In- PROGRAM ANNOUNCED FOR THE TEACHERS crease Over Previous Week The Sun Special Serrice. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 22. For the first time in any week since April, the production of soft coal has passed the mark. The total production in the week ended August 13th including lignite and that coked at the mines is estimated at 9,090,000 net tons. Compared with the output in the preceding week this shows an increase of 7 per cent. Production of soft for the country as a whole during the week ended August 6th is estimated at 8,495,000 net tons. Compared with the output in the preceding week this is a decrease of 99,000 tons or 1.2 per cent. Utah's output during the week ended August 6th is estimated at 87,000 net tons. That of Colorado was 170,000, Wyoming 84,000 and New Mexico 44,000. These figures all show a reduction from that produced.in the preceding week. The total quantity of soft produced during the calendar year 1927 to August 13th (approximately a hundred and ninety working days) amounts to 327,869,-00- 0 net tons. According to a special study recently completed by the bureau of mines, 22.1 per cent of the total bituminous coal output in 1924 was produced by or affiliated with consuming interests. There were 647 mines of this class in operation during the year and the tonnage accounted for by these properties amounted to 107,039,855 net tons. Slightly more than 90 per cent of this was used by the consumer owner while the balance, 10,536,933 tons was disposed of either by local sales or in the open market in competition with commercial qoal. The total production of beehive coke during the week ended August 13th is estimated at 108,000 net tons, an increase of two thousand over that in the preceding week. The total amoflnt of beehive produced since January 1st amounts ot 5,101,000 tons as against 7,687,000 in the corresponding period of 1926,' indicating a decrease during the current year of 33.6 per cent. Beehive output in the state of Utah and Washington (combined) for the week ended Auguste 13th amounted to 3000 net tons. This is a gain of a thousand over the preceding seven days. That of Colorado and New Mexico was 4000, the same as in the week before. The production of anthracite increased sharply during the week ended August 13th. The total output is estimated at 1,607,-00- 0 net tons, greater by 236,000 tons or 17.2 per cent than that in the preceding week. This is the highest figure recorded for any week since June 18th, but is approximately 17 per cent less than the production in the corresponding week in 1926. nine-million-t- Utah s Future In Coal V By J. D. STACK. Assistant Traffic Manager, Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. . 9 Increasing in population at the rate of approximately 200,000 people per annum, California is likely to be an empire in itself before we know it. Becouse of this, coupled with the great opportunities of such cities as Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver and our neighboring state, Idaho, with her wonderful agricultural possibilities, I shall leave the question open for others to judge as to whether or not such prospects could hurt Utah. Considering the possibility of power requirements of our country increasing 50 per cent in the next ten years, would not that be helpful to our coast and intermountain country ? Research work is proving that coal fuel is as economical as oil. True, the transportation and mining costs on coal are greater than similar costs on oil. However, the improved methods of mining in the large veins of coal which Utah so fortunately possesses, would enable the mining, as well as the transportation costs, to be reduced, provided volume or tonnage was made large enough, with a reasonable degree of assurance that it would continue, so as to justify expend tares necessary to bring such abqut. Low cost of fuel invites industry. That was responsible in part for the first large era of prosperity coming to California. However, it will no doubt be but a few years until demands for oil win be so great that oil cannot be utilized for fueL It is then that Utah will come to the rescue of Colifomia and the Northwest with coal for fuel. her hundreds of billions of tons of high-grad- e Utah in this regard plays the part of a great insurance organization, insuring the bankers, manufacturers and others who have placed their money and confidence in California industry that Utah stands ready to supply coal for fuel to take the place of oil. With volume assured, Utah coal can be furnished without increasing the cost of production to the burdensome extent of retarding industries which have already been developed largely on account of the present conditions which give them low cost oil for fuel. That constructive piece of railroad legislation known as the transportation act of 1920 has already played a tremendous part in the prosperity of our country, and its influence has only just begun to manifest itself. The consolidations that will be brought about and authorized by this act will, in my opinion, mean further economies in transportation and in time will eliminate closed gateways which are at this time, to some extent at least, necessary, al though in some respects objectionable. If the people should decide with some degree of certainty that inter-coa- st water rates should be controlled in a similar manner to thit of rail rates, this would no doubt protect the inteririountain country and middle states on both raw materials and finished products moving to the coast regions and foreign countries. This would likely do away with many protective tariffs and closed gateways, both of which are a constant agitation to home and foreign commerce, and would place all nations on a fair competitive basis. Such action might accomplish considerable in promoting friendship between the nations of the world and it would certainly speed up the demand for raw materials and furnish a greater market for finished products in our country. Utah will share in any prosperity that comes to the Western Coast and the Northwest states, through any source. It. is my opinion that the greatest wave of propserity which will come to Utah if oil is not discovered in large quantities soon will be the finding of a market for our vast coal deposits, and that is likely to be realized long before most people anticipate, in that we arc just as favorably located to the West coast as are Pennsylvania and West Virginia to the East Coast and the New England states. . -- Superintendent Don C.

