The loss OF this estimabie couple is
viewed with regret by Caldwell citizens
generally. Both have been active and
unselfish workers for the betterment
and advancement of the city. Mrs.
Scatterday was a leading figure in the
activities of the Forward club. 1t was
largely through the untiring efforts
OF this organization that the city Sc

GOAL SHORTAGE
LATEST SHADOW
One Car Thursday Quickly Cob.
bIed Up---Cpen New
Fields

One car of coal arrived in Caldwell
Thursday morning, was not comman
deered by the railroad and. was un-
loaded directly into waiting wagons.
No demurraGe was paid on that car
Four or five waiting empty vehicles
were lined up all day waiting their
turn to get at the coveted black dia
monds.
Thirty years ago, Caldwell enjoyed
a coal famine. Robbery of the rail
road bins was openly sanctioned by
such honorable publications as The
Tribune until the shortage became so
acute that even the Union Pacific had
none to borrow"
This year the situation is by no
means SO acute but the fact remains
that there are many people in Caldwell
who would be only too gladto obtain
some coal at any price on any terms.
In general, people have pretty well
supplied their own winter needs and
are sitting back watching the general
scramble. Others, not able to buy in
large quantities or disregarding the
persistent appeals from all quarters to
purchase coal early. are already be-
ginning to feel the shortage. Cold
disagreeable weather this week has
added materially to the need.
Urge Conservation.
With the future extremely dark. il
behooves people whose present supply
is short, to conserve what thew have
is the warning given by local dealers.
The governor of Wyomin~ frcm
which state much of the coal comes
into Idaho. has, taken steps to have
the railroad administration discrimin-
ate against fdahoconsume in favor
OF wyoming people until the demands
OF the latter are amply provided for.
On the other hand, it seems certain
that the Oregon Short Line will con
struct spur line trake into the briggs
country where enormous supplies of
coal have already been blocked out
and await only shippinf facilities to
become available for this section
Approval of this project was granted
a year ago by the u. s. Railroad ad-
ministration and work actuaII-- begun.
Last summer it was halted because
there seemed no demand for the coal.
Funds Are Available.
Authorization for rapid construction
of the remaining portions of this track
have been obtained by Governor D. w.
Davis and the matter has been placed
in the hands of the O. S. L. officials.
together with the federal administra-
tions recommendation that it begiven
prompt attention. Funds for the work
are. understood to be available and
nothing would seem to stand in the
wav of immediate construction.
Completion of this line would open
up probably the largest single coal
field in Idaho. While the output
would by no means suffice for this sec
ton of Idaho. If would materially aid
thourgh providing souceof supply of
good quality coal fairly near home.

Willy MASQUERADING HOBO
HAS TALE OF DISTRESS
TO TEARS.

Masquerading in mems clothing
seems to be popular diversion for tho
fair sex since the. days of the war.
Wednesday. after the early morning
train passed into the east, William
March, night Waterman. found a girl
attired in masculine clothing, alone,
penniless, near the railroad station.
1t developed that she and a, male
companion had been discarded by
train officials from the fast passenger
as excess baggage. Some time in the
Interim and before Mr.. March found
her. the man had disappeared.
The girl told fairly coherent story
of vissitudes and trials that had led
to the predicament of being stranded
friendless and without a nickle far
frcm her home. She had come west
from her home in American Falls to
get work and had gone as far as
Huntington. At the railroad town
she had found nothing to do and had
sent her clothes to her home. with the
intention OF beating her way back.
More Hard Luck.
subsequently, she was offered work
and had no clothes. In desperation.
she said, she had boarded the fast pas
senger and had been headed to Amcri-
can Falls when she was stopped here.
Mr.. March was unable to obtain a
room for her at any of the local hotels.
He did arrange for quarters at the
passenger station for the remainder OF
the night and gave the girl sufficient
money to buy her breakfast. He sent
her to S. Ben Dunlap with the assur-
ance that she would be likely to obtain
means there to return to her home.
She accepted the proffered aid
thankfully and proceeded to give every
one the slip by failing to show up at
the probate court for funds to defray
expenses to American Falls. At a
late hour Thursday afternoon, nothing
further had been heard from her. She
is presumed to have joined her COM
panion. who remained in the back
ground during the day and to have
continued her ,tempestuous way by the
