INSPIRATION FOR THE WRITING
OF "BEN-HUR."
The Greatest Play OF the Century.

Few people know that it was the
famous agnostic, Robert G. Ingersoll,
who caused the writing of the novel
"Ben-Hur," the stage version of which
has created an absolute sensation, not
only in this country, but in England
and Australia. 1t came about through
a chance meeting of the two famous
men in a railroad journey, when Chris
tianity became a subject of their talk.
General Wallace had always been a
man of strong religious inclination;
indeed, his splendid description of the
appearance of the Star of Bethlehem
to the wise men of the desert had been
written before this chance acquaint-
ance.
The arguments and claims of the
great infidel were too much for the
doughty general. His senses were
charmed with the eloquence and poet
ical presentation of the causes of ag-
Mysticism, but he was by no means
convinced of it's truth. The discussion
made him deeply reflective and led
him to make careful and exhaustive
study of the life of the Nazarine. The
result of this research and General
Wallace's answer to Ingersoll was
"Ben-Hur," work which has been
more widely read than any printed
volume save the sacred Book of Scrip
lures.
The entire public of the state OF
Washington seems to be interested in
the presentation of "Ben-Hur" at the
Spokane Theater, Spokane. The en-
gagement covers December 14th, 18th
and 10th, with special matinee on
Tuesday, December 18th. Special rates

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
Secretary Wilson sabmIts His Annual
to the President


to the President.
James Wilson, secretary of agricul-
ture. has submitted his annual report
to the president. In part he says:
Out Of their continued abundance
during the past year the farmers of
the nation have contributed food and
raw materials for manufactures to hun
dreds of millions of people in foreign
countries, besides sustaining $4,000. 900
at home.
Represented in value, the exports of
grain and grain products had about
two thirds of the Importance of cotton
in the last fiscal year, the value of the
export being more than 1921 ,000, 900.
From 100000 acres OF. wheat there
was surplus for foreign mouths
amounting to 114,119,0O0 bushels and
10000, 900 barrels of flour, amounts
that together represent 204, 000, 900
bushels of wheat.
Third in Importance are the exports
of meats and meat products, with a
grand total of $17S,000,000, to which
may be added $35,000,O00 for live ami.
mails. Quantities that are beyond the
grasp of the mind represent the ex.
ports Of meats and their products. The
pounds of beef were 3S5,000,O00; of
pork, 551 100000; of lard, 491 ,O0O, 900,
and of oleo oil, 1875, OOO 900.
The foregoing figures, it should be
borne in mind, do not stand for the to.
tai production of the farms, but for
the surplus production after the wants
of the people at home have been salts,
