The Payette Transcript says: "We are informed that plenty of coal will bo here in a few days or sooner, when he who hath money can possess fuel and ceaseth to use so much cuss language. Hut the poor devils unlike the nows-naper nows-naper man who hath no cash will nave to rustle hard with sack on back, during the darkest, stillie.st and coldest hours of the night." Hill generally gets things down just about right. l'ocatello Tribune: In this issue wo publish two notices signed by Superintendent Superin-tendent Ryder, forbidding anyone to pick up coal along the tracks or to buy from any but legitimate dealers, and to parents to forbid their children to pick up coal, under penalty of the law. This is all right now, when the dealers have plenty of coal to soli, but is there a justice jus-tice of the peace in Pocatello who would fine any one for picking up coal when there is not a pound in the city to be had for love or money? We don't think there is, and we don't think an officer would be justified in arresting anyone when the compauy will not haul coal for Pocatello simply because they are not bound down by an iron-clad iron-clad contract, the same as they have j With the Anaconda Smelter company, f ' who are never known to be short on coal. There is lots of coal stolen from the company in Pocatello, but no one but the company is to blame. |
