to give him alarm for the safety of the
knee joint. Last week ho went to Port

means of the X-rav. Without dilliculty
the pellet of lead waa located and

city and assisted Pr. Panton to remove
the bullet. It was louml wnero located,

the reason why it waa not found when
the probe waa first used. The patient

Comparatively few persona realize
what an enormous business dairying
has come to be in tho United-States.
In this industry, as in so many others,
tula country beats the world. There
aro over seventeen million cowa giving
milk in the United Utates, and it takes
an army of over three honored thous
and men working from ten to twelve
hours daily to milk them. The aggregate
valuo of the produce of these dairy cows
exceeds 500,000,000 a year. They "pro
duce nearly a billion and a half pounds
ot butter, three hundred thousand
pounds of cheese and over two billion
gallons of milk yearly, for the Yankee

Mr. A. II . Tarboll, of Yankton, was
In Portland Monday looking after tho
machinery for his mill. The machinery
was expected to arrive, from the East
several days ago, but Some delay oc
curred. The frame of the mill is up and
the foundation for the machinery is
rcadv. The location of the mill ia at
the Junction of Baur Creek nnd Rennett
Creek, on the old Pope place. The ca
pacity of the mill will bo 20 000 feet
per day, the engine being flft.y-horso
power capacity. The establishment of
the mill at that point, if it is made a
successful enterprise, which there seems
little room for doubt hut what it will.he,
will furnish a market for much of tho
timber in that vicinity, which is con
siderable in extent and tl rat-class in
quality.

Thos. Tucker, who waa burned out
recently, began hauling lumber from
Smith Thomas' mill this week to re
build hia house. Mr. Tucker not only
lost his house and contents, and winter
supplies of flour and groceries, but had
two year'a wood- cut and stored in the
cellars, and also a lot of lumber, all of
which went up in the conflagration.
He says he has lost the accumulations
of twenty years, but is quite cheerful
about it, and says, "When a fellow has
got nothing, he must get out and hus
tle," and that's what he is doing.
Two timber cruisers for a Portland
firm have been in the woods down the
river, near Pittsburg, the past two
weeks, and are cruising near this place
this week. Three gentlemen from
Clatskanie passed through here Monday,
going to look at some timber lands at
the headwaters of Rock Creek, also, we
learn that the Michigan Milling Com
pany, who are operating somewhere on
the Lower Nehnlem, are contemplating
the bnilding of a short logging railroad
from Mist out to Rock Creek, so as to
;ot a lot of cedar to the river. So Ite
lalem timber lands are attracting a
small amount of attention still, but it
may be b. t. b. s. m. and end in noth
ing again. Meyer mind, the time will
come when our timber will be marketed
and at good prices, too. These hills are
tun ot tne very cnoioeat nr ana ceuar
trees and on Eaet Fork we have the coal,
and if prospectors will got into it away
from the outcroppings, the coal will be
all right in quality. Why do not some
of our entorprising Columbia County
citizens take in that prize olfered by the
Portland Chamber of Commerce? We
believe the right kind of coal can be
found by going into Mother Earth deep
enough to get out the black diamonds
which have not seen the sun or felt the
air during countless seasons, but are
now ready to do used by man to mate
power to turn the wheels of industry.

The Kind You Have Always Bought
NEED OF COAL.
The Portland Telegram's Editorial
Mtatementa ltegardlng It.
The man or company of men who will
discover a large bed of good coal, fit for
commercial purposes in the vicinity of
me iower Columbia Kiver, and will
develop it. or demonstrate that it is
such, will not only deserve to make a
goou-sizeu tortune oat ol it, so that they
can live in comfort the rest of their
lives, but may also enjoy the conscious
ness of having done something that will
greatly benefit millions of people.
That there are large coal deposits In
the Mehalem region is well known, and
that thorough investigation would prove
that they are valuable is suspected.
But this must be by demonstrations and
testa that require considerable labor and
capital. A big coal field la one of Ore
gon's great needs, in spite of its vast
forests. If we haven't it, we shall have
w got aiong witnouc it. isut it should
not be concluded that it does not exist
until this portion of the State is thor
oughly prospected and the known coal
formations tested.
Not many years ago the State of Wash
ington was coalless, so far aa the reports
of the geological surveyors showed, but
now domestic steamers are being sup
plied with coal mined in that State, al
most in sight of salt water.
It aeema a little strange that with all
its wealth of other minerals, and its
advantages in other respects, nature
should have treated the Pacific Coast so
niggardly in the matter of coal; but
there are aome coal mines on the Coast
and it may reasonably be hoped that
others will be discovered. At least the
coal south of the Lower Columbia Kiver
ought to be fully investigated.
We need coal; it may be here; the
necessity now ia for somebody to go
and dig it ont and make it known that
it ia of a quality that will do for large
commercial purposes.

Setting Hena In the Moon
"la there any difference whether hena
are aet in the light or dark of the moon 1
A neighbor aaya that eggs aet in the
liirhtotthe moon will hatch moat all
cockerels, while eggs set in the dark of
the moon will hatcn mostly an pniiets.
Says he has tried it many times, and
knows it to be so. Wiiat la yonr opin
ion?" These inquiries were sent by a
reader of the Tar Heel Poultrymen to
that journal, which replies: We know of
many people wno plant ail weir veget
ables and grain "in the moon" anil do
all their farming according to the changes
of the moon. In the light of the moon
they plant other things and do other
work. They kill hogs, cut timber, mate
atock, etc., according to the "signs of the
moon." One good old lady we knew
used to make her yeast in the light of
the moon, and would never make it any
other time. It ia strange what hold these
old superstitions have on many people.
The moon has nothing whatever to do
with setting hens or planting vegetables
or grain. We have experimented with
vegetables in this connection, ana Know
that there Is nothing at all in planting
"in the moon." It is the veriest non
sense, and has been so proved by intelli
gent farmers. The idea that the sex of
chickens In eggs under the hen is influ
enced in any way by tbe phases of the
moon ia simply ridiculous, aa wen aa im
possible. The best time to set bens ia
when you have the egga and the willing
hena to put them under, without any re
ference whatever to the moon.
