PRICE AND
STORAGE

While race riots in Washington
D. c. and Chicago and tornados in
Minnesota are holding the lead in
daily news Importance some words
to the wise about coal shortages and
climbing prices go almost unnoticed
However, it seem a fact, that he who
hesitates at buying will pay dearly.
Coal, like hay, is likely to 60 a-soar-
ing.
One trade journal says: "If coal
warned is coal-warmed, we shall all
be warm enough next winter"
Another advises: Buy your coal
now-if you've got the price. II you
haven t got the price, borrow it. 1t
may be easier to borrow money than
coal next winter"
The fuel administrator is reported
as saying:
Buy coal now-in August or
autumn will be too late. A big coal
shortage is coming. Thousands of
miners are going back to Europe. My
advice to consumers is to buy now
while they can get a selection and
delivery"
One coal journal declares that the
tendency of the public to hold off is
limiting the production of coal by
the mines.-F. C. X.

OVERZEALOUS
OLONIZING

If the Arco-Pioneer colonization
scheme turns out as unfortunately
as expert investigators deem possible,
another black eye will be registered
on western settlement lands. Immi-
grafton Commissioner o. H. BARRIERS
committee, composed of Professor
Hitchcock, Byron Hunter and L. C.
Aicher, thinks that the land filed on
by some sixty ex-soldiers from mid
die western states is not worth work
ing. There are 800 acre tracts out
Of which they believe not ten acres
could be cultivated with success. 1t
Is understood that the Union Pacific
system has ceased to promote the
scheme by sending out soldier
settlers.
j. A. Stewart of Blackfoot was first
to record complaints. He told the
prospective settlers, when asked, that
in his opinion the land was at pres
emit not worth developing. e. M.
Kennedy, being appealed to, made
himself heard, and O.. H. Barber
came over from Boise to investigate.

LESSON OF
DROUGHT

The grass-hopper sings and dances
all summer. and maybe he eats up a
few crops Of hay to soothe his en0r-
nous appetite; come winter, and he
is out of luck. But the industrious
ant has in the warm weather busily
occupied himself in laying by a fine
supply of edibles for the long, hard
season. Give the ant credit, he I'M
derstands conservation.
This years drought has made
western farmers think. They see
every winter great volumes of water
flowing by their doors in the rivers
bound for the sea. That water is
the same stuff that makes spuds
sprout, grain grow; makes hay high
and beets big. Only when it has once
gone down the river its virtues are
lost to summer fields. The answer
is conservation.
There is no better time, surely, for
the PRONUNCIATION of reclamation
schemes than this year,. G. X.

This bill, for which a fight has been

TRADE BOARD URGES
CAR LINES MERGER

The Washington oBard of Trade
yesterday Endorsed the report of the
subcommittee on Public Utilities,
which declared that a merger of the
Washington street car lines is the
best way out of the difficult situation,
and indicates that the general opinion
of Washington citizens is in favor of
the merger.
The committee reported several
reasons why the merger OF the trac-
ton lines should be effected in order
to give better service to the public,
these include: more economical ma.$
agement, rerouting OF cars on both
lines and interchangeable use Of all
tracks, thus saving car mileage, ad-
ditiOnal lines and using to full ca
pacity the present trackage.
Overhead charges would be reduced,
the board believes, and the financial
status of such a merged concern
would be strong.
a fiat rate is upheld by the board,
which would do away with transfer
charges. Crossing police should be
paid by the city, not by railway com
panies, and the paving between car
tracks should be also be the city's
concern.
The committee oppressed the belief
that it is not supposed legislation
could compel a merger, but it is the
duty of those serving the public, to
bend every effort TO better the serV-
ice.
