivery until
the ears are in his yard.

He Prevents Armies Being

London, July 25.-Premier Kerensky

elements in the army or the eave-in in
the Russian line in the Tanopol- -stanis
lau sector may be SO enlarged by the
enemy. as to cut off Russia g forces to
the south in the Carpathians.
Petrograd dispatches today gave a
ray of hope that Kerensky would yet
succeed in reforming the demoralized
regiments. One encouraging factor was
the evident loyalty of Russians on the
Carpathian, Rumanian and Wilma
Dvinsk battle line
Germany evidently planned her in.
trigue TO center around Tarnopol, hop
ing for complete breakdown there and
penetration of the Russian lines for
thanking movements in both directions.
Best front advices today indicated
the Russian armies retreating along a
front of nearly 140 miles from the up
per Sereth river to the wooded Car
pathians-in some places in utter rout,
in others by orderly retreat.
Evacuation of Stanfsfag by the Rus

The GadiOIlls Adopted
As Salem City Flower
(The Modern Glaaiolus Grower)

(The Modern Gladiolus Grower)
We are informed that Salem, Ore,
has adopted the Gladiolus as the Off
eial city flower. Ii is reported that the
Dahlia and Geranium were close COM
petitors, but the Gladiolus won over
every other flower Here is a proof that
the Gladiolus is gaining in popularity,
From an almost unknown position
few years ago, it has during the past
three or four years stepped into the
public eye and popular approval to an
extent which we would hardly believe
possible. Let the good work 60 on. The
Gladiolus deserves it. There are still
better things in store for this partieu
lar flower, and this particular flower
has better things in store for its ad
mirers. The improved varieties which
have been introduced during the past
few years are great revelation to
those who have known the Gladiolus
for many years Those who were not
before acquainted with the Gladiolus
and whose pleasure il has been to first
become acquainted with the modern
varieties cannot but feel that it com
pares most favorably with any other
flower and in almost any respect.

Washington, July 25.-The tangled
web Of war work, aggravated by quar-
rels and delays in different boards and

ports of American army officers from
France and the semi-official statement
that with present ships the United
States cannot send more than six hun
dred thousand Sammies to the ront
within year.
All departments were at work pre-
pairing estimates for the next fiscal
year. Senator Smoot announced in the
senate that America Is war bill for the
first year would amount to $17 200, 0,000,-
600, including another $4,000, 900, 900
to the allies.
That all of these funds may be prop
erly spent, AN industrial purchasing
board will be named by the president
to take over responsibilities now vest.
ed in large groups of committees in
the Council of National Defense. The
board will consist of five or six mem
bers.
The food control bill, as amended by
the senate was agreed to by the house
and sent to conference after a short
fight.