GREEN RIVER MELON DAY PLANS As has been the custom for several years, Melon Day" will be observed at Green River on Labor Day, Monday, September 5th. Green River citizens are planning on making this event one of the biggest ever held there. As usual there will be free watermelons and canteloupes for the visitors, and entertainment during the day and a big dance in the evening. An excursion will be run by the Denver and Rio Grande Western railway, starting from Soldier Summit at 6 oclock a. m., the same as last year, with a rate of two dollars for the round trip. Last year some five hundred people from Price and vicinity took in Melon Day, a great number going on the excursion and some in automobiles. . Price and Carbon county should turn out on that day with a big crowd and show the Green River folks the right kind of neighborly spirit by going early and staying late.

McGee and Holmes test well, four miles southwest of this rity, has reached the Salt wash formation, their big objective, and are now at a depth of 2225 feet. The first sand came at 2215 after drilling through a broken lime formation. Drilling has ceased for the time being as they are fishing out tools lost this (Friday) morning. Driller Huey denied rumors that the hole was a dry one and that they wo'uld shift the well down Farnham way, although they will move if this The sand is found layer will be iicnetratcd and thoroughly tested before a change in the location of the well is made. No showing of gas or oil has been encountered so far, but the next weeks drilling will lw intensely interesting. Price River Petroleum well in the northeast wrtion of this city, had attained a depts of 2359 feet this (Friday) morning. The formation through which they are now drilling is a pink shale, which is pretty well saturated with oil and gas. Oil is so thick in the mud that it will not mix with water. Driller Ed Walsh is very over the outlook and sees no. reason why a productive sand should not be struck. They received a shipment of easing last Monday and resumed drilling. Twenty feet is all they have been able to make since then as the lime is very sticky. Monday, LOGGING PARTY ON WAY BACK Hon. En route baek to their homes in the East after an official logging tour from coast to coast over the Pikea Peak Ocean to Ocean highway, IL D. Judson anil the members of his official party mid Grand Junction a brief visit yesterday, says the Daily Sentinel of that city. The party passed through Price on the way back East, but did not stop over. Judson, in a brief interview with a Sentinel rejnirter, stated that only h of the highway remains to lie hard surfaced and that within three years there will be a puvixl roadway practically all of the way from one coast to the other, with a wide, safe road and easy grades. Out of the 3286 miles logged from New Vork to Los Angeles, 2616 miles arc already hard surfaced, leaving only 670 still to be ;iaved. At least a hundred miles of this will'-bimproved this year. The Eastern Utah stretch of road was declared the worst encountered on the trip across the continent, and members of the party report'd that this condition is being rapidly improved, with a number of highway projects under way at this time and othen contemplated for the fall and winter months. It was stated that probably miles will le twenty to twenty-fiv- e hard surfaced in thie vicinity this season with bridges erected over a duxes or more bad washes. Two or three years more should see this toxin highway across Utah improved east to the Colorado line. Members of the official party who passed through this city wjro H. D. Judson, general manager of the highway association; IL W. Graham, publicity manager; Miss E. A. Steg.uan, director of advertising for the association, and Lewis S.
