A SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL.

With the vast coal deposits of many
states, including our own, still prac-
tioally untouched, it seems supertiu-
ous-a work of supererogation. in
fact--to prepare substitute for coal.
The shortage of the coal supply, how
ever-not at the mines. since the out
put in the same length of time was
never greater than it has been during
the past six months, bur at the coal
bunkers in every Western, North
western and Pacific Coast city-has
amounted to calamity in many plac-
es, and serious inconvenience, and
largely increased expense of living at
all points. Hence the thought of the
chemist and the aIchemist has been
turned toward the possibility of de-
vising substitute that will, if it does
not supeIsede the use of coal in many
lines, will SO supplement it as to make
coal shortage relatively trihing mat
ter. Charles Baskerville has an art
icle in the American Review Of Re-
views which deals with this subject
exhaustively and quite entertainingly.
He shows how the manufacture of de-
natured alcohol may, if intelligently
pursued, reduce to the minimum, II
it does not completely abrogate, the
suffering from lack of fuel and light
now so prevalent over wide area OF
the great West. 1t is cited that in
Germany and Holland seventy per cent
of the stoves are fed with denatured
alcohol. Potatoes, starch corn or any
cereal; sorghum, beetroot residaes,
cornstalks, fruits of various kinds,
melons, gourds cactus, honey, milk,
etc., contain the elements necessary
to produce this fuel, and as shown in
the article quoted, the process of dis
tillation is very simple. A million
gallons of denatured alcohol are used
annually in Germany as fuel for inter
nal combustion, engines and for driv-
ing agricultural and other machinery
thus relieving the demand upon coal
for this purpose. 1t is also used ex-
tensively as an illuminant, relieving
again the pressure upon coal for the
manufacture of gas, while the point
urged by the economist is that it may
be made in thu United States as it is
made in Germany, from the waste
products of the farm and orchard.
The question of producing dena-
tured alcohol from the things that
would otherwise go to waste and ap-
plying the product to the needs of or
binary life as expressed in a substitute
| for coal in domestic use is its abso-
lutte cleanliness. This means that the
labors of housekeeping in the winter
season would be reduced at least OLE
half and that of stoking furnaces aud
stoves would De entirely abolished.
The householder who attends to his
own furnace, shoveling into it from
five to twenty tons OF coal during the
winter, according to the locality, and
the housekeeper who wrestles fol
months with coal dust and smoke will
appreciate to the full clean substitute

One of the Worlds Noble Women.

When twenty five years ago Baron
ess Burdett- Coutts, then 81 years Of
age, married W. l.. Ashmead Bartlett,
an American who was much younger
than herself. the event was the subject
of great deal of animated comment
and of course there were not wanting
those who ascribed unworthy motives
to Mr.. Bartlett, because of the great
wealth of his bride. Criticism, how
ever, did not live long, and now that
the baroness has crossed the great di
vide mention is incidntally made of the
fact that her husband at all times earn
estly cooperated with her in her.philan-
thTopic projects.
AS benefactor of the people Baron
ess Burdett- -Coutts will long be remem-
bered. Her wealth was inherited from
her grandfather, Thomas Coutts, an
English banker, and she made q liberal
and public spirited use of this wealth.
She spent large sums in building and
endowing churches and schools, as
well in this country as in England and
British colonies. In her zeal for the
good of her own sex she effected i'm
porant reforms in the teaching of gills
at the national schools in England.
Her private charities are known to
have been as generous as those OF a
public nature, and all that she did was
done with as little ostentation as pos
sible. In her death. which occurred
recently the British empire loses one of
its greatest philanthropists. But the
example she set to other women who
are possessors of large fortunes should
not be allowed to die. Others following
that example may do much to make
this world happier for thousands of
people.

when Charley Barrett went down
to Salem Monday he carried in his
pocket bill in which is centered the
interest of the farmers of Eastern Ore
gon. This till, Of which Mr.. Barrett
is the author, and which he will intro
duce in the lower house of the legis-
lature, provides for the esta blishment
of jute mill at the Oregon peniten-
tiary for the manufacture of grain,
wool and hop bags. The best wishes
of this part Of the state are with Mr..
Barrett in his undertaking, but the
opposition against the bill, which is
known to exist west of the mountains,
is of such magnitude that no great
surprise will be manifested if the mea-
sure is defeated.

