Week Eliding January MtchYour Step. Miss.' WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19. The production for soft coal the week ended January 10th was the largest in any week since parember, 1920. The total output, including lignite, coal coked, Bribe fuel and local sales, is now estimated at 12,555,000 net tons. W was an increase, when compared with the preceding holiday k of 1,750,000 tons, and it was within 800,000 tons of the high-outpon record obtained in the week ended October 25, 1919. urination of the individual railroad returns shows that the and most of the car-- s irovement was practically country-wid- e, contributed increased shipments. The average rate of output working day was 2,092,000 tons. The present rate of favorably with that at times when business was ac- -. es Preliminary telegraphic reports of the number of cars load-o- n the Monday and Tuesday of the present wreek January were but slightly less than on the corresponding days the week before, indicating the probability of another high kly record. Utah mines produced during the week of January 3d, 79.8 per ,t of fulltime operation. During the same period Colorado's rd was 74.1 per cent, and in Wyorjng the mines turned out 9 per cent, all three states thus joining with the country at in the increased production. For the first 329 working days of the coal year 1924-192- 5 uction totaled 359,591,000 tons. The three years of activity 1920-2918-1and 1923-2- 4 averaged 447,000,000 tons, while 1921-2- 2 and 1922-2- 3 three years of depression" 1919-2(raged 334,000,000 tons. Thus it' is seen that with but eleven iks remaining, the coal year 1924-2- 5 stands nearly 88 million behind the average of the three years of activity and about illion tons ahead of the years of depression. Compared with average of the six years, it stands about 31 million tons behind. ANTHRACITE JOINS IN RECOVERY. The production of anthracite recovered promptly after the rate. The total iday season to approximately the imated output in the week ended January 10th, is placed at 1,--V 1,000 net tons, an increase of 530,000 tons. Compared with the Bt recent week of fulltime operation that ended December ;h there was a decrease of 82,000 tons. Production during the isent coal year to date April 1st to January 10th stands at roximately 68,701,000 tons, a decrease of 2,142,000 tons from figure for the corresponding period of the coal year 1923-2The mine operators reports for the week ended January 3d re colored by the occurrence of the New Years holiday. The iday was not observed at all mines, and as indicated by the rail-i- d reports of daily loadings, counted as a little less than a third a normal working day. Following the customary policy, the rcentages for mines that shut down on the holiday wrere com-te-d on the basis of a week. This method results in a per capacity for the week with a consequent lessening of the entages showing losses. Comparison with the figures for the preceding week shows rp increases in the percentage produced, not only in the dis-t- s in which the Christmas holiday shutdown covered several s, but in districts where the celebrations were confined to just stmas Day. The arrival of severe winter weather in many Wftlons of the country appears to have brought with it an appre-jSdtbl- e increase in demand for coal in most of the producing fields, clothe Btate of Iowra, the mines that reported showed a perfect The figures for this state, however, are based on from but 14 mines with a weekly capacity of 41,000 tons, or of the total capacity.

Owing to the fart that the original work stopped some six hundred feet short of the underpass location at the west rity limits of Price, and that several hundred feet space was left out at the river crossing in Helper, it being later laid when the bridge was built, and that only late last summer wss the roadway completed on under the railway and in to Price city, no formal taking over has been done by the state road commission, which body is the real active road building agency in Utah. Coming to Irice today, Preston O. Peterson and Henry W. Hlood of the rommission, together with Howard C. Means, their engineer, met with the Carbon county commissioners and the Price City council to make final report on the doings connected with the entire paving oiierations. Money placed in the hands of the commission by the- county and eity to defray the cost of the work is accounted for, and it is found that t liere will he about eleven thousand dollars coining hack to the county and some - Its.

The improvement was confined to and general in the producing districts of the East, except Virginia, ere there wras a loss of about 2000 tons. Three hundred and ikfe n additional ovens were fired in the Connellsville region, and Reduction continued to increase, hut at a less rapid rate than in preceding week. RAIL SHIPMENTS TO NEW ENGLAND.

Estimates based on reports from roads that forward 80 cent of the tonnage handled in the week Kroximately 3d per show an increase of about 20 per cent in the rtrfnber of cars of bituminous coal forwarded and 30 in the num-o- f H Jan-MU- Py cars of anthracite.

The total handled was 336,-jnet tons, an increase of about 10 perquantity cent. Compared with the Viek ended December 13, 1924, there was a decrease of 77,986 s. The principal factors in the improvement were increases of 90 and 10,636 tons, respectively, in other coastwise Bhip-it- s and foreign bunker coal.

As the accident hapimned shortly offer 3 oclock in the morning the darkness added also to the difficulties of rescue work.

The engine passed over the rail which broke because of the weight of the heavy train nnd the cold.

Another derailed but did not overturn. Two coaches were thrown to the side of the track and down an embankment about twenty feet high. Only because of the heavy steel construction of these ears waa great loss of life avoided. Two Pullmans and a diner were also derailed hut remained on the roadbed. The train was in charge of Conductor E. C. Whitlcmore of Ogden, with REALLY OURS eleven hundred refund to the city, it seeming that the original estimates were above actual costs in such sums. Of course the turning over of the project as completed could hardly have been accomplished without the presence of Dad Santschi who was chairman of the county board during the period of the building, and to whose untiring and well directed efforts can be traced the clearing up of many difficulties which came u so he was present at the meeting today just as though there had been no elec- the ordinances covering these details, tion held last fall at alL together with a full list of the owners UNITED STATES HAS FORTY of affected property and the frontage for each.

Volunteer firemen fighting with streams from numerous hose lines, from advantageous points on the root of the new structure and aided by a breeze which blew tha flames away from them, succeeded in confining the fire to the old building. Considerable assistance was secured by ojiening up the doors to let a current of air through the new part, which writh the draft made by the flames, acted further to force tbs danger away. Word came to Price of the fire very shortly after it started, and Carl R. Mareusen, president of the board of education, and D. C. Woodward, roun-t- y . suiM'rintendeiil, proceeded at once to the aeeue, hut it was all over before they completed the twenty-eigmile drive. Conferring with Dr. A. W. Dowd, the resident member of the board, lie was given authority to make arrangements so that school could be reopened at once. It will be necessary to replace the burned building, which has given twenty yean of service, this structure itself standing on the site of n former building which was also burned. The janitor save the hlame for the fire is clearly because of faulty electric wiring. Considerable rejiair, have been made to the building just burned during the last few years, and its value was considered as but little more than half its original cost, which was something over sixty thousand dollars. Additional reiairs to the extent of several thousand dollars were in contemplation for the immediate future. Adjustments on insurance as carried are already under way, and while nothing like a sum adequate to rebuild can lie realized, it is said that satisfactory settlement is likely. Just within the next few days the members of the school board are to make a trip over to Columbia to look into the matter of.putting up a school building of jierliaps four rooms for that ramp. About a hundred and scholars are uow being twenty-fiv- e taught in tents. Last year a similar proceeding was carried out with a considerably less numlier of pupils. The trip will now be made to imiude for a look at the school site to get ideas on reconstruction. Then in addition to these it is in the air that an addition of about four rooms must be made to the new junior high building the Harding school as half day sessions for some of the scholars are already necessary. ht Sun-nysi- de Kid McCoy pleaded insanity as a defense in his murder trial.
