Asked II the producer shipped any

Adapted TO Agriculture.
These valleys and hillsides are richly
adapted to agriculture and ordinary skill
and experience suffice TO make them
Yield a maintenance to the laborer. The
variety of the productions is only exceed
ed by the fecundity of the soil.
Stock raising here can be made exceed
ingly productive, for the fact has been
lately established by Mr.. Brown that the
clovers and some valuable grass thrive
wonderfully well. All parts Of st. Clair
county are well watered ana here at
Ragland is the bold and clear Trout
creek, which never runs dry nor becomes
stagnant
Coal mining In a primitive way began
at Ragland fifty years ago, and a little
tram road, with cars drawn by mules,
ran from this point two miles to the
Coosa river where the boats received the
product This coal, however, was from
the surface, and of course not so rich in
quality as that which Is today sent out to
the markets.
The Ragland Coal company is shipping
its famous blacksmith coal to many
states, and as far west as California finds
a market Like carrying Goals to new
Castle" even the blacksmiths of Birming-
ham are purchasers and users Of the
Ragland coal.
Sand Is of Rare Value.
Not only does coal and land soil and
climate make rich this favored spot, but
on Trout creek within the corporate linn
It's of Ragland bed of sand has been
found which Is of rare value An analysis
by Dr. Eugene Smith shows this sand to
be similar in quality to variety imported
from France, which sells in this country
as high as $500 per Darrell. 1t is mould
ing sand, is of the very finest texture free
from grit, gravel, dirt or slate, and Is
used by artists In casting bronze statues.
Much may come from this valuable de-
post, as Mr.. Brown Is in correspondence
now with eastern people who are much
interested in the subject.
The fact that the great Seaboard Air
Line railroad has just been completed to
Ragland vending its way toward Bir
mingham, and that the line is to be COM
pleted within a few months makes pos
sibe an early future for this favored
town, and Ragland must now attract the
attention or home-seekers and investors.
When the Coosa river receives the appro-
priations by the federal government. to
which 1t is so justly entitled, Ragland will
be one of the chief benefciaries, and
the early investor here will be tenfold re-
paid for his energy and foresight.

OF this coal Dr. Eugene A smith, state

RY FRANK V. EVANS.

Ragland. June 6.-(Special)-It cannot
too often be written that the mineral re-
sources of Alabama are prodIgious and
of incalculable value. and that the beds
of iron ore and fields of coal are literally
inexhaustible. Some years ago Mr.. J. l..
Init, kilen commissioner of Industrial
resources of TINS state, reported to the
governor that the area of coal lands in
Alabama was $500 square miles, or more
than one-tenth of the entire area of the
state; that his observation lead him to
believe that there Is an aggregate of 49,
100000 of tons to every square mile; and
that If the state were to attain to a min
ing capacity equal to that of Pennsyl-
vania 1t would require 1000 years to ex-
haust the supply If this be true then
coal deposits are as yet almost untouch-
ed by the miner and to a great extent un-
explored by the geologist.
Professor Tuorney tells us that 1t was
the natural commissions which have
adapted this great states surface to
mans wants. Wrote he Had the un-
derlying rocks remained in their original
horizontal position, the whole country be-
tween the Coosa and the Tombigbee
would have been one monotonous sand
stone plain. The coal would have been
completely hidden and no one could have
even conjectured the existence of beds
of iron ore below the surface. But the
simple pushing up of the silurian rocks
has revealed all these, while 1t has inter-
sected the region with valleys of great
fertility"
Your correspondent finds himself In the
very midst of the Coosa coal fields at
this writing and is personally witnessing
the work of developing the natural wealth
of this particular basin.
Here located are the mines of the Rag
land Coal company employing about 12o
men, and turning out daily about 800
tons of coal, superior in quality and
regular in thickness, varying In places
from 30 to SO inches of solid coal, no
partings or seams of slate. This coal en-
Joys a fine reputation, and its merit is