ATHENA, ORE, JAN. 1a, ,9c

The announcement of the seventh
annual poultry show to be held at
Walla Walla, Jan. 21-29 inclusiAe
brings to mind the fact that i'll consid-
Grafton of the prominence of the hen
az source of revenue, there is not a
town or hamlet of such small import
ance that at should not boast of an
annual poultry exhibition. These
poultry shows promote interest in pro
pagating higher grades of stock, and
once started, the cost of maintaining a
Thoroughbred flock is no greater than
eeping up scrub stock. AS an instance
of promotion of fine poultry stock that
came through public exhibition IT
fowls may be cited the case of Wes-
ton. Several years ago couple of
you ng men owning several coops of
standard bred fowls of different varie-
ties. conceived the idea of giving poul-
try show on small scale. The exhib-
ition was we'll attended by farmers and
the people of the town. Interest was
at once taken in the matter of supply
ing the barnyard with better breeds of
chickens, and the result is that today
there are more thoroughbred chickens
raised in and around Weston than in
any other locality in Eastern Oregon.
And it pays.

WARREN

A special meeting of the town council
was held last evening to take up the mat
ter OF a rigid enforcement OF the liquor
law In the town. complaints having been
made to the members OF the board Of a
general traffic In liquor on Sundays to
the annoyance of residents OF Main street
In the central part of the town. 1t has
been learned that last Sunday evening
many persons came from places out-of-
town and made themselves Objectionable
to Warren citizens by their carousals on
the highways.
Chief of Police Macomber was called be-
fore the board and instructed to make no
delay and spare no pains in closing up
the hotel barrooms and the drug stores
that are doing business in an alleged IL
legal way In the town on Sundays. IL was
asserted that the Sunday traffic in liquor
has been growing for some weeks, al
though efforts were made once or twice
recently TO stop II.
1t is promised by a member of the
council that Sunday liquor selling will be
stopped and that no annoyance such as
was occasioned last Sunday will be re-
peated The council and chief of police
conferred on the manner OF procedure in
carrying out the law.
The exhibition OF fruit, flowers and
vegetables at Grange hall In East War
rem yesterday was most interesting
character than the day before owing to
the fact that Il doubled In size and the
apples, pears, grapes and produce of va
rious kinds were much admired. Daniel Il.
Bowen of North Warren had apples on
exhibition that were probably the largest
in town and OF fine quality.

NINE. KENNY LIPZIN
IN DER MANNER

A fair-slzed and thoroughly appreciative
audience composed naturally Of Jewish
speaking people, was present at the Prov
idence Opera House last evening to wit
ness the performance of Der Manner.
| Last evenings appearance was the sec
ond and last of the Jewish company In
this city and judging by the applause at
the close OF the play, the company has
| left a decidedly favorable impression IN
| the minds of the hearers.
The production Is one OF the newer
tragedies by the prolific Jewish play
wright, Jacob -Gnrdinr who is known In
dramatic circles as the author OF tine
/ Kreutzer Sonata
| Der Mamzer," which appeared In TINS
city for the first time last evening, while
| n is not quite up 10 the standard set by
| Gordin's masterpiece. "Gott Mench Und
Teufel." is nevertheless OF unmistakable
worth. The plot is clear and easily under
stood. The story that runs through the
play is new and original, but, like many
other Jewish plays, seen here, 1t Is sorely
lacking in action and movement: In tne
| first two acts which consisted manly
of dialogue, this fault was especially
| marked.
However. IL the presentation lacked
anything as play the deficiency was
more than made up for by the truly able
efforts OF the players.
The leading part of "Genoria,' an
Italian gentleman, was played by Nine.
Kenny Lipzin, who is not unknown here,
having appeared in number of perform
ances With the exception of Bertha Ka-
| Itch, Kenny Lipzin is easily the foremost
actress on the Jewish stage today. and
the finish and grace which marked her
presentation of the difficult role showed
| that her reputation Is justly earned. Her
poise. ease and complete mastery of the
| details OF her part went great deal to-
ward making certain the success OF the
entire play.
The support given her, which, though
| Il was rather weak in the smaller and
less important parts, was on the whole
satisfying. Mr. Tobias as Alphons. King
o spain. and Mrs. Tobias as Lucretia
Borgia, being especially commendable in
| their presentations.
| Mr. Cohn as Arising, n nobleman ano
| the friend OF Genoria, and Mr. Schacht
as Gubetta a baron deserve nreat credit
| for lines well learned and well pronounc-
cd their enunciation being clear-cut and
! almost perfect.
Usually the Yiddish performances pre-
sented In this city have been woefully
| deficient in stage setting and scenery,
hardly any attention being paid those
matters.
