OMAHA, Xeb Dec. 18.-H is now piwtlble to we ilia efforts of ti elTorta uih-Ui by the northwestern railroads to prevent another fuel wiroity. All dur ing the summer snd full tbe transcon tinental railroad lmve been carrying ifml totliewot. There it baa been stored in enormous ijiuiiiltlc, in the bops that Mum a coal (amino will be averted. Though there are rWi dooite of coal in western tates, It was almost impose Iblu to get minors to woifc them until tlm cloning of metal miners sent the men into tlie wl rcjrltms. The Union I'acific and ita allied lines, last Sprintf, begun to make preparations til an c-j pjiuwK u;mi o3uoti out 401 evi table. Hiindrera of thousands of tons have been stored at Omaha, Conn- ctt ItlulTs. firnnd Wand, North Platte, on the Union1 Pacific and at many points on the Oregon Short Line, Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company and Soul horn' Pacific lines. Tliere liaa been a heavy movement of commercial coal from Utah anil Illinois under tlie low emergency rates offered by these lines. The use of oil as fuel, began on a small scale, twill eventually alleviate the sit uation consuk'rsuly. In May circular were sent to all liar rlnian line freight agonts, urging them to impresa upon their several localities the necessity of laying up a large sup ply during tlie summer, or "off" months. The company offered to store, at Its own expense, all the ooal the mine could itpare in order to permit as large a quantity as possible to be devoted to commercial purposes during the fall and Inter. A detailed1 record hsa been kept of the roulte of these effort so that the responsibility for another fuel scar city can be placed. )At tlie same tune, the liurnman roaus have been making great efforts to open up new coal territories, by building branch line and spurs to mines, lee miles north ' of Kern merer, in Wyoming, are to be opened two minoa which are expected to produce 3,000 tons of ooal a day. Another territory to which will be built a branch ifrom the Union Tad fio main line, is north of Rock Springs, Wyoming. All the new properties will be developed by independent interests not connected with the railroad. All along the lfarriman lines there will be a consistent effort to help deve lop (coal mining, for it is realized that the promotion of this industry is vital to the prosperity of tlie entire west. As has already been announced, the rail road companies will retire tfrom Che commercial coal business. a kitten caused last night the death of i four years old Froneioo Clicssa, The child waa left alone with the kitten in the bouse and when her pot escaped from her arms, the little girl chased It bout the kitchen utove.