Veterinary Surgeon Wanted for Giving
Liquor to Citizens Girl.
Ritzville, Wash, April 27.-Dr. d. j.
Murray, veterinary surgeon, who has
travelled through this part Of the state
for number of years, was apprehended
here yesterday on the charge of having
given liquor to the Is year old daughter
OF the Athena (Oregon) postmaster. He
was followed during the past few days
by Jack Craig, a brother-in-law Of the
young girl, who caught up with him
here, when he had him arrested,
He was turned over by Sheriff Shorno
TO Craig, and while in his charge made
his escape about o'clock this afternoon
when everybody was aware that he was
in custody. When he made his break
away he was in the office of Zent, Lowell
h Linn, attorneys, where he went under
the pretext of engaging counsel, His
captor stood guard at the foot Of the
stairs, the office OF the law firm being
over the bank. Murray left the build
ing by the rear stairs instead of the front
stairs, and it was half hour or more
afterward that his disappearance was
known. The existence of the rear
stairs to the building was unknown to
Craig,
Dr. Murray has been in town for three
or four days and gave intimation several
times of some trouble, He said that he
expected to leave for Japan before the
end Of the week. DR.. Murray is q
heavily built man and very well known
throughout this part Of the country, and
it is doubtful il he can make his escape.
When last seen he was leaving town
down the railroad track headed towards
Pataha.

STAMP OUT NANCE.
UMATILLA STOCK MUST BE DIP
PED SAYS CHRISTIE.
Cost of Dipping 80 cents per Head
Finds 1900 Head of Affected
Horses and Cattle at Echo.

Pendleton, April 26.--Deputy State
Veterinarian John Christie is on the war
path and the cause Of the trouble is
scab and mango among the cattle and
horses Of the county.
Yesterday as he was cruising around
town he found a bunch of nine NANCY
Indian cayuses tied back of the Kunkel
implement house on Main street The
horses were rubbing up against every
thing in sight and it seemed the mic
robes were so thick that they could al
most be seen with the naked eye. DR..
Christie declared war on the spot and
ordered the horses killed, but they were
sent back to the reservation instead.
The Indians have been warned that
they must take care of their diseased
stock between this and the first of May
on penalty of having the animals killed
as fast as found off the reservation.
On or shortly after the first Of May,
DIR. Christie will put the reservation in
quarantine and will allow no stock Of
any kind to cross the line.
II his orders are transgressed the
property will be confscated by the state
and killed. 1t is the intention to take
radical measures in order to stamp out
the disease and prevent its spread. The
Indian horses travel over the country
spreading the mango right and left and
it is impossible to cause the owners to
take care of their property unless some
stringent rules are adopted.
Echo and Foster are under the ban
and will have to hold bathing bee in
short time to appease the wrath of the
state stock inspectors. Governor Cham
berlain wrote personal letter tc the
deputy here short time ago asking him
to make an investigation of the stock in
that vicinity as complaint had been
made to him that there was great deal
OF mango and scab among the cattle and
horses Of the vicinity.
An examination of the stock was there
fore made last week, and it was found
that in the vicinity OF the two towns
there were at least 1000 head of horses
aud 800 head of cattle affected with the
mango. The owners of stock in that
part OF the country will be asked to dip
their holdings in the near future and a
determined stand will be taken to pre-
vent the future spread Of the disease
and to stamp out that which exists at
this time
1t is probable that large corral and
dipping tank will be built near Echo in
some spot convenient to the majority OF
the stock owners who will be required
to bring their cattle and horses there for
treatment by the stock inspectors. 1t is
estimated that it will cost on an average
about 80 cts. head to dip, to which
will be added proportionate part OF
the cost Of the corral and the tank.

Necessary Number of Tickets Were Not
Sold From Pendleton.
Pendleton, April 27.--The excursion
from Pendleton to Milton, on account Of
the I. o. o. F. celebration Tuesday,
was financial failure because 1t was
not advertised, and the two local lodges
will be out about $25 each as result.
The two lodges guaranteed the o. r. &
N. company $50 tickets at $1.10 each.
When the train reached Milton they
we're short about fifty passengers and
will have to make up this amount. The
Pendleton people turned out all right
and as well as was expected, but the
lodges at Adams and Athena failed to
make good, also Pilot Rock. Adams
promised 20 people and sent only four.
Pilot Rock promised IS and sent one.
There were two from Athena.
Nevertheless those who went from
Pendleton enjoyed the day, and on their
return reported very pleasant outing.
They were very profuse in their praise
Of the abundant hospitality of the good
people of Milton and said they had been
entertained most royalty. There is no
doubt that should Milton again adver-
tise such picnic there would be twice
the number go from Pendleton, as there
are no finer entertainers in the state
than the people of Milton.
