REGIONAL CAR
SHORTAGE WORST
N MANY A DAY
There Are Only AL Cars ON
the B. & o.
Today.

Car supply conditions are growing
worse ana worse until today there are
but AL cars on the Monongah divi
sion of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road.
With probably one exception in the
was something better than 80 cars on
the division today's shortage is one oi
the worst recorded within the past one
and u half years.
Accompanying the shortage there
appears to be slight advance in coal
prices as buyers are now commencing
to see the handwriting on the wall The
effort to convince the buying public
as well as the industrial purchasing
agents to secure their coal in time in
many cases was not accepted because
they calculated that coal prices would
drop rather than advance. Every In
dication at hand is that coal short
age will be experienced this winter
largely due to the fact that advice was
not needed.
Inquiries are coming into the region
for slack and quite few operators
can sell 1t for 50 ton right now
There is some slight advance in pre-
pared sizes also. If the marine strike
continues over long period Of time
slack will even advance higher IN
price.
Today there are 4SO coal and II
coke cars on the division. All of the
AL cars are placed. Cars left over
from the previous day were seventy
Thursdays Production.
On the Monongah division Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad yesterday

! tion was 571 cars and the coke cars
Coal loaded east yesterday was 464
cars and west 105 loads. Five cars OF
coke were loaded west and two were

Railroad fuel loaded yesterday on
the Monongah division was 1853 loads
which is seven loads short of the pre-
vious day. New York Central, B. &
o. and P. & r. are shaded down which
is caused largely by the car shortage

26 car loads of coal shipped to Curtis
Bay, which is Just one load less than
the previous day.
Shipments to ST. Georges in accord
ance with the embargo declared were
cut off yesterday.
Lake Shipments.
There was some slight improvement
in the lake shipments yesterday. The
tonnage advanced to IS loads from 4s
loads the day before This week the

favorable for the Fairmont region.

crops were almost complete failure, not enough being raised to supply the needs of the colony. Consequently they were compelled to send teams to Utah for supplies.
 Floods Vs. Perseverance
 A great deal of damage was done by floods, but they built dikes and levees of logs and stones and persisted in battling with the treacherous streams. A steam saw-mill was estab- ished near Ballinger, and a tannery was later established. A grist-mil was built near Sunset and the colony for a time seemed to be fairly prosperous. But two years later another flood oc- cured and a great deal of-damage was done by early and late frosts. The trials were enough to make the hearts of the strongest grow faint, and many did grow discouraged and returned to Utah. However, majority of these early settlers were strong and resolute men and women and in spite of all hardships they have fought the battle and conquered. and there are now in the northern part of the state about 5. 900 Mormon people.
 Lehi Settled
 About 1879 nine families were organ ized by President Brigham Young at St. George, Utah, and sent out under the

tering and machine work, and so it was in all the industrial pursuits, each man did the work for which he was best suited. All products were collect ed in one large storehouse and used as needed by the different members of the community.
 Sunset was an extremely interesting place. All the cooking was done in one large kitchen and all the inhabitants ol the town. ate in one large dining rooff- although each family had it's own dwelling house. The town was built in fort style, with all doors leading into an inner court, in which the dining room and kitchen were located.
 They continued to live in this way until the community grew large and strong enough so that ordinary com munity life was possible.
 In 1878 the first Mormon settlers came to St. Johns under the leader ship of Ammon M. Penney. The place was then largely owned by a man named Sol Earth, who sold it to the Mormon people.
 | About 1887 the Eastern Arizona Stake was divided and ell of the north ern settlements were organized into 1 the two stakes. The one called St. Johns and the other Snowflake.

MT. Stinson thought there was only land and water enough for MT. Flake and his boys, but MT. Flake thought differently and decided to lay out three towns on the ranch.
 There was great deal of dispute as to what the chief settlement should be called. Some wanted it called Flake for William J. Flake, and others want ed it called Snow for Erastus Snow, so a compromise was made and the town named Snowflake.
 Three miles above Snowflake the town of Taylor was established and about five miles further on Shumway was located under the leadership of Erastus Snow.
 These settlements were all organized into the Eastern Arizona Stake with Jesse M. Smith as president. .
 Community Life
 It was the purpose of these people to raise all they wanted and to make themselves an independent community, so they organized themselves into a band known as the United Order, and had everything in common. Those among them who were skilled in farm ing, titled the soil, and those expert in the art of blacksmithing did the com munity work of this character, those skilled in the art of building and ma chine work did the community carpen-

MORMON ADHERENTS
 PROVEN MANY TIMES
 LOYAL AND PATRIOTIC
Judge Geo. Crosby, IT,, For mer Judge Superior Court Apache County, Contrib utes Article to Show Patri- otic Service of l.. D. s.

