A number of letters from prominent citizens and public officials have been addressed to Postmaster J. F. MacKnigh, giving endorsement to the movement, and a resolution was passed by the county commissioners in their special session held last week (Thursday! in which they say that The needs for a large surrounding country will be so palpably served by such action on the part of the National Government, and the facility and promptness of hand-lin- g the large volume of mail and par-epost sccumulat ing for the outlying points in Uintah Basin and Kinery county, will be so enhanced that immediate steps should be taken to accomplish this improvement. Housing of the district revenue office and the United States commissioners activities add to the need of such s structure and the commissioners of Carbon eounty, while willingly furnishing the quartera for such public officials point out that the best service its courthouse affords for this work is only too inadequate and inconvenient and that a federal building would solve many of the problems now causing the work of these officials to le done under great el difficulties.

That storm of Tuesday rather froze the boys out, clearing skies yesterday they are again going good. It a no little job to cut holes through the cement walks for the locating of the anchorage bolt lor the standards and another' feature that added to tlie work is that at street intersections it is necessary to add a eonsiderable blink to the paving at each of the four sidewalk corners to furnish a (dace on which to establish the lighting fixture. If vou think that the city electrician's jot ia wholly connected with stringing wires or replacing a blownout fuse, just follow this fellow Johnston uround an hour and you'll see that functionary must be about everything from a book-keeito a blacksmith. The poles are all set for the new line along he centers of the blocks lying between Main on II streets. This construction starts at the rear of the Savoy Hotel and extends up eastward past Fourth street. A similar line will be placed between Main and J streets, and all services in the blocks lining Main street will be from these two lines. The preesnt line down the eenter of Main street will be eliminated entirely, leaving the street elear. Eighth street will be treated similarly. Replacement of old fire plugs by new ones and a few relocations and aome additional installations is proceeding under the direction of J. V. Plant, the city 'a water superintendent. er NOT THISJEASON Don't Need It In Do Summer, And Can't It In Winter. Persisting in that asme assure you spirit that has lieen so much in evidence for the past eighteen months ill certain quartera the coterie of bull-er- a led by Stevie the board yard jiensioiier are claiming that paving operations fur Prices Main street will still be done this summer. That wild proposal that the state road commission will build a section of paving, by another constructed with Carbon eounty money, and that having done this the United States government will be duty bound to continue the hard roadway to an indefinite td distance in the direction of Wellington, is a chimera of the weirdest construction. A little thought ss to the procedure necessary to start road paving will convince anyone that nothing can be done on the street this year unless some kindly fairy with the money uch old hydrants as are being removed from the Main parts of town are being rqiaired for use in more remote situations. All are being standard zed the hose couplings made so that all connections over the city will lie the same w hich has not heretofore lieen the case. The pipeliue up Price Canyon is giving Plant a little anxiety nut particularly because of the condition of the acqueduct itself but because of the loosening by weather action of immense rocks which roll and Blide down over, against and on top of the line. Plant doesnt mind the use of the words so far used, but wheu aome of them go through the line thats what is worrying him. A big four-tonslid right up against one of the largest of the inverted siphons of the upper canyon part of the iripeline and stopped. Only a few inches more movement on the part of thia fellow would have eut off the citys water flow for the time being. Anxiously waiting for the eastiron pipe with which to fix up the river crossing just at the lower end of Castle Gate town, and the Armco iron pipe with which he will replace certain parta of the tile line, Plant ia anticipating a very busy siting for his department. The street department had put the street! in pretty nice ahaie previous to the storm, and find that the work ting ti got thia week. The scrapers are out again thia (Friday) afternoon and shaping up the roadways. Cleaning up the timbers from the reecnt tree cutting ia about finished. Up at City Park R. J. Ockey ia doing a little cleaning up of ditches, but most of the work here will await seasonal conditions. er to pay for the work actually held in her hand comes forward and starts the job. Just who is resiHinsible for the fizzle of the affair can hardly be located. Lord knows enough runing back and forth between Salt Lake City and Carbon county wua done last year to arrange for a rood around tlie earth. The whole matter seemed to be left in Stevies bands and he was always full of the talk that it was all fixed. There seems to have been a special fixmeaning attached to that word ed. That any position taken by anybody in which there was any question raised as to the effectiveness of the arrangements would bring down on his head the appelation of knocker is well known to The Sun, which has been the only voice to sound any warnings on the matter. No conservative citizen ean longer believe the bull that ia handed out on the question, but all are beginning to wonder what can possibly be the object behind the campaign of deception that has waged over the period aince the Price to Castle Gate road bonds were voted. ADDITION TO COAL IN STORAGE ry Thus when stocks fall to twenty mil lion tons in June, 1920, the market was highly unsettled. The production of anthracite was well maintained during the third week of March. The nine principal carriers rejiort loading 36,459 cars, from which it ia estimated that the total produe tion, including mine fuel, local sales and the output of dredges nnd wash eries, was 1,907,000 net tons. For three weeks in succession production has exceeded the 1,900,000 tons. In contrast with bituminous coal, anthracite is stored by the producers. No data has been published by the producers since November 1st, jit which time 4,500,000 gross tons were on hand, of which 44 per cent was domestic sizes. On January 1st there were 1,332,000 net tons on the Upper Lake Docks. The retail dealers on the same date bad a supply sufficient for forty-fou- r days at the rate consumers were calling fur coal in December. How much consumers themselves had in their cellars is not known, but it is believed by the trade to be less than normal. The mine reports for the week ended Mareh 11th indicated a decided improvement in running time. With hut few exceptions, improved working time was general, the largest gains being in the Pittsburg and Central Pennsylvania districts. On the average tie mines were operated 61.8 per ri.t of fulltime rapacity. The railroads experienced little difficulty in fnrnish-iu- g cars, and it is noteworthy that in a week when production was at the rate of 575,000,000 tons a year, a loss of only LI per cent was charged to transportation disability.

