The total output in the week ended February 23d is now estimated at 1.655,-00- 0 net tons, a decrease of 215,000 tuns or 13 per cent from the record of the preceding week. The operators reports for the week ended February 16th show a mixture of conditions that is difficult to interpret In several districts, notably Illinois .and Indiana, there was a softening of the market, that resulted in greater losses in operating time through lack of demand. These losses were partially offset, however, by better demand m other districts, such as Logan County, West Virginia, and the Southern Appalachian district. Significant changes in traffic conditions were few and the most important were a decrease of 9 per etnt in losses through transportation in Pocahontas, and increases of 11 ,'15 and 8 per cent, respectively, in Ilarlan county, Kentucky, the Southern Appalachian district, and Virginia. Further losses in production were occasioned by local celebrations of Lincoln's birthday as a holiday. The net result of these contrary factors was a decrease in working time sufficient to account for the decline in pioduction ae reported. Production of beehive coke declined somewhat in the week ended February 23d. The total output is estimated at 278,000 net tons, against 293.000 tons in the preceding week. The principal decrease occurred in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Production in the Cnnnellsville region decreased from 221,890 to 212,790 tons. fth BIG INCREASE UH rau I DURING SUPPLIES 1923 VkuSl Service. vis teen thin o AND CONSUMERS di Manh 3. of soft sixty.

There are no available statistics on householders stocks, but the facts relating to production and retail dealers deliveries indicate that these are P ably normal for this time of year. The tonnage produced flowed steadily to the consumers practically as fast as it could be mined, and retailers were not able to build up their reserves to normal until Retailers' receipts exceeded their deliveries during the last three months of 1923, and their reserves on the first of the year had increased sharply over these on October 1st.

Bergera, Thomson and Thomas Ferrot, official of the American Mason federation, socalled, were defendant in one of the most widely interesting rases ever tried in Utah. TJiey were indicted under a eharge of jsiag the ue to defraud in connection with eampaigni soliciting membership.

The federation at its height fl&d about ten thousand memlviy but declined rapidly toward tlx close of ita career. A temple was maintained by the order at Zion. The prosecution was baaed upon an investigation eon due tel by the post-offidepartment under E. M. Pries, inspector. The government obtained witnesses from all over iks United States and two from the giand lodge of Scotland to substantiate charges, to refute the elaim that the order was in amity with true Mnsonie bodies and to blast its pretension to be a genuine charter. United States District Attorney Charles M. Morris and Special Prosecutor John Jensen appeared fur the government, while the defense was conducted by M. E. Wilson and C. 8. Price, the latter then a resident of this city. Judge Martin J.

Justin, state statistician of the United States de;iart-meof agriculture. Production of augur licet increased from 819,000 tons in 1922 to 1,064,000 in 1923. Using $7.95 tier tun as a basis for arriving at the value, it was estimated that the crop would bring $8,459,000. A feature of the rejiort was the increase shown in truck and canning crops. Onions totaled 150,000 bushel last year as against 100,000 in 1922. The total yield of tomatoes wns 43,000 tons in 1923 as compared with 38,200 in the previous year. In 1923 Utah grew 10,900 tons of peas. The figure for 1922 was 9300. The production of navy beans increased from 400 tons in 1922 to 600 in 1923. The total acreage of truck and canning crops is given as 12,840 in 1023 and 10,940 in 1922. The value of these crops last year is estimated in the summary at $1,299,000 and the 1922 production is given at $934,000. Wages of labor showed an increase over 1922. Farm hands were paid an average of $54.0(1 a month with board and $73.70 without in 1923. In 1922 the averages were $47.00 and $64.00. Harvesters were given an average of $2.70 a day with board and $3.31 without in 1923.

The request was an oral ore, and later developments inuieated that there wss more or less uncertainty as to what was to be built and as to eaxetly where. At the sjiecial meeting held February 28th this permission was protested by a number of citizens living in the neighborhood, nights work by the parties who rent the halL This fee must be paid in when the dance room is arranged for, in advance.

Rules will be formulated by a council committee fur these occasions, and it is exjiected to make the danees more orderly and to eliminate certain features about whieh much complaint has been made of late. Keep Up the Standard. Presenting figures from the city's books, Councilman lladley showed that the electrical department brought in a gross revenue of about forty-thre-e thousand dollars in 1923. He stated that the necessities of keeping this profit producing utility up to full working efficiency and extensions to serve customers not now reached make it imperative that material for new work and changes should be bought Authorization waa voted by the council for the purchase of a carload of poles and Hadley was given free rein to buy a list of small snppliea needed up to the amount of fifteen hundred esi-- the spokesman of the objectors being L. E. Whitmore. Owing to the fact that the description of the ground as recorded in the councils minutes of the meeting did not cover the ground on whieh operations had already been started and further to the fact that the particular business of the special meeting was to consider the east side sewer proposition the matter went over until this week's meeting. The application was renewed in proper form, being protested again by the same parties. The whole ease was eon. sidered by the council in a abort executive session, after which again in open session it was voted to grant the permit. This tank station really represents the advent of a new wholesaling oil and gasoline concern into Price. It ia not unlikely that r. resort will be had to the courts to block the completion of the tank yard, on whieh rapid progress has been made. Several residences in the neighborhood are said to be murh wronged by the location of this industry at such a point It lays almost directly in front of the J. M. Whitmore home. About a year ago, when the Independent Gas and Oil company wanted to locate on ground across the railroad from this new plant pressure was brought to bear so that a removal was effected to a site south of the tracks between Eighth and Ninth streets, near the Continental Oil plant. Folks in the neighborhood affected in the present instance insist that this third station should join the other two in a district already established for that character of busi dollars. Trees to the number of a hundred and sixty will be planted at the eity cemetery maybe more. A plan to change the driveway a little and to the borput a row of trees der of the plat ia being worked out. Several little nutters are up in this connection. The Masonic order wants a little addition made to the plot set aside for their use, and also asks that another piece of ground adjoining be set aside as a parking space. The municipality owns considerable ground all around the cemetery and the desired arrangements wiU likely be made. Eight thousand dollars in bonds issued by the eity in 1913 for the elec- tric department, together wiLL two thousand put out at the Bame time for water improvements and two thousand more 011 other improvements can at this time be redeemed at the citys option.
