the performance was onc called Greater Selma Union Depot" Selma Minstrel Company. awaiting Southern train. The scenery for this act was an exact of the passenger station here and was made and designed by Ed Hogg. In this act there is in troduced a quartet composed oI Messrs. Lapsley, Boggs. Mckee and Keeble, who render a number Of select songs.
 The posing and fancy club swinging by Professor Ballou and I've Said my Last Farewell, Foot, To9t, Good bye, by Bob keeble and Sam Marks were most novel features on the pro gram.
 Tie performance concluded with an octettte singing Farewell Celia. me words and music to this piece were composed and arranged by Professors Joseph K. Groves and J II. Dunklin of the company. The stage setting for the rendition of this number was most elaborate and was designed ana arranged by Mrs. E. I. Walters. Inc costumes of the octette We're also ue- signed and made under the direction of Mrs. Walters who had carefully drilled them during the rehedrsas.
 The boys were Viek Allen. Will Mc- Kee. Ed keeble and Clarence Bosgs. The girls E. Hendricks. J. kenner- ly. IAlHCcy anu part of Celia" was taken by Mir. Dan Brislin. The piece was well received and the many encores which 1t receiV- ed caused 1t to be repeated several times.
 The performance given tonight by the company is said to be the pest in the history of the organization, and was as good show as IS put on the stage by regular minstrel troupe. Selma has some good minstrel taleht and this talent under the direction of Prof. J. K. Groves and Sam Marks as managers, did their work in first class style. For several weeks MT. Marks has drilled the company care fully and his training of the members in their lines was responsible Tor the splendid show tonight.
 An interesting feature to the over ture was the solo Tn the Valley or Fears" by Miss Lula Rhea Wise. Miss Wise possesses one of Inc sweet est voices in the city and 1t was never heard to better advantage than it was tonight. Another pleasing feature was Smile on Me-" in which there were introduced little Clarence Ehl- bert and little Miss Nellie Barclay.

 After the services which concluded about II o'clock. the delegates formed in line and as they sang the doxology marched to the special sleeper in which they travelled to Birmingham in. This sleeper left over the South ern Railway this morning at 1:10 o'clock and was a most comfortable trip for the delegates from this coun- ty.

TO Be MADE ON COAST
Be||ingham Has Enough Gas to
Make Gems

RubieS said to be as perfect as the
featured in Bellingham if the plans
as outlined by the propoters at the
meeting of the Young Mems Com
mercial club are consummated, says
the Bellingham Herald.
To the members of the club, Paul
L. Richards briefly outlined the pro-
cess of manufacture. He said the idea
of manufacturing rubies equal to those
of nature was conceived by his cousin
who is a resident of Paris. The rubies
are made by special process under an
intense heat of $500 and 1000 degrees
The machine in which the rubies are
made, he said, is very simple and the
disqualification of the stone is perfect
jeWeler who would examine or had eX-
amined the manufactured article would
pronounce them to be equal to any ere
ated by nature, and that no person
could tell the difference between i.
manufactured ruby and the natural
stone.
The establishment of plant with a
capacity of manufacturing 1000 rubies
per month"; heb stated, would mean a
big payroll added to the list of this
city and also be a source of revenue
to the operators.
Richards said the gas in Seattle con-
tanned too much water and was not
sufficiently transparent to give the
rubies a crystallized effect. In Ever
EFT, where a plant is now located, the
gas was a little better, but the gas In
Bellingham is much better than sin
either of those cities and first class
stones can be manufactured here. The
wholesale price Of rubies now ranges
from $3.50 to SIS a carat and the cost
of manufacture by this process was 81
a carat.
A capital of $4,000 is required to
establish a suitable plant and the stock
is offered at SO a share.

