UNITE To AVERT
COAL SHORTAGE
j. j. MURPHY NAMED FUEL AID
MINISTRATOR FOR STATE.

Pierre, July 29-J. j. Murphy, a
member of the state railroad com
mission, was today appointed tenn
porary fuel administrator for South
Dakota to cooperate with the fed
eral authorities and fuel administra-
tors of surrounding states in secur-
ing for the northwest coal in suf-
ficient quantities for the coming
winter. The appointment was made
by Kenneth Sellers, secretary to Gov.
McMaster, in the executives absence
from the state.
Mr.. Murphy Immediately began
work on plans for a comprehensive
survey of the coal situation, which,
he stated, he regarded as already
serious, not so much in the present
as for the coming winter
IF we are to get our share of the
national coal ration" he declared
1--WE must be in a position to show
our need. To do this, we must make
the most accurate coal survey pos
sible, even more detailed than those
of wartimes.''
The first step along this line will
be by means of letters to all mayors
and chairmen of town boards in the
state. requesting their cooperation,
and asking them TO call into confer
ence all coal dealers and managers
of utilities in their localities to as
certain the consumption of coal by
the public, business and the munich
palities. They will also be asked to
determine the amount of coal receiv-
ed since April /, 1922, and to es-
innate the amount required to carry
them through until April /, 1923.
The records and data gathered by w.
G. Vickelhaupt, of Aberdeen, during
his wartime fuel administration have
been sent for, and will be used as
the basis of the present survey. 1t
will be at least week or ten days
before definite figures will be avail
able on the situation, Mr.. Murphy
said.

mines in the Black Hills in South

$6,605,167 in gold and 112,464
ounces of silver in 1921.
The quantity of boullion produced
by these mines during the first six
months of 1922, indicates, accord
ing to C. w. Henderson, of the

partment of the interior that the
production of gold and silver in
South Dakota in 1922 will be slight

Vandals Ruin
Famous Statue

Deadwood, July 29-Residents of
the Black Hills have become angered
by the antics of vandals, who have
broken through the wire screen pro-
tecting the grave of ''Wild BilP' Mic
kok, in Mt. Moriah cemetery, near
Deadwood, and are making prac-
tice of chipping off pieces of the
monument for souvenirs.
An old statute of "Wild Bill
which was carved many years ago
and erected over the grave of the
noted frontiersman, was mutilated
beyond recognition by vandals and
souvenir hunters and the present
monument seems destined to go the
same way unless means can be found
to put a stop to the operations OF
the vandals.
1t is announced that residents ot
the Black Hills stand ready to con-
tribute funds for the erection of Q
new wire fence about the monumen!
of such strength that ii will resist al
efforts of the vandals and souvenir
hunters.

Resolutions appealing to the pres

event the resolution is ignored or

The resolution of the distiIlers said
the exercise of arbitrary discretion
has led in the past few months to
scandalous exhibitions of corruption
by public officers employed under
the federal prohibition commissioner
and the distillers are convinced that
prohibition may be accomplished
only by the scrupulous adherence to
the provisions of constitution and
statute law.
