Coal Shortage is
Likely This Year
Continued from page one

and freight movement will be CON
Quoted under difficulties. And dur
ing the fall and winter months the
elements will be pitiless. The
weather never moderates just be-
cause great numbers of people are
without fuel.
Before there is any reduction in
the price of coal, there must be re-
auctions in miners wages and in
freight rates based upon the present
high operating expense of the rail-
roads, especially the high wages Of
employees. Many miners are work
ing under contracts as to prices, that
do not expire for months to come,
and they are not likely to voluntarily
release the operators from the con-
tracts. When freight rates are re-
duced it takes long time to go thru
the legal proceedings required to
make them effective. In the mean
time autumn is approaching and in
two months from now the use of coal
for heating will begin.
People who can store coal should
store it. Those who cannot should
get wood ii possible. Those who can
do neither one must expect to be the
victims of a seeal shortage that will
be the most serious we have yet ex-
perienced. We take this means of
warning the people SO they may take
such measures as they can to protect
themselves. Dealers are storing as
much coal as they can, but the first
few days of cold weather will wipe
out their stock and then they shall be
unable to get more excepting as they
take their turn and their appOrtion-
ment along with hundreds of others
dealers who will also be telegraphing
their orders to the mines at that
time. II

FAMILY QUARREL
ENDS in SHOOTING
Pocatello Families En-
gage in Gun Battle
Tuesday

POCATELLO, Idaho. Pedro Val.
dez, Mexican, "a years of age, wal
killed and J. M. Chacon is I'M critical
condition from a gunshot wound in
the abdomen as result Of quarrel
which precipitated a gun battle at
about o'clock Tuesday morning at
242 East Hayden street, following a
dance given by the Mexican residents
of Pocatello at the Mike Gates hall.
Mrs. Reecca Chacon, wife Of y. M.
Chacon, charged with the murder Of
Valdez, is being held in the county
Jail and Chacon is in local hospital.
Information secured by the police
indicates that following the dance q
number Of Mexicans, ell intoxicated,
among them Pedro Valdez, went to
the Valdez home. It is reported that
Mrs. Chac0n opened an argument
with Valdez, and he, little soberer
than she,a stated that it was not his
policy to enter into quarrels with
women, whereupon Mrs. Chac0n
drew a .38 revolver and began shoot
ing. The first shot struck Valdez
about two inches below the left
breast, the second entered the right
hand and the third his left hip.
J. M. Chacon, husband Of Mrs.
Chacon, is reported to have drawn
his revolver and opened fire on
Valdez. One Of the bullets from
Chacon's gun entered Valdez's head
and fractured the skull. The wife Of
Pedro Valdez soon mixed in the
shooting and Chacon was shot thru
the abdomen by his own wife as she
made an attempt to shoot at the wife
of Valdez.
The two families have been at
"outs'' for some time. Valdez was
employed as a machinist in the local
Oregon Short lime shops. He is
survived by wife and seven child

ECONOMY DRIVE TO
BE LAUNCHED SOON,
Nearly Every Depart
ment Will Have
Something to Sell

WASHlNGTON, II. C.-PerturDeC
by the now evident fact that taxes
for the current year of 1921 cannot
be lowered to any noticeable degree
administration leaders are launching
into an economy drive with two
definite detectives in view. One Is
the elimination OF all possible ,ex-
penditures; the other is turning into
cash billions Of dollars worth OF
surplus and unusued materials OF
every sort and description.
Practically every department and
Independent bureau in Washington
has now, or will have shortly, some
thing for sale. General Charles G..
Dawes, bugdet director, Is the
economy engineer In charge. He has
ordered Survey made Of all de-
partments and an accounting turned
~ 50 that the government may carry
out widespread liquidation.
There are millions of dollars worth
Of materials scattered from Maine
to California and from Canada to
the Gulf. Much of it represents pur-
chases made with prodigal hand
during the war hysteria, at excess
sively high prices, and must now be
turned into cash at a net loss to the
government of from rs to rs per
cent.
There is no single individual in
Washington today who has even an
approximate idea OF the extent of
these great stocks of materials, or
their value. But the checking up
process is now under way and before
many weeks General Dawes will be
able to set down some actual num-
erals and start figuring.
While the inventory is in progress
these economy and liquidation meas
ures are under way.
The administration, thru Secretary
OF the Treasury Mellon, has set its
face against the so-called soldier
bonus bill, involving AN outlay var
iously estimated at from $1,000 ,0OO,-
900 to $5,650,000,000. The United
States shipping board is preparing
to dispose Of its entire fleet of
wooden ships and it is thought that
this will be followed by sales of
other craft.
The navy department is disposing
Of nearly 20 ships of various types
which are of littlt or no value to the
service.
The size of the army is being cut
down by 10000 men.
The navy bill is being pruned ma
terially to meet the economy de-.
mand.
Postmaster General Hayes has
found that the government wastes
half million dollars annually in its
telegraph bill and will soon take
steps to bring about the consolida-
ton of the governments wire bust
ness into central office.
The Brown reorganization COM
mittee is engaged in surveying gov
ernmental department and bureaus
with the object in view of consolidat-
ing some bureaus and eliminatiRg
others entirely.
The government is giving up.
wherever possible, rented quarters
and housing its officers in govern
ment buildings.
These steps are major ones in the
economy drive. There are numerous
smaller ones being taken in every
department to cut expenses to the
bone and realize cash in hand on
things that are no longer of material
value to the government.
