A resolution was passed that the Spokane County association be formed along the lines of that in Puyaliup and that the fruit growers and vegetable producers form a union as a central body, which is to act as agent for the county, and none of the members are to sell any of the produce except through the union. The proposition is to have a gen- eral distributing agency and all the fruit growers and vegetable producers are to bave stock in this central body. Each man, whether he owns 15 shares or one share, will have but one vote in the union. A competent man Is to be secured to sell the produce and the producers are not to sell it except through him. This agent is to be In the direct employ- ment of the union and to see that the markets are supplied in the most econ- omic manner, and that the products of the county are placed where they will bring the best price, controlling the output so there will be a demand for the products. MINING NOTES. A summary of the mineral produc- tion of Canada for 1905 has been is- sued by the geological survey branch for the Interior department. The val- ue of the mineral products for the year Is $68,574,707, er two millions higher than Canada's best year, 1901, when It was over $66,000,000. In 1904 the mineral production was $60,073,- $97 or $8,500,000 less tban for the past year. Last year'B returns were all the more remarkable In view of the fall- ing off of gold from the Yukon aggre- gating $2,000,000. Butte has gone wild over copper stocks. All coal miners In the employ of the Alberta Railway & Coal company at Lethbrldge, Alberta, Canada, 200 miles north of Great Falls, Mont., have struck, demanding an Increase In wa- ges and other concessions, the grant- ing of which, according to the com- pany. would increase the cost of pro- duction of coal 40 per cent. The com- pany officials will not make any effort to settle the trouble before next fall. About 700 men are out. The output of the mines has been about 1800 tons per day, the coal being marketed along the Canadian Pacific and in Montana. More than 2000 men are employed in the mines of the Boundary, B. C.. or In the three district smelters and on two railways dependent on the mines. In the mines over a thousand men are employed, the smelters have about 600 men and the railways In the Boundary 4QO men. The monthly payroll Is more tban $200,000.

A gold strike of more than passing significance is reported to have been made on the Vienna and International "lalms, situated on Placer creek, six miles from Wallace. The reports are substantiated by samples of ore brought out of the prospects and placed upon exhibition at Wallace. NEW FACES IN CABINET. Ambaasador Von Meyer 'or Secre- tary of Navy. It Is understood many cabinet changes are in contemplation. Attor- ney General Moody may retire In the early Bummer. Secretary Bonaparte of the navy department will have the place if he wishes it. In that event Q. L. Von Meyer, now ambassador to Rus- sia, will likely take the navy portfolio. Postmaster General Cortelyou will succeed Secretary Shaw when that of- ficial retires In the fall, unless present plans are changed. One great problem In the tender of the supreme court bench vacancy to Secretary Taft la, who will take up the great problem of the isthmian ca- nal and the Philippines. While Secretary Tart, although de- siring to ultimately have a position on the supreme court bench, doea not feel liKe leaving the cabinet at this time, Washington believes he will be the successor of Justice Brown.

KILLED BYEXPLOSION OVER 1100 LIVES LOST IN COAL MINES IN NORTHERN FRANCE. Death and Deatructlon Followed By Terrific Fire?Flames Balk Rescuers ?Thousanda of Weeping Women and Children, Whose Kin Are En- tombed, Stunned By Awful Oleaster. Paris, March 11.?A mine catastro- phe of incalculable horror and magni- tude has stricken the great coal center of northern France. An explosion of fire damp at 7 o'clock Saturday morn- ing carried death and destruction throughout the network of coal mines centered In Courrleres and fire follow- ed the explosion, making reßCue diffi- cult and almost Impossible. The Intense excitement and confu- sion in the vicinity prevented early es- timates of the exact loss of life, but a dispatch received gave 1219 miners en- tombed and probably lost. Later dis- patches give more than 1200 dead. All France has been profoundly shocked by the magnitude of the disas- ter. which is said to be the greatest In the history of continental mining. President Fallleres sent his sympa- thy, accompanied by Minister of Pub- lic Works Gulter and of the Interior Dublef. on a special train to the scene of the disaster. The ministerial cri- sis was temporarily forgotten, sena- tors and deputies Joining In the uni- versal public manifestation of sorrow. Scene of the Dlsaater. The Bcene of the catastrophe Is the mountainous mining region near L«ns. Here are huddled small hamlets of the mine workers, who operated the most productive coal mines in France. The subterranean chambers form a series of tunnels. Six of the outlets are near Lens, and others are at Cour- rieres, Verdun and other points. The output of these mines is partic- ularly combustible, and is largely used in the manufacture of gas and in smelt- ing. About 2000 miners work the group of mines, and with their fami- lies make a