VAST COAL DEPOSITS INSTATE
WIS.,
The state of Idaho has vast coal de-
posits in the Tetons. Citizens of briggs
at a mass meeting held recently de-
cided to solicit the endorsement of the
people in a petition to the government
to authorize the Oregon Short Line
Railway company to build a branch
from briggs to the mines Frank r.
Gooding. federal fuel administrator for
the state, is interested in the develop
uent of the mines. for he believes they
will furnish the fuel supply for South
ern Idaho. A shaft has been sunk in
the coal propertp through good coal
500 feet deep. There are millions of
tons in sight. The coal is of a good
quality all the way down. The mine
can be put into shape to handle from
500 to 500 tons daily. Transportation
facilities are needed to get the coal
from the mines and it is to provide
this that the government will be ask
ed to proceed with the construction of
line from briggs to the mines. There
are vast phosphate deposits in the
Teton mountains.

WINTER-COAL
MSS
Your attention is earnestly called to
the recent notice of the State Fuel Ad-
ministrator. You are advised to place
your order for coal NOW, all that you
will need for the coming twelve months
The order should be placed before May
first in order to secure the reduced
price,. To neglect this will cost you
extra money. The mines have made
a reduction in price below what they
are authorized to charge in order to
move coal while cars are idle There
will be car shortage as soon as crops
begin to move
See your dealer and place your order
this month. Those who are forehanded
iivide up next winter-"A word to the
wise is sufficient'-get busy. Some
dealers are making extra inducement
70 those who will take car lots from
your neighbors and save money in this
way. You must have coal. Threshing
Ind winter will come, so get it when
rou can. Be sure and buy the grade
hat will keep.
r. e. SHEPHERD,
County Fuel Administrator.
