Governor Suggests Citizens Meeting

to BE Held to Plan Equitable
Distribution Of Coal
SPREADING TOWARDS COAST

BOISE. Ida, Dec. 4.-Governor D.
w. Davis today authorized the press
to convey to the mayors and citizens
o fthe various towns, villages and
cities his suggestion that q meeting
of representative citizens be held in
each town to work out plan for rthe
equitable distribution of fuel.
Idaho has not yet begun to feel
the coal shortage, except in two
towns, but Governor Davis believes
the equitable distribution Of, fuel
should be undertaken at once to
stave off any such consequences as
have come to many of the towns and
cities of the middle west.
Payette and Salmon City today ap-
pealed to state officials to help them
In getting coal at once. The mayor
Of Salmon wired the public utilities
commission to use its influence in
helping the Salmon Fuel company to
obtain twenty cars of coal which had
been contracted for with the Utah
Coal company. The matter was re-
ferred by the commission to the
United States railroad administra-
ton.
After having spent several hours
last night and part Of this morning
in telephone conversation with the
authorities of towns and cities, Gov
ernor Davis announced today that
Idaho is apparently not in dire CIR
cumstances because Of the coal

Filler Is Swept
By $35, 900 Fire

TWIN FALLS, Ida, Dec. Fire
of unknown origin at Filler today de-
stroyed the Filler department store,
with q stock valued at $4,000, and
damaged to some extent surrounding
business buildings. Structures in the
center Of the town values, with their
contents, at 100000, were with diff
ficulty saved from destruction. The
Filler volunteer fire department was
aided by the motor fire fighting ap-
paratus from Bull and q chemical
engine from Twin Falls.
The blaze was discovered at eight
o'clock this morning by w. w. Tay-
lor, who yesterday purchased the
Filler department store. Flames
were emerging through the floor
from the basement. Nothing Of value
was saved. Occupants Of adjoining
buildings hastily removed their prop
erty. Those threatened and dam
aged by the fire are the First Ma
tional bank, Filler pharmacy, postof-
flee, motion picture theater and A..
r. Moore's confectionery.
Business was suspended in Filler,
while the citizens joined the firemen
in more than four hours fighting to
control the flames. Two men were
overcome by smoke and gas. Later
army gas masks were used with good
results. A reserve supply Of $4,000
gallons Of water was practically ex-
hausted to provide pressure for four
limos n hose

Statistics compiled by the United
States bureau Of census tend to prove
that, although women are called the
weaker vessel" they are far ahead
of men In point of longevity. They
have been proved to be more resist
ant to diseases than men, and live
longer.
Tabulations show that out Of 1000
girls born into the world $50 live to
reach the manageable age Of Ii.
Out of 1000 boys only 700 survive
that long-an excess of so deaths
among boys. OF the boys, ESQ will
live to be 50 years old, but ESQ Of
the girls will safely pass their seven
ty-second birthday.
Nearly five boys die to every four
girls in the first month of life. Out
of 100 boys born during the present
year one-half will be dead in 1871.
Out of 1000 girls born this year one
half will be living in 1875.
Why nature so arranges matters
the bureau does not attempt to ex-
plain. Apparently, she tries to make
up for it to some extent by bringing
into the world 1043 boy babies to
every 1000 girl babies. This excess,
however, is not sufficient, as 1t Ia
shown that there Is actually q ma
jority of girls before the second year
of life Is reached.
Incidentally there has been an in

In May, 1917, steps were taken to

Six weeks later the airplane tele-

between airplanes in flight up to rs

ground up to distance Of 45 miles.
The development Of voice command

GAVE NAME TO NEW ENGLAND
Result Of Capt. Smiths Exploration
Of Shores of NORTH Virginia" In
the Year 1914.

Capt. John Smith. famous for his
romantic career, particularly the Po-
cahontas episode. Is generally asso-
ciated with Virginia, but he was also
the first to discover the beauties Of
the southwestern half of the Maine
coast and the first to draw a map OF
1t. an exchange recalls. In 1914 he ex-
plored the shores Of what was then
known as North Virginia, but which
ne called New England, name that
has stuck as have many others given
by him.
In "a Description Of New England"
printed In London in 1916, Smith
wrote II have seen at least forty sew
erall habltations on the Sea Coast and
found about % excellent good har-
bors. and more than 200 isles.
From Penobscot to Sagadahock this
Coast is all Mountainous and Isles OF
huge Rocks, but overgrown with all
sorts of good woodes for building
houses boats, barks or shippes. with
an incredible abundance of most sorts
of fish, much fowle and sundry sorts
of good fruites for mans use
The Salvages compare their store In
the Sea to the haires of their heads;
and surely there are an incredible
abundance upon this Coast.
The most Northern part was at was
the Bay of Penobscot, which Is East
and West, North and South, more than
ten leagues"
The northeastern half of the Maine
coast was nut on the map by Cham
plain. Ten years before Smiths voy-
age he had visited Nova Scotia, dis
covered and named the st. John river,
aHd cruised as far south as the mouth
tered.
