printer of that city, who has recently

Portland. They gave a play recently that
embodied good advertising ideas, en
couraging promotion work and tending to
do away with knocking. The perform
ance was given by the Camelllan Club, a
Sacramento organization, and out of the
play was born the "One Hundred Thou

Sellwood Promised Fire Engine. The
special committee on Are protection for
Sellwood. appointed at a special meeting
of the Scllwood Board of Trade, has con
ferred with Chief Campbell as to what
sort of apparatus is best for that suburb.
The Chief recommended a Are engine, and
promised the committee that he would
do what he could to provide a steamer
for that suburb. At first the committee
thought a combination chemical engine
would be the best for Sellwood. but Chief
Campbell demurred. The fire engine wll!
probably be bought this Fall. When the

It was so arranged that a Are engine could
be Installed at any time with little addi
tional expense.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash-
Ingtori, July 2. Although a good part
of the market for Washington coal in
California has been lost through the
Increased production of fuel oil In tnai
state, Washington shared in the gen
eral increase in the production of coal
in 1907. The total output for the year
was 3,683,532 short tons, having a spot
value of $7,679,801, an Increase of
404,348 short tons, or 12.34 per cent.
In quantity, and of $1,771,367, or 29.98
ner cent, in value, compared with 19D6.
The average price per ton advanced
from fl.80 in 1906 to $2.09 in 1907.
During the first ten months of tne
year the coal-mining industry of the
state was In a highly satisfactory con
dition. In November and December,
however, owing to the financial dis
turbances, the output of the mines was
curtailed about 33 per cent. But for
this the production would . probably
have exceeded 4.000.000 tons.
The number of men employed In the
coal mines of Washington Increased
from 4529 in 190S to 5945 In 1907,
and the average number of working
days Increased from 266 to 273. The
only decrease shown In the statistics
of coal production in Washington in
1907. as compared with 1906, was in
the productive capacity of the em
ployes, the average yearly tonnage
per man having declined from 723.4
tons In 1906 to 619 tons in 1907. Tne
average dally production per man de
creased from 2.72 to 2.Z7 tons.
All Work Eight Hours.
Nearly all the mines of the state
are operated on an eight-hour schedule.
6594 men out of a total ot 5945 em
ployed working; eight hours a day In
1907.
Washing apparatus has been In
stalled In 15 plants in the state, and
the total amount of coal washed during
1907 was 799,015 short tons, yielding
644,501 tons of cleaned coal and 14,
514 tons of refuse.
D. C. Bottlng, state mine Inspector,
reports that the total number of acci
dents In the coal mines of Washington
in 1907 was 131. of which 36 were
fatal. The death rate per thousand
of employes was 6.06, and the number
of tons mined for each life lost was
102,237. This makes an unfavorable
comparison with the casualty statistics
for 1906, and particularly with those
for 1905. In 1906 the death rate per
thousand of employes was 4.86 and
the tonnage for each life lost was 14!
917: In 1905 the death rate per thou
sand was 2.73. with a tonnage of 220,
879 for each life lost.
The coal beds of Washington are
found in the western and central por
tions of the state and are mined In
five principal fields the North Puget
Sound field, including the coal mines
of Skagit and Whatcom Counties; the
South Puget Sound field, comprising
the mines In King and Pierce Counties;
the Puget Sound basin. Just east of
Seattle; the Roslyn field, in Kittitas
County, on the eastern slope of the
Casoade Mountains; and the south
western field, embracing the counties
of Lewis and Cowllti.
(je RUNAWAY HONEYMOON" Is
J- the name of the new play that
was presented by the Allen Curtis com
pany at the Oaks last night. It is a
two-act musical comedy, that made a
real hit with the audience.
There was a fair-sized crowd to wit
ness the initial performance, and there
is no question but that there will be
big crowds during the remainder of the
week.
It is the ninth week of the engage
ment of the Allen Curtis company at
the Oaks, and the record has been an
unusual one in this city. The eompany
has won a large number of friends and
has made good.
A Runaway Honeymoon" is a piece
of comical nonsense which not only
amuses but causes even uproarious ap
plause. It has a plot, although it Is not
sufficient to bother the audience, and
unless one is looking for it, there is
little chance of discovery.
Charles Figg has the part of Wilson
Fairbanks, an old trooper, who causes
considerable merriment, and Allen Cur
tie plays the role of Hank Banks, i
workman. Among the musical num
bers that scored especially strong with
the audience were: "Night and Day,
by Mr. Figg and the chorus; "All She
Gets from the Iceman Is Ice," by Ar
thur Clamage and chorus, and other
songs by various members of the com
pany.
In connection with the comedy there
were a number of specialties and fea
tures which merited tbe attention they

