The annual bnr,r by the ladle of
the Episcopal church of thi city, after
being conducted two night, was brought
to a close last Friday evening, the occa

sucees. In every particular socially and
financially. The three booths were con
ducted this year by the same ladies under
whose charge their ailHirs were admin
istered heretofore, Mr. Clilf aud Miss
Miles at the fancy work booth, Mrs.
Davis uud Mis. Whitney at the candy
booth, and Mrs. HwiUer, Mrt.Oeorgeand
Mrs. Cox at the refreshment booth.
Those attending each evening were
pleasantly entertained by recitation.,
tinging and reading. The milling of the
dolls the last evening was the principal
feature of excitement, Master Hay Watt
winning the brunette doll and Little
Mis. Mary Robinson winning the blonde.
Mr.. Daggett, of Houlton, was fortu
nate in capturing the sofa pillow made
and rallied by Miss M.iy Whitney.
Nearly $00 wns realized from the sale
of articles, which amount is to be need

wish to particularly thank all who ren
dered assistance in any way.

The Methodist Church building re

about $1400, and ia a substantial and
creditable structure. The ceremonies
throughout the day were conducted by
liisliou Karl Cranston, wlio delivered
sermon in the forenoon and a very enter
taining lecture on the subject "China."

Itvfore the building could bo dedicated
it wa necessary to ra te about i-kai,
which was made up before the dedica
tory ceremony took place in the evening.
A special programme of vocal music of
appropriate hymns and anthem was
rendered, wnicn auueu l merest w rue

cation of this building makes the third
church building in the city, all free from
debt, any oue of which would be a credit

Portland Seems Determine to In
Ti(lrau the Matter.
What is Portland going to do about
bringing Nehalem coal in here by rail?
Bcveral men ol good Judgment and re
sponsibility, notably State Senator i ul'
ton, vouch lor the excellent quality ol
the coal, and Mr. Hammond, It will be
remembered, once offered to build the
railroad provided certain concessions
were made hira. The assertion has been
made perhaps it is exuberated nome
what that the difference In cost be
tween a visit to Poget Bound and one to
the Columbia River, growing out ol the
price ol coal at the two place, is, to
a trana-l'acific steamship, 1600. These
figure could be shaved down, and still
leave a margin ol great Incentive to the
development and delivery ol cheap coal
lot Portland. It is evident that the
project is getting attention in railroad
circles, and it may yet be carried out by
some existing railroad company. But
ii it is not, then Portland must iteell
investigate the Lower Nclmlem coal, and
il its quantity and quality prove as al
leged, open the mine and build the
railroad. Mr. George T. Myers recently
offered 26 to start a subscription to get
help along the coal problem if we are
urn we have found the right coal. It
will take something like 1, 600,000 to
build the railroad. Portland can raise j
this amount in subscriptions to stock. !
easily, II some experineed railroad
builder is put in charge ol the work and
if the scheme is promoted with some
thing ol the vim and dctertination
our good friend Dan McAllen has
shown in the matter ol a World's Fair.
The little city of Salem has refunded
its debt in 4 per cent call bonds, all
taken bv it own residents. Certainly
Portland can float $1,600,000 in railroad
bonds to bring coal in here aud estab
lish iinpregnably the city's commercial
and manufacturing supremacy, it Is
the purpose of the Oregoman to pursue
its inventiuation ol the coal problem,
and it invites the aid and co-operation
of any who are qualified to assist. Ore
