One of our citizens declares that he felt a distinct earthquake shock here early Monday morning in fact there were three shocks and only for the character of the person who made the statement to us we would he inclined to accept it with some degree of allowance, but coining from the source it doe we s.-e no other course than to believe all tiiat ia told us about earthquake schocks, real or imaginary. We experienced no shaking up at that time, but as a gen eral thing at an early hour in the morn ing we are pretty busy with winding up our affairs in dreamland. - We nave heard no corroborative testimony in re gard to the alleged shock, but take it for granted that there was one.

According to the best information, at hand, the lower Nehalem coal field Dromises to; supply Portland with an element of commercial success that has been lacking here cheap fuel. It ap pear that tiie coal is there, but it must lie brought to this city, and a railroad to the coal measures is necessary for this purpose. The development of an adequate coal supply so accessible to I'ortland would be a great factor in the growth of the town. We might wait for some beucvolent corporation to build such a road, but while we should bewail ing the world would go right along. Would it not be a good thing for Port land capitalists to put their hands in their pocket and build a road to the Nehalem ? Then we would get coal and we would also get access to a large area of excellent timber, the finest,' perhaps, that ia immediately tributary to Port land. Few enterprise would be of more benefit to this city than a railroad direct to the Nehalem Valley. Seattle built her own roads to coal mines, and has thriven upon them; why should not Portland also help herself ? Oregonian. Hitherto public Improvements in this city have been confined almost entirely to the improvement of streets, a very necessary and commendable thing, bnt there are other matters which demaud the attention of the City Council and the application of the public funds thereto. We have a splendid water sys tem and our streets and sidewalks are in very good condition, and the next mat ter of importance is that of a sewerage system for the town. We fully realize the conditions which confront the Coun cil in talcintr ii n this matter, but "where there's a will there's a woy," and for the health of the people ol the place miniiurv iniiirovenienta are now the burning question. The presence of the water system makes it not only possible but feasible, necessary and less expen- tva tn inaugurate a svstem of sewers. and the enforcement ot an ordinance which would necessarily be drawn and adopted requiring compliance in order to promote conditions of better health In nnr citv. The undertaking means the outlaying" of eome money, but funds ,.nil.l h Trwndd to no better mirnoee Citizens and Councilmen should alike vinw this Important matter and Jointly adopt some plan that can be success fully worked out. The health of the town demand thi improvement and we believe it to be the most important matter now before the people and the Council. Tho anlnndid nrmrreKB made in school matters in our County within the last few years is encouraging to that extent that greater life and interest is beins infused into the work in all portions ol the Countv. Money is the very essen tial element in adding further success to the work, and a the time arrives for levying special tax for school purposes we anneal to the voters in the various ditrwiia tn tnkn the matter unto iheuv nelves and carefully consider your duty in granting the district the privilege of levying a sufficient tax to creditably maintain your school. It is invariably a wrong idea to attempt to curtail the expenses of the school. Taxpayers in every district in this County can well afford to pay an additional small tax for school purposes. TIiobo who have no children of school age should not object tn this, and though their children may not have enjoyed these privileges, one i can readily see the necessity for pnblio ! institutions ot learning in every wide- awake, progressive neighborhood.- Itisl impossible now to furnish to our readers j the exact amount of assessable property i in every school district in the County, dm so soon us mo ?
