Worlds Production of Coal.

The total coal production of the
world in 1910 was approximately
1900, 600, 000 short tons, of which the
United States contributed about 80 per
cent. This country has far outstripped
all others, and in 1910, according to
the United States Geological Survey,
it exceeded Great Britain, which ranks
second, by over 200, 600, 000 tons. Great
Britains production in 1910 was less
than 60 per cent of that of the United
States, and Germany's was less than
half. The increase in both countries
in 1910 over 1909 was comparatively
small, whereas the increase in the
United States was nearly equal to the
entire production Of France and was
more than the total production of any
foreign country except Great Britain.
Germany, Austria Hungary, and
France
The United States has held first
place among the coal-producing coun-
tries of the world since 1899. when
it surpassed Great Britain. In the II
years since 1899 the annual output of
the United States has nearly doubled
from 253, 3,7ll ,92l short tons to sol. 500,
SIS tons, whereas that of Great Britain
has increased only 20 per cent, from
246, 80, l55 short tons to 296, 0O7, $50

the local bowling team. composed of
Pifer. Dewitt. Smith, Giaunte and
Tate, took the scalp Of the picked
team from Portland to the tune of 267l
to 2564. The Portland team was COM
posed of some of the best players of
the Rose City. They were confident of
victory and the defeat was a source of
ehagrin for them. The Portland bowl
ers were: Arens. Hayward, Kneyse.

was highly elated over the victory and
its supporters declare they show state

game was the bowling Of r. p. Smith.

The Boosters upheld the honor of the

THE NEW CITY HALL.

| Hats off to a Greater Oskaloosa
With factories running full time ant
unable TO keep up wit. their orders
new interurban in the process Of
construction, a new lodge home anc
new depot being erected, Penn Col
lege reorganized on a solid financial
basis, and now a new city hall voted
we all have reason to rejoice. Never
before was the future OF the town
brighter than it is today, and the in
terest taken in public affairs by our
people proclaims a conservative but
glorious season of prosperity and
growth.
The new city hall and other i'm
provements will cost something in
taxes, but every property owner will
get back all his outlay in the in
crease in values, and in the freer cir
culation of money that comes with
a plentiful supply of work for labor
ing people. Good residents are al
ways attracted to a live town. Trav-
cling men and others who find 1t as
convenient to live in one place as
another, naturally gravitate to the
town where there are good schools,
pleasant surroundings and an animal
ed business life. With the interest
shown in fridays election Oskaloo,
sa now fulfills all these conditions,
and we predict that the demand for
good houses, which has been growing
for the past year, will increase, and
that within the next year at least
100 resident properties will have
been built. The booster spirit is con
tagious, and the indications are for
an epidemic the like of which has
not been felt here for a long time.
There may have been some politics
in Tuesdays election, and some may
have had Interior motives in the use
of the vote cast, but both were so far
removed from the average citizen
that he looked upon the charges as
farfetched and of little consequence.
At least 80 per cent of those who
worked and voted for the city hall,
did so for the good of the town and
for the encouragement and benefits
which the improvement would bring.
We have not one word of criticism
for those who voted against the propo;
sition, but the prediction is safe that
most of them will become inacculated
with the new spirit of enterprise that
is on the wing, and will be found in
the front ranks of those who are
shouting every day tht glad refrain,
"Oskaloosa Offers Opportunities

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Henry Clews, in his weekly New
York review of trade, says:
Within the last few days advices
from the west have been more cheer
ing. Discouraging news has subsid-
ed, and indications or moderate trade
revival have already begun. This,
of course, is due to the harvest, which
is proving more satisfactory than at
one time deemed probable Septem
Der thus far has been a month of
steady improvement for crops in
nearly all sections of the country.
With the adjournment. of congress
there is a welcome cessation of the
agitations and Investigations which
have so long harassed the business
world. Congress will not reassemble
which period We shall have a rest
from useless. and irritating political
meddiing. There are signs Of a re-
action in the latter respect. Politi-
clans in some sections of the country
are awakening to the fact that the
driving of capital into hiding by per
sistent attacks throttles enterprise
and thus augments trade depression
and the number of unemployed. Cap
ital is necessary to the quickening of
industry, and it would not be surpris-
ing of some of the states took the
lead in moderating present unduly
represSive legislation, especially in
the south and far west When con.
gress opens there will of course be
much talk about the tariff. The fact
that it is the best available political
asset makes that discussion newt
able. 1t is not likely, however, that
there will be any serious readjust-
ment of the tariff until after the next
presidential election. In all probable
ity the tariff will be the burning issue
in the coming gubernatorial campaign.
There will be much talk and little &C

FARMS IN FIGURES.

The Census Department has just
issued an elaborate statement of the
agricultural statistics OF the United
States. A few figures deducted
therefrom are interesting to the gen
eral reader. For instance, farm
land, exclusive of buildings, which
was valued at $13,058, 008,000 in
1900, had more than doubled before
1910, being then returned as having
a value of $28,3S6, 10000. The enor-
nous increase here recorded of $751;
1928, 1920 represents an advance of
117.4 per cent in the value of all land
in farms. The average value of farm
land per acre increased from $15.57
in 1900 to $32.49 in 1910, a gain of
1852 per acre, or 1887 per cent.
1t is not alone farm land which has
increased in value. Farm buildings
valued in 1900 as $3,556,640, 900 have
increased to 294,737, 900 in 1910, a
growth of II per cent. Implements
and machinery show corresponding
but slightly less pronounced growth
in value. In 1900 they represented
749,776, 900 an din 1910 $1,262,022,,
900, an increase in value of 68.3 per
cent.
The average number of acres in
farms has decreased from LAG in
1900 to 1873 in 1910. The increase in
the total acreage devoted to agricul.
ture was only 35,137 900 acres, or AZ
per cent. The actual area in farms
was S38,592,000 acres in 1900 and
S73, 729 900 acres in 1910.
The total number of farms operat.
ed by owners, including those owning
only part of the land operated by
them was $685. 05 in 1910, as com.
pared with 3,653,323 in 1900, an in
crease of 2S0,3S2. The total number
operated in 1910 by tenants was g.
349,254, as against ,2.024,964 in 1900,
an increase of .324,290 The number
conducted hy- hired managers was

decrease of 1857.

while 1,31l,364, or 1873 per cent, were
reported as mortgaged.
Hired labor on the farms of the
United States absorbed in 1900 an
expenditure OF 1851. $4,000 and in

THE IOWA CONFERENCE.

The Iowa Conference of the NJ. E

does not include the whole state, as
the name implies. There are four
divisions, or conferences, of Method

southeast corner OF Appanoose coun-

there the northern boundary runs east
