Utah boasts the greatest coal field.
In the United States. The main are
situated In carbon county and II is
said boy experts that there is moro coal
In this one county than there II In the
entire state ~ Pennsylvania. Such Is
the statement made by Salt Lakes
Tribune In lts New Years edition ur
last Sunday. and one NJ the very best
that excellent and always reliable
newspaper has ever gotten out Tho
average annual production for some
years past has Appropriated 3.f5O.000
tons. hut during the year just closing
n Is estimated that the production
largely exceeds this estimate. This
has been due To- great extent tu the
work ~ the car service bureau, organ
lied Go did In the distribution Of coal
throughout the Western and Coast
States. coupled with the hearty coop
Grafton Of the railroads and the pro-
ducing mines. In fact. despite much
greater demand for coal than for Sow
cral years preceding. owing TO the war
and the largely increased cunsump-
ton on the Pacific Coast. the produc-
ing companies have done fairly well
In furnishing fuel as II was needed.
n ~ estimated that the coming year
will see "A large increase In the produc-
ton from the Carbon county fields a.
number Of new properties are being
opened and viii soon be .eady to be-
gin regular shipments. while the COM
panics that already have been opera
ting on large scale are making i'm.
proyomcnts and doing development
work that will largely Increase their
output Exact figures are not avail
able. but II ~ estimated that several
millions Of dollars have been expended
during the present year. one Of the
big expenditures has been made by the
United States Fuel company In equip

now has six Of the finest and most
powerful locomotives manufactured.

TRIES TO EXPLAIN
General HOrvath Would
Squirm Out.
His Coup D'Etat in Siberia
Complete Failure.
(By the Associated Press

Vladivostok, Aug. 26.-The recent
attempt of Lieut.. General Horvath to
gain control of the Russian military
forces in Siberia was such a complete
failure that it is probable the 400
Zemstvo troops who sided with him
and subsequently were disarmed will
join the army of General Semenoff,
arti-Bolsheviki leader, in trans
Baikali, who is cooperating with the
entente forces. The troops offered no
resistance to the decision of the al
lies that they must lay down their
arms.
The disarming of the Zemstvos was
effected by squads Of allied troops
who virtually besieged the barracks
occupied by the revolters. A decision
10 submit an ultimatum to the re-
VOTERS was reached by the council
commanders.
The revolters were given the option
Of returning to their original COM
mand or OF joining the forces of Cen
eral Semenoff on the Manchurian
front or of submitting to disarma

Horvath Tries to Explain.
An aide of General Horvath today
sought to explain away the detection
of the troops and disclaimed any in
tention on the part of his chief to
seize control af the government.
The Zemstvo troops. he said, had
long chaIed because of their inaction
and desired to fight the enemy under
General Pleshkoff Therefore. he
said, when General Pleshkoff recently
arrived he issued a call for the troops
to assemble and all came except those
of General Tolstoff, who refused to
subordinate himself and was dismissed
from command.
The affair is simple" said the aide,
and l can't understand why there is
all this excitement about it,
General Horvath recently bv coup
d etat assumed control of all the Rus
sian military forces in the far east.
The move failed almost Immediately

BRIBERY IS CHARGED
ChicagO's Traction Unification Ordi-
nance Denounced by Grand Jury.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Charges that the
adoption Of Chicago's new traction
utilization ordinance was procured
by "blbery, corruption and undue in
fiuence' are embodied in a report of
the Cook county grand jury today.
The jury. without accommodating
specific action, lists $50 faults in the
measure, which provides for unifica-
ton Of surface and elevated lines and
for future sUbways and extensions.
The ordinance is a vicious, ill-ad-
vised, il-cOnsidered, hasty and one
sided bargain granting everything to
the traction interests and in no way
preserving the rights of the city, it's
citizens or patrons OF the company
says the report.
