has just been completed for the Penn
sylvania road Is the first of several,
passenger cars of the same kind which
have been ordered by that company,
and naturally there will be consid-
cradle interest in the tests to be made
of these cars.
The use of passenger cars which
will not burn under any circumstances
is a step far in advance of the aboli-
ton of the old fashioned coal stove
and oil lamp. In fact. it is such a
complete safeguard against fire that
the stove and lamp might now be
restored with comparative safety,
though. of course. no company which
has abandoned those Anticipated meth
dds of heating and lighting would
again employ them. The proposed i'm
provement. therefore, must command
great public favor. If the patrons of
the railroads could have their way,
there would be rapid, even if grad
ual, substitution of steel for wooden
cars all over the country.

"A Message From Mars.o
Oftentimes some Of the most con-
vincing truths are most forcibly placed
before the mind In plays presented up
on the stage. The greater the truth
the more convincing is the play. The
great comedy, "A Message from Mars" 4
with David Proctor as the star, will
be seen here at the Metropolitan early
In July. -l fs.,
One of the many virtues this comedy
Is said to possess, is, that it deals with
the truth. Mark Twain claims that
nothing can be funnier than the honest
truth. 1t is. as he says, SO unexpected.
"a Message from Mars" has the
reputation of being one of the most
cleverly constructed comedies that has
ever been given to the stage. The
great truth brought out in this play is
\ fact sermon delivered in opposition
to extreme selfishness. "a Message
from Mars" will be seen here for the
first time. and coming as it does, after
Its established success in London and
New York, there is every reason for
believing that it will attract great at
tention here. A play that ran for three
consecutive years in London and two
in New York City, must possess genu-
Inc merit

DIAMOND CRAZE IS.
KEEhER Than
EVER BEFORE
Precious Gems Found in o. s.
and Canada Prices
High.
Associated Press to The Eveai.s Tines.

Associated Press to The Evening Tlmes.
y Washington, d. c., June %. Never
before in the history OF the United
States has there been such demand
for diamonds as there was in 1906.
Large quantities were imported, but
the country produced none. In 1903
it produced diamonds to the value Of
$50, in 1901 1t had an output worth
800, in 1900 its production was valu-
ed at $3.50, and 1899 the country boast
ed native diamonds to the value OF
$3.50.
Diamonds have been discovered in
the United States in four different re-
gions, but their actual place Of origin
is in every case unknown. All have
been found in loose and superficial
deposits, and all accidentally. It is
not at all improbable, however, that,
some day the original sources Of this
queen of gems may be discovered.
The high price of diamonds has
made the recent search for these prec-
ious stones in the United States and
Canada keener than ever before. A
careful search for diamonds was kept
during the examination by the United
States Geological survey OF many sam
pies of gold and platinum sands at the
Lewis and Clark exposition at Port
land. A lookout for diamonds has also,
been kept by number of people who,
have been dredging for gold on an
extensive scale in the rivers Of Calf
ornia. In neither case have any finds
been reported.

the gain in number approximately two
hundred per cent The capital in
vested showed even a greater increase.
In the former year there were invested
in plants of this character $51, sis,
while in 1905 there were $202,17S, an
increase of nearly three hundred per
cent. During the five years under con-
sideration the raw materials increased
from s96,24G to $47S,274, while the
value of the finished products increas-
ed from s122,12S to $562,4S1. These
last two indicate a gain of nearly three
hundred per cent, which is a, re-
markable showing.
While it is true that these two in
dustries comprise seventy-five per cent
of the value of the products manu-
featured in the state, the fact that
last year they supplied finished pro-
ducts valued at seven million dollars
is some evidence of what can be done
in this state in the way of manufac-
turing so long as these manufactures
consume as raw material the products
of our own section.
1t is true that if it were necessary
to import both the raw material and
the fuel for converting it, manufactur-
ing in this country would be a decided
failure. But if the milling industry
alone were pushed SO that the wheat
produced in this state could be con-
verified into -four at home instead of
being hauled to Minneapolis, there
would far less need of heroic legisla-
ton to prevent the farmers of the
state from being robbed by the wheat
ring of the terminals.
The two industries discussed above
have added untold wealth to the state
in the conversion of the raw material
into the finished products, but in this
they have merely added the profit of
manufacturing and the one great prin-
cipal of profit of manufacturing-th
getting together Of large numbers of
laboring people who earn sufficient
money to purchase the necessaries and
Injuries of life without producing
them, thereby creating market fol
the products of the farm-has been
lost, the total number of people en-
gagged in these two industries last
year only being 367. and the total
wages earned $23S,6S5, an infintism-
ally small amount compared with what
it would be with as many industries
in operation as the state could we'll
| support.

SOMETHING FOR THE FARMER.

