National Fuel Administrator Thinks
Work Of Commission Will Result in
Increased Price Of Coal to Con.
sumers Of the Country

Washington. Dec. 12.-The resigna
ton of DR.. Harry Garfield, fuel ad
ministrator. is in the hands Of PreSi
dent Wilson. given because he diSa
grecs on the principle OF the coal
strike settlement proposal arranged by
the government and the mine workers
union.
pr. Garfield himself refused last
night to confirm. deny or discuss the
report but at the White House it was
held that a personal letter from him
had been transmitted to the president
yesterday afternoon
Men close to the fuel administrators
understand that he believes the work
of the commission authorized under
the settlement. IL be made up of one
con, mine operator. Il coal miner and
a third person named To represent the
public, will result in an increase in the
price Of coal tn the consuming pub
lie. Dr.. Garfield has been unal-
terribly opposed IL this form of settle
ment. Ii has been learned on good
authority that he took no part in the
NEGOTIATIONS with the mine workers
union chiefs during the last week and
that though informed and consulted,
on their invitation, the terms as finally
accented contravene his conception OF
the main principle involved.
1t WAS recalled in connection with
the resignation that in suggesting a
IA per cent wage increase as fair
for the miners and possible to be
paid from present profits of mine own
ers, Or. Garfield suggested commits
sion representative of the industry to
review findings. but expressed the con-
viction that such body should not
have powers to fix prices. His belief
is said to be that with this power
granted. a combination Of the employer
and employee in the industry to mulct
the public by price raises is certain TO
result.

Here appeared an obstacle we had not calculated upon Nelson ventured out on it and his feet sank in several inches. I did not like the wave of the crust. It resembled thin ice under a weight. Presently I ven- tured to take few steps, and did not sink in so deeply or make such depres- sion in the crust as Nelson. We returned to the solid edge and deliberated. Mel son said that by stepping quickly we could cross without any great risk, though it appeared reasonable that by standing still a person would sink into the substance.
 Well, Nelson, you go ahead,'' I said with an attempt at lightness. You weigh 190. If you go through I'll turn backr
 Nelson started with a laugh. The man courted peril. The bright face of dan danger must have been beautiful and alluring to him. I started after him, caught up with him. and stayed beside him. I could not have walked behind him over that strip of treacherous sink hole. If I could have done so the whole adventure would have been meaningless to me. Nevertheless, I was frightened. felt the prickle of my skin, the stiffen- ing of my hair, as well as the cold tin gling thrills through my veins. We crossed it in safety.

On the Floor of Death Valley

Rather overpowerng, indeed, it was to sit on the floor of Death Valley miles from the slopes that appeared so far away. It was flat salty, alkali, or boraS ground crusted and cracked. The glare hurt my eyes. I felt moist, hot, op- pressed, in spite of rather stiff wind. A dry odor pervaded the air. slightly like salty dust. Thin dust whirled on the bare flats. A valley-wide mirage shone clear as a mirror along the desert floor to the west, strange, deceiving. a thing both unreal and beautiful. The Panamnts lowered a wrinkled. red. grsly mass. broken by rough canyons, with long declines of talus like brown glaciers Scanned and scared! Indestruc- tible by past ages, yet surely wearing to ruin! From this point I could not see the snow on the peaks. The whole noun tain range seemed an immense red bar rier of beetling rock. The Funeral Range was farther away and therefore more impressive. Its effect was stupendous. League of brown, chocolate slopes. scared by slashes of yellow and cream, and shadowed black by sailing clouds led up to the magnificently peaked ant jutted summts.
 Splendid as this was and reluctant as felt to leave, I soon joined Nelson and we proceeded onward. At last we reached the white, winding path that had re- sembled frozen river. and which from afar had looked so ghastly and stark. We found it to be perfectly smooth stratum of salt glistening as if pow

The Toll of Death Valley

Writing of his trip through Death Val lev in Harpers Magazine, Zane Grey. the novelist, tells of his talk with a rancher on the edge of the valley an0 of the tales told of the men who, led on bv hope of treasure. had come to their death in this desolate region.
 .sBeyond our camp stood green and pink thickets of tamarack, and some dark, velvety-green alfalfa fields, made possl- ble by the spreading of Furnace creeK over the valley slope. man lived there. and raised this alfalfa for mules of the borax miners. He lived there alone and his was indeed lonely, won derful, and terrible life. At this season a few Shoshone Indians were camped near. helping him in his labors. This lone rancher's name was Denton, and he turned out to be broger of Denton, hunter and guide, whom I had met m Lower California.
 Like all desert men used to silence, Denton talked with difficulty. but the content of his speech made up for us brevity. He told us about the wanderers and prospectors he had rescued from death by starvation and thirst; about the terrific monday heat of summer. and the incredible and horrible midnight fur mace gales that swept down the valley. With the mercury at 125 degrees at mid night, below the level of the sea, when these furnace blasts bore down upon him. he was barely able to live. No man could spend many summers there. AS for white women-Death Valley was fa- tai to them. The Indians spent the sum mers up on the mountains. Denton saiu heat affected men differently. Those who were meat-eaters or alcohol-drinkers could not survive. Perfect heart ana lungs were necessary to stand the heat and density of atmosphere below sea- level. He told of a man who had visited his cabin and had left early in the day vigorous and strong. few hours later he was found near the oasis, unable to walk. crawling on his hands and knees, dragging a full canteen of water. He never knew what was the matter with him. It might have been heat, for tho thermometer registered 135, and 1t might have been poison gas. Another man young of powerful build, lost seventy pounds weight in less than two days, and was nearly dead when found The heat of Death Valley quickly dried up blood, tissue. bone. Denton told of pros- pector who started out at dawn strong and rational, to return at sunset so crazy that he had to be tied to kep him ont Of the water To have drunk his m then would have killed him. He had to be fed water by the spoonful. Another wanderer came staggering into the oasis, blind. with horrible face and a black, swollen tongue protruding. He could not make sound. He had to be roped as if he were a mad steer"
