VOLCANIC ASH ON CROPS.
Yields on the Barbados Cut Down by
Ashes.

Consul Arthur ]. Glare of Barba-
dos, advises that w. N. Sands, agri-
cultural superintendent of st. Vim
cent, has forwarded to the British
imperial department of agriculture for
the west Indies the following notes on
the influence of volcanic ash on crops
in that island:
AS far as st. Vincent was concerned
the advantage of the volcanic ash
which fell during the last eruption of
Coufriere was practically nil, as, with
the exception of sugar cane and legu-
minous crops, such as pigeon peas and
groundnuts, no other crops can be
grown satisfactorily in 1t. OF course
the rainfall of the island is a heavy
one, but even during two or three
weeks Of dry weather plants suffer
severely.
Take for instance cacao. On the
leeward side OF the island, in those
districts where a large amount Of ash
fell, the trees are producing little or
nothing. They are much diseased and
present an unhealthy appearance gen.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Three men,
bers of the house have been promoted
to the senate in the past few days. 1t
is true that they will not take their
seats for some time yet, two of them
not until March 4, but as they have
all been endorsed by a caucus of the
majority of the legislature in each in
stance. their election is assured.
Everyone is pleased with the selec-
tion of William Alden Smith TO sue
ceed General Alger. Mr.. Smith began
his service in congress with the 54th
congress, and is now serving his sixth
term. The last time there was a con-
test Mr.. Smith received 10000 votes
to $4,000 votes for the democratic can
didate, whose name was also Smith
The last election the democrats did
not think it worth while to put up an
opposing candidate, so Mr. Smith was
unanimously elected. He Is 46 years
old and at present his only committee
assignment is on the ways and means
committee of the house.
Scarcely less popular with his asso-
ciates is Representative Curtis of Kan
sas, who will succeed Senator Benson,
who was appointed to the vacancy
left by the resignation Of Senator
Burton. Curtis has Indian blood in
his veins and has been a leading MEM
ber of the committee on Indian ar

The following from the Cheyenne
Tribune concerning the labor shortage
In the coal mines of Wyoming gives
an insight into the fuel situation on
the Pacific coast:
According to the statement Of the
officials of the Union Pacific Coal
company here, the company is suf-
fering from labor famine and sew
eral big mines at Hanna, Rock
Springs and other points are lying
idle simply because men cannot be Sc
cured to work the collIerfes.
The statement was made this MORN
ing by a prominent official OF the U.
p. Coal company that fully 500 ex-
perienced miners can find ready em-
ployment in the camps of the company
along the Union Pacific.
1t is this shortage OF labor that Is
partially responsible for the coal
famine which has been experienced In
the west during the past two months.
The output of the Union Pacific coal
mines during 1906 was S,341, $50 tons,
an increase over 1905 OF 297, ,496 tons,
but the demand was and is still so
great that If men can be secured the
Wyoming coal production during 1907
will be a record breaker.
At Hanna, two mines are being
worked but the third mine, fully de-
veloped with buildings constructed
and everything In readiness is lying
idle simply because miners cannot be
secured to worit 1t. At Rock Springs
the company is operating only fine
mines. At Cumberland two OF the
three mines are working, although
the third has been closed down for
two weeks on account of the recent
fire in the colliery and this will be
opened up SOON.

FEW NEGRO DIVORCES.
Ancient Usages Observed Among Alb.
Originies.

1t Is said that divorces are rare
among those tribes who lead a simple
life undisturbed. says the Southern
Workman. AS with civilized people,
marriages cannot be dissolved with
out formality. Princesses of the gold
coast only have the privilege of sep
aratng from their husbands without
fcrmal;ty. Some white clay handed
To the husband is a sign Of dismissal.
Common people, on the other hand,
have TO appear before the chiefs,
who decide the case. II they present
the wife with a piece OF white clay
she must mark the trees Of the prin-
cipal streets of the village as a sign
tnat she is no longer a welded wife
II tho divorce is granted to the man
the wife's family must return the
equivalent of the purchase money.
Old age among the true negroes, as
among many other peoples, is held in
high esteem. Contrary to the popu-
lar notion, the family life of many
| African tribes before they came in
contact with European civilization,
| was beautiful.

OREGON MINERAL PRODUCTS.
State Yielded Gold Valued at S1,244,-
300 I'm 1905.

A bulletin of the geological survey
says:
The state of Oregon produced gold
valued at $1,244,9 900 in 1905, and sill
yer worth $54,299. This was some
what less than in 1904. The greatest
loss in gold was recorded in Baker
county, in the northeastern part OF the
state, and in Jackson county in the
southwestern region.
The decreased output of silver was
chiefly noted from Baker and Grant
counties; the southwestern districts
produced very little silver, Northeast
ern Oregon yielded about $S80,000 In
gold from the Blue mountains, while
the gold belt in the southwest, which
includes Josephine, Lane, Jackson,
Douglas, Curry and Coos Counties, and
may be considered as the extension of
the goldbearing area of northern
California, produced the remainder,
or $364,900
The most notable feature of recent
years was the extension of the pro-
| ductive area northward into Lane
| county among the veins contained in
tertiary lavas, as In the Blue river
(Lucky Boy mine) and the Bohemia
districts.
