CaIve in Montreal.

What the papers there had to say of
the famous Carmen: "Calve, in bet
ter voice than when formerly here
with the opera company, was well
coined by particularly large and
brilliant audience. Her initial appear
ance was warmly greeted. This was
demonstrated with ample satisfaction
when at the close of the 'Habernera
form Carmen, the audience insisted
on again hearing the voice of Bizet's
most famous heroine.
Her program in Spokane on Monday
evening, January 10Th, will be made
up of the numbers which we're given
the greatest acclaim at her most i'm
portant Eastern appearances, in New
York; Boston and Philadelphia. The
selections are calculated to show the
rich, melodious voice of the famous So
prano at it's best, and to permit her
fascinating, magnetic personality to
have its most engaging effect. Equal
care has been exercised in choosing the
numbers for the assisting artists, 80
that the program from first to last is
one of the most artistic and interest
ing ever offered there.

ROGERS WAS MUM.
Refused to State Where Standard Oil
Was Interested.

1t developed from the questions ask
ed by Attorney General Herbert S.
Hadley of Missouri of Henry H. Rog-
ers. vice president and director of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
that one of Mr.. Hadleys chief pur-
poses in conducting an examination Of
officers of that company in this city
is to find out whether that company
owns a controlling interest in the
Standard Oil company of Indiana, the
Waters-Pierce Oil company of Mis-
souri, and the Republic Oil company
This. Mr.. Hadley said he regards as
step in the direction of excluding
the three latter companies from do
ing business in Missouri.
To most of the important questions
by Mr.. Hadley bearing directly on the
question of stock ownership, Mr.. Rog-
ers declined to give any answer, ION
the advice of counsel" and Mr.. Had
ley requested Commissioner Frederick
H. Sanborn to certify the question and
Mr. Rogers refusal to the supreme
court of this state for determination
as to whether or not Mr.. Rogers must
answer them or be adjudged in con-
tempt.
Mr.. Rogers declined to reply to
questions as to whether he controls
any stock in the Waters-Pierce Oil
company, whether M Van Buren, of
New York holds controlling interest
in that company for the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey; whether the
New Jersey company controls the
Standard Oil company of Indiana or
the Waters-Pierce company and
two thirds of the dividends
of the Waters-Pierce company are not
paid to H. M. Tilford, who, Mr.. Rog
ers said, has an office at 26 Broadway,
this city.
MI Hadley declared that he would
take all these questions to the SUI
preme court of New York state to Sc
sure an order for Mr.. Rogers to show
cause why he shall not answer them.

FAT YEAR FOR THE FARMERS.
What Evergreen State Produced in Its
Grain Fields.

Grain ficlo6.
Last year was fat one for the
wheat farmers of Washington. The
second largest crop Of wheat in the
history Of the state was raised in 1905
and had the production been only
about 100000 bushels more, the crop
would have been twice as large as that
of two years ago, states a Washington,
D. c., report. AS it was, the 1905 har-
vest was only little smaller than the
bumper crop of 1901, when virgin
fields produced phenomenally large
acreage yield and when the grand to-
tai of 34,518,96S bushels were reaped.
This years crop amounts to 32,516,810
bushels. as against 32,140,603 bushels
in the great year of 1904 These fig
ures are from the latest estimates Of
the department of agriculture.
Other crops in the state this year
were very large, and are only less
notable than the wheat harvest be-
cause they constitute a smaller total
value. The production of oats, for in
stance, reached a total of 1927, 900
bushels, as against 7,40719S bushels
in 1904, and 7,598,185 bushels two
years ago. The total farm value OF
this years oat crop is estimated at
$3,373, 070.

TO MAKE TWO MILLION BAGS.
More Indian Jute at WalIa WalIa Pen
Quality Superior to 1905.

Quality Superior to 1905.
Walla Walla.-The last of the ship
ment of $500 bales of jute from Cal
cutta has arrived at the penitentiary.
The quality of the jute is found to be
far superior to that of last year, and
on this account it will probably be
possible to get nearly if not quite 100
more grain bags to the bale from the
stock just received, which will bring
the number up to about $50 to the
bale.
Warden KEGS says he expects to
work about the same number of con-
victs in the jute mills as in 1905, or
about 300.
1t is thought that the total output
of grain bags for the season will
reach 100000.
On account of the increase in price
of the raw material it is expected the
board will advance the price consid-
erably from that of last year, which
was $685. per 100 f. o. b. Walla Walla
while prices elsewhere ran as high as
$3.50
AS it requires about 100000 grain
sacks to supply the demand in this dis
trict alone, the output at the peniten
tiary will find ready market at the
low price. the price to be determined
by the board of control at its next
meeting.

OPINION is MODIFIED
Ordered by Supreme Court in Case Of
Sanford VS.. Kunkel Et AL.

The Supreme court denied the petition
for rehearing in the case OF Benjamin
Sanford ct al, appellants. against Mark
Kunkel ct al, respondents. Thursday, but
the original opinion is somewhat modi-
fed. The opinion ordered that a house
against which plaintiff had lien and
which was removed by the Utah
Lumber company TO satisfy a claim II
had for materials furnished be sold TO
satisfy a claim Of the Morrison Merrill
company.
II is shown that this was an error. as
the evidence disclosed that the Morri-
SON Merrill company had a claim against
hand other than that upon which the
house was located. The opinion is modi-
fed TO the extent OF ordering the sale
OF the land from which the house was
moved to satisfy the various claims, and
II the amount derived is not sufficient TO
proceed with the sale OF the house
which was removed. as It is held by the
court that the removal OF the house does
not discharge the lien.
The opinion was written by Justice
Straup and ooncurred in by Justice Nc
Carty. Chief Justice Bartch is Of the
opinion that a rehearing should be
granted.
