The Daughter of the Desert" was
presented to an appreciative audience
in the MARYLAND Theatre, Saturday
evening. The members of the caste
took the parts assigned them so well
that nothing but praise can be accorded
any of them. They had worked faith
fully and success crowned their efforts.

the best for all well.
The audience fell in love with Ruth,
Lucy, Mrs. Ogden. White Bird, Morton,
Clarence and Mr.. Hopkins as they por-
traYed life on an Arizona ranch, during
an Indian outbreak, with their little love
scenes intermingled A spirit of hatred
was felt toward Silvera, showing that
he took to perfection the part of the
william. Jim Parker, while a profess
slonal gambler, was at heart a genuine
ly honest man, trying to do justice to
each one. Bill Jones was a most i'm
posing looking sheriff, and his droll
speeches caused many hearty laughs.
And the cowboys well, a more Jolly,
wholesouled lot of fellows would be hard
to find.
The teachers and pupils of the high
school thank the people of Oakland for
the encouragement and help they have
given, both by their presence and by
the many words Of praise that have
since been heard.

Man Pow.r and Coal Power

+ Does any one realize tho power OF
conl as worker? A man was set TO
work to pump as hard ms he could all
day. and at the end Of ten hours it
was found that he had done just as
much work as a little less than two
ounces OF coal could do. Taking ell
the energy put forth by hsrdwork-
Ing man during one whole year, tho
same amount Of force would be fur
nished by thirty-six pounds Of good
coal or say forty pounds OF average
coal OF course even in our best en-
gines the grenter purt Of the working
energy OF coal is wasted. But even
~ only onc.tenth Is turned TO account
one and half hundrcdweight Of coal
Is equal 10 man working 800 days
OF the year. a horse can do as much
work as ten mon. but one and a quar-
ter pounds OF coal have AS much work
ing force as horse e1pends in one
day. So that a ton Of coal. II we
could use all its force. would do as
