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

Metal Markets Ulsturh Serenity of ths
Trade Situation.
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

The pressors of heavy supplies is re

shown in the price of raw sugar this
week, while the re bued market n-
mains unchanged.

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

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. Mr. B., Captain A,
lie will lend you a hand to bring in
that gun; hope neither of yon will be
mocked over doing it. "Collier's

A SIGNIFICANT LETTER.
New York City, Feb. 15, 1000.
My Dear Carlton: I know it will
please you to learn that my homeward
journey Irom San Francisco was more
than pleasant. Oue striking feature
that added very much to my comfort
was the dining car service on the Rio
Grande Western aud the Deuver & Rio
Grande. This is the finest service of
this description I have ever seen anv-
where, either in this country or abroad;
the food and cooking was all that could
be desired, and at very moderate prices.
If you happen to know the Rio Grande
Western people, I wish you would say
to them that it will afford me the
greatest pleasure at all times to bear
testimony anywhere to the above mcts.
ery truly yours,
