RAILWAYS TO PRE-.
VENT FUEL SHORTAGE
COAL CONSERVATION WILL BE
TAKEN OVER BY A CENTRAL
COMMITTEE

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 6.-The
railroad administration has practi-
cally completed its coal conservation
machinery to operate during the
strike, and to provide against fuel
shortage insofar as possible. Direc-
tor General Hines announced the ap-
pointment of a central committee
from railroad administration Off
cials, together with a representative
of the shipping board, which, with
regional and district committees,
will form a network of supervision
for all bituminous coal in the coun-
try.
Members of the central committee
which will sit constantly here will
take over, to a large degree, func-
tons of the fuel administration. The
committee. however, will takes no
jurisdiction over prices except to CO.
operate with the department of JUS
tice in Furnishing profiteers.
Officials here believed the plan
evolved by Mr.. Hines will provide an
equitable distribution of coal and
avoid the tying up of traffice on
some lines while others might have
large tonnage in storage. 1t was
asserted that the regional and dis
trict committees could ascertain def
initely the supplies held at any ter
minal. Thus, they can reroute freight
teraffic and re assign stocks where
most needed, officials said
The strike already has reduced the
volume of freight traffic about 40 per
cent. This cut wah said to repre-
sent approximately the percentage of
traffic made up of coal.

RESERVATIONS ARE
BEFORE SHNATE
MOVE BY HITCHCOCK FOR VOTE
on TREATY KILLED BY
OBJECTIONS

Washington, d. c., Nov. 6.-Sen-
ator Hitchcock, democratic leader.
late today Unexpectedly moved for a
vote on the peace treaty without
qualifications. A "yes" and noes"
vote were demanded.
Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin, ask
ed that the motion be amended so
that in case it was defeated the
treaty would still be before the SEN
ate.
Objections killed the motion for a
direct vote at once and Senator
Hitchcock then moved that the treaty
be taken from the senate acting as a
committee of the whole and reported
to the senate proper.
Senator Lodge then offered the
foreign relations committee reserva-
tons to the senate and said he would
ask. that they be voted on individ-
ually. Consideration OF the reserva-
tions then began.

Runs Down Coyotes;
Kills Them With Hands

Pierre, Nov. 6.-Two coyotes in
less than an hour, without any weap-
ons to help in disposing of them, is
the record of Howard Wedeman. an
1S-year-old boy near Hartley, in
Haakon county.
He was riding a lively sepping
horse just after the recent, snow
storm, and sighted coyote and gave
chase. The deep snow hampered the
running quarry, which was soon over
taken near fence. The young man
jumped from his horse, and, grab
bing the hind legs of the weary coy
ote. smashed its head against a post
Wedeman soon sighted another
coyote, and ran that down, but the
only way he had of killing it was by
choking. :.
He was bitten in the leg and hand
in this operation. but killed the ami
NAL just the same and brought in
both coyotes as evidence of his abil-
ity to catch them by hand

.RANCHERS OF DEL.
RICHS PROSPEROUS
ONE RECEIVES $91 PER ACRE
FROM ALFALFA SEED
AND HAY

Oelrichs, Nov. 6.-Farmers of Fall
river county have enjoyed a prosper
Gus year, despite the fact that the
wheat crop was not up to the usual
standard. The wheat yield is esti-
mated at from 10 to IL bushels per
acre, some fields going as high as IS
bushels, however. The corn crop
was not heavy, but is valuable for
fodder, while the hay crop while not
up to the average, is sufficient to
care for the native cattle and for the
hundreds of head of cattle brought
into the county to winter.
Alfalfa seed is proving standby
for the farmers of the county. Nearly
every farmer has from 80 to 100
acres in and the returns have been
very satisfactory. The hulling of the
seed has been practically completed,
and William Distler, farmer near
Oelrichs, received 3S bushels from a
12-acre field, while William Laprots,
secured $50 bushels from a 64-acre
field, of which 118 bushels were pro-
duced from 80 acres.
This he sold at % cents a pound.
making about $66 an acre for seed
alone besides $40 an cres for hay
from the first cuttin* and about IS
an acre for the straw from the ma
tured alfalfa, from which the seed
was taken, or total of $91 an acre.
William Distler's estimated total
yield from his IL acres, in seed, hay
and straw, is SIS an acre. Other
farmers report nearly as good yields
from their alfalfa fields. v. c. At
well hauled a wagon box full Of al
falfa seed to market and received
$3.50 for it when the seed was selling
at 20 cents a pound.

