YIELDS OF jSRAIN IN 1907
Washington Commission Completes
Keports by Counties.
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..

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.
