KANSAS COAL OUTPUT.

The total coal production of Kansas
in 1910, as compiled by Edward W
Parker of the United States geological
survey, in cooperation with the state
geological survey. amounted to 4,921.-
451 tons, valued at $7,914,7Os.
Kansas lost heavily in coal produc-
ton in 1910 by reason of the coal
strike. In 1909. when industrial peace
reigned throughout the coal mining
states, Kansas produced 6,986,47S
tons, and in the boom year 1907 the
output amounted to 1922, 449 tons, the
maximum for the state. In 1910, when
so per cent of the men we're on strike
and the period of idleness exceeded
that of activity, the production de-
creased to 4,921,451 tons. Compared
with 1909 this shows a loss of $685.
027 tons, or 1886 per cent The value
of the Kansas product decreased from
S1O.OS3,3S4 in 1909 to s7.914,709. in
1910, a loss of s2,168,765, or 21.5
per cent. The average price per ton
advanced from $1.44 to $1.61.
The number of men employed in the
coal mines of Kansas in 1910 was
1850, of whom 1896 were idle dur
ing the strike. The average number
of days worked was 14S and the aver
age number of days idle was 1913. The
total working time was 1,9O6,151 days
and the total idleness was 1,57S,017
DAYS. The average production per
man was $50 tons annually and 2.5S
tons for each working day. In 1908,
when 1876 men were employed for
an average of 1S1 days in the produc-
ton of 6.245,50s tons, the average out
nut per man was 449 tons for the year
and 24s tons for each working day.

PANAMA CANAL PROJECTS.

In view of the expected opening of
the Panama canal to traffic at the be-
ginning of 1915, shipping companies.
both in England and in the United
States, are already planning an extern
sion of business. On the other side nu-
merous lines have been established to
maintain services on both the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, with ports in the
republic of Panama, and the idea ap-
pears to be to have others in operation
for the purpose of building up a set
tied trade, so that every advantage
may be taken of the waterway when
completed.
So far as European steamship enter
prise is concerned, an agent of the
Cunard company was recently on a
visit to Vancouver seeking new trade
openings on the Pacific coast, while
the Hamburg American Line is under
stood to be in treaty for accommoda-
ton at San Francisco. The Royal Mail
Steam Packet company, which already
has warehouses at Colon, on the north
ern side of the Isthmus. is having
steamers built to cope with the expect
ed increase in traffic to Chile and Peru
At present the company has vessels
running down both side of the South
American coast, and makes great use
of the Panama and Transandean rail-
ways. The Harrison and Leyland Lines
also contemplate developments in this
direction.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

new era in cooperation was IN
augurated yesterday when the Santa
FEES diversified farming special demon
tration train pulled out of Hutchinson.
The train is under the auspices of the
Kansas State Agricultural college, as
sisted by the Arkansas Valley Com
mercfaI association. The train consists
of five cars. one for exhibits and four
lecture cars.
More Wheat to the Acre" More
Trees More Alfalfa. . Better Homes
and Better Schools" are some of the
subjects to be discussed. The lectures
will emphasize the Importance of sew
eral things. primarily. diversified farm
ing and farm Improvement.
The first car back of the exhibit car
will be for children where lectures will
be given by experts from the Agricui-
tural college, lectures that children will
understand, lectures about soils, insects
and trees. In the second car there will
be two women speakers who will talk
on various phases of home making.
modern conveniences that may be had
for small prices, better arrangement of
the things in the house, canning of
vegetables and suggestions for the im-

Importance of growing more than one
crop, of growing several, in fact, so
that in times of drouth the farmer viii

The tour should prove of great bene-
fit ultimately to all concerned, by aid
ing the farmers to increase the yield of

XMAS COMAENT
MR. CRANE AGAIN.

AT much expense to himself. MIR. r.
~ Crane, a brass manufacturer of
Chicago published book about year
ago with the avowed intention of show
ing that colleges do not educate young
people as they are supposed to do. The
colleges apparently weathered Mr..
Cranes comment and are still doing
business at the old stand.
The fact that the institutions of
learning which have been built up dur
ing hundreds of years did not irnme-
dlateIy topple over and go out of BUSH
ness because he does not like them,
Mr.. Crane.
This time he lets the colleges go, and
lands upon the college students and
the high school students claiming that
such young men are unusually i'm
moral.
AS was the result of the first TRADE.
the second object of attack will proba
bly, weather Mr.. Cranes comment
Young mems habits are not neces-
sarlly changed suddenly whether the
young men go to high school or wheth-
er they go to college, or whether they
go to manual labor. Habits are not
formed IN day and are not changed in
a day.
Nearly everybody, except Mr.. Crane.
knows, however, that it is the constant
effort OF the college and of the high
school instructors to make of these ed
ucatIonal institutions an influence for
slant effort put forth by the directors
of these institutions to weed out i'm
moral influences, and to inculcate in
young men the principles of right living
which are expected to last them
through life.
There is no question but what high
schools and colleges are showing prog
ress in turning out young men better
equipped physically, morally and spirit
ually to cope with the problems of life,
than did such Institutions years ago.
Just why Mr.. Crane has a fixed anti
pathy towards educational institutions
is not clear. The result of his writings
proves his personal animosity, and little
else.-Wichita Eagle.
LESSON OF THE SAND HILLS.
Are there any waste places on
earth? Or was it natures scheme to
create nothing that did not minister
in one way or another to the needs of
man?
Ever since the first pathfnders cross
ed the plains to the Rockies and be-
yond, the sand hills of Nebraska and
the Dakotas have been Stunned and
derided as utterly worthless. Appar-
emily, they offered neither soil nor wa
ter. Overland caravans dreaded them;
railroads kept out of them; to this
day, they are almost devoid even of
wagon roads.
And yet those desolate sand hills
have now been tackled by the settler
and are producing from 80 to 80 bush
els of corn per acre. There were hid
den springs and there was vitality in
the soil, though no one suspected it.
The fact is, the Creator did a pretty
good job in making the earth, but man
has been incredulous and slow in grasp
ing his opportunity. We are learning,
however. We take down our map, put
a line through the legend, Barren
Sand Hills" and write in its place:
4 Productive Corn Region s" the
the scheme of the universe unfolds be-
fore our unbelieving eyes.-Wichita

Canadian immigration reports show

fulfiIlment of the reciprocity pact may
be considered as one of the reasons for
the large emigration of Americans two
