C, Jan. The house Indian committee today favorably reported the bill pasted by the senate last mouth referring to the court of claims for adjudication all existing claims of the Uintah and the White River Utes of Utah against the government. The basis for this legia-ion is set forth in the committee report, which indicates that upwards of $1,000,000 is involved, claimed by the Hi Bun Special Service. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 2. The week ended January 24th decline the country over in the production coal to a level far below the 12,000,000 tons mark. Prelim--- y cf estimates based on the number of cars shipped including foa for that coked at the mines, mine fuel and local sales Hie total output at 11,387,000 net tons, a decrease of six thousand or 5.3 per cent. Compared with red and forty-on- e 9scord of the corresponding: week a year ago, there was a de-of more than a half million tons. Incomplete telegraphic from the railroads on daily loadings show a slight increase iday, January 26th, as compared with the corresponding Igthe previous week. Tuesdays loadings fell off more sharply usual, however, and the total for the two days showed a dele of nearly 2 per cent. This indicates the possibiUty that juction has not yet reached the bottom of the present decline, (average daily rate of output has pitched downward sharply Hie high point reached two weeks ago, and now stands at tons a day. In comparison with the rate prevailing at the lC3B date of earlier years the present compares favorably. For ipeven days ending with January 17th the mines of Utah had Ut futput of 86.3 per cent of fuUtime capacity. Losses due to all were 13.7, labor shortage 0.6, mine disability 4.2 and no ;3eg E3tet 8.9 per cent During the same time the properties in Colo-- went 72.9, New Mexico 89.3 and Wyoming 67.1 per cent of time capacity. Production of soft during the first two hundred -- Ififty-on- e working days of the coal year 1924-2- 5 was 383,041,-Cji- et tons. With but nine weeks remaining the coal year 1924-C- J million tons behind the average of stands nearly eighty-fiv- e ahead of the Ihree years of acHvity and about twenty-eigh- t of depression.

All of the districts east of the Mississippi river reported smaller the exception of the New River and Western Kentucky, vtatre there were small gains. West of the Mississippi there was M gbch decline, many districts showing percepHble improvement a' percentage of time worked Slackening of demand was the tGtral explanation of the losses, although reports of transporta-Isabiiit- y were more numerous, and, in some instances losses kspugh that cause were much larger than in the week before. In six districts, however, did these through that cause exceed 4 eTcent. On the whole, the railroads appear to have handled with million tons shipped during the CV little trouble the twenty-fou- r Ct two weeks. Analyzes reports on operaHng conditions at the are submitted weekly by the producers of soft coal. These entirely voluntary and are made in writing upon forms pre-C3by the geological survey. In most districts they are and tabulated by the secretary of the local operators and the tabulations giving the record for each mine Sttpposite its name are forwarded by the secretary to Washing-O- p tie contributory pro-hef- rg out-mtwi- th ed as-ie3b- led From other districts the original reports are sent direct to Mffurvey. PRODUCTION OF ANTHRACITE LESS. 11 The report from each property is weightd in accordance ie calculated capacity for the week, and percentages are liED computed for the district as a whole. The resultant average A composite picture of what the operators in the district report-Wi- lt is subject to any inaccuracies that may have existed in the original returns, for the only part of the task that is supervised fdilBetly by the survey is the work of tabulation, computation and BCalysis. At present reports are received weekly from about two thousand six hundred properties producing approximately 54 per cenf of the total esHmated output of bituminous. Comparatively few reports are returned by the important class of consumer owned mines, and to whatever extent such mines enjoy better work-lag.tithan the commercial mines the percentages understate tM average time worked by all. ProducHon of anthracite declined slightly in the week ended January 24th. According to reports of the' nine principal carriers 33,266 cars were loaded for shipment abd from which it is estimated that the total output including niae fuel, local sales and the product of washeries and dredges rout approximately 1,740,000 net tons. Compared with the prethousand. The ceding week this was a decrease of sixty-thre- e present weekly rate of output is practically the same as that of a year ago, but it is considerably less than at the corresponding date at Indiana but never paid them. In part the report says: The law opening the Uintah reservation provided that all unallotted lands shall be restored to the public domain, providing that persons entering any of said land under the homestead law shall therefor at the rate of $1.25 per acre, and the proceed of the sale of lands so restored to the public domain shall be applied first to the reimbursement of the United States for any money advanced to said Indians to esrry into effect the foregoing provisions, and the remainder, under the direction of the interior, shall be used for the benefit of said Indians. The number of acres restored to the public domain after making allotments was about 1,249,340 acres. In 1906 the government set apart out of the unallotted wrtion of Baid reservation a forest reservation of 1,010,000 3 acres. The government classified acres of the land so created into a forest reservation as coal lands, and in its classification valued 15,011 acres at $836,631 (about $55.73 per acre), leaving 21,212 of roal, the value of which has not yet been estimated by the government. By aet of February 2, 1920, all public eoal lands were permanently withdrawn from sale. In addition to the eoal lands and othet mineral, the government reports show that there are in this timber reservation pine, sprure and fir timber of about five hundred million feet board measure. There is no estimate of what this half billion feet of timber suitable for lumber ia worth. The government having taken these lands (whirh it was, nnder the agreement and the law, required to sell for the benefit of the Indians) for a forest reservation, it is, of course, responsible to the Indians for the value of the lands so taken. , There are questions offset relating to the quantity and the value of the lands thus taken by the govern- output started in the second January. Merchant operators joined in the movement by Mowing out three hundred and four ovens. Cumulative production of beehive during 1925 to January 24th stood at 920,000 net tons. Incomplete reports from the railroads serving Eastern New zone and New England indicate a slight gain in the quanHty of coci forwarded in the week ended January 24th. The amount of bituminous across the Hudson by carriers that handled about rs of the total tonnage in the preceding week showed Ur increase of approximately 14 per cent. Anthracite shipments DfMBhe same roads were 2 per cent larger. tv':Tidewater business in soft at Hampton Roads recovered in wcweek ended January 24th to approximately the The total quanHty handled was 383,875 net tons, an of 57,414. The principal improvement was that of 64,188 to exports. Cargoes consigned to New England declined slightly to 210,413. Shipments to the other coastwise trade remained unchanged and totaled 40,209 tons. three-quarte- pre-holid- ay in-cre- DESERTER OF WIFE Sheriff Ray Demin a few days ago BACK TO FACE TROUBLES and ia lodged in jail.

