Salt Lake City, June 27.— Coal shipments in Utah during the first five months 1 1» 21 have shown a decrease as compared with those of a similar period in 1920 of of 36 .per cent according to figures compiled by the public utilities commission and announced this morning by Sec retary T. E. Banning. Mr. Banning this morning advised that unless steps are taken during the summer months by the public for the storage of coal, a coal famine may be pre cipitated tlie coining fall and win ter when the railroads will be taxed , . to the maximum In hauling agricul tum ul produce. The total number of cars of coal which were loaded from the Carbon county coal fields of Utah, during the first five months of 1920, as com pared to the first five months of 1921 shows the following figures: First five months of 1920, 42,377; first five months of 1921, 26,744; decrease of 1921 over 1920, 15,633. 1 lie utilities commission advises the public to store coal during the summer months as a precautionary measure in avoiding the possibility of a coal famine. The fall movement of grains and beets causes a heavy demand on the equipment and the roads which may assume such pro pro portions as to take all available equipment. The railroads operating in Utah are now well able to handle much more traffic than they are re ceiving and steps taken now to store coal will aid in reducing the likeli hood of the roads being taxed this tali as well as tend to stabilize the conditiions in tire unemployment sit I e( ] ,• uation by providing employment "If there is no equipment during the coming fail and a shortage should be experienced the problem of ob taining coal would not 'be a question as to price but a question as to whe tiler or not it can lie obtained," lie said. "It would appear wise to ar range to store one's supply of coal during the next three months or at !

Fire Pievention Oft Repeated Warning is Being Heeded. | ' > ear begin: „ 1 the curren Frequent rains have been a boon j the western forests this spring, , and the >fficers of the Forest Service United States Department of Agri culture. express themselves as greatly relieved at escaping a. danger which has been keeping them on the anx ious seat. The danger was that if the summer fire season came on as usual their control on the National forests would be impossible with the funds avail able before July 1, when a new fiscal The appropriation for ll >e current fiscal year was heavily 1 drawn upon in light fires last summer is I and fall, and though a deficiency ap-; . propriation was obtained from Con | gross which partly replenished the fund, the amount available this ] spring for protecting the National | forests has been less than t he aver 1 ago expenditures necessary <luringj j tb* same period ia recent years, | Bence the relief that frequent rains I have kept the forests too damp to . permit dangerous conditions to be come general. j But the Government foresters do hl,t consider that tllis is entirely due favorable weather anti timely a , rains. i lie public is 'becoming inter- | ested in forest preservation, and the oft-repeateil story of tlie destruction caused by human carelessness is be ginning to make its impression. The United States leads all nations in forest fires. Willi over 3n,0ii(i fires per year, destroying nearly $20,000, ooo worth of timber and property, tliis country lots tihe world out classed. There have only been four large fires st. far this year in tlie 147 Na tional Forests scattered throughout the country one in Minnesota, one in Florida, and the other two in Ariz ona. one of which started in .Mexico and swepS across the international boundary. This is un exceptional j Service, since the limited funds al lotted by Congress for tire lighting l'are at low ebb near the close of tlie fiscal year, and entirely insufficient j to meet emergencies. There will be plenty of fires later in the year, forestry men state, I Lightning I 1 mil brush burners a good many more.
