Special Dispatch to The Star. ,a5.E.t-,
NEW YORK. April 23s--Coal; Age
reports the market today as follows:
Bituminous operators, who. look for
nothing in the way of business the
first month of the new coal season
will not be disappointed. Screenings
take the lead for strength in nearly
every field. Part of this strength is
due to the seasonal dullness which
has spread over the domestic market
and cut down production. But part
must be credited to basicaIly healthy
underlying industrial demand for coal
Discounting to the limit the profess
sional optimistic reports on general
business, the fact remains that there
is real ground for solid confidence.
Production Exceeds Last Year.
In spite of the steady downward
trend in production. the bituminous
coar output for the week ended April
II IL estimated at $780, 900 net tons,
as compared with 100000 tons the
preceding week. More significant,
however. is the fact that the output
was 907 900 tons ahead of the COR
responding week. in 1924 The i'm
proyement was in the non-union
fields. West Virginia and, to a lesser
extent Kentucky are speeding up to
meet lake demands.
Hampton Roads dumpings for the
week ended April Is totaied 369,746
net tons, as compared with 372,374
tons the week preceding. New Eng
land lis still the heaviest purchaser
Spot prices are depressed
Coal Age index Of spot prices on BIZ
luminous coal for April 20 stood at
161, the same figure as the preceding
week. There was no change In the
average price, which was $1.s5.
Anthracite Demand Steady.
Anthracite demand in the New Eng
land and Middle Atlantic States. al
though far from feverish. Is of a
character to inspire the major pro:
ducers with a feeling that the new
coal year will move along normal
lines. There is a general disposition
among consumers to withhold orders
for Winter stocking.

Oil Risks.


To almost every one has come OPP
portunities to speculate in oil through
the purchase of corporate shares,
leases or participations In syndicates.
in. common-law trusts, or In merger
schemes. Very often, such offerings
are misrepresented Usually they are
sheer speculations, all the risks being
taken with the stockholders money.
while the promoters, fiscal agents and
statesmen pay themselves handsomely
through stock SALES, commissions, sal
aries or Organization expenses.
The investor who desires to BUY min.
ing or oil securities should get facts
and experienced opinion as to values
of issues of established, successful OH
companies. He should keep in mind
that even the legitimate mining or oil
business is speculative and depends
for profits upon a sound combination
of properties. organization, finances
and management.

THEY ENDORSE OWENS
Northern Wisconsin News
papers Are Unanimous in
Calling for Phillips Judge.

The past week has shown that
the attitude of practically all news
papers in the northern half of the
state to be in favor of Judge Asa
K. Owens of Phillips as the coming
candidate for Governor of Wiscon-
sin. His record in the past and
right at this time, leads us to be-
lieve that he is piece of mighty
good timber to put in the pry as
a leverage in overthrowing the ma
chine at Madison at the coming
election.
His record all through is that of
a "go-getter and he don't toady
to any one man or any one clique.
AS a conservationist he is there
with all the vim he possesses and
none can change him.
1t is shown that his entry as a
prospective candidate for guber-
material honors has caused Blaine
and others to sit up and open their
eyes. At a meeting of the Associa-
ted Committee of Upper Highway
Thirteen at Park Falls last week,
the following resolution was adopted
by that organization:
Whereas, 1t is the BELIEF that one
Of the most important things for
the state of Wisconsin, is the con-
servation Of her God given beau
ties, as we'll as the encouragement
Of her farming and her industries.
Be it Resolved, that it is the
sense of this meeting that it hear
tily urge and endorse the candi-
dacy Of Judge Asa K. Owen, of
Phillips, for the republican nom
ination for Governor, as the one
outstanding man in Upper Wis
consin, best able as Governor to
outline and put into effect pro-
gram that would meet the approval
of all the interests of the state.

Anonymous Warning.

