CLEARING LINCOLN HIGHWAY.
Teams, and Graders Removing Snow
From Main Highway.


The Lincoln highway. both east and
west Of the city, is being cleared Of
snow to open the road for automobile
traffic. Teams and graders have been
sent over the road east to LeGraud
and west ae fur as Lamoille. Graders
were working today on the south
road. from tho junction with the Lin
coin highway, west into State Center.
1t Is not probable that the board OF
supervisors Will attempt to do more
than make the Lincoln highway pass
able and It Is unlikely that they will
send graders over the other county
roads. The county's tractor has been
shipped to the factory Tor repairs and
SO much trouble was experienced in
moving 1t under Its own power thru
the snow from tho county warehouse
to the railroad car on which 1t was
loaded that some doubt was expressed
whether Il could be operated success
fully hauling q grader over country
roads drifted with snow.
The opening OF tho Lincoln highway
h only OF comparatively slight benefit,
because practically all Of the township
roads are 30 'drifted that they are irn-

MORE COAL MOVING
TWO cARLoApe OF COAL AND
ONE or COKE RECEIVED.
Twelve Cars Of Coal and One OF Coke
Received by Local Dealers In First
Two Days Of Week, AItho Little Had
Been Expected - Gregory May Get
Action.

Further relief from the fuel shortage
same today when two carloads of coal
and one Of coke were received by local
dealers. This makes twelve cars o!
coal and one of Coke received In the
first two days Of the week. whereas no
coal had been expected until late In
the week. Some concern was expires
sed today, however. over the expected
refusal of the mine operators to accept
the commission named under tae
Palmer plan of settlement, which may
lead to another break with consequent
cessation Of work. AS a result OF this
fear tho city probably will not sell the
God cut by tho street and alley crew
for city use, as had been planned.
One local dealer today received q
carload Of freshly mined Iowa coal and
another a car OF steam coal for tito
puolic schools. A third was in receipt
OF e. carload Of coke.
Free Run OF Coal Expected.
II is expected that the arrival of coal
otter Christmas will be ample for al
purposes, now that the railroads have
received sufficient supply to last fol
some weeks to come. Much coal now
is believed to be enroute and much OF
this should be on local tracks by the
end Of the week.
Very little iowa coal has 20 far been
received but the effect Of the resump-
ton OF work in the Iowa mines Is ex-
pected to ybe quite noticeable In the
receipt Of Iowa coal in large quantities
In q very few days.

ing information regarding the thou

Of this stock to Iowa. Gregory notified
