REAL COAL SHORTAGE.
American Falls People Have Been
Burning Slab Wood and Sage Brush
and Retiring Early.

The weather man is to be thanked
for providing a moderate temperature
to accompany our coal famine. Sat
urday last there was a healthy demand
for coal. but no coal to be had. Many
homes were without fuel, and no
hopes for relief before the following
Thursday, when five cars were prom
ised to one dealer. Fortunately there
was a good supply of slab wood with
which homes could be heated by con-
stantly feeding the heating plants
Mr.. and Mrs. S. L. Baird planned to
have company Sunday, and had a sup
ply of fuel sufficient to fill the furnace
but once. To save fuel they shivered
in the kitchen all morning and about
noon put all the fuel to be had in the
furnace to make the home comfortable.
Superintendent Wallis, Professor War
was, the editor of the Press and many
other highbrows have been keeping
warm through the generosity of neigh
bors for nearly a week There are
perhaps fifty families in town who
were out of fuel. The high school
closed two days because OF lack of
fuel. The fortunate combination of a
dog-muzzling ordinance and the
thoughtfulness of those who have coal
in forgetting to lock their coal bins
has made it possible for some to keep
warm who are too proud TO borrow.

INTEREST ON STATE LOANS.

The state land board has passed a
resolution fayoring a reduction OF the
interest rate on state loans from six
10 five per cent. There is room for
question as TO whether this is a JUS,
proposition or not. The school funds
and endOwments funds belong to all
the people OF Idaho. Whatever these
funds earn goes TO the support of the
schools and other state institutions
and whatever they lack of supporting
these institutions must be made up
by taxing the people. The proposition
simply amounts 10 taxing the whole
people one per cent that less than
2000 may have an abnormaily low
rate. when money is earning seven
and eight per cent and the interest is
reduced to six il looks as though the
state had done its share TO give cheap
money 10 borrowers.
There is another objection. Il will
be a long time before the state can
nil out a fraction of the demand
there would be for money at ive per
cent and the bulk OF the borrowers
would have TO go elsewhere and pay
whatever the money market demands.
II would be heralded over the coun-
try that Idaho was lending money at
five per cent and the tendency would
be for capital TO seek a more profit
able market. All borrowers. then. but
the fortunate few, would be taxed TO
make good the decrease from the inter
est earnings on state funds and prob
ably pay higher rate for money than
as though six per cent were main
peting with the state at six per cent,
but would not at fve.-Nampa Leader

CLOSING BASKET BALL GAME.
Strong MeCammOn Team Coming Sat.
urday Night-LocaI Boys Win From
POcatell0.

American Falls high school will
close the basketball season Saturday
night when the fast team from Nc
Cannon high comes for the second
game played against the local boys.
The first game played in McCammon
resulted in a one-sided vistory for
McCammon. Coach Quick has a bet
ter team than he had at that time and
expects the game to be close and hard
fought.
American Falls will play Southwell
al center, Barnard and Watts at the
forward positions, and Franklin,
Pete" Johnson, and George Cronkite
at guard. McCammon will probably
have the same lineup that she had in
the first game when she played Greene
and Roe at forward, Thornley, center,
and Manley, E. Rowe and Watts,
guards.
Should the local team win from Nc
Cannon it will be a big boost for
American Falls high school. Mccain
mon has lost but one game this sea-
son and is soon to play a series for
the championship of Bannock county.
A large crowd is expected at the game
which will be ployed in the Odeon
Saturday night The game will be-
gin at $3.50 and will probably be pre-
ceded by a preliminary between the
town boys.
American Falls %, POcatellO 24.
The game against Pocatello high
school last Saturday night in the
Odeon was won by American Falls 20
to "a. The first half ended with the
tie score of 11-11 but superior play
ing in the last half won for the locals.
The game was one of the toughest
of the season with Franklin of Amer
ican Falls and Mum of POcatello the
chief offenders. Both were bounced
from the game in the last period for
personal fouls.
Rose, Holmes and McDougall did
the best work for Pocatello while
Franklin, Pete" Johnson and Barnard
performed best for the home guard.
The lineup of the teams was as fol-
lows:

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK TEAM.

An American Falls High school
track team is in prospect and as soon
as weather will permit turnouts, ac-
cording to coach Quick. At present
he has basis for judging the possibili-
ties of the men in school but thinks
that several of the boys should de-
velop into good material.
Charley Johnson should be a good
hurdle and long distance man he said
yesterday. ''and probably Franklin can
develop into a good man in the sprints.
For the other events l have no way
OF judging the material available. We
low at present on account OF the
weather will permit"
Coach Quick also hopes to put a
good baseball team in the field but
owing to the shortness of the season
is uncertain OF the possibilities OF de-
veloping a good team to represent
American Falls.

The ladies who are arranging
the program for the Irish
Misical on the evening Of the
10th, have a surprise in store
for those in attendance. A new
musical organization has been
perfected which will make its
first appearance. There are
other features Of the program
the ladies quartette, for in
stance,the male quartette, and
a splendid line of sOloists-
that insure an entertainment
OF unusual merit. The Press
is in possession Of much de-
tailed information regarding
the program that it dare not
make public lest il start a
leak" investigation that would
undoubtedly unjustly saddle
the responsibility on two un-
fortunate newspaper man
whose only defense would be
that they were good guessers.
The Press can give assurance.
however, that the program will
be worth while.
