HOW TO DO BUSINESS
Don't do business in the dark. That applies to buyer and seller.
Folks advertise because! they are convinced they have some
thing worth selling:.
The store that does not use printers' ink may' have the goods,
but the public doesn't know it.
And it hasn't time to find out without the storekeeper meet
ing it hulf way.

RECLAIM YOUR WTE TOWN LOT LAND
(Contributed.)
The question of using idle city lands for food production is just
now engaging the attention of the people of England, us it has
already done those of Germany, nnd efforts nre being mntle tn con
serve this pbtcntinl source of wealth.
It is estimated that in the city of London alone there nre four
teen thousand ncres of idle land, capable of producing nnnunlly
five hundred dollnrs worth of foodstuffs per acre an amazing
total of seven millions of dollars yearly.
In connection with the present high coat of living this item of
news should enrry n jwtent lessoif for every towniand city in our
own country.
The subject is full of possibilities for THIS town.
Hnve you, reader, ever tried to estimate how many ncres of
Idle land there Is in this town In OUR town? Take n day off
some time and count the vacant lots that are now given over to
weeds, old tin cans nnd rubbish generally. Try to reduce this
combined area to acres. Calculate the possibilities of these acres,
and then you will see what tho people of THIS TOWN are an
nually allowing to slip through their fingers for want of a little
energy.
It is folly to protest against the high cost of living when we
are neglecting the means lying right at our doors of largely al
leviating those conditions.
Look around you and locate the men who arc loudest against
the prevailing high prices. Are they the men who hnve cultivated
good gardens and truck patches? No, Indeed I These men have
cellars well stored with potatoes; thoy have probably raised nnd
inttened a pig or two; they have fruits and vegetables canned and
preserved, and are .really LIVING AT HOME. And they don't
have nightmares near the end of the month over the grocery bill
that must be paid on the first.
' Let us have a revival of gardening interest in this town this
year. Let's every one of us who have a few square feet or yards
of soil see to It that that soil produces this summer all of which it
is capable. If we have no surplus ground of our own, then let's
) cut n vacant lot from some neighbor and turn It Into food for tho
fanillv. "
Many people in this town buy all of their groceries nnd pro
visions from the stores and from peddlers, paying out large sums
In the run of a year, while they have amnio land lying Idle from '
which they could supply a majority of their wants in this line.
ri his Is not only poor economy, but it Is rank extravagance. ,
But that is the way of the average American citizen, He buys
beans nnd raises cockleburs. lie buys' potatoes and raises dog
fennol. In short, he buys all he has to cat nnd raises hell goner-'
ally over the prices he has to pay. i
An important phase of the question lies in the splendid possi
bilities lor health afforded by tho congenial task of gardening.
Every dweller in a city or small town should, if possible, ac
quire a piece of ground to work through the summer, be it ever
so small. An hour or two of diligent work in the soil is nature's
finest tonic. It will disalpate tho worst case of grouch ; it is a per
fect liver regulator, curo8 dyspepsia, Is an excellent remedy for
rheumntism, nnd makes you feel that life is really worth living.
Let's get down to the business of conservation In earnest. A
hiiGhel of potatoes will yield as much nourishment nnd energy if
raised in one's own garden as if bought at the store. Beans and
peas, cabbages, lettuce, radishes, strawberries, etc., coming fresh
from your garden are not to be compared with the average de
jected looking nrticlu usually found in the markets.
So while wo are urging the country to reclnim the waste lands,
let us reclaim our own waste territory. It will conserve our health;
it will lighten the strain on our income; and last, but by no means
least, it will aid largely in beautifying our town.
Now what do YOU think about it?