5000 WORK BY COMMISSION
Peace Comes at Last in Anthra.
cite Region

NEW YORK, July 15.-The fol-
lowing statement is authorized on be-
half of the anthracite coal operators.
The board of Cancellation created by
the strike commission of 1902 to set
tie disputes between the anthracite
coal miners and operators has at last
a clean docket. Not a single case is
ton of industrial peace brought about
by means which are probably unique
in this country. 1t must be assumed
that, if the miners have no complaints
20 make, they are satisfied with the
way they are being treated.
During the four years Of the COM
missions existence 159 differences be-
tween the coal operators and their en-
ployes bave been settled. The board
itself-composed of three represent
atives of the operators and three of
the miners-has disposed of 132 of
the cases. and an even division of the
board has made it necessary to refer
only q cases to an umpire. OF these
appeals, he sustained the complainant
in only 26 cases.
Experience gained in handling the
complex questions involved has en-
abled the board to render its decisions
with increasing promptness, and of the
159 cases presented 40 were disposed
of within less than one month.
OF the grievances considered, only
one was presented by the United Mine
Workers of America, as a body repre-
senting all the miners. Thirteen
LAG by the miners. By the boards de-
cisions % cases We're sustained, rs
not sustained or withdrawn, and Is
settled through the influence of the
board.
Almost every element of the min
er's welfare is involved in controver-
sizes brought up for consideration. The
discharge of an employee, failure of
another to secure reinstatement, sus-
pension of "a contract for loading
day on pay day, and scores of other
questions come before the board.
Questions affecting wages have
been rarely brought before the board,
for the reason that the anthracite
strike commission, after exhaustive
investigation, settled upon a minimum
scale of wages. which was renewed
for three years by the miners and OPP
orators at the expiration, April l. 1906.
Of the original arrangement. To put
the miners upon a profit sharing basis
the commission further awarded that
for every advance of five cents above
$3.50 in the wholesale selling price
per ton of domestic sizes of coal at
tideWater, the wages of every man
about the mines should be increased
one per cent, above the schedul.

FARMERS Of WASHINGTON MAKE MONEY ON CROPS

( The Washington farmers as whole
cater more to the raising of wheat than
to any of the other small grains raised
in North America, yet it is shown by
statistics that this crop has been given
but fourth place among the profitable
agricultural enterprises for this state.
Last year the average yield per acr.
for wheat was POS bushels, but the
farmers in this state for the past 10
years have raised on an average of
2331 bushels of this grain per acre.
The price per bushel paid to the
Washington farmers for their wheat
last year was 81 cents and has paid
the farmers on an average of 61.2 cents
per bushel for the past 10 years. In
this state farmers sowing their land
to wheat have realized and average
of SLABS per acre from the same, dur
ing the 10 years just passed.
Oat growing as profitable enter
prise has shown itself to excel that Of
wheat growing to a large extent. Land
in this state produced an average or
40.Z DuSHelS Oh OdlS 10 lHe acre last
year and for the past 10 years has re-
tanned an average yield of 44.10 ousn-
els to the acre.
Farmers throughout the state wer-e
given an average of II cents per
bushel for their oat crop last year ar
though during the past 10 years, the
price of oats in this state has ranged
all the way from 80 cents to 40 cents
per bushel, an average price of 40 cents
has been maintained by this grain
Thus it is seen that oats have brOugn,
to the Washington farmer an average
of $17.64 per acre during the past 10
years.
To the Washington farmers last year,
rye produced an average of 1876 BUSH
els per acre and sold at an average
price of 65 cents per bushel. During
the past 10 years. ending just after
the harvest of the rye crop of 1906,
rye had been bringing to the farmers
in this state an average of IS cents
per bushel and had been yielding to an
average of 1882 bushels per acre for
the same length of time. On an aver
age the Washington farmer has reael-
lied about SIT per acre during the past
10 years from the rye crop.

with that which is used for tie pro-
Guction of wheat and oats.
Corn raising, though not yet extern
sivcly undertaken in this state, has
by no means proven a failure. Based
upon the value of the land upon which
il has been grown in this state, the
corn crop has been of an average value
OF $12'18 per acre for the past 10 years.
Last years crop was worth on an aver
age of $13.S6 per acre. having pro-
duced total of 2SS,389 bushels of

The average yield per acre for the
past 10 years has been 21.07 bushels

Washington farmers for grain of this
kind.

Washington the best barley producer

among the barley producing states by
the state of Idaho. The race was won
by the state of Idaho in both instances
by about 2.5 bushels per acre.