l am requested to write an article on the Americanism of the Mormon peo- pie. 1 presume this includes the loy- alty of the Latter Day Saint or Nor mon church.
 The Latter Day Saint church teaches that the constitution of the United States is an inspired document and that it is part of the religious duty of its members to be loyal American cit izens, as indeed to be loyal citizens of all republics and loyal subjects of all righteous monarchs, and one of it's ar ticles of faith says:
 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers and magistrates; in obeying, honoring and sustaining the law"
 The Latter Day Saints in their his tory of now nearly one hundred years believe that their acts have not belied their teachings.
 In the later thirties these people, then aobut twelve thousand in number, were driven out of the state of Missouri. The government of that state even went so far as to issue an exterminating order by which the people could be eXter minated if they did not leave the state The leaders of the church appealed to President Van Buren for redress for the wrongs they had suffered in that state but the President remarked Gen tlemen. your cause is just, but can do nothing for you"
 The people then fled to Illinois and in five years built up beautiful city in that state but they were again driv- on from their homes by armed mobs, composed of American citizens and no government defended them. They left their homes and went into the western wilderness to find another land in which to make other homes. When they were scattered over the prairies of Iowa with many of their number i'll and all living homeless in Indian country, an order came for them to
Arizona republican., 1919-09-19

The Lord blessed Jacob of old and called him '1srael," and promised him and his grandfather Abraham, that through them all the nations of the world should be blessed; that Israel should be scattered; and that Israel should be gathered. So we find in read ing Genesis and Isaiah.
 Agreeable to the principle of gather ing. the Church of Jesus Christ of The Latter Day Saints, commonly called Mormons, proselyte the world and gather their converts to Zion, that they may be taught the doctrines of the church, and work together as 2 united band. (Zion is interpreted by The Latter Day Saints is America.)
 Exploration
 To provide room for the spread of israel, the leaders of the church have colonized new country and spread over the land tic settlements of the saints. Bcgsnaing from a central place, Salt Like City they have gone out north into Canada and the country interven- ing 10 Mexico, and all the country in- tervening east and west throughout the Rocky mountain region.
 It was for this reason that, about the middle of the nineteenth century, An tone W. Ivans, now one of the twelve apostles of the church, with an expedi- ton of Mormon men, explored all of Arizona They were very favorably impressed with the country and recom- mended it as a good place for settle ment
 Colony Sent Out
 In accordance with this recommenda- ton few years later a band of col- onizers was sent out by President Brig ham Young of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, to make settlement.
 This, however, was not the first ap- pearance of the Mormons in the state. At Council Bluffs, Iowa, in 1846, the president of the Unitei States called upon President Brigham Young to fur nish 800 soldiers for the war with Mex ico. This was during the great exodus of the Mormon people from the eastern country into the unknown west. In three days there was 800 Mormon men and boys mustered into the service of their country. which depleted the male population very materially, but never theless they were always and will al- ways be true to their government. President Young told them in parting that they would make the march de- sired and would never have to fire a gun, which history will prove correct They equipped at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. marched through to Santa Fe, from where they followed the Rio Grande, turned west and passed

Leavenworth From Ft. Leavenworth they went as infantry to Santa Fe and from Santa Fe to San Diego without a road, with out an additional base of supplies. With inadequate teams and old cast off wagons and arms, they made their way through to san Diego, the hardest infantry march in military history.
 The Utah pioneers with the mem ories of the Missouri terminating order. of Illinois heartless expulsion, of President Van Buren's polite re- fusal, made their way to the valley of the Great Salt Lake which was then Mexican territory and the third day in their new camp they placed an Amer ican flag on the most prominent hill afterwards to be known as Ensign Peak.

 In the war with Spain and especially in the trouble with the Philippines that followed, Utah's light artillery, composed largely of Mormons, did splendid service and in the recent Eu- ropean war the Mormons did their share and more than their share.
 We do not ask that the world shall look to our war record alone for our Americanism. The Union Pacific rail- road followed the track of the Utah pioneers; the Southern Pacific follow ed the track of the Mormon battalion; members of the Mormon battalion dis covered gold in Californi, the inter- mountain Mormon settlers developed the system of western irrigation; the western Mormon believes that raising a family and in them to inculcate the principles of loyalty to country, virtue and devotion to God, and this has shown and does show Mormon loyalty in everyday life. Taught as the Nor mon people are to believe that the home life is eternal and tat family life does not end with this world knowing that the family is the basis of all civilization, of all governments and of all established orders among men, so do the Mormons believe that American loyalty is based on the same ultimate base, the home and the family.