Most newspapers have a rule, the
Importance of which is generally
acknowledged, against the publica-
ton of letters, or, for that matter
of items of alleged news from
anonymous sources. Usually when
somebody wishes to make some
statement public and is unwilling
to make his own identity public at
the same time, the case requires
very careful investigation at the
very least.
Such an anonymous statement
has recently been circulated in Up
per Wisconsin. A circular sent out
from Chicago stated that a portion
Of state highway number 10 in the
vicinity of Hurley was made dam
gerous by being infested with
drunken drivers. If this were a
fact it would be perfectly legiti-
mate or even praisewrothy to make
it known but facts are that no ac-
cidents on this bit of highway
from drunken drivers have been re-
ported this season and that this
road is carefully patrolled by motor
policemen under the direction of
Iron county authorities.
The circular in question is inno-
Gently signed Tourists Associa-
tion," but there is no clue to who
or what this association is. The
circular is, in fact, practically as
anonymous as if it had no sigma
ture whatever 1t is apparent that
the charge might have been made
for various reasons, none of them
commendable. The preparation of
a few hundred such circulars
would not cost much and some in
dividual disgruntled, possibly, by
an interview with one of the pa
trolmen who keep that stretch of
road safe, might have vented his
spleen by sending them out. Or
there may have been a more signi-
ficant and better organized scheme
to keep traffic away from this sec
ton.
At any rate the affair is highly
discreditable and cannot be too
severely acknowledgements Tele-
gram.

JUST FISH STORIES

Frank Hunter of Phelps has
proved his prowess as a fishing ar
fist by the landing Of a record lake
trout from the waters of Trout
lake over in the west end of the
county Hunters lake trout, when
dressed, weighed in at 1914 pounds.
Lake trout out of that lake usually
run pretty large and the record fish
weighed nearly twenty pounds.
That was made years ago, and
many have been taken from Trout
lake of recent years close to that,
but never exceeding. When you
hook onto a land-locked salmon in
Trout you sure have fight OH your
hands. They fight somewhat diff
erent from a musky, pickerel or
bass. While the latter break water
and endeavor to throw the hook,
the lake trout simply bores down
to the bottom of the lake and
sulks; or else will slowly come to
the top and roll over and over while
endeavoring to lose the hook. They
usually wind the line around their
head and body and you sure have
time landing them.
John Wakefield of Little. st. Ger
main territory is a bully good
guide and usually permits his
guest to do all the fishing while he
finds the school Of game fins. But
once in a while John puts one over
on his friends, and the latest vic
tim is that man Yeslin who is a
musky artist and catches for the
love of the fight and doesn't care
if he never ships a fish home. He
and John played the weedbeds and
rushes on Little st. German lake
Sunday. Yeslin lost a mighty nice
Big Boy and that made Wakefield
sore, for he had brought his boat
in position for the city man to sue
cessfully land his fish. John then,
to cinch the argument bet his
friend he could land musky with
in half an hour-and he did. 1t
weighed in at almost fourteen
pounds and but goes to show just
what can be done by these old-time
guides when they want to win the
bacon. Wakefield has been a guide
on the lakes for many, many years
and is a record man in faithful ser
vice to the man he fishes with.

weighing II and more pounds while
the fish were striking. Mr.. and
Mrs. Almond Yaeger of Milwaukee
landed two weighing IA and Is
pounds; Mr.. and Mrs. Laue of Mil
waukee came along during the ex-
citement with two that tipped the
weight at IA and Is pounds. Henry
huhnert claims that there has been
more excitement among his musky
guests this past few days than at
any time previous, due undoubtedly
to the 28-pounder and everybody
getting the fever. Kathan is sure

AUTO LICENSES

We are wondering what the high
est auto number will be for the state
of Washington this coming year! The
sale of cars continues to go up ap-
parently. C. S. Knowles of the Pa
cific Power & Light company, handed
us an interesting bit of information,
to the effect that in the three de-
partments of the Kennewick branch
of his company the sum of 1915 has
been turned in for auto licenses. In
Mr.. Knowles department alone the
amount is $201. 1t might not be a
bad idea for the company to offer
a prize (outside of their own en-
ployees) to the correct guess of the
amount of money required in their
whole system in 1926 for auto Ii
censes.
