Coal for Market. In the country surrounding Stella, Cowlita county. Wash., it has been known for a number of jjars that crop. pings of coal have been discovered, am some prospecting and develnpmeut work have been done. The coal assay ed well, and it was comparatively easy of access, but for soma reason it was found difficult to interest capital suffl cient to hiine and ship ths coal on large enough scale to make it profit ble, and the man who owned the most valuable properties in that locality had not the means to do so himself. About six months ago the following capital ists of The Dalles became interested in ths property: ' Hon. Malcolm A Moody. J. M. French, J. B. Mclnerny and J. Nicholas. They employed practical mining engineer who had had experience in this character of work and had a thorough inspection of the properties made. The result was that they formed a company giving the owner of the land a half interest in paid-up, nos-assessable stock, while they agreed to furnish all the money necessary. They purchased machine) y of the latest design in the Kast, and most of it has arrived and been set up, It is the expectation of the company to have coal from its mine ou the market within 60 days of a quality equal to any that is now used in the Northwest, and at a price very much below that at which it is now sold In carrying out their present plaus they will build a railroad from Stella four miles up Cold creek to w here tne mine is located. Tho Big Buffalo Sold. . One of the most important mining deals ever made in the Northwest, wherebv the former Big Buffalo mine at Buffalo Hump becomes the property of Charles Sweenev, the Spokane capi talist, has been consumated at Grange- ville, Idaho. The sale embraces the Bert Rigley, S'oung and Bobbins inter ests, representing one-half of the mine, for $125,000 cash. Sweeney had pre viously secured the other interests for which he paid about $75,000. The deal on the property has been pending manv months. Hew Bine River Ledge. The newly discovered quartz pros pects on the Blue liver. Or., reported about two weeks ago, are attracting great deal of attention. Miners and prospectors are heading that way from all directions, and already a live! mining camp is there. The discovery is in the vicintiy of Blue river falls several miles northwest of the old Blue river mining camp. It is easily acces sible by a horse trail from the main road up the McKmzie. and no difficul ty is experienced by miners taking in supplies. To Plant Tomatoes. The Davidson Fruit Company, at Hood River, Or., has furnished about 75,000 tomato plants to farmers who are going into the business of growing tomatoes for the cannery. P. F. Brad ford has the supervision of the growing of the plants, and has visited the farm ers and given instructions about setting the plants. The plants are furnished free and the farmers have engaged to plant about 80 acres for the fruit com pany. 2ext season it 100 acres of peat can be secured, the company will put in machinery to hull and can green peas. Mohair Pool Sold. A fool comprising 2,931 fleeces ol mohair has been sold at Corral lis. Or. The purchasers were F. L. Miller and S. Li. Kline, merchants of that place. and tbe price paid was za cents per pound. The total weight of the lot would be about 10,000. lne pool is the second of the kind sold there thi season. A former lot of almost the same number of fleeces sold recently at 28M cents per pound. Northwest Tfotee. Fred E. Wilmarth has purchased an interest in the Burns, Or. News. A new saw mill will soon begin operations at Alba, Lmatilla county. Ths material for the F6ssil, Or waterworks, weighing 100 tons, will be hauled from Arlington by team.

He was 69 years of age, and went to the Canyon creek mines in I860. The body wag taken to Susanville for burial. Field Superintendent Larson, of the La Grande beet sugar factory, reports that there is a total of 700 acres of beets planted and the ground is pre pared for seeding 800 acres more. J. F. Birney, of Everett, Wash., has gone to Snohomish to survey a logging camp for Campbell Bros., on Batt's slough, where 700 acres of timber will be handled. At a Port Townsend custom house sale of seized goods, consisting of silks, eigars and opium, the principal bidders were Chinese, and the opium brought 10.50 a pound, the regular, market price. Over 500,000 shingles were floating in the bay and strewn along the beach at Port Townsend as a result of the capsizing of the scow towed from Dun geness with 1,000,000 shingles on board. Many have been recovered, but the loss will be heavy. A cattle buyer was on the Lower Co- qoille river the past week buying and contracting for calves and young stock for parties in Fresno countv, Califor nia. He made contracts for some 600 head of calves at $3 per bead, to be de livered the first of September.

Until trwt's says: Mors rather than loss irregularity in tho trade and pries sitimtiou is to be no tod this weak, part ly in the result of weather conditions. but partly in the case of ths iron and, steel trade because of ths continuance of those efforts in ths friction of lower prices which have been such a feature of the iron and steet trade oi laie That the basis conditions of trade re main on the whole mors favorable is, however, evidenced by a number of features. Railroad earnings coittinns heavy, aud the doorcase noted in ban clearings is chargeable largely to relig' ions and other holiday ottsnrvniioea, and to restricted stock speculation. ' It hits been a weather market for ths cereals aud mo.it agricultural products, these advancing early this week, but weakening toward ths close. Wool is weak, but there is rather more inquiry, ahd now, as one yeat ago, relatively highest prices rule at points of production. Backward weather conditions have affected the lumber trade demand but in this as in a number of other lines the advanced prices denmnded are cred lteil wun cuocxiug uusmess. The pressors of heavy supplies is re sponsible for the slight, weakening shown in the price of raw sugar this week, while the re bued market n- mains unchanged. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggrega ted 3,898,945 bush' eles, against 2,890,653 bushels last week. Business failures in the United States for the week number 161 against 152 last week. Failures in Canada for the week number 19, as copniared with 85 lasf week. PACIFIC COAST TRADE. Seattle Markets.

