The best steam and coking Goals in
the United States are those of the
Appalachian coal field, which reaches
from Pennsylvania to Alabama in a
belt trending almost parallel to the
Atlantic coast, and distant $50 to
$50 miles from it, says a writer in
the Engineering magazine. These
Appalachian Goals are, in general, far
superior to those of other portions of
the United States. For most of its
extent this coal field is paralleled, on
its eastern or coastal side, by a series
of extensive iron-ore deposits. These
iron ores, however. though enormous
in quantity, are usually of relatively
low grade: but they can be placed on
the seaboard at very low price per
unit of iron. A plant located at the
coastal end of a coal carrying rail-
road could therefore depend on seeur-
ing cheap supply Of high grade fuel
and a. cheap supply Of low grade do
nestle ore. But it would also be in
position to avail itself Of still cheaper
supplies of high grade foreign ores.
imported from Canada. the West In
dies. South America and Spain. The
duty on such ores is rebated in case
the products made from them are ex-
ported. but even without this provi-
sion the ores used b. a seaboard plant
would not cost more than lake ores
at Pittsburg. In view Of these facts
it is remarkable that only one plant

Big Suit Against
Order of Owls

More, trouble is in store for the
Brotherhood of Owls, which was es-
tablshed in this city several years ago
by K. L. Leavitt and Charles B. Wood
and it is thought the latest move will
result in the death of the order.
Word has been received here that
Charles Wood, former grand secretary
of the, grand nest of Owls has brought
suit in the superior court of King
county against that organization for
s1.446.69 alleged to be due for services
rendered. Members of the Owls say
this action is the elimination of a Sc
rieS of financial troubles which have
beset the order since its inception ana
that it may sound the death knell OF
the brotherhood.
Plans have been under considera-
ton for some time whereby the west
ern order might be consolidated with
the Order of Owls of South Bend, 1nd
provided the eastern lodge would as
sumo the Indebtedness of the Wash
ington grand lodge. However, some
misunderstanding arose, and Mr.
Wood. who has been forced to carry
on much of the work in Seattle with
little or no remuneration, now brings

Bold Burglars
Work In City

Two burglaries were committed in
the dead dark hours of last night,
both on Alder street and within a
block of each other The total loot
is no definite clue to the robbers, al
though the police believe they are
working along the right track.
From the "Pantatorium,' in the old
Banner store building just opposite
the Telephone building, two raincoats
and a suit of clothes were taken. The
value is probably about $50
The building was entered from the
rear, where the door was fastened with
hook and staple, and fitted so loosely
there was plenty Of room to reach in
and push the hook up with a stick
The other theft was from the Jack
son Brothers bicycle store, block
further up Alder street. A rifle, 1856
calibre, was taken, and 5000 rounds of
assorted ammunition, including 500
rounds of 12-gauge shotgun shells.
There were also "a pocket knives in
cluded in this steal, the amount of
which is about 5000.
From the amount of booty taken
from the latter store. it is thought the
thieves must have had wagon to get
away with it. 1t is probable both
thefts were committed by the same
parties. Both places were insecurely
fastened in the rear and entrance was
easy.

College Students
cheer For Bryan

Organizing in the most enthusiastic
boys of Whitman college last night
started off their Bryan-Kern club
with vim and spirit which augurs
well for the cause of democracy
among students. More than 80 young
men of the local college attended the
meeting in the democratic headQuar-
ters and the banquet served after
wards.
AT 1880 the boys left Billings hall
and marched down to the Ransom

intervals, aWaking the deniZens of
the houses and business blocks along
their route from any possible reveres
or slumbers. They yelled:
"One, two, three four,
Who're you goin' to vote for?
BRYAN, Bryan"
At headquarters they got down to
business at once and elected the fol-
lowing officers: President, Otto B.
Johnson; vice-president, Lloyd HaW-
ley; secretary, Warren Belt; treas
urer. Paul Brainerd. After the business
of the meeting was completed Attor-
ney Frank Garrecht addressed the
boys on 'Democracy's Appeal to Gull
ture."
After the meeting was adjourned,
the boys were the guests of the demo-
cratic county central committee at a
banquet served in the Rogers -HosWen
parlOrs. Here the membership roll was
passed and every boy signed his name,
expressing his willingness to support
the democratic national candidates.
After the banquet the boys gathered at
the corner of Second and Alder and af-
ter a few Bryan and Whitman yells,
went back to the dorm ready for all
cOmers in the opposing ranks.
To promote interest in Organism
among the students and get their
thoughts on the subject, prize Of s.
was offered to the student VINO would
prepare the best grafton on the sub
ject, why a Young Man Should Vote
for Bryan" A second prize Of $3.50
is offered. Many of the boys who We're
present expressed their intentions Of
