About a month ago the young man fell from a footing across Cow eeman river, striking on the solid bed rock of the river, sustaining a (racture of one wrist and serious injuries to his head. He was supposed to have been recovering from the effects of his injur ies, and was able to be up and around, but a reaction took place about two days before his death. Over at Kelso, In Washington, ome citizen has demanded the observance of law and the doors of the three saloons were locked on Nunday. Speaking of the matter, the Kelso Journal remarks thusly; "Kelso people are no worse, no better than their neighbors ; a holi day once In seven would be acceptable to all of them if universal, but they do most seriously object to being forced to keep holiday one day in the week while rival towns' are allowed to keep open and rob them of trade to the amount of six or seven hundred dollars, which Is about the average sum expended among our merchants every Sunday, leaving out' the saloon." Tho supposition that some Individual or aggregation of individual were wait ing for an opportunity for a "graft" be fore starting work on the improvement of Clatakanie River, is now dispelled by tho report of Captain Langfltt, who has the supervision of the river and harbor improvement work. The delay is caused through the inability of the tioverment to procure title to certain lands in that vicinity. An extract from the Captain' report published in the Oregonian a few day ago. aet the matter right before the people. "Although there is a bal ance of (12,hVS0 available for improving the Clatxkauie, nothing was done during July.

AN UNFA VOllABI.K BEPOliT. "Dundee" Held Haya Upper NenaJem Coal la of l'oor Quality. Just upon the heels of a most favorable report on the Upper Nehalem coal, sub mitted to the Portlund Chamber of Com merce by Mr. C. I. McKenna, a repre sentative of that body sent out for the special purpose of examining all the coal deposits throughout all the vast territory drained by the Nehalem river. comes Mr, Reid and attempts to dis courage the building of a rood to what is known as tlie rouble ureok coal neiiis. We do not believe all we hear or read, but we do have considerable fulth in Mr. McKenna's report, and very little faith in Mr. Rcld's report. We do not contend that the Pebble Creek coal Is superior to any other, but we do be lieve It to tie of sufficient good quality to warrant its being tranported to mar ket. There have been dozens of tests made of the coal by experts, and all renounce it good steaming coal. Port und must have coal in order to become the extensive manufacturing center it deserves to be, and to dally, with the reports of people who go and merely ex amine the outcroppings of the coal de posits Is absurd. Without reflection upon Mr. McKenna. practical, intelli gent coal miners ana experts should be sent on such missions, supplied with sufficient materials and assistance to enablo them to make a thorough test and examination.

In the annual report blanks sent out by State School Superintendent Acker man for the use of County Superintend ents, there is a page left for recommend ations and suggestions. While there are few persons better qualified to ex press the needs of the common schools than men who have had practical ex nerience in the country and town schools, and who have aerved as County Superintendents, It 1 noticeable that but few of the Superintendents have anything to offer in the way of "recom- menaaiions anu suggestions. iu Legislative year thi feature of the an nual renorta ia of special importance. and wilt form an interesting part of the State Superintendent's biennial report to the Legislature. SuperintendentCope land. in his report, said : "There are a number of minor defects In our present school law that will, no doubt, be rem edied by the meeting of our next State Legislature. I believe, however, that the most important need of our rural schools i better supervision. The qual ifications exacted from every one aspir ing to the office of School Superntend ent should be such as would bar out all but able educators. Then ihe Superin tendent should have more than simple advisory authority in controlling and directing the schools of bis County, and snouia oe required io aevoisau mo time to the work.

Hade Necessary for Protection from Higu Kate of Slate Tax. The action of the Assessors of Mult nomah and other Willamette Valley Counties in assessing the property of ineir uihixicib hi. k iuw vBiunuvi, una resulted in other Counties making a similar cut in the assessment rate as a matter of protection. In commenting upon tills fact the Portland Telegram says: Xlie assessment oi umuuua County foots up about $1,200,000 less than It aid last year, unuer uie snme Assessor. This does not indicate thut the property of that County has depre ciated in value, but that i.Un Umatilla County Assessor is going to follow the example set in Multnomah and some other Counties, and cut down his figures, that bis County will not Have to pay so great a proportion of the State tax as formerly. So it will be. all along the line, and the result will be a very small allowing of property in Oregon, and an exceedingly high rate of taxation. This iooks uau on us mce w iiuuiig,aii onu inquiring visitors, but if, as claimed, it tends to Keep uown expenditures, u may be justifiable. Taxation is a prob lem that we seem to come no nearer solv ing than our fathers or grandfathers did indeed, It is doubtful if we do not make a worse muuuie oi it man mey did." The assessment roll for Colum bia County is not yet completed, but it ia thought by Assessor White that an increase over last year of about $30,000 will be shown. Mr. White is of the opinion, however, that the County lioaru 01 .equalization win rawer iub values in order to escape the excessive rate of State tax, a course pursued by manv Counties of the State. This con dition of affuirs arises through the non existence of a State Board oi Equaliza tion. Mr. Charlei McCauley and Miss Mary MagiM, of Keasey, were married at the parlors of the Oriental Hotel, in this city Wednesday evening, by Justice Cox. An extensive vein of coal has been discovered near Knappa, in Clatsop County, and a company of business men of Astoria has been organized to develop the prospect. Speaking of the matter the Astorian says: "If the en terprise proves a success, of which there is every indication, the promoters argue that it means more to Astoria than would the construction of half a dozen new railway lines about the mouth of the Columbia. Shipping goo where the cheapest fuel can be obtained. The representatives of the Knappa Coal Company are satisfied that they have an abundant quantity of good coal right on the line of the A. & C. railway and close to the water's edge." .
