THREE FORMER FALlON BOYS
ARRESTED IN CALIFORNIA
Amateur Burglars Who Broke Into
Kent Company Store Taken Into
Custody at Stockton. Calf.

Three former youths of this COM
munity, Clarence Brady, age %.
Jacob Williams, age "a, and Leonard
Jackson, age IT, were taken into
custody at Stockton, Calf, last Fri
day charged with burglarizing a ga
rage in that city and when confront
ed by their captors confessed to the
burglary of the |. H. Kent Company
store in this city on the night of
August End. at which time they
made away with seven six shooters.
After leaving here, according to the
stories told to the Stockton police
officials, they beat their way to Rose
vile, where they drew a gun on the
crew of freight train and rode by
intimidation, later stealing an auto
mobile and making their way to
Stockton.
Sheriff c. NJ. Way has taken up
the matter of seeking to recover the
guns with the Stockton officials.

NEVADA VALLEYS POWER co.
GRANTED LICENSE ELsEwHERE

The county executive heads of
Washoe, Pershing and Humboldt
counties have granted 50-year fran
chlses to the Nevada Valleys Power
Company, identical with the fran
chise matter now pending before the
commissioners of this county. II is
said that the Truckee River General
Electric Company has its sole COM
petitor In northern Nevada In the
Nevada Valleys Power Company and
for this reason wherever the matter
is thoroughly understood there is
disposition to accord the newer out
fit fair hearing.
II is also stated by project officials
that II is not at all likely that the La
hontan hydro-electric plant will be
leased to the Nevada Valleys people
at the expiration of the present con-
tract some three years hence. The
reason for this statement correlates
around the fact that an adequate
flow of water for power purposes
cannot be guaranteed, 1t being tha
reclamation service policy to serve
irrigation needs in advance OF power
purposes.

the price. If you haven't got the
price, borrow it, II may be easier
to borrow money than coal next wiz
ter.
From the American Coal Miner
Buy Coal now-in August, or the
Autumn will be too late. A big Coal
Shortage is coming. Thousands of
miners are going back to Europe.
Ny advice to consumers is to buy
now while they can get a selection
and delivery.
Reported saying of the fue'
Administrator.
Those who postpone buying Coal
in the hope of lower prices are spec
ulating in the future misfortune of
the nation. Nothing In the labor
situation warrants any one expecting
materially lower cost of commodi-
ties in general and Coal in partiau-
lar.
This message from Secretary Of
Labor.
Unless the consumer buys his Coal
this summer he is going to find it
difficult to get a supply this fall and
winter l predict a shortage of cars
because of resumption of business in
general. There are plenty of cars
to-day and consumers of Coal are
urged to use them while they can
get them.
Above remarks are credited to
the Director of Railroads.
The tendency of buyers to hold
off is limiting the output inasmuch
as but few mines can store Coal at
the point of production and even
then only in very limited quantities.
When the rush orders for next win
ter's needs come the danger is that
mines with their depleted labor
forces in many instances, and the
problem of transportation and car
shortage will be unable to meet the
situation Thus repetition of the
situation in 1917 is likely.
The American Coal Miner.
At this time shipping conditions
already reflect the above predictions.
We hope therefore that you will con-
tinue to set forth the wisdom of
buying now.