Carbon County Miners Likely To H

Month Or More fl
The Denver and Kio Grande has found it necessary to declare
an embargo of ten or twelve days on all east bound freight ship-
ments from points west of Salt Lake and Ogden to points beyond H
I'ueblo nnd Denver. Two thousand red ball (preferred) freight
cars ure sidetracked between I'ueblo and Salt Lake City, and con- jH
signees nre calling for their goods. So speedy action Is demanded. jH
The embargo went Into effect yesterdny. H
Added Equipment In Service Over the Summit. iH
Assistnnt General Manager P. R. Rockwell is confident that 'M
under this order the entire main line will be cleared up of nil kinds M
of freight. The two big Mallet locomotives that have been opcr- H
nting over Tennessee Pass have been brought over to the Helper M
division, their places being taken in Colorado by the new Santa Fe M
type of engines just received from the Rrooks Locomotive works JH
of Dunkirk, N. Y. This ncccssion to the motivu power of the Hcl- H
per division will prove of great value. But of hte the snow has Jfl
been giving trouble on the Summit, necessitating the detailing of H
four to six locomotives for operation of the rotary plow, which re- H
uuced the available motive power for traffioneration.
Movement or Coal Will He tfldjflwby Embargo.
The westward movement of coal will be accelerated by the cm- H
bargo, as freight engines can be diverted to hauling coal trains, H
nnd switch engines can be used more freely for this class of work. M
Most Salt Lake City dealers report having coal, though not nearly . H
the amount they think they ought to have. One place outside of M
Salt Lake City has been found where there is no complaint about M
coal. That is Dcwcyville, which rcporM "plenty of coal on hand." M
Three cars wero received Wednesday morning at Idaho Palls, Ida., ' M
and n dealer there writes to Zion that on the arrival of.thc con- H
slgnmcnt between two and three hundred tenms were promptly on. M

HAL COAL COMPANY. PLANNING ' I
BIG THINGS FDR CARBON COUNTY I
OGDEN, Jan. 2a. Plans for the initial development of what is H
declared to be one of the richest coal properties in the Btnte were H
announced here today by officers 0( the Crystal Coal company, H
owners of four hundred and fortyacres of coal land in Carbon H
county. Arrangements have beciycompleted for the snle of $2G0,- H
000 dollars worth of bonds, andliLContract haj been awarded to the H
Phelps Construction company of Idaho for Installing the first min- H
Ing equipment, which will include one and a half miles of tram line H
to connect with the Utah railroad. H
The deal having to do with the sale of the bonds and awarding H
of the construction contract was consummated last night when H
stockholders of thu company held a meeting with E. L. Phelps, H
president and general manager of the Idaho company, in the office H
of William II. llceder, Jr.,'attorney for the company. Phelps rep- JH
resented Idaho capitalists desiring a coal connection in Utah, and H
his offer to purctmse 2r0,000 worth of first mortgage bonds on H
the extensive coal properties proved satisfactory to the patent H
owners. The identity of the Idaho interests purchasing the bonds H
Iuih not boon trmriii mihllc. H
Among otlier things It is stipulated that virtually all of the H
money derived from tho bond issue shall bo expended for a first- H
class mining equipment, including electrical apparatus through-
out. Although the equipment will bo more extensive than this H
figure indicntos, tho contract provides for an initial daily capacity H
of six hundred tons of coal when tho mine Is turned over to the H
tonipany by the construction firm. The contract also provides H
that the Phelps company shall start Work as soon as weather will
permit, tho mine to bo in operation by September 1st of this year.
Tho liierost8 represented by Mr. Phelps have already contract-
ed for five hundred tons daily of tho initinl output of the mine, ac-
cording to Attorney Rcedcr The owners of the coal properties
have invested approximately $75,000 In tho project during tho past
five yenrs, and will hold a large block of the stock after the prop-
city has been developed. According to the owners of the four
hundred and forty ncre tract, the property embraces five veins of S
(.oal, one of which is twelve feet thick. The coal is also said to be
of the best grade to be found In the state, and has been proven
unci or test to be of special value in case of storage,
W. I. Norton, formei chief of police in this city, is president of
the company owning the conl properties. Tho other officers are
Charles Gosling nnd Joseph Williams of Ogden, vice. presidents;
Chuiles M. Croft of Morgan, secretary Frank Pingree of Coal- '
ville, treasurer; Ben Critchlbw and D. S. Tracy of Ogden, George w
Taggnrt and George S. Helner of Morgan, directors. '
