NEGROES MARCHED INTO
OCEAN.

William L Stidger in The Outlook.
AS the negro stevedores marched to
work, winter or summer, rain or
shine. night or day, they were always
whistlipg or singing as they marched
to the wonderment OF French and
English alike. Their spirits never
seemed to be dampened. They al
ways marched to music OF their own
making. There was that baseball
game when an entire company of ne
groes, watching their team play a
white team, at the climax of the game,
when one negro boy had knocked a
home run, ran around the bases with
him, more than two hundred laugh
ing, shouting, grinning, singing, YELL
ing negroes, helping to bring in the
score that won the game. i,
Then there was that Sunday morns
ing when. several white captains de-
cfded that their negro boys should
have a bath. They took their boys
down to an ocean bench. It was BIT
chilly. The negroes stripped at or
der. but they didn't like the idea of
going into that cold ocean water. One
| captain solved the difficulty. He took
his own clothes Off. He got In front
OF his men. He lined them up in
formation. Then he said: Nov,
boys, we're going to play that ocean
is full of Germans. You steNedores
are always complaining abou not
getting up front, and tell me what
you'd do to the Germans liz you once
got up front. Now I'm going to see
how much nerve you've got When
say Forward! Marchi' 1T is a mill
tary order I'm going to lead you into
iSthat water. We are going in mills
tary formation.
Forward! Mapch!D
And into the surf that company OF
black soldiers marched. into that cold
ocean water, dreading 1T with all Their
souls, but soldiers to the core, with
out a quaver, eyes TO the front, heads
up, chests out. unflinchingly up "a
their knees, up to their waists, UP
to their chins, when the captain
shouted, aAs you were" and such q
hilarious, shouting, laughing. splash
ling, jumping, yelling, fun filled hour
as followed the world never saw. This
cleaning of white teeth. the flashing
OF ebony limbs through green water
and under sparkling sunlight that
Sunday morning, was full OF a fine
type Of fun and laughter that made
the world better place to live In
and certainly a cleaner place.

10 THE HIGH RATE WARRANTED

In these days when 50 many de-
mands are made upon great corpora.
tions for investigation OF their af-
fairs to ascertain the justice OF the
costs upon which rates have beer
fixed, why would 1t not be a good
idea for the greatest corporation in
the country-the general government
Ito be investigated so that the coun-
try can determine, before being ask
ed to return the Democratic party to
power, whether the costs that have
caused the present high taxation were
justified?
II there is any meaning to the late
election that meaning points, among
other things. to an audit Of public
finances, and the participation, OF the
majority party in the processes OF a
return to a peace basis.
It wilG be- no part of the duty Of the
Republican majority in the next con-
gress to engage in a merely partisan
investigation of the present national
administration, but 1t IS the duty Of
the next congress to bring to the light
Of day any waste or useless expendi-
lures causing higher rates Of taxa
tion, and by remedial legislation ef-
feet economies tending TO lessen the
public burden.
There has been a serious lack OF
honest publicity in connection with
the transaction Of public business In
recent months, but there must be no
lack of it from now on, and II the
Republican majority in congress fails
to go to the bottom in these matters.
1t will be properly charged with com
plicity in the wild extravaganza"

the senate, talks about.

After more than a. year Of delay
since the charges were filed, the
senate committee on privileges and
elections has, by a majority vote, de-
cided to drop proceedings looking to
the expulsion of Senator Robert NJ.

Wisconsin senator grew out Of the
speech he made at the big Townley
meeting at ST Paul a year ago last
September.

IDAHO COAL

Gooding. March rs, 1851 know
now that Idaho has real coal mine -
was the statement of State Fuel Adj
ministrator f. r. Cooling, on his re-
cent return from Teton County, where
he had made a careful inspection of the
properties of the Teton Valley Coal
Company. Continuing, Mr.. Gooding
said: 1T would be difficult to overes-
innate the value of such property to the
people of this state. During the past
years we have been dependent for our
principal fuel supply upon the coal
districts of Wyoming, Utah. Montana
British Columbia and Washington
Year after year we have faced the win
ter with fear of fuel famine, which
too often has materialized. 1t has
been the greatest problem the people
of our towns and many Of the country
districts have had to face and solve /
am convinced that for a large part
of the state 1t is now in the way of a
permanent solution.
Il have Just completed a careful In
spection of the Brown Bear and Horse
shoe claims of the Teton Valley Coal
Company. The mines are located about
ten or twelve miles from briggs and
are that far distant from the railroad.
All that is required at the present is
the running of a spur track to the
mines from briggs or some other point
on the Victor branch of the Oregan
short Line, over a route not difficult
THE Horseshoe mine which we first |
visited has a splendid vein of coal ten |
feet in thickness. The coal seam has |
ceen developed for great distance on
he surface and also at depth. The
'eam is without rock or waste. The

yhich is distant several thousand feet

workings. measured the coal at
various points, and always found the
seam nine and one half to ten feet in
thickness.
There is also seat Of coal five feet
in thickness. This is very much
harder coal, and probably would be
classified as a semi bitumilous coal,
and closely approaching anthricite in
fuel value. The five foot vein is re-
garded as Of economical workable size
while the ten foot vein is regarded as
a large coal measure. All these veins
have been thoroughly explored and
there is no reason why they should not
continue for many thousands of feet
THE coal at present blocked out is
of sufficient size and extent to Justify
the construction of railroad The
company owning the property has a
small hosting plant on the property
and is now putting in a triple In
the near future the mine will be equip
ped to handle at least 500 tons a day.
When you begin to think of the value
of such an amount of coal steadily
supplied to the people of this state, you
will better appreciate the necessity of
its immediate development and use in
a commercial way. 1t would mean the
supplying of at least 10000 tons of
coal annually to our own people, with
the consequent holding in the state of
the purchase price of the fuel, the saw
ing to already congested railroad lines
of equipment and haulage and the Civ
ing employment in we'll paid in
dustry to several hundred skilled men.
"All this depends upon the con-
struction of about ten miles of railroad
track. / believe that the Oregon Short
Line and the Union Pacific officials
will see their way to the making of this
during the coming
spring and summer months and that
next year will see most of us burning
coal from state mine.