population of from 6000 to 8000 souls. The explosion took place shortly at- tor 1975 men had descended into the mine. There was a deafening explo- sion, which was followed by the cages and mining apparatus being hurled from the mouth of the mine. Men and horses nearby outside the mine were either stunned or killed, "lne roof of the mine office was torn off. Immediately following the explosion flames burst from the mouth of the pit, driving back the men who bad sought to enter and dooming those who were inside. The work of attempt- ing to rescue the imprisoned miners was quickly begun by officials, engi- neers and miners from the surround- ing mines. The families of the entombed mlnera crowded about the shafts seeking fa- thered husbands and threatening in their efforts to obtain details to force back the gendarmes, who kept them from the mouth of the pit. The chief engineer of the depart- ment of Pas de Calnes, M. Leon, says that the fire broke out In the pit at 3 o'clock last Monday afternoon and that the engineers coped with it as best tbey could, but that Friday, be- ing unable to master It, they closed all the outlets. Fissures, he thinks, must have formed, which permitted lhe gases to escape, and these becom- ing Ignited, resulted In explosion. Latest Report. The worst fears as to the enormity of the mine disaster in the Courrieres district have been realised. The death list numbers 1100 and the whole region stands appalled at the terrible tragedy, which has brought sorrow to 6000 fath- ers, mothers, wives and children. The last great mine disaster In Prance occurred in 1886, when 293 per- sons were killed and 80 Injured, but that and all others sink Into Insignifi- cance before Courrieres. The vast mortuary camp Is under military guard, 400 soldiers having ar rived there to assist In holding In check the crowds of distracted mourn era. For a time hope has been held oul to the people that tappings on pipes by the imprisoned men had been heard, but gradually this hope vanished and the people demanded admission to see the bodies, and even threatened to break their way through the cordon of troops, who had the greatest difficulty In keeping the crowds from the pit. One man named Sllvestre succeeded In entering the mine, but he never re- turned. It is believed he groped about Inside until he was overcome by lue gases and perished. It is reported that a rescue party numbering 40 has been cut off by the caving In of one of the galleries. By One Who Escaped. The ministers listened to a graphic description of the scene In the mine by Cerf. one of the men rescued, and who still Is suffering from the terrible ef- fects of his experience. "I was wor»<ng with the gang when 'be explosion occurred. The foreman Immediately shouted for u* to follow him, and. dashing into a recess In the gallery, we were followed by a blast of poisonous gases, which rushed by, however, without affectlags us. We re- mained there for eight hours, when, feeling that suffocation wta gradually coming upon us. we attempted to ea- cape. We crawled In alngle Ilia to- ward the shaft, but aeverml of the men dropped dead on the way, including my son and the foreman. I carried my nephew on my back for 4# minutes, and succeeded In saving him. It took us four hours to reach the shaft." ItITZVILLE. WASHINGTON. MABCH 14. 1906. ?PORTING NOTE*. Crop Eatimate. New Mlniatry. Fire at Amarlllo. For the time being the mine building has been transformed into a mortuary chamber, and all about In it lie the burned and almost unrecognisable bodies of miners which were taken there as they were brought from the mine. The recent fight at Los Angeles be- tween Hugo Kelly and Jack (Twin) Sullivan nt Boston was declared a draw at the end of 20 rounds. The plana for the northwest sports- men tournament to be held In Walla Walla June 20 to 24 are rapidly being made. Maurice Thompson and Kid Parker will probably weigh In at 133 pounds when they meet at the Spokane Ama- teur Athletic club March 30. Friday and Saturday .May 11 and 12, are to be gala days at the Wash- ington state college this year, those days having been set apart for the annual interscholaßtic track meet. The announcement that Manager Qulnn, of the S. A. A. C., has complet- ed arrangements for a twenty round go between Kid Parker of Denver and Maurice Thompson, of Butte, will be hailed with delight by every lover of the boxing game. Mrs. D. W. Peoples of Wardner, Idaho, was awarded the prize Ashing rod, worth $15. given by the members of the Wardner Fishing club, organ- ized last summer, for catching the largest trout with rod and line during the season. The prospects for a good baseball team at Whitman college at Walla Walla are unusually bright. The Northwestern baseball league will this year probably continue with a four club circuit, as last year, In- stead of a membership of six cities, as originally planned. Helena is appar- ently in trouble, and Bellingham Is practically abandoned, so that the like- lihood is that neither of these cities may be found in President Lucaß' 'eague during the coming year. W. H. Hitt, who has long been known as the champion checker play- er of Harrington section, was recently defeated by Earl Haynes, who now Is- sues a challenge to meet any of the crack checker players of the Inland Empire for a series of match games.

