Our registration Is not up to the average at this time and lr we are to make a good showing, as a city, something must be done to bring out the full vote. The voting strength of a city Is a good advertise ment of its prosperity and moral standing. Some olties use the regis tration aa an Index of population. Portland should do likewise.

OLiYMPIA, Wash.. March 16. (Special.) State Grain Commissioner P. W. Arra smlth has furnished the State Board of Control an estimated statement of the amount of grain produced in the state In 1907. Under the new law, the Board will use this estimate In apportioning the number of penitentiary-made grain bags that may be sold to the respective coun ties. This estimate shows that the 12 gralngrowing: counties have 2.000,000 acres of ' wheat, producing 4O.S45.O00 . bushels : 141.000 acres in barley, producing 5.440.000 bushels, and 128,000 acres in oats, pro ducing 5.425,000 bushels. Whitman County leads with 375.000 acres In wheat, produc ing; 8.2S0.000 bushels: 20,000 acres in barley, averaging 30 bushels to the acre, and 83,000 acres of oats, producing 823,000 bushels. Lincoln County is second in the total yield, with 6.000.000 bushels of wheat. 120,000 bushels of barley and 15,000 bushels of oats. These figures are an average of 20 bushels to the acre for wheat; 40 bushels for barley, and 50 bushels for oats. Adams County, with 25.000 less wheat acreage than Lincoln, produced 50.000 more bushels of wheat. Benton County, with 80,000 acres of wheat, is estimated to have had an average crop of 25 bushels, which is the average given for Yakima's 40,000 wheat acreage. Columbia County led In barley production, with 2,240.000 bushels from 56.000 acres. Spokane County pro duced 2.000.000 bushels of wheat on a 20 bushel crop; 200,000 bushels of barley and 4.000,000 bushels of oats, the last two crops being based on an average yreld of 40 bushels an acre. Walla Walla pro duced 5.000.000 bushels of wheat with a 25-bushel average, and averaged 40 bush els per acre on the 12.000 acres in barley and 5.000 acres in oats. Garfield County produced 900,000 bushels of wheat on a 20-bushel crop and l.SOu.000 bushels of bar ley. Douglas County produced 4.950.000 bushels of wheat and 450.0U) bushels of oats. Franklin had 4.000.000 bushels of wheat and Klickitat 1.250.000. The Board will make the apportion ment probably Jthis week and will tlx the price of grain bags at about 7Vj, which will be 14 cent less than last year's price, the reduction being possible from the fact that jute was purchased at a considerable lower figure.. PERSONAMWENTION. Louis Karn, of Wallace, Idaho, is visit ing at the home of John Moll, on the Section Line road. They were playmates In Iowa many years ago. Miss Elizabeth Standley, daughter of W. J.

Labor Men in Alaska Poitics. SEATTLE. Wash., March "16. -A spe cial cable to the Post-Intellig-encer from Fairbanks, dated March 15. says: Bion Dodge, of the Daily Times, saya the Western Federation combination held Republican primaries yesterday and elected 14 delegates to the terri torial convention. Republican Terri torial Committeeman ,John McGinn will issue a contesting call for primaries next week. AN interesting; situation was Inter polated during; the performance- of "Zira" at the Baker last night.. It was not listed on the play-bill and the per formers, who for some minutes -held- the spotlight, were not even "extra people." It started in one of the most intense moments of the play. It was the second act and Zira is facing- the accusations of Ruth Wilding- whose place she has usurped in the comfortable Mayfair household. "I am -the real Ruth Wild ing; the only Ruth. Wilding, and you know It:" Louise Kant was saying to Blanche Stoddard when blng! Like the report of one of the howitzers sup posed to be used in the prologue. "You're a blankety blanked liar!" No it most certainly was not Mies Stoddard. Although she had no occasion to low Ruth Wilding-" she would never, never think of saying- such things. Besides the epithets were applied In unmis takable baritone. George Baker and Milt Seaman in the counting--room annex to the box office were rudely disturbed in the pleasant task of counting out their money. They sprang- full armed to the fray and rushed into the auditorium. They were Joined by Lee Pearl and at sight of them the ushers rallied around them. It amounted to a. "hey rube" call and it was evident that something-, was afoot. They were uncertain as to the location of the "rough house." and hesitated for a moment in doubt as to whether the explosion had occurred on the stage or "Out front" It might even have been "behind. Someone might have called Donald Bowles a low comedian. Hor rors! Any one of a doxen things might be happening. Meanwhile the performance stopped. Frank Griffith and his orchestra even stopped playing "chills and ague" muslo. Exactly -Sackett .stood trans fixed, a sheet of court plaster poised In -his hand. "Zira and Ruth Wilding no longer glared at each other, but gazed in horror, both of them decidedly "up stage." Finally there was the sound of brisk scuffling in a secluded section of the house, and more muttered anath araas. Down upon two offending spectators who had evidently brought their "pack ages" with them and opened up a quar rel, swooped the forces of order and good conduct. The belligerents were firmly and not over-kindly yanked from their seats and hurled Into the cooling atmosphere of. Third street. A couple of "plain drunks" had wan dered into the wrong place. That was all. Very simple! But It delayed the performance what seemed an eternally long time, and that at'thenost critical stage. ' However, quiet once more set tled down in the playhouse. The or chestra started up "The Flower Song," or whatever It was, and Zira once more faced her accuser. As a "special added attraction." the impromptu perform ance could hardly have been called a brilliant success, however. Plans for American Regatta. NEW YORK, March 16. The American Rowing Association has announced !the plans for the American Henley on May 22. There will be 13 races, as usual, at one mile, 550 yards straightaway. The definition of the "second" races is made particularly as explaining that rating in other organizations does not affect the rig-ht of entry. Note is made of the continued barring of the Vesper Boat Club on account of the trouble over Abell's membership in the Octuhile race last year. The club can enter no more races until it disavows the action of its racing committee in this matter. STATE POLICE TO RAWHIDE Rumors of Trouble Among; Ex-Gold-field Miners in Camp. RENO, Nev., March 16. A squad of ten state police under Lieutenant C. A. Lundy left for Rawhide this evening in consequence of reports of disturb ances there having been made to Sup erintendent Cox. The reason for sending the state po lice Is that trouble with Federation of Miners men driven out of Goldfield and who are strong at Rawhide, Is feared, the officials admitted tonight.