Caribou Thick
About Dawson

Dawson, Y. T., Nov. 6.-Caribou
bythousands are ranging the hills
within five miles of Dawson and over
an area of fifty miles wide by one
hundred miles in length. Every hill
and valley is said to be covered with
the herds. Arrivals here from Gla-
cier Creek, travelling the main road
through the center of the herds for
fifty miles, estimate that there are
hundreds OF thousands of the ami
mails in the great assembly.
Dawson people are leaving here in
squads to secure their winter meat
supply. With beef and mutton SELL
ing here at from sixty to eighty cents
a pound the caribou afford great re-
lief from the high cost of living.
Women, boys and girls are joining
the men in the big hunt.

FARMERS FAVOR
REDUCED LABOR
ARE DISCUSSING PLAN OF FIVE
DAYS PER WEEK AND SIN
HOURS PER DAY

Plerre, Nov. Ga Brown county
farmer, in Aberdeen the past week
SAID this five day week and six
hour a day. plan was beginning to
look good to the farmers in his sec
ton; in fact, looked so good that
they had formed local organization.
and would attempt to get the north
ern part of the state to get into line
With them, on the basis of putting in
Just enough time on their farms next
year TO keep themselves busy six
hours day for five days in the week
What if the farmers in this coun-
try would all take this stand for one
year?
Ihey would be in a position to
talk"talk across the table" with
labor and, in fact, everyboyd in the
country on basis of $40 a bushel
wheat-pay it or starve-with no
middle ground for discussion.
HIS view expressed was that the
farmer has the same right to make
such demands as anyone else. He
would be in position to raise what
he wanted for his own family, and
the other fellow" would have to get
II at whatever cost basis the farmer
might want to place on the product.
He said that farmers were getting
tired OF trying to get labor which
would not work, and putting in long
hours themselves to feed the fellows
who belieev that they are entitled TO
living by putting in most of their
time at "loafing time" instead of
working time.
This movement, he insisted, was
not joke in any way, but was what
they intend to organize for as extern
sively as possible.

THE MADISON
COAL SITUATION
LOCAL DEALERS REPORT SMALL.
STOCKS IN THEIR BINS
A CONFERENCE

AT conference of coal dealers of
the city held this afternoon in the
freight office, Mr.. Gregorson, local
agent for the Milwaukee railroad, ex-
planned the transportation and hand
ling of commercial or soft coal over
company lines out from the mines
and from such loading docks as Du-
luth, Waukegan, Milwaukee, Chi
cago and Green Bay.
1t developed that stocks here are
in sore need of replenishing, as the
inventory shows that the Farmers
elevator has only five tons on hand ;
the Hayes-Lucas company, no soft
coal; eKtcham & Son, ten or fifteen
tons; Merchants elevator about TWEEN
ty ons, etc. This gives an idea of the
present situation, except that all
dealers have ordered coal either in
transit or ready for it.
Instructions as follows have been
sent to all station and freight agents:
All commercial or soft coal moving
from the mines and loaded at Wau-
kegan or Chicago docks is bein gsent
out TO the first division point short
of actual destination to await dispo-
sition.
All soft coal from the Lake docks,
except Waukegan and Chicago, now
enroute and billed before IL to l
o'lcok m. Nov. 2rd, will be sent
through to destination and delivered
to consignee.
In order to supervise the handling
of soft coal dealers applications must
be filed with G.. F. Ludington, fuel
supervisor, at Chicago, duplicate
copy to be sent to the chief dispatch
er at Austin, Minn. All applications
must show: Cd Information of re-
quirements; CD Amount now Or
hand; (3) Amount required for pre-
ferred use; (4) Rate of consump-
tion; CD Kind and size required;
(6) From what mine or loading dock
shipment is made ordinarily; CD
Numbers of cars now in transit
The instructions to. the local agent
stated, in brief, that a report must
be made each day, not later than four
o'clock, of all cars of soft coal held
here, waybills of same to be for
warded to Fuel Supervisor Luding-
ton. at Chicago. The above instruc-
tions were sent out by Supt. E. A.
Meyer.
Freight conductors orders read
Commercial soft coal for all stations
between Madison and washington
Springs, also along the line from this
city to Bristol must be set out at
Madison. This does not affect hard
coal or company coal
The normal school bunkers are
fairly well filled at present, but the
Madison mill has only limited sup
ply.
At the conference it was decided to
allot but one ton to each customer
during the present shortage perior,
or perhaps until the strike situation
clears. Business men may however,
order more than the above amount.
The feeling was that the govern
ment and the strikers will soon get
together on the situation and end
the shortage.