Filipinos Are Reported Satisfied That Outlaws Are Exterminated?Native Women and Children Mingled With Warriors and Were Killed in On- alaught. Manila.?All of the men who were wounded in the recent tight with the Moroß at Mount Dajo are reported to be In favorable condition. Six of the organizations of the troops which came from Mindanao are either en route home or have been or- dered to return to their headquarters. Jolo Is quiet, and the sultan and na- tive headmen have reported that gen- eral satisfaction Is being expressed over the extermination of the outlaws. Qeneral Bliss made a reconnais- sance toward Mount Dajo during the week previous to the attack of the American force upon the Moro strong- hold there, but It had no effect upon the hostile attitude of the outlaws. An unofficial report says that the fam- ilies of the Moras remaining In the vlllege, located In the center of the crater at the apex of the mountain, and the women and children mingled with the warriors during the battle to juch an extent that It was impossible to discriminate, and all were killed in the fierce onslaught. Oeneral Wood is not available at present to confirm this report. Constabulary detachments are now engaged in the mountains of northern Luzon rounding up the bands of sav- iges and head hunters who are on the warpath. Americans are now arriving at Zam- joanga from Jolo. The consensus if their opinions is that the whole trouble was due to the fact that the governor, Major Hugh Scott, permitted Jie outlaws to fortify themselves with In sight, of the city of Jolo. The mili- tary authorities have refused since Thursday to give any Information to the press. Associated Pre«n telegrams from Zamboanga say that the attack on Mount Dajo began on Monday. There were four days of hard fighting, dur- ng which it is estimated that 91)0 per- ions were killed or injured. FARMERS HAVE WHEAT. Nearly 23 Par Cant of Last Year's Crop In Their Barna. The crop reporting board of the bu- reau of statistics of the department of igrlculture, from the reports of the correspondents and agents of the bu- reau, finds the amount of wheat re- gaining In farmers' hands on March 1 -o bave been about 158,403,000 bushels, ir 22.9 per cent of last year's crop, as compared with i.J-1 per cent, or 111,- 155,000 bushels of the crop of 1904 on hand on March 1, 1905, and 20.8 per ;ent of the crop of 1903 on hand at the corresponding date In 1904. The corn In farmers' hands Is esti- mated at 1,108,000,000 bushels, or 40.9 per cent of last year's crop, against 18.7 per cent, or 944,426, u <)0 bushels of the crop of 1904 on hand on March 1, 1906 a.nd 37.4 per cent of the crop of I 90» on hand at the corresponding date In 1904. Of oats there are reported to be ibout 379,806,000 bushels, or 39.8 por ~ent of last year's crop still in farm- ers' hands. STOPS INDIAN CITIZENSHIP. Houae Pa**e* Law Delaying Hia Right 25 Year*. The house has passed a bill having been called up by Br. Burk of South Dakota, amending the Indian allotment laws so as to obviate the effect of the recent decision of the supreme court In the Huff case, where It was held that as soon as an Indian entered on land he became a citizen and persons celling him liquor could not be prose- cuted.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY PASSED AWAY Roohester, N. Y., March 14.?The long and eventful life of Sugsan B. An thony olosed at 12:40 o'clock Tuesday morning. The end came peacefnlly. Miss Anthony had been unconscious practically for 24 hours and her death had been momentarily expected since Sunday night. Only her wonderful constitution kept her alive. Dr. M. 8. Bicker, her attending phy- sioian said Miss Anthony died of heart failure induced by donble pneumonia. She has had serious valvular heart trouble for the last six or seven years. Her lungs were practically closed the pnemonia had yielded to treatment, but the weakness of her heart prevent- ed her recovery. Susan B. Anthony was one of the foremost exponents of women's suffrage of the time. She came of a noted family, and her bro- ther, Colonel Daniel Anthony, waa edi- tor of the Leavenwoith (Kan.) Times for many years until his death a few years ago. So persistent was she in her advocaoy of equal riglita that she has appeared before committees in congress on the snbjeot every year since 1860, it is stated. She had a stormy career, and was once arrested and tried for voting under the fourteenth amend- ment, in 1872. Hasan Brownell Anthony waa born on February 16, 1820, at Adams, Mais. She waa eduoated in a school main* tained by her father at Battenville, N. Y., and at a Quaker boarding school in Philadelphia.

