TIME TO GET COAL SUPPLY.

To domestic consumers OF coal in
Idaho:
Reports in this department show
that stocks of coal in this state are
very low; that prices are at low
level with prospect of sharp advances
as demands increase.
The mines are now in position to
fill orders promptly and the railroads
have ample equipment for transporta-
ton.
Very shortly the movement OF grain
fruit, vegetables, sugar beets and 9th
er commodities will begin and then
the supply of cars and other shipping
facilities will be limited.
The people of Idaho are urged to
cooperate in this matter by laying IN
their coal supply now in order that
they may not encounter car shortage
at a time when serious results might
follow.
Yours very truly,
Public Utilities Commission of idaho

THE LARGEST TELEPHONE DI
RECTORY.

ndO401I.
Telephone subscribers in Lewiston
and in the surrounding counties served
by The Pacific Telephone and Telc-
graph Company, during the past week
received the largest telephone dirsc
tory ever published covering this vi
cinity.
Six thousand copies of the new di
rectory have been printed. This is an
increase of several hundred copies
more than previous issues. About
5000 names are included. Fourteen
hundred of these are new names APP
proximately 1000 of the new names
were former Nez Perez Telephone
company subscribers.
In addition to meeting the require
ments of ordinary growth, the pur-
chase of the Nez Perez property by
the Pacific company last. winter has
made the enlarged directory neces-
sary. The exchanges of the former
Nez Perce> company were acquired at
Craigmont, Nezperce, Ferdinand, Cot
tonwood, Fem, Grangeville, Reubens,
Winchester Lapwai, Kamiah and Lew
iston.
At the time the Pacific company
began operating the above exchanges
of the old Nez Perez company in Feb
ruary temporary directories were is
sued for each of the above points.
Now the new publication will be in
the hands of every subscriber in La
tab, Idaho, Lewis and Nez Perez and
Asotin counties. 1t contains com
plete and up-to date list of names and
numbers as late as it was possible to
compile and correct them before 60
ing to press.
"When the new directory reaches
the subscribers said Manager John
son of the telephone company, "they
should Immediately destroy the old di-
rectory and refer exclusively to the
new one in placing each call.
"This is important" continued
Manager johnson. "Under ordinary
circumstances it is essential because
of the normal number of changes in
telephone listings incident to growth
and of changes of residence and bust
mess. 1t is, however, especially so in
this case because of the consolidation
of the Nez Perez and Pacific sys-
TENS.
"Unless person placing call uses
the right number and gives the right
information in doing so, he slows up
his own service and interferes with
the service of others because of the
demand made upon operators or upon
Information" in trying to complete
the connection or locate the right mum

WHEAT YIELD AND PEA Gull
TURE.

Fairfield, Wn.,Arig. 8.-The good
wheat crop of this section is due to
planting pea crops, according to o. =.
Moss, cashier of the Bank of FAIR
field. Instead of summer following
wheat land, Fairfield farmers sow II
to peas. The pea crop is largely vel
vet as it is grown entirely on land
that otherwise would be idle. AT
the same time it increases the fertil-
ity of the soil for wheat the following
year. A half dozen wheat crops
around here will average 40 bushels TO
the acre and one yield has averaged
45 bushels to the acre.