"It took me souio time to grasp ths American point of view In regard to tetters of Introduction," snld au Eli gl!h traveler, chattlug over America characteristics. "Wueu ws give a innn a letter of Introduction at home, w consider that ws am vouching for bint socially, nuaiiclaHy aud svery other way, so, needless to. say, It Is uever done except among relatives or the closest friends, HerS you don't seem to tuke the thing seriously. When I was lu Washington Inst week 1 was In trod need to a very pleasaut gentleman tn ths rent estate business, and elm need to nieutlou that I was going to NiihIi villa next day. 'Oil, Indeed!' he said, 'then I'll Just give you a line to an old chum of mine there,' and ImiiuHllutely he took out a pud of puitc-r and began writing, ity the way,' he remarked, after Jotting down a few words, 'I didn't eveu know my name struck me Is the proper spelllngr Tho Idea of stranger giving m a letter of Introduc tion to au Ultimate friend when he didn't eve ukuow my name struck me as very strauge aud nimialtig. Uow ever, 1 took It with thanks, and late found the Nashville mnii a very charm lug fellow. Wheu I left lie Insisted on giving me a note to a friend In Mem phis, who proved equally charming, and who, lu turn, supplied mo with a lutroductlou to a proiulucut chibiun here tn New Orleans. "The Inst letter I haven't presented, ml don't Intend to, because It contains a glaring, though Inadvertent misstate ment lu referring to me as an old and cherished friend of the good-mit tired gentlemen of Nashville and Washing ton. The process, as you see, has built me up an entirely fictitious character, and 'ion my word, 1 can't understand why such friendliness la not continual ly and outrageously abused by Iiimhir torn. I'm sura It would he on our sld of the water." Baltimore News. Why He Got It. There Is a sentiment common to ths most of mankind which makes oue' own home ami neighbors the best there are lu the world, and even a strange A lio balls from the home town the most welcome friend to be met away from there. Nevertheless, such an llltistra tlon of It as the following, told by Geu, Sir Redrers Huller, Is rare: The story was told the Rev. 8. Bar Ing Gould by Gen. Buller himself, and Is narrated In the author's words as far as possible. Sir Red vers was on his way, with regiment of soldiers, to Cauada. Off the entrance of the St. Lawrence the vessel was enveloped In fogs and de layed so that provisions ran short. Now there was a station on an Islet with supplies for shipwrecked mariners, so Sir Red vers went ashore In a boat, to visit the store and ask for assistance. When be applied be found a woman only In charge. No," said she. "the supplies are for those who are shipwrecked not for such as you." 'But this Is a Government depot, and we are servants of the crown." Can't help It; you're not shipwreck ed." There was a very recognisable Into nation In the woman's voice. Sir Red vers at once assumed the Cornish ac cent, and said: "What, not for dear old One and All, and I a HulIerV" "What, from Cornwall, and a BulerV Take everything there Is In the place; you're heartily welcome!" Origin of Rod and Lino. Obviously the answer to the cooun drum, "Who discovered rod-Ashing In the sea?" is the first man who found be could not dangle effectively a band line over the edge of some precipitous shore, with rocks projecting at the foot Later, when this noble savage began to burn out trees to make boats, the fisherman of the period doubtless boomed out a line on each side of the craft of the period so as to enable him to work four lines. Go to the wildest portions of these Islands and we find the same practices continued. In the far noith, little barelegged Highlanders sit on steep rocks bobbing for cuddleB, rod In hand. and without doubt much the same thing may have been seen any summer this century or two, as long. Indeed, as there have been cuddles and laddies to catch them. Go to the northwest of Ireland, and there the descendants of wild men row or sail, with bamboo rods, stuck out from the sterns of their boats, like quill stuck by wicked pupils In wigs of eighteenth century pedagogues. Files, mind you, at the end of the lines. Real fly-fishing In the sea, and catching gllssaunes (youthful coal fish) by the hundred. And this done for ages; and people want to know who discovered or Introduced rod-fishing la the sea! Why, the practice Is as old as the bills, metaphorlaclly speaking per haps older than some hills. Fishing Gazette. The Bride and Groom. "The wedding ring completes the cir cle, typical as Is the ring Itself of the perpetuity of the compact," writes Mrs. Burton Kingsland In the Ladles' Home Journal. "Inside the ring always a plain gold one are engraved the Ini tials of bride and bridegroom, and the date of the marriage. It Is placed on the third finger of the left hand be cause of the fanciful conceit that from that finger a nerve goes straight to the heart. "Some say that the word 'obey' In the marriage service Is an anachronism and holds only those who choose to be bound, but American women do not often feel their chains. In some prov inces of Russia the bride's father gives her a little cut with a whip, which in strument of correction he then pre sents to the groom for future emergen cies. The kiss formerly given by the young husband to bis bride after the words, 'I pronounce you man and wife' for which so mony rehearsals were necessary has gone out of fash Ion. "It Is a time-honored observance of eddlng etiquette that the bride shall not be seen by the bridegroom on the fateful day until she appears coming up the aisle to meet him. Hence ths ustom of the bridegroom's waiting at the altar. The bridal procession Is for him not a pageant for the guests." Toujour lm lollleso. "During a reoent sharp skirmish," atya "The Sphere," "au English officer in South Africa noticed that one of his uus was in danger. Calling an otlloer to his side he requested hint to go and belp the captain to try and bring it In. 'Pardon,' he added, aa the officer tum id to obey, 'perhaps you do not know the captain,' The offloer had not the pleasure. 'I'll introduce you, then jlmrmlng follow,' said his lordship, iiul, regardless of bursting shells and puffs of dirt which marked the pitch f bullets all' around them, he can tvred along the hillside with him, 'Captain,' lie shouted, 'let me iutro luce my frtend.