BONDS FOR SCHOOL Emery eounty school district is to vote, February 11th, on a $45,000 bond issue for Mohrland. The old building constructed when that place was new camp about ten years ago, has become inadequate to suit the growing needs of the community and its struc- ; tural condition also necessitates its replacement by a new building. With two or three exceptions Mohrland was the only town in the eounty not included in the bond issue of severs years ago, when $225,000 was spen to put into effect the present building system in Emery. ; BUILDING UP ZION Marriage licenses issued from the office of County (Tlerk Smith, during the past week, were to William Patterson of Mutual and Hope E.

SMC ASIDE IRE WEST OF Further movement toward the establishment of a memorial park to (icrpetuate the memory of the soldier buys who fought in the world war was taken at the meeting of Price city council last (Thursday) evening when a committee of ladies from the Service Star Legion placed before the session a request that a definite plot be assigned for this purpose. It is proposal to take in the block to the west of the present park the property belonging already to the city and plant two hundred trees, one for each Carbon eounty member of the American forces in the big conflict and later to erect a fountain at an advantageous siot in remembe ranee of those who lost their lives in the war. Mrs, W. Walker, Mrs. George M. Miller and Mrs. H. P. MeCardle formed the committee. It ia desired that some arrangement be made whereby the sponsorship of the Service Star organization will be attached permanently to the new park, and yet it is not intended that actual ownership shall pass from the city. This ground Block 6 was at one time picked as the location for the community hospital, but that project has been moved farther north to the border of Park-dal- e addition. This was considered a good thing and The Sun published a map and outlined the desirability of lidding the ground now mentioned to be made at some time into an extension of City Park. This seems to be good way to arrive at such a conclusion. The park committee will work out the details of the project so as to arrange with the ladies for its con sumation. That Grako Lot, Again. Derision by the district court a few days ago that Joe Grako held adverse title to the little lot,, which blocks L street at a point just easterly rom Fifth, has left that matter in rather a worse muddle than it was lefore the suit was begun. There seems to be a private right of way over the ground so far as people are concerned, yet it is not a public passage. So there could be no permanent obstructions placed in it, and at the same time the municipality cannot assume jurisdiction over it. As a street it was made a part of the tig east side sewer system. About the only solution of the matter seems to to take such be for the owner the as for it might be incity price duced to pay. The transfers made in previous vesrs between promotors of adjoining additions always recognized the need of keeping this passage open, and several of these contain conditional provisions for such. Grako s possession is apparently with a full knowledge of all this. An effort wil' be made to straighten the matter out ed program over nearly a dozen rgpds is about four and a half millions with this section coming in for about a quarter of it. The long stretches of desert which must be crossed for traf-- : 'ic to reach the populated parts of the state are to be made passable as well as the actual byways among the cities themselves. 36,-22- Suig-iyam- PLOT TO drift of Petersons counsel.
