Pacific Coal company, which IS the
largest coal mining concern in the
Rocky mountain country, received an
order for over 300 600 carloads of coal
for government use on the Pacific
coast. The first shipments to fill this
big order were made last June and
since then trainlOad after trainlOad
of coal has gone forward to the Pa
cific. Almost all of bhis coal has been
mined at Rock Springs, where the best
coal in the state is 10 be found. This
large order and the scarcity of miners
has worked hardship upon towns in
the state and many cities and towns in
adjoining states that have depended
for years upon Rock Springs for their
coal supply. The shortage of Rock
Springs coal has naturally caused in
creased operations at Cambria, Car
bon, Sheridan, GlenrOck, Hanna,
SWeebW AFTER, kemmerer, DiamOndVille
and the other big coal camps and the
mines at these places are also away
behind in their orders. The coal mer-
chants of the towns of This and the
adjoining states, and especially in
Nebraska and Kansas, are able to Sc
cure enough coal for immediate de-
mands only, and in the event of a long
spell of extremely cold weather a coal
famine and suffering will lbe expert
enced in this section.
During the past year the mines of the
state employed 4, $50 men, representing
a population Of about 20, 600 people who
depended upon coal mining for a live
lIhOOd- There was distributed among
the miners during the year over s., 500,
GOO, and the tranSpOTtati ton of the pro-
duct Of the mines to market furnished
employment to hundreds of men on the
railroads. The coal product itself was
valued at over $4.00O,000 at the mines.

COAL MINING
IN WYOMING

Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. 29.-COaI min
ing in Wyoming is and ever will be
one of the leading industries in this
state. The business has grown stead
sly since 1868, when the Union Pacific
Coal company opened mines at Rock
Springs and in that year produced
4, 925 tons OF coal, and at the present
thine the thirty or more mines have an
annual output in excess of 100000
tons.
At the present time Wyoming holds
second place as q producing state
6n the Rocky mountain states and ter
ritories and is third in Importance in
all OF the territory west of the AIiSsis-
sippi river and eleventh in the United
States During the year 1901. how
ever, a number of new mines viii be
opened up and the capacity of nearly
all Of those now in operation increased.
and it is believed that the business
during the year viii place Wyoming
6n the front rank as coal producer
west of the Mississippi river and about
sixth in Importance in the United
States.
During the past twelve months the
operators have experienced great diff
fcuIty in securing a sufficient number
of miners to man the mines, and - a
result the several companies operating
in the state are away behind in their
orders. Early in the year the Union

OF the gold output the bulk was pro-
duced by the Carrissa mine at South
Pass. The balance was from placer
mines in the state and that taken from
copper bearing ores found in the Bat
tie Lake, Grand Encampment and
other districts. The copper was pro-
Cuced almost entirely by the Ferris
IIaggauty, Rambler and other mines
at Battle Lake and Grand Encamp-
ment, while a few properties in the
Laramie and Medicine Bow noun
tains added TO the total. The iron was
PRODUCED in two districts-at Hartville
and by the mines situated near Raw
Inns. The silver was found in gold and
copper bearing ores taken from the
Beetle Lake and Grand Encampment
mines and those in the Laramie and
Medicine Bow mountains.

Orchard Blight.

We notice in the Western papers
there is much complaint of blight
among the fruit trees For several
years they have noticed it among the
pear and ounce trees, but not unit,
this year has it done much damage 10
apple trees. The sultry weather has
been just what was needed for rapid
growth of the spores, and when fire.
quent thunder showers prevail it seems
10 spread more rapidly. Every dis
eased branch contains millions OF these
germs, and insects transmit them from
one tree to another. They are most apt
to affect young and tender branches OF
rapidly growing trees. We know of no
efficient remedy excepting to cut off
and burn every affected limb. and cut
al some distance below the apparent
disease, as ii spreads downward by
means of the sap. No spray has yet
been discovered which checks its

Ii has been noticed that most OF the
battle flags of the Civil War have al
ready fallen into decay. re compare
small things with great. even the older

highly priced as trophies of aquatic
contests not more than foi ty years ago,
are dropping to pieces though made
of the heaviest and most costly silks.
Although cherished within glass eases.
beyond the reach of settling dust or
disturbing airs, the storied banners,
with their record Of conflict and glory,

capitals must have observed that En-
ropean silk seems to be exempt from

more than century old, was amazed
to see the condition Of the ragged regi.
mental colors in the Massachusetts
State House. He attributed their de-
cay to the practice Of allowing them TO
hang in folds from their STATS, which
are placed In upright cases.
The weight of the silk, coupled with
the slight movement which is unayoid-
able. causes the fibers to rub on one
another until the destruction Is com

families one often finds the ball dress

There Is the best Of reasons TO believe.
therefore, that proper diligence would

Grass for PIGS.

