as we'll, are occasioned through not
bein able 10 obtain coal by the bag.
The trouble az pears to lie, not so much
in the actual lack of coal, but in the
reluctance of the producers to put it on
the market at the price per bag fixed by
the Food Commission. They are said to
contend that while the price is regulated
by the bag, there is no control OF the
retail of the article and it pays them
better to sell it by the cent and get up to
81 a bag. If we are not mistaken the
price had been hitherto controlled at
retail, and it is probably an oversight
that this has not been continued. At
the same time the term bag" is not a
fixed quantity or measure and rather
than deprive the community of an almost
indispensable article like coal 1t is sug-
gest3d that it be sold in small bags
such as an oilmeal bag, used as a
measure. At that rate tie Food Com
missions restrictions will not be viola ed,
although they would be eyaded, and
the price thus obtained would be salts
factory to he seller. AS a matter OF fact
there has been little production OF coal
in Christiansted and even in Frederlk-
sted where most of the coal is m
ported from St. Jan and Tortola; and
if conditions here cannot be adjusted
on the basis advanced, coal will have
to be imported from other places. st.
Jan coal is today selling in St. Thomas
at S1.20 a bag.

recess of seven weeks. Opposition in
the Lloyd George ministry and discon-
tent with many of the policies ir has
pursued in the recent past, seemed to
have reached a climax, and il appeared
the stability of the Cabinet Wodld be
given its crucial test before the final
adjournment of the session next summer.
Attacks on the Govt. seemed certain to
centre about Ireland and the plans of the
Premier for the future Govt. of the Irish
people. Several former supporters of
the coalition Govt. we're among those
who were most bitter in their comments
on the Irish situation and appeared
to be united with the opposition. The
domestic situation centering about con
ditions of une mploymen and high tax
es, brought new elements to the~side
of those opposing Mr., lloyd George,
while the policies the Premier adopted
relative to trade with Russia and accept
ance of a British mandate for Mesopo-
tamia, according to some political OBJ
servers. have gone far towards disinte-
grating the appal emily overwhelming
majority held by him in the House of

George regime was not forecasted, as
it was foreseen he probably would be
able to control enough votes in the Com
mons to carry through his mipistry's

would be called upon to fight in his
vigorous manner, if he was to come un-
scathed from the struggle.

Ely Boosters Visit
TaUin Falls, Idaho

George Doyle of the Lincoln High
way garage, District Attorney Charles
A Walker, r. H. Hoffman of the
Ely Lumber and Coal Company and
w. A Leonard of the Ely Record re-
turned last Sunday from trip to
Twin Falls, Idaho. The journey was
made in Mr.. Doyles Pope-Hartford
and all of the party arrived home
enthusiastic over the enjoyment af-
forded by the visit to the Idaho city
and the results accomplished.
The object OF the trip was primari-
ly to stimulate cooperative business
relations between Ely and the points
visited and to urge the desirability
of the Sunshine highway as the prac-
tical all-winter route of automobile
traffic between this district and Twin
Falls and points farther north. The
Ely boosters for this route were IA
vorably received and encouragement
was promised by the commercial
clubs of Twin Falls. Wells and Con-
tact.
The trip disclosed the fact that the
Sunshine highway IS already carry
ing a considerable tourist traffic, and
this, to the benefit of the towns and
cities all along the line, can be
largely increased by proper logging
and advertising and some needed
road repairs.

CONNOR'S PASS ROAD

The county commissioners have

necessary by recent heavy rains do

money that has seriously interfered

suits. and they feel that they have
succeeded Last Sunday the county

has quite recently been completed

far accomplished has cost. as esti-

These conditions. linked with long

to remember this before criticisipg
