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-

we anneal to the voters in the various

in granting the district the privilege of
levying a sufficient tax to creditably

a wrong idea to attempt to curtail the

every district in this County can well
afford to pay an additional small tax for
school purposes. TIiobo who have no
