Wild west, With two new features
the battle OF Summit Springs and a
hold-up on the Union Pacific--whtch
however it may sound. has nothing TO
do with Il. Fl. Hartman. To the bat
lie there is much smoke, and where
there's smoke there's firing--one
should leave his eardrums az home.
There are also many Indians, who
ride in picturesque nakedness and
suffer many temporary casualties at
the hands of the gallant cowboys.
In the train robbery the chief fea-
ture is an antique locomotive, appar-
entity made of papiermache. which
does not disguise the very "gasoleney''
fact that IL is u modern. snorting au-
tomobile.
But, after all, it is the cowboys and
the Deadwood stage coach and the
Sixth cavalry and the pony express
and the Rough Riders of the world
and the we'll trained bucking bron-
cos and-Buffalo Bill! that make the
show the same dear old wild west, and
Col. Cody. even though his waving
name IS little whittier and though
his aim occasionally leaves a glass
ball unbroken, is still the same Buffalo
Bill. And no one can ask more!

THE COAL PRODUCING STATES.
Colorado Holds Place In Production Of
Black Diamonds.

The most Important: change In the
order OF the coal-producing states re.
sultIng from conditions which existed
In 1906 was the replacement OF Illinois
by West Virginia as the second state
in rank. For several years the pro-
duction OF West Virginia has been
creeping up on that OF Illinois. and In
1906 the state took the position held
by Illinois since 1876. Under ordinary
conditions this displacement would
have occurred within year or two ut
any rate. but II was possibly hnstened
by the suspension Of mining In the
spring OF 1906 in those states where
the mine workers are organized. II
is true that. Notwithstanding the al.
most complete shutdown OF the Ill.
nois mines for period OF about
eleven weeks. that state exhibited n
normal increase over 1905. and II Is
claimed that the production would not
have been any larger had there been
no interruption to mining operations.
but II Ii also true that during the shut.
down In the other states mining In
West Virginia was exceptionally active.
and In addition to the increased pro.
duction at the operating mines. new
territory was opened up and much new
development work was started. As u
result OF these conditions West Vir-
ginia In 1906 made a larger increase In
production than any other state. and
took second place. In view OF the de-
velopments made In progress It Is not
likely that West Virginia will be sup.
planted by any other state.
The only other changes In rank
among tho ten lcntiag states was the
resumption OF fifth place by Alabama.
which had been supplnntcd In 1905 by
Indiana tnow sixth. and the supplant.
Ing OF Kansas by Tennessee as the
tenth state In the amount Of produc'
duction.
The record for 1906 shows that Penn.
sylvania's output has once more fallen
below 30 per cent. Of tho total produc.
ton OF the United States. In the com.
bincd production OF anthracite and b..
luminous coal. Pennsylvania ns re.
Gently mr. 1850 was credited with two
thirds Of the total coal output Of the
country. hut the proportion produced
In that state has been gradually d..
ciinIng. and In four of the last Ave
years the percentage has been lcsS
than 90. In 1906 Pennsylvania pro
