Protracted ami Alarming Shortage
of Cars Is Imminent Throughout the
Enduing Tall ami Winter Interest
ing .Situation Revealed Vuder the
Cuptlim "Without a Truck."
From the recent report made by a
Joint committee of the Boise city
council and the board of, trade of
that place Is taken the following In
teresting addition to the almost un
ending discussion of the fuel prob
lem: There is some anxiety among a
great many people as to what the ef
fect of the new scale, and new hours
of time, will be upon the present sup
ply of coal, but we ourselves, taking
everything Into consideration, believe
that the eight hour day scale as to
time and the new Bcale as to pay will
not diminish the present output of
coal. In fact, we, ourselves, and a
great many other people that we have
visited and talked to, believe it s
likely to Improve conditions in place
of making them any worse, and when
this new scale la once fully estab
lished, which will likely be In the next
few weeks, we have reason to believe
that the output of coal may be In
creased 10 per cent.
In this question of coal supply and
demand, there Is another large fac
tor entering Into the same, and that
Is transportation. The transporta
tion Is furnished exclusively to this
country by the Oregon Short Line and
the Union Pacific railroads. Both
companies claim to be Independent
of one another, but work harmonious
ly so fur as traffic arrangements are
concerned, and we believe that the
transportation question Is as much ln-
terwoven with the coal proposition as
if It were a part and parcel thereof.
While It is true that the railroads do
not mine tho coal, nor do the rail
roads own any of the coal mines, so
far as we know, and while the rail
roads claim to be simply a common
carrier for the coal mines, as for all
other commodities, we are led to be
lieve that the Oregon Short Line Rail
way company exercises a moral ill'
fluence over these mines that Is para
mount, above all others.
The best way to illustrate this
question Is that, with the present
short supply of coal that Is being
mined In Kemmerer, ami In Dlamond-
vllle, the railway company has made
a demand upon these two mines for
2000 tons of coal a week pr railroad
purposes, and wnile, in our opinion
they pay less than commercial cus
tomers, and the commercial supply of
coal is already short, still, the mines
do not refuse the railroad's demand,
and the week of our Investigation
tehse mines famished the railway
company, each one, nearly 1000 tons
of coal, or 2000 tons a week from
these mines out of the market for
domestic supply and diverting It to
railroad use. This coal, the railroad
company claims, is used for their conl
bins and their engines, on the hill
hat exists near Kemmerer, "Wyo., and
close to these mines.
We did not Investigate this partic
ular question, but simply took the
railroad company's version' of it, but
we do know that If the railway com
pany had not taken this 2000 tons of
coal a week and are likely to take
this 2000 tons of coal a week still
further, that there would have been a
much better supply of coal for private
consumption than there Is.
We also learned (hat last year dur
ing the months of September and Oc
tober, during the sugar beet season,
these very same mines thnt produced
then an adequate supply of coal were
only able to run three-fifths of the
time on account of a shortage of cars,
and in that length of time that they
were lying Idle, waiting for cars, they
could have produced In the various
mines, nearly 75.000 tons of coal,
which, If properly distributed for do
mestic purposes, would have relieved
all the want and suffering that was
occasioned last year. And we be
lieve, ourselves, that unless extraor
dinary measures are taken, and the
railway companies use all the energy
and force at their command, thero
will be an additional shortage of cars
in 1907, and the coal supply still leg
sened because of having no means of
transporting the same. In other
wordB, the country has grown, but as
far as we can see, neither the faclll
ties for mining, nor the facilities for
transportation has kept pace anything
near to tnis growth.
Coal can be shipped from the mines
to the various districts In which It Is
Is used in steel cars, In box cars, In
fact In most any kind of a car. Of
course, large steel cars are preferred
on account of being more easily
loaded, and while some of the mines
do not use box cars for shipping coal.
It Is,. according to our observations, as
much the fault of not having adequate
machinery to load box cars, or else
on the part of the railroad company,
as when there Is a shortage of large
steel cars at somo mines, there is a
supply of box cars, ,whlch cannot be
loaded readily on account of riot hav
ing the necessary machinery for load
ing box cars.
We also noticed that, with all this
demand for coal, and this great In
crease of population, there have not
been any new mines opened up In the
Wyoming conl fields, and while we
admit that there Is now under con
templation the opening of come other
good mines by the Kemmerer and
Quealy people, they are not yet pro
ducing coal for want of proper rail
road facilities which ought to have
been furnished a year ago, and which,
In our opinion, will not be rendy for
operation In 1907.
On the Union Pacific railroad, one
mile from Rock Springs, Wyo., thero
exists a mine called tho Wyoming
Coal & Coke company, which now
produces 300 tons of coal a day,
which has to be hauled by wagons
about a mile to the railroad. There
Is graded from the main line of that
road, to said mine, a "Y" ready Jo
put on ties and rails, and the whole
distance from thlsi road, both tracks
on the "Y" would be about a mile and
a half, and still there is not a tie
nor a rail visible to supply that de
mand, nor to facilitate the output of
this coal and put It upon the market
to relieve distress. We have heard
it said that the road would be put
through and very shortly, but we
have also learned that this same thing
was sntd one or two years ago, and
the track Is as far off as ever.,
There will be no adequate 'supply
of coal produced In this section of
country until the mine owners are
encouraged by the transportation
companies and the transportation
companies wake up to tho fact that
they are common carriers and com
mon servants of the people who
created them and through whose ter
ritory they run, that their business is
to facilitate, help, encourage and
promote every industry and enter
prise and make living better end
cheaper, that the common weal Is as
much their duty as to pay dividends;
not until then will we have coal suf
ficient for the wants of the people,
and to which we are entitled.

Sacramento, Cal., Aug. 21. E. H.
Harrlman, railway magnate and many
times millionaire, will attend the Na
tional Irrigation congress which will
be held at Sacramento, September
2-7 next Mr. Harrlman Is now in
California on a combined business
find pleasure tour and has responded
to an Invitation to-attend the lrrlga
tlon congress extended to him by the
management at Sacramento. The In
vitutlon Included a request to address
the congress on the subject of the
railway as a factor in the develop
ment of natural resources. In his
reply, Mr. Harrlman states that If
he Is able to remain In California long
enough he will attend the congress
and participate In the proceedings.
but says he doffs not wish to prepare
a set speech.
Mr. Harrlman Is the head of the
greatest systems of railways combin
ed under one management In the
world. His roads traverse nearly all
of the 17 western states which are
the direct beneficiaries of the na
tlonal reclamation act. Country
nulldlng, tho development of the ter
rltory reached by his lines, Is part
of the settled policy of Mr. Harrl'
man's administration. In conse
quence of this fact, he, perhaps, has
a greater Interest in the National Ir
rigation congress and its object than
any other man In the United States.
Mr. Harrlman's participation in the
Irrigation congress will give to It an
added significance. It is not often
that men at the head of the very
largest commercial and transporta
tion enterprises take the time to at
tend conventions of this or nny other
kind. The National Irrigation ' con
gress Is going to bring together more
men representing the great enterprises
tnan any other prevlpus similar con
ventlon held In this country.