No branch of the national govern
ment is SO closely identified with the
business and social life of the people
as the post Office department. Under
our present high pressure methods of
this age it would be impossible to con-
duct the average business without the
daily mail. and oftimes without the
hourly mail.
But in nothing has there been such
wonderful development as in the rural
delivery, and certainly no branch of
the service is more valuable.
At the present time the rural free
delivery supplies 3.1s1. $50 families.
Based upon five persons to each fam
lily. the average determined by the last
census. this would mean that nearly
sixteen millions of our population are
beneficiaries of the rural mail service.
1t has been found that about one-half
of our population is rural, so that at
the present time there are about forty
millions of people living at points
considerably removed from post Offices.
The rural delivery is supplying six
teen million of these with mail service,
80 that forty per cent of the people
not able to reach the post office daily
are placed in position to have all the
advantages of their city cousins.
This is one of the monuments of the
republican party and if there were
nothing more in its work in behalf of
the farmers of the country than this
one great system, it would have done
sufficient to commend it to the con-
sideration of every man who appre-
ciates the value of modern conven-
fences.

STEEL PASSENGER CARS.

The first steel passenger coach ev-
err built in this country has just been
completed for the use of the Penn
sylvania railroad. In its general ap-
pearance it does not materially diff
fer from other coaches now in use,
but it possesses certain important ad-
vantages over them that are expect
ed to commend it strongly not only
to the leading railroads of the coun-
try, but also to the travelling public.
Most important of these advantages
Is the claim that the use of steel
coaches will greatly decrease the dan
ger to passengers in case of accident,
especially accidents due to derailment
or collision. All steel construction
is Of course much stronger and more
rigid than wood, or part steel, and it
is therefore held that the danger OF
crushed cars or telescoped cars will
Se largely lessened when coaches are
made of this material. while there will
be similar decrease in the danger
OF fire following a wreck. This latter
danger is one that is feared fully as
much as the chance of wrecks them
selves. for experience has shown that
many times more people meet death
from the fire which frequently follows
a wreck than directly as a result of the
accident. And of course IL the
coaches are composed largely of metal
there will be little to burn, thus CIV
ing far better opportunity to rescue
survivors not killed in the crash ITSELF
For a number of years many of the
leading railroads have been adding
steel freight cars to their rolling stock
for practically the same reasons now
advanced in favor Of steel passenger
coaches. The cost of steel construc-
ton is somewhat higher than for wood,
but the companies have felt that the
additional investment was warranted
by the superior protection afforded to
goods in transit and the lessened
chance Of losses through accident.
And now they are planning to try the
same plan with passenger service,
and IL the experiment proves as sue
;essful as Is expected and hoped. 1t
will probably not be many years be-
'ore steel coaches will be adopted to
more or less extent on most Of the |
'oads Of the country. The coach which !

FOR DRAINAGE
Imperative That Conditions in
the Valley be Relieved
Crop Notes.

Drainage is decidedly the thing most
needed in the Red river valley in the
opinion of George Hall. travelling rep
resentative of the Dowagiac Machine
company. With plenty of drainage Mr..
Hall believes the low, rich lands of
the valley will be found to be the
best in the state.
Just now lands in the western part
of the state are at premium and in
vestors will not look at Red river val
ley lands because SO much of It has
been drowned out the past four or five
years. but when there comes a dry
summer things will be different and
l am afraid the people in the western
part of the state will suffer from
drought" said Mr.. Hall.
even during the wet years there
Is no reason why the farmers of the
valley should suffer If we had proper
drainage and plenty of it.
Il own half a section of land lying
just south of Hamilton. A twenty
three mile ditch running to the Red
river is being dug in that district. It
will tap the Tongue river and carry
on the surplus water of that stream
so that there will be no danger of
overflow. When this ditch is complet-
ed the farmers of the vicinity are con
fident that they will be able to raise
good crops even in the wettest years.
believe the same thing should be
done all through the valley wherever
drainage is needed. 1t would certain
ly pay to have it DONE"
Mr.. Hall travels extensively through
out the state. He recently returned
from trip up the Underwood branch
of the 500 and to Bismarck and Turtle
lake. He found crops throughout this
district in fine condition.
In the northern part of the valley,
through Pembina and Walsh counties,
the prospects have not been so good
since 1895. while around Minot they
are A. No. 1.

INTERESTING IMPORTATION.
~ Il. Jewell,
Secretau.

The department of commerce and
labor has recently issued a bulletin of
the Industries of North Dakota which
contains large quantity of interest
ing as we'll as valuable information.
It deals entirely with the manufacture
ing Industries and shows the increase
IN both number and valuation of the
products in 1900 and 1905.
As would be expected the Aour in.
dustry ranked first in both these years.
While the number of establishments
mad only increased by two during that
time, there being fifty-four in 1900 and
mty-six in 1905, the value of the pro-
ducts Of these mills had increased
from $3,4ss,S29 in 1900 to $685., 22s
In 1905, while the capital invested in
the plants had increased from S1.143,-
~ In the former year to $685., s7s in
the latter. 1t will thus be seen that
both the invested capital and the out
put OF the plants practically doubled
during the last five years. During last
year these mills consumed ISAIAH
bushels Of wheat. this being an in
crease of 1.177.4s1 bushels over that
