Interesting Facts and Figures.
Readers OF this paper will better
appreciate the magnitude of the Red.
path-Vawter Chautauqua System after
reading the following interesting ma
terial which will convey an approx.
mate idea OF what 1t means to conduct
an immense chain of C~hautauquas,
one OF which Is held each year In this
city.
Two Complete Circuits.
Two distinct arrangements control
two complete circuits-Mr. Keith Vaw.
ter OF Cedar Rapids, Ia, managing the
Wisconsin. Minnesota, Iowa and Mis-
souri, circuit; Mr.. C. +. Horner of Lin
coin, Neb., having charge OF the Kan
sas-Nebraska circuit.
A Worlds Fair Rush.
II the gates to the System grounds
had been provided with turnstiles.
1900, 900 paid admissions would have
been recorded. The admission tickets
placed end to end would reach from
Chicago to Omaha.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars worth
OF equipment, ten private cars, are in
cluded in the 1908 inventory OF Red
path enterprise. This season the
equipment Is doubled on the Vawter
circuit, which means that fourteen
complete outfits are to be used for
the Chautauqua pavilions and auxil.
larry tents.
Landlords Made Happy.
Assuming that the average rate OF
$500 was paid for accommodations.
the hotel Golfers were enriched by
$25, 900 issuing from the Redpath ex-
~chequer. If n man were to travel
the aggregate distance covered by
agents and talent, he would journey
LII, 900 miles. BY way of illustration
he would enjoy two II trip eXcur
sions to the moon, circumnayigate the
globe eight times; and would have
10000 miles left which might be util
ICED for an excursion to Palestine and
back home. Twenty-three thousand
Ave hundred dollars was spent In rail
road passenger traffic alone for the
1908 campaign.
Bigger Things Promised.
And what can we anticipate for
1909? Last year n~inety-five Cbau-
tauquas were conducted on the two
circuits; this season one hundred and

The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1909-02-11

At daylight rode up to The corn
tain Ovenshine introduced me for the
| first time to General Custer. The gen
eral, seeing that was mounted on y
mule, said to Captain Ovenshne:
captain. | haven't got time to dilly
daily along the road with a mule. !
Il mule. | want him to have Il horse.
and Il good one"
| said. General. this is the best
horse at the fort and assure YOU
that he won't be much behind you
when you reach Fort I.arned."
The captain explained to the general
thct the horses were in prettr bad
condlti ut the fort and that he had
heard me brag so much about that
mule that he felt quite sure that the
beast was all right
The general seemed Il little displcas-
ed and said, "N'cl. if that is the best
you have will have to put up with
It,"
We mounted and started out on the
road. For the first fifteen niles to
Smoky Hill river there was Il good
wagon road. and as we rode along the
general asked me numerous questions
In regard to the country and the In.
dams. and thus we talked along mile
after mile. But the general was going
at n pretty rapid gait. and my mule
was not very speedy ON the start, but
| knew he would finish all right So
when tho general WAS not looking |
would put the spurs to The mule lit
tie to wake him up However. | kept
alongside of the general until got to
Smoky Hill river. | noticed that the
old mule WAS not painting much. but
the horses were.
told the general that this would be
the last water fer forty-hve miles un-
I'll we got near I.arned; that 1t would
be best to water the horses there. and |
II the men required any water they
had better fiji up their cantcens, which |
hey did.
From this point We struck into the
sand hills, leaving all roads. 1t was
pretty sandy and rretty heavy travel
ng for horse or mule. but | made up
ny mind that would show the gen
'ral from there on that | had spoken
he truth about the mule. So when the
general was not looking ut me would
,ut the spurs to him. and as he would
unge ahead I would say:
"Whoa. there! Take it easy. old fcl.
ow Don't get to frettin'."
We went on like that for mile or
o. The mule would get ahead Of the
lorscs. and whenever the genera!
wasn't looking I would spur him, and
IS the mule would forge ahead
you'd pat him to calm him down
Finally the general remarked. THAT

MARYLAND'S COAL
OUTPUT DECREASES

The total production OF coal In
Mary and In 1908, according to f..
w. Parker OF the United States geo.
logical survey, says the Manufactur-
ers' Record, amounted to 4,377,093
short tons, having a spot value of
50, 1888. a decrease, as compared
with the production in 1907, OF L.
l55,535 short tons, or 20.S9 per
cent, in quantity, and of 81 ,506,94t
or 22.75 per cent in vaule. The
decrease is attributed to the general
business depression in 1908. In
only one year since 1896 have the
coal mines OF the state made a small
er output, and that-was In 1900,
when, as the result OF strikes last
ing from 80 TO 200 days, the pro-
duction fell off nearly 100000 tons.
amounting to 4,024.6SS short tons
in 1900, against 4,S07,396 tons in
1899. The average price per ton In
1908 was $1.17, as against $1.20
in 1907 and $1.19 in 1906.
