Another Coal Famine Threatens

SEATTLE, April 10.-Despite the
fact that the railroad bill prohibiting
railroad companies from operating
coal properties will go into effect jan
uary /, the Northern Pacific will be
compelled either to remain in the
coal trade, or fuel famine far worse
than that of last winter will result.
Development work planned for the
coming summer is insufficient to keep
up with the growing demands for
coal. The Pacific Coast company will
open one new mine on Coal creek. 1t
is the only operating company that
is making extensive plans to meet
next winters demands for coal. There
is nothing in the federal statute that
will prevent a railroad coal mine
from selling coal locally, but 1t does
prohibit Interstate business. Coal
operators in this state are relying up
ON the TACT That the Northern PaciAc
may continue In the local trade to
prevent fuel famine next winter.

Murray and Mack, the popular
comedians are presenting this sea-
son an entirely new and original
farce. which is said to out-class
everything they have ever produced
in-as-much, that it is written entirely
on new lines and especially for them.
There is an interesting story, full of
complications, that keeps the audi
ence guessing at all times as to what
will happen next. They have given
this new effort the title Around the
Town" It will be elobarately staged.
A complete scenic outfit has been
provided for, together with an abun-
dance of new and beautiful costumes.
The company is large one, contain
ing many popular favorites from the
vaudeville stage, together with a
large chorus of male and female
voices.

China's Famine Horror.

Some idea of the horrors of the
famine in China may be gathered
from this description of the situation
at Tsing-kianpu by the correspondent
of the North China Daily News: 'The
narrow streets were thronged, and it
was with difficulty that we made our
way through the surging masses. A
guard of soldiers with fixed bayonets
was stationed on the bridge spanning
the first lock of the canal At the
bridge head we saw what was to us
the first fruit of famine, a dead Chin
csc lying in the sun at the place
where he had dropped. with his dog
curled up at hi sfeet. Pulling his
jacket aside with my stick. l saw
that his ribs were literally sticking
through his skin, this being cracked
and the body being absolutely flesh
less. Apparently he was man OF
about 80, large framed. suppose
that the body stripped might weight
about 80 to 30 pounds.

A Paen of Spring.

I'm glad you've came, sweet Spring.
I'm glad you've came,
For reasons quite too numerous to
name;
The gentle zephyrs follow in your
trail,
l hear the voice of thrush and night
engale.
The day grows longer, and the peace
full night
Is sweet and cool. Say, Spring. you're
out o. sight!
wish you'd come more often in thu
year.
For life is pleasantest when yoI arc
here.
The ice man rolls his sleeves snc
smiles a smile;
The time is his the nickles to tc-
guile;
The soda water fountains froth
and fig;
The ice cream man perks up for hus-
thing biz.
But say, Spring, this is why 1 freely
gloat:
You've given me chance to "soaK"

It brought just fifteen plunks-go
hang the thrush!
Take one on me, Spring-do, old boy
