Washington's Grain Report.

Tacoma, Wash.-State Grain In
spector Arrasmith, who has just re.
turned from the eastern Washington
wheat district, says he has never
known the conditions better at this
time of the year for large yield of
wheat than now. Unless some unto
ward condition arises a record break
ing yield OF wheat will be produced
this coming season. Excessive rains
fell in November, which gave the wheat
all the moisture desired at that time
of the year.
Following these rains a blanket OF
snow covered the ground, effectually
protecting the grain from freezing.
The recent heavy rains, which have
produced some disastrous floods in
western Washington, were general in
eastern Washington. The snow dis
appeared like magic before these rains
and the warm winds accompanying
them and the ground is now as soak
ing full Of water as it can hold. No
freezing is apprehended to injure the
wheat The acreage of fall sown
wheat is below the area Of last season,
but the acreage of spring sown wheat
will pass all former records.

PRESIDENT MITCHELL URGES
MINERS TO WORK HARDER.
Has Issued Letters to the Local I'm

Must Be Had to Save Lives and
Property-Efforts to Continue Until
Weather Moderates.

Philadelphia, Jan. 14.-President
Mitchell of the United Mineworkers
of America has issued the following
circular letter to all local unions in
the anthracite district:
Philadelphia, Jan. 14.-To the Of
ficers and Members of the Local I'm
ions Of the u. NJ. w. of A., in the An
thracite Region-Gentlemen: You are
no doubt aware that a serious coal
famine exists in all the eastern and
seaboard cities during the present
shortage of anthracite coal supply
The situation has reached an acute
stage and has resulted in great suf-
fering and hardship to the poor of the
cities, whose earnings are insufficient
to enable them to pay the excessive
prices now being charged for fuel and
it is subjecting the general public to
great inconvenience.
ITO relieve the situation and allie
yiate as far as possible the suffering
now being endured is the duty of every
COAL With this end in view we are
prompted to request that you cooper
ate with the management of the mines
in an effort to increase the produc-
ton of coal. The gravity of the sit
uatiOn is such as to require that ev-
cry mineworker shall exert himself
and use every means at his command
TO this end
Upon reading this communication
in the columns of the daily papers To-
cal unions should hold meetings and
devise means whereby the daily out
put of the mines may be increased.
The efforts should be continued until
the weather moderates and the great
necessity for fuel shall have passed.

president Of the U. M. w. OF A.

A strike of considerable significance
was made on the Humming Bird at

Washington is credited with about
$500, 600 in gold and silver produced
