MIR. FORD AGAIN

make money helping other people.
Wealth does not become a crime un-
less you abuse your accumulation
by the use you make of it. Making
money is crime If it has been made
by harming others. Ford made his
money helping men. He's helped us
to get over the ground, or deliver
our parcels and PACKAGES easily and
swiftly and cheaply. He's rendered
us service. Now he comes across
with the Fordson, the farm engine
he tells us will economically and eff
ficiently pillow our fields, drag the
harrow and the seeder and the
planter, pull the harvester and haul
the grain. Maybe it will do it bet
ter than other tractors, maybe it
won't, we do not know, but we do
know that Mr.. Ford's plan of SELL
ing that tractor without profit, get
ting it to the farmer on the basic
cost of production and distribution
that he may thus far contribute to-
ward getting out the maximum har-
vest this year, is a patriotic con-
Mr.. Ford will be charged
with trying to advertise himself.
Well, let it go at that. But lots the
fellow who accuses Mr.. Ford of ad-
vertising himself by selling useful
product without profit go and do
equally we'll in like manner and the
world will be mighty glad to ad-
vertise him.

WILL open
THE TETON
Mines AT ONCE
A Spur from briggs Will be
Constructed by the
Short Line.

GOODING, July 9.-"The strenu
GUS efforts o ia variety of agencies
of personal character which were
invoked to the end of securing the
construction of a spur railroad line
from briggs to the Teton coal mines
has been crowned with success" was
the statement of Fuel Administrator
GoOding today. II have just heard
from R. c. Talbot, the manager OF
the mines in the Teton field, and also
from President E. E. Calvin that the
director general of railroads has
granted authority to the Oregon
I Short Line to Immediately construct
about twelve miles of railroad tract
in Teton county, Idaho to the Brown
Bear coal mines in that county.
Benefits Expected Next Year
II have the feeling that this is a
notable achievement, and that as a
result within the next year the peo-
pie of Idaho will be able to depend
upon coal mines within the state for
supplying at least one-fourth and
perhaps a greater proportion of the
coal needs of the state. 1t will have
the effect of reducing the cost of
coal to portion of our population
and will to a great extent remove the
yearly fear of disastrous shortage
of fuel in that portion of the state.
Now that the ice has been broken so
far as the production of coal in Idaho
Is concerned, it seems possible that
the coming years will see the de-
velopment of the coal area in the
Boise section, and also that in the
vicinity of OrOfino and Kamiah in
northern Idaho.
Matter but Little Understood
Early this spring when the work
of securing the building of this spur
line was undertaken, but little was
known turnout the state relative to
coal deposits in Idaho. | had taken
1t for granted myself, since coal was
not being produced, that there was
no coal to produce. Investigation of
the Teton fields showed that some
thing like 5000, 000tons had been
blocked out. Since that time further
explorations and development has in
creased this amount to 100000
tons, and several new coal mines
and coal measures have been dis
covered in this section.
Other Coal Mines i'm Idaho
"The coal mines in the Horseshoe
Bend section have recently come in
for additional exploration and de-
velopment, and it now seems that
next year will see a coal producer
developed there. There are also in
dications that the coal deposits in
the Orofino and Kamiah region will |
attract the attention of capital dur
ing the coming year. 1t is to be
hoped that all these activities will |
be successful.
Storage Plan Still Pursued
"The building of the spur line to
the Teton coal fields does not mean
that chere should be any stoppage of
effort in securing a full supply of /
coal from Wyoming and Utah. 1t
is too late in the year to hope that
the Teton mines will produce, very I
much coal this year. Mr.. Calvin in
his telegram insisted on the con-
tinuing necessity Of the effort to
secure winter coal. In this l join
very heartily.