There were in President Horsley presidattendance the stake ires! deucy, eleven members of the high council, five alternate high rouneilors, all the presidents of the auxiliary organizations, bisluqis of the wards and many memliers from the various wards and branches in the stake. Also present was lmident Rudger Clawson, of the council of anistles. Encouraging rejiorta were given by the presidency of the stake and bishops of wards. The annual report of the stake showed that a marked increase was effected in the payment of tithes and offerings during the year 1921. The special missionaries have done good work among those not members of the church, and many of the indifferent have been enlivened. The report of the relief society shows that they are doing good work among the sick, MHr and needy. The young mens and young ladies mutuals rolls hare been very materially increased and a marked interest is being taken in the lessons and programs of these associa tiona. President Rudger Clawson addressed the conference and in his remarks said that the Latter-da- y Saints had a practical religion and that it eould be carried out in our every day life. In the economy of God it is necessary for both male and female to dwell here upon this earth, that God's purpose may be fulfilled. That the destiny of man waa not acomplished if he did not assume the ublgation of marriage, that it requires the uniting of both to make the jicrfect man and woman. There are three imiortaut epochs in the life of mankind : first to lie lairn into the world, second to be born again of the water and of the spirit, and third marriage and the realization of the importance of it with Its cares and He said that the gospel of Jeaua Christ was wbrth all even to, life itself.

MINING THROUGHOUT NATION OFF AT MIDNIGHT Revised Wage Schedules For Carbon County Workers Foe ted Are Lower Over Half Million Men Throughout Nation Will Quit Work Straggle Likely to Be Prolonged. Quiet prevails at all the loeal coal mining cainns aa thia issue of The Run ia made ready for the pnesa. New wage schedules, effective tomorrow, have been pouted in about ell of the Carbon county camps and have received little comment from the men. Theee schedules carry a reduction of wages that amount on the average to aliout SO per cent. In all the coal field of th couq- try the oierators have but one word on this point, and that it that wages must come down. Thia haa been met in most of the districts by a demand for an increase which runs uround 20 r.er cent. Just what will happen in the loeal fields, no one connected nth the coal operators krill attempt to guess. Although not at all thorn tglily unionised, the Utah mines might join the countrywide movement, but this ia not looked for. The men themselves are remarkably reticent, and nobody ean forecast what Saturday will find in the cam). Wyoming and Colorado will probably be pretty well closed down by thu strike action, and the unionized fieVs farther east will be practically out of business. In fart many of the mines have already been closed down anticipating the strike. The discussion lias imssed the tied rock stage without result. The mines are making nineteen Jet. iamb,, affecting wage scabs and working conditions, and the op irators have refused to meet these rhanges asked. Both aides seem well prepared for a long struggle and will prolmhly enter into that very thing. Just w at action if any may be 4bken by the government is nut yet apparent. Th'i fact that demand for coal ia it an extremely low ebb, roupled with the circumstance that storage stocks are reasonably well supplied, and that such mines aa will ir all likelihood keep working wiM be able to almost keep up with the rrseut demand for fuel, make for a condition that will produce a long struggle with the end in the unforeseen future. That imported coals will enter larguly into the question of keefgpg up supply ie rery donbtful, and that any revival of industry will greatly increase demand is also not to be considered. non-uni- STAGE IMTROUBLE Citizens of Dochasns Are Peeved Over Reanlte of Weather. laving out in a remote district like Duchesne seems to be wearing on the nerves, especially when the weather is bad and has put a crimp in travel by making the roads a little worse than usual, as has been the case during the winter just closing.