Character of the Coal.
The coals of Washington range from
lignite to bituminous coking coals, and
include some natural coke and anthra
cite. The bituminous coking coals of
Washington are the only coking coalB
on the Pacific Slope of the United
States. The are found in the Wilke
son-Carbonado district, In the South
Puget Sound field, and also in the
North Puget Sound field, but coke is
now made only in the district first
named. The Wilkeson-Carbonado coal
runs high in ash and is usually washed
before coking. The lignite or sub
bituminous coals of Newcastle and
Renton, in the South Puget Sound
field, are generally of high grade and
well suited for domestic use. The

BUILDING CARED FOR.
The Grand.
IT LTHOUGH at the outset the snecta-
tor at the Grand this week may be
inclined to ennui, for the bill doesn't
open in a manner calculated to arouse
enthusiasm, but long before It is over
he is ready to declare that it is one of
the most genuinely meritorious offer
lngs that has ever been made in local
vaudeville.
There has never been a better sketch
presented here If its equal has ever
been seen in these parts, than "The
Rounder," which J. C Nugent and Grace
Fertlg- offer. Nugent is a revelation to'
Coast vaudeville audiences. He is
comedian of a very high order, entirely
legitimate, spontaneous and eminently
natural and unforced In his methods,
Whoever wrote his piece knows how to
write bright, snappy dialogue thor
oughly. It is this sketch that stamps
the present Grand bill as something far
and away superior to the ordinary ones.
A close second, although of an abso
lutely different character Is that of
Zazell and Vernon, the pantomlnists, I
their shrieklngly funny offering "The
Elopement." This team is here with
the hall-mark of the London music
halls all over it. They are so funny
that people who go to the theater and
dare the actors to make them laugh,
simply howled. No one who enjoys
vaudeville has any right to miss these
two great acts.
Grant Gardiner and Marie Stoddard
in their burlesque of familiar turns are
away above the average, although
Gardiner should eliminate about half
of his tiresome gyrations. Miss Stod
dard's impersonations, particularly that
or the "Rube" Girl, prove her to be a
genuine artist. Leo Filer, the Russian
boy violinist made a fine Impression,
his selections being difficult and rend
dered brilliantly. The Herbert trio of
acrobats perform some remarkable
feats and Nellie Burt does a character
change act which has meritorious spots.
The moving pictures are especially
good this week.

Architect Is Already Busy on Flans
for Razing and Remodeling tbe
Bnrned Office Structure.
An, or very nearly all of the tenants
of the wrecked Ablngton building have
found either temporary or permanent of-
nces in otner buildings.
The insurance companies represented by
Gus Rosenblatt have risks in this build
ing amounting to $21,000. The cleaning out
of the building embarrassed many. Most
of the tenants have by this time secured
new offices at which to auction off their
goods. A great many of the older office
buildings have been left vacant by the
migration of their former tenants to newer
arid more commodious quarters. These
vacancies are proving a haven of refuge
to the former tenants of the Ablngton. so
suddenly dispossessed by the fire. The
German Life Insurance Company, of New
lorK, nas established new offices In the
Lumber Exchange, as has D. H. Tolman,
a local broker. The agent for the build
ing has under consideration the applica
tions of about a half dosen others, among
whom are W. J. Van Schuyver Co.,
whose four-story building adjoined the
Ablngton In the rear, and who suffered
considerable loss to both building and
stock. This concern is occupying tempo
rary offices on the ground floor of the
Lumber Exchange recently vacated by C.
E. Fields & Co. Architect J. O. Wrenn.
whose office was on the fourth floor of
the burned Ablngton building, was com
pletely burned out by the fire. He has
started afresh in Suite 401-3 Board of
Trade building. At the time of the fire
he had the plans and specifications for
several buildings In process of construc
tion, and the loss of these will prove a
serious handicap.

Los Angeles Attorney Who Accused
Horace Stevens Is Arrested.
Edmund Burke, the Los Angeles attor

rest of Horace Stevens, of Portland, on a
charge of criminal libel on account of
certain criticisms Indulged In by Stevens
in one of the chapters of Puter's book on
the land frauds, appears to be having
troubles of his own. According to the
Los Angeles newspapers. Burke is under
going his preliminary examination for the
alleged embezzlement of four bars of gold
bullion, valued at J437, which A. H. Deahl,
a miner, of Manhattan, Xev., says he in
trusted to the keeping of the Los Angeles
attorney. The latter is alleged to have sold
the bullion and pocketed the proceeds.
At his preliminary hearing last Thurs
day. Burke was successful in having the
proceedings conducted with closed doors.
The Los Angeles Examiner of July 24,
said that "Burke conducted his own de
