MEEKER SIDING.

Early last Saturday morning a south
bound freight train had six cars of wheat
wrecked by the spreading of the rails at
curve one mile south of Meeker. The
cars we're a total wreck. On the follow
ing night two more cars were wrecked at
the same place by the train breaking in
two. The train had an engine in front
and one behind. The separating of the
train caused the air brakes to set on the
front part, thus crushing and deraiing
two cars.

ward OF $4,000 employees. Indications
tonight, however. point to the closing
tomorrow OF some mines in the laat
named district that operated TODAY. de-
spite the assertion OF officials of the
Philadelphia K Reading Coal companv
ana other companies operating in the
region that they will continue working
their collieries, Nearly all the efforts of
the strike leaders are being devoted tn
organizing the men in the weak Schnvl
Kill and Lehigh regions, and tonight
their organizers and orators are re-
doubling their efforts.
Practically no progress has vet heen
made in the efforts OF the clergy IN
bring about a settlement of the tr0uble
through arbitration.
Worse On Second Day,
Philadelphia, Sept 1S.-The leader of
the strike says that at the end of the
second day 11S,000 OF the f41 600 mine
workers IN the anthracite fields are idle
NO representatives of the mine operators
makes statement for their side Of the
matter, but individual mine-owners dis.
pute the strikers figures, saving th-re
are more men at work than the union
leaders Will admit. The first advance in
Che price OF coal as a result of the strike
was made by the Philadelphia 4 Read
ing Goal company today, 20 cents npr
ton being added This advance wos
promptly met by the local dealers, who
increased the price to consumers 10
cents per ton.
A cloud appears on the otherwise
peaceful horizon in the shape of a report
from Harrisburg that bitter feeling is
developing between the union and
hon'unlOn men in the Likens dis
trIct, located in the upper end Of
Dauphln county and involving about
25OO mine-workers.
A concession was voluntarily pranted
the 5000 employees of the Lehigh Coal &
Navigation company, in the region west
OF Mauch Chunk, who will hereafter work
Io hours day for a consequent in
crease in earnings. These men were nm
organized and had not presented anv
grievances
True to it's declaration made before
the strike was ordered, the Philadelphia
& keadlng company today brought it's
mules to the surface in the two mines i'm
ohamokln that had been closed by the
sCrlKe, ana announced that they will be
permanently abandoned. This action

have been working in those coIIieries to

400 or 800 employees of the West End
Coal company, at MOcanaqua, near
Wllkesbarre, in sticking to their work,
stands out pro ninently as busy
feature oil an otherwise idle territory.
They say they have no grievances, have
always received good treatment from
their employs and therefore will resist
every effort co induce them to strike.
Do Not Come Together.
Hazelton, Pa, Sept. 1S-The second
day OF the coal miners strike has failed
to bring forth anything that would lead
to the coming together of the mine
owners and the strikers. Unless there is
a break IN the ranks of either it seems
tonight that a third party will have to
step into the breach and try to bring
the two forces together.

shows that our agricultural imports
have an average annual value Of $685.
964, (OS, OF which more than half came
from tropical countries. Brazil, the
leading source OF our coffee supply, sent
us 10 per cent of our total agricultural
imports; the United Kingdom coming
next with 9.3 per cent, but the imports
from it, like those OF Germany, which
ranked fourth, were in considerable part
received by those nations from other ma
tiOns. Cuba was the third country,
sugar running her percentage up to rs
per cent of the total. Japan and China
we're fifth and sixth respectively. The
Philippines sent us II 1 per cent OF the
total. BraZiPs exports to the United
States averaged $54, 116,397 a wear.
coffee imports alone amounting to $48,-

Timothy On the Farm,

The Oakesdale Sun tells this story
about timothy patch: A good illus
tration OF the profits in diversified farm
ing this year is found near Thornton. A
farmer put in twenty-three acres of
timothy, which produced an average
yield of two tons to the acre. This he
sold at $1O,50 per ton f. o. b. The
total cost of producing the crop and
placing it on board the cars was SO per
ton, leaving net profit OF $3.50 per
ton or $15 per acre. This, it will be
seen, is far better than wheat raising at
the prices given above. But had he
waited until now he could get SIS per
ton for his hay which would give him a
net profit of $12 per ton or $24 per
acre. Mr.. Parkman says he will put in
bis entire farm to timothy the coming
year.
