The Portland Board of Trade ha
Anally awakened to the necessity of ob
taining cheno fuel for that citv. In
viuw of the importance of having cheaper
fuel a atrenuou effort 1 to be made to
locate, if possible, a vein of coal ot cer
tain site and duality within fifty mile
of that city, and to such an end, as an
inducement, a reward of $aW la offered
for aiich a discovery. The requirement
are for the discovery of a vein of coal, of
not less than tour feet, and the coal to be
of average quality, within 60 mile of
Portland. This will stimulate the in
terest of tlmbermen. and cruisers, and
will no doubt load to some discovery of
conl within easy railroad access of Port
land. Tina reward is limited tome
State of Oregon. There are numerou
reported discoverle of coal, but it seems
that no particular effort has been made
to ascertain the quality or extent of the
product. It is well, however, that Port
land has awakened to the necessity of
cheap fuel. Manufacturing cannot be
profitably pursued there unloBS cheap
fuel can be obtained. We believe there
Is an abundance of good coal in this
County, and invite Portland capitalists
to tnorougniy investigate tne coui ue

"Astoria will never be a good business

ha taken thousand of dollar ont of
the city. Astoria waa far better off and
did more business before a railroad wa
built than it has done since. Hun
dreds of people have visited the (tract
carnival in Portland the past week and
pent thousand of dollars. The people
of Altoria who visited Portland thla

There 1 a man in this County who
work pretty cunning game on hi

asks him anything about the farm be
refers them to one of the bovs. remark'
Ing that he don't keep much track of
things, aa the boy seem to have a
knack of doing things better than he
ever did. Those boy are just the aver

School began Monday morning with
104 pupils in attendance. Many new
faces were among them and it is feared
when all get in our school will he more
crowded than ever,
W. II. Fouts has moved into hia new
house. It cannot be said to be finished
by a long ways, but the family had to
move, ana win try to complete tne
building while tbey occupy it.
John E. Dubois, a wealthy lumber
man of Pennsylvania, spent a few hours
in town Monday accompanied by his
wife, on their return from a trip in
Upper Nehalem Valley, where they
were accompanied by U. It. Wheeler.
W. 8. Miller and wife started Monday
evening for a trip East, rather intending
to go, as far as Boston and to remain
some three or four weeks. They wish
to revive the associations of early years
and note some of the changes that have
been taking place.
John and August Palm each had the
misfortune to lose a good horse a few
daya ago. The animals got too curious
to see' the world, broke out from the
enclosure where they were kept and got
on the railroad track, where they were
killed. John's family are particularly
grieved over the loss of tbeir horse,
which waa a very gentle and excellent
family animal. Horses, like young
people, should not be too anxious to get
away trom nome.
The Teachers' Institute last week
proved a very enjoyable occasion and
wa favorably commented on by both
teacher and citizens. A number of our
people were present at the different
sessions, getting an opportunity to
brush do on history, grammar, eta.
and found that improvements in meth
ods of teaching had made these branches
much more interesting than in their
early days. A publio lecture each even
ing, preceuea oy orcnestrai music ana
recitation usually, added interest and
profit to the exercises. Prof. Durrette,
of Portland, proved himself a very able
lecturer as well as an instructor, while
Miss llargrav as instructor in primary
work, was competent and gave many
excellent ideas that would prove help
ful in school work. The evening lecture
by Rev. Dr. Kellogg on Wednesday was
thrilling and a very impressive one, not
naailv fnrsotten and capable of great
good in inspiring his audience to honest
and best efforts in life. Friday evening
the teachers and publio were given a re
oention and entertainment, consisting of
music, recitations, remarks, etc., at
Oonyors' hall, where an excellent pro