She organized at that time the first women'a atate temperance so- ciety, and became active in antislsvery and women's rights affairs. She was secretary of the Women'a National Loyal league during the civil war. Hlnoe the war clotted her whole time lias been devoted to women's rights, and she has neve* loat an oppor tunity to wield tongue or pen in behalf of that cause. She has tppeaied as ? contributor in the foremost periodioaia of the day, and also on platforms in every large oity in the country. One of her ventures waa the Revolu- tionist, an organ designed to spread the idea that women were entitled to the ballot. Miia Anthony did regnlar field work for her oanae, and in eight different atates where the amendment to allow the ballot to her aez waa being voted on ahe took oharge of the oampaign. Miu Anthony han held high oflioera in the National Women'a Hufferage as- sociation ainoe it*foonddation in 18A9.

KILLED BYEXPLOSIONOVER 1100 LIVES LOST IN COAL
MINES IN NORTHERN FRANCE.Death and Deatructlon Followed By
Terrific Fire?Flames Balk Rescuers
?Thousanda of Weeping Women
and Children, Whose Kin Are En-
tombed, Stunned By Awful Oleaster.
Paris, March 11.?A mine catastro-phe of incalculable horror and magni-tude has stricken the great coal centerof northern France. An explosion offire damp at 7 o'clock Saturday morn-ing carried death and destructionthroughout the network of coal minescentered In Courrleres and fire follow-ed the explosion, making reßCue diffi-cult and almost Impossible.
The Intense excitement and confu-sion in the vicinity prevented early es-timates of the exact loss of life, but adispatch received gave 1219 miners en-tombed and probably lost. Later dis-patches give more than 1200 dead.
All France has been profoundlyshocked by the magnitude of the disas-
ter. which is said to be the greatest
In the history of continental mining.
President Fallleres sent his sympa-thy, accompanied by Minister of Pub-
lic Works Gulter and of the InteriorDublef. on a special train to the sceneof the disaster. The ministerial cri-sis was temporarily forgotten, sena-tors and deputies Joining In the uni-versal public manifestation of sorrow.
Scene of the Dlsaater.The Bcene of the catastrophe Is the
mountainous mining region near L«ns.Here are huddled small hamlets of
the mine workers, who operated the
most productive coal mines in France.The subterranean chambers form aseries of tunnels. Six of the outletsare near Lens, and others are at Cour-rieres, Verdun and other points.
The output of these mines is partic-ularly combustible, and is largely usedin the manufacture of gas and in smelt-ing. About 2000 miners work thegroup of mines, and with their fami-lies make a population of from 6000to 8000 souls.
The explosion took place shortly at-tor 1975 men had descended into themine. There was a deafening explo-
sion, which was followed by the cagesand mining apparatus being hurledfrom the mouth of the mine. Men andhorses nearby outside the mine wereeither stunned or killed, "lne roof ofthe mine office was torn off.
Immediately following the explosion
flames burst from the mouth of thepit, driving back the men who badsought to enter and dooming thosewho were inside. The work of attempt-
ing to rescue the imprisoned minerswas quickly begun by officials, engi-
neers and miners from the surround-ing mines.