Notwithstanding the anatomy of the
pig would seem TO dispute the PROPOSE
ton, grass is necessary to its best de-
velopment, says Texas Farm and
Ranch. The small stomach would seem
TO indicate grain ration or concen-
trated food of some sort, and so it does.
Hogs are wanted to consume large
amount of feed, converting it into
pork. Therefore the first thing re-
quired IS 10 enlarge his capacity 10 eat,
or, in other words, TO enlarge his stom-
ach. Grass. being bulky in proportion
TO its nutritious qualities, is the very
thing and involves the only known
method of charging the stomach. AT

DEAR BOY LETTERING. 8.

My Dear Boy-Senator VIM NJ. Stew
art has said about the so-called i'm
periaIism issue just what meant to
say in this letter So | send YOU his
statement and defer any remarks of
my own till some future time. Mean
while, take this opportunity 10 an
swer your last epis.le
You say that you told Mr.. skinner
that labor had never been more ade-
quately rewarded than during McKin-
lcy's administration. and that he re-
piled THAT is not true so far as farm
ars are concerned. Before the de.
monetization of sill or sold my wool
for fifty cents pound and my wheat
for a dollar and a half bushel"
Yes, my son. your father remembers
those days l taught school in the

and his wool for forty-five cents in

which he forgot to tell you. and you
may jog his memory little.
studied algebra that winter by the
ligh; of a home made tallow dip he
cause Skinner could not afford 20 buy
oil. OIL was forty cents a gallon. Now.
in these days when the Standard Oil
Co. is crushing tho life out Of skinner
he takes his oil c.n TO the grocery and
buys a gallon twelve cents.
We used ros ed wheat and burnt
molasses Ia pls.ce Of coffee that winter
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1900-09-05

because coffee was forty-tive and fifty
cents pound Now. the Unsuitable
coffee trust makes skinner pay thirteen
cents pound for good roasted Lion,
We used holae made sorghum in
stead of sugar. Skinner bought Just
six pounds of drty-looking brown
sugar that winter and he paid a dollar
for the six pounds. Now, in these aw-
full times. when the sugar trust is
grinding the farmers under its iron
heel. skinner gets sixteen pounds Of
nice granulated sugar for dollar.
Mrs. skinner had one calico dress
which sue saved for Sundays On week
days she wore a linsey dress woven
by her own hands. Calico was twenty
two cents 4 yard and people spoke OF
its being heap al that. New, you can
get good calico at tive 10 six cents,
The SkiHners rode to town in big
farm WAGON in those days. | remem-
bee hearing skinner ask the price of a
buggy and. when he was told that Ii
was hundred and forty dollars, he
sighed and said that he could not af-
ford to buy. TWO years ago he bought
twOsnew buggies. one for himself and
Mrs. skinner and one for the girls,
Melinda and Maria. He got the two
for a hundred and ten dollars, fifty five
dollars apiece.
When i got through teaching that
school / bought me new suit of
clothes ii was ready-made suit of
rather ordinary goods and cost me TWEEN
ty-elght dollars. This summer bought
better suit from Dowd * Beckley for
twelve dollars and fifty cents.
In those days Skinner sold Il pound
Of wool for forty-hve cents. With the
money lie could buy less than three
pounds of sugar. or a little more than a
gallon Of oil. or one pound of coffee, or
two yards Of calico. This year he sold
his wool for twenty-seyen cents a
pound With the money he can buy
-four and half pounds of sugar, OF two
ard a fourth gallons of oil, or two and
fourth pounds Of coffee, or five yards
of calico.
Now it seems TO me as plain as day
light that the best measure of re-
enumeration for labor or farming prod
ucts is the amount of food or clothing
that YOU can get for them. l am best

buy the most with the wages 70. the

Judged by this standard. never were
the workingmen, and especially the
farmers. of America so prosperous as
during Mckinley's administration.
There has been plenty of work for ev-
