Show TEE SUN. PEIOE. PAGE SIX FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1925 FRIDAY. OTAH-EVE- RY IS NOT Moroni Huiner, vice president and general manager of the United States Fuel conijwiiy with four big nrnper-tie- s in the Carbon district, was back in Chicago a few days ago and was there interviewed by the Journal of Commerce, the Windy Citys foremost 1'inauciAl authority. He is quoted as saying that conditions which prevailed last year are to shape those for the coming twelve months or long The outlook for the coul indn-tr- v er. of Utah fur 11)25 is promisin'; ouly by way of contrast with 1924, During 1924 Utah operatsays he. ors )Nisaed through one of the most unfortunate periods in their history. Prices broke shortly after the first of the Year and dropp'd by June pruli-abl- y to the very lowest point costs considered ever reached in the Utah markets. Rooky Mountain and Pacific States suffered severely from drouth following and in consequence the Western railroads were affected and as a result output of coal mines dropped and still remains fur below nop mal. Most stringent mine laws and regulations yet to be adopted in the United States wore made effective in Utah last year. between erutiiig Competitiondistricts and neighborhood companies will probably remain very severe. Realizations are likely to be at low ebb, little or no profit is in prospect and it is possible that under the stress of competition some consolidations may taka place. The more optomistie can see an increasing output from better general business conditions. The lust year's drouth is broken, favorable conditions prevail at the metal mines and smelters, and for the past year the oil production of Southern California has been on the decline. While it is by no means prubuhle that oil production will derjiue and crude prices will ndvnncj t the point that business taken by clump rrude can he recovered, still that objective apfieors very much closer. Sharp competition will rause close management and rigid economy at Utah mines daring 1925. Labor conditions will probably remain satisfactory. - CHAMBER URGES THE BURNING OF SOFT PRODUCT ROSTOV, Mass., Feb. 14. A campaign has been launched by the Huston Chamber of Commeree to reduce household heating bills. A lunik of instructions on how to burn bituminous eoal satisfactorily has been distributed throughout Massachusetts. Retail- ers have questioned on the matter of supplying bituminous ft..r domestic use oml have agreed to give it special attention to household demand. A statement by the chamber IMiiuts out that an extra fuel hill of $15,000,000 which other districts we industrially du not have to pay will never be reduced until there is a universal attempt to use equally satisfactory fuels ut a much lower cost. The Massachusetts Commission of the Necessaries of Life advocating the use of bituminous for household fuel says: Ritmninoua coal will eventually form the basis of our future domestic fuel. iH-e- n with-whic- T Government Is Fighting. Uncle Sum will aptenl the decision recently rendered by Judge Tillmnn D. Johnson of the United States district court in a ease involving land iu Carbon county, sqys S. J. Williams, special government counsel engaged in lund cases, who was in Salt Lake City last Monday. The derision given by Judge Johnson was in favor of the Carbon County Lund company auil several individuals in a suit which the gifvernment brought to recover title to the land. His honor held that the land title had never been from the state of Utah by the government prior to the transfer to the company and that the title is now clear, that the statute of limitations hns expired on the suit which the government might have brought to recover the land was the theory of the defendant and was upheld by the j'idge in his decision. ta-.c- ABOUT THE CAMPS OF THE BIO CARBON DISTRICT Most of the properties of the Carbon district are averaging but two days at the present lime.

G H H Twas years ago Information That Should Interest the Eastern Utah Young Men. Instructions have been received by Col. T. M. Anderson, commanding the Hundred and Fourth (Frontier) division organized reserves up at Salt Lake City, to open the campaign to secure enrollments for the citizens military training ramp. The area to be covered by this army headquarters consists of five states Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Idaho and Utah. The main camp will he held at Fort Dong-laJune 12th to July 11th, next. The quota of the number to be trained has been tentatively set at seven hundred and twenty candidates until more information concerning the papronria-tio- n of funds ia received. A secondary ramp will be held at Fort 1). A. Russell, Wyo., for students in the advanced courses of field artillery and cavalry. It is expected that a hundred and forty candidates will apply for this training. In thpt greater facilities exist at this post, the war contemplates a better and more interesting instruction for this class of students by having this ramp rather than roiubining it with the curriculum at Fort Douglas. It will be held at the same time as the local camp. Colonel Anderson believes that the quotas will ho rapidly filled. Last year the young uien of the intermoun-tai- n territory displayed so much for this period of outdoor life and training that caused this section of the country to stand ahead of nil others in supporting the citizens military training camp idea. The same enthusiasm is expected this year. Thd old custom of considering applicants in the same order as their application blanks are received will prevail. This indicates that any young man who expects to attend this year should submit his formal application without delay to receive first consideration. Any further information will furnished iijKm request by headquarters Hundred and Fourth (Frontier) diCommercial building, vision, Salt Like City. tP and miles away I heard this declaration, fP But I am wiser grown today And know its refutation; I have seen how tragic is The fate of men with hearts like his.