The families of the entombed mlneracrowded about the shafts seeking fa-thered husbands and threatening intheir efforts to obtain details to forceback the gendarmes, who kept themfrom the mouth of the pit.
The chief engineer of the depart-
ment of Pas de Calnes, M. Leon, saysthat the fire broke out In the pit at3 o'clock last Monday afternoon andthat the engineers coped with it asbest tbey could, but that Friday, be-ing unable to master It, they closedall the outlets. Fissures, he thinks,must have formed, which permittedlhe gases to escape, and these becom-ing Ignited, resulted In explosion.
Latest Report.
The worst fears as to the enormity
of the mine disaster in the Courrieresdistrict have been realised. The deathlist numbers 1100 and the whole region
stands appalled at the terrible tragedy,
which has brought sorrow to 6000 fath-ers, mothers, wives and children.
The last great mine disaster InPrance occurred in 1886, when 293 per-sons were killed and 80 Injured, but
that and all others sink Into Insignifi-
cance before Courrieres.The vast mortuary camp Is under
military guard, 400 soldiers having arrived there to assist In holding Incheck the crowds of distracted mournera. For a time hope has been held oul
to the people that tappings on pipesby the imprisoned men had been heard,
but gradually this hope vanished andthe people demanded admission to seethe bodies, and even threatened tobreak their way through the cordon oftroops, who had the greatest difficulty
In keeping the crowds from the pit.One man named Sllvestre succeeded
In entering the mine, but he never re-turned. It is believed he groped aboutInside until he was overcome by lue
gases and perished. It is reported thata rescue party numbering 40 has been
cut off by the caving In of one of thegalleries.
By One Who Escaped.
The ministers listened to a graphicdescription of the scene In the mine by
Cerf. one of the men rescued, and whostill Is suffering from the terrible ef-fects of his experience.
"I was wor»<ng with the gang when'be explosion occurred. The foremanImmediately shouted for u* to followhim, and. dashing into a recess In thegallery, we were followed by a blastof poisonous gases, which rushed by,however, without affectlags us. We re-mained there for eight hours, when,feeling that suffocation wta graduallycoming upon us. we attempted to ea-cape. We crawled In alngle Ilia to-ward the shaft, but aeverml of the mendropped dead on the way, includingmy son and the foreman. I carried mynephew on my back for 4# minutes,and succeeded In saving him. It tookus four hours to reach the shaft."

Roohester, N. Y., March 14.?Thelong and eventful life of Sugsan B. Anthony olosed at 12:40 o'clock Tuesdaymorning. The end came peacefnlly.Miss Anthony had been unconscious
practically for 24 hours and her deathhad been momentarily expected sinceSunday night. Only her wonderful
constitution kept her alive.Dr. M. 8. Bicker, her attending phy-
sioian said Miss Anthony died of heartfailure induced by donble pneumonia.She has had serious valvular hearttrouble for the last six or seven years.Her lungs were practically closed thepnemonia had yielded to treatment,but the weakness of her heart prevent-ed her recovery. Susan B. Anthonywas one of the foremost exponents ofwomen's suffrage of the time. Shecame of a noted family, and her bro-ther, Colonel Daniel Anthony, waa edi-tor of the Leavenwoith (Kan.) Timesfor many years until his death a fewyears ago. So persistent was she in heradvocaoy of equal riglita that she hasappeared before committees in congresson the snbjeot every year since 1860,it is stated. She had a stormy career,and was once arrested and tried for
voting under the fourteenth amend-ment, in 1872.
Hasan Brownell Anthony waa bornon February 16, 1820, at Adams, Mais.She waa eduoated in a school main*tained by her father at Battenville, N.Y., and at a Quaker boarding schoolin Philadelphia. At theageof 16 yeaia
she became a school teaoher, and nntilshe waa 30 years of age followed thisvocation.
Itl was In 1852 that nbe first beganher oireer as a public woman and a re-former. She organized at that timethe first women'a atate temperance so-ciety, and became active in antislsveryand women's rights affairs.
She was secretary of the Women'aNational Loyal league during the civilwar. Hlnoe the war clotted her wholetime lias been devoted to women'srights, and she has neve* loat an opportunity to wield tongue or pen in behalfof that cause. She has tppeaied as ?
