Spokane, Wash., July An Associated lres diBpatch on last Sunday from Denver, Colo., brings the information that the Denver and Rio Grande Western is to build its Satina Canyon railroad or rather rebuild it at a cost of about a million dollars. I Mans eall lor a construction program extending over about five years. The braneh is to leave the San)iete Valley line at Salina. Yearly to expenditures of from seventy-fiv- e a hundrd thousand dollars are railed for. President 1yeatt says: We have outlined and adopted a r program for eonstruetion of the branch. This was originally built up the eanyon out from Salina thirty year ago. Immediately afterwards it was washed out by the breaking of a reservoir higher up, flooding the eanyon and tearing out the entire system. Last year we spent much money in getting it in shape. This summer we are spending about $75,000 and will siend from $75,000 to $100,000 every year for the next five years. The state of Utah has constructed a road up the canyon, and preempted our rirht of way in places and using our old fills. We have negotiated on this and the highway is living reconstructed where necessary. Up to the present time we )iave completed the grading'for about twelve miles in the canyon. There are two new mines up at the upper end of the canyon, which ia rich in coal and mineral resources. These are being opened no gradually, waiting for transportation. By the time the new branch is ready these will be. ' The program need not be rushed, because coal prices are down at the present time. By the time the new branch is opened up or even before the prices probably will be higher We are building all standard guage. When completed the best service possible will be atarted over it. It will be the same as that accorded main line patrons. The properties to be tapped are the Sevier Valley Coal and the holdings of the Lund estate at Salt Lake City. The latter eonsiata of about thirty-fiv- e thousand seres of immense veins.

They lie in seven different departments and iiideMndent purjsiss as the war and navy. There is inevitable overlap, duplication and lack of concentration ot purjsse. In the interest of economy, efficiency of administration and better service to the public all of the functions of the government of the character enumerated in the organic act should he at onre concentrated in three different grouiM (a) industry, (b) tradj and (c) navigation. Each should he under an assistant secretary. The problem of the secretary of commerce and his advisers in the reorganization of the burean of mines and in planning its activities is to avoid overlaps and duplications of effort, to fill existing gajH to increase efficiency with the thought beyond all use of greater service to the industries involved. As the work of the bureau of mines ia eonrerned in great measure with coal this industry is most vitally interested in the questions involved. Whether the bureau of mines is to continue to function as a purely technical and scientific bisly, as pnqMised by some nr whether the commercial, industrial research or economic problems of the industry are to he injected into this work, is of less immediate concern to the coal industry than the of the questions of the work of the various bureaus of the reorganised department of commerce having to do with eoal, oils, minerals, iron and steel, chemicals and soforth. The work of the bureau of standards of the department of commerce and of the bureau of mines heretofore with the interior have both been atrictly technical and scientific in character, except for the administrative service, studies in safety and mining experiment stations and operation of government fuel yards. semi-judici- 438,-420,0- al We will save you hours and money by welding your worn and broken machinery The Hoy Scouts and the Price Baseball Team protected themselves from loss by rain on the 4th of July.

The congress pledged assistance to miners in every way. This virtually ends the efforts toward mediation conducted by the government. Inquiry into the whole dispute is expected.

Certain lands withdrawn by the general land office in Garfield and Wayne counties have been ordered restored to public entry because the of the geological survey has classified them as according to announcement received by Eli F. Taylor, register of the Salt Like City land office, last Friday. The Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining company has purchased rights on approximately three thousand six acres of lands in the vicinity of Parsons, Kan. About two hundred thousand dollars was paid. It ia understood that the eoal to be mined will be used by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas and that the road will be indirectly interested in the mining company. Tests have revealed highgrade down about eight hundred feet. The vein is sixty-foinches thick. The soft coal industry faces a serious crisis, due to decrease in demand and the increased costa of operation. Nearly eleven and a half billion dollars are invested. There are fifteen thousand mines and seven hundred and fifty thousand miners. Few of the properties are making any money, bnt many are losing and a large number have been closed. It is estimated that the productive capacity of the mines now opened double the requirements of the country. The use of oil and Minas At Rains, Carbon County. Utah.
