I)r. A. 0. Panton who It secretary of
the Great Northern Coal Company,
which baa 1080 acres of coal land in the
Upper Nehalein valley, takes exception
to the statement frequently made that
the coal of that auction contain too
much sulphur to be valuable, lie says
that the report of Professor J. S. Ihller,
of the United Htates geological sur
vey, on which the erroneous conclusion
was based, was on surface cropping
that, did not properly represent the
quality of the measures. (Surface water
bad dripped down and percolated
through the specimens Professor Oilier
gathered, thus accounting for the pres
ence of the. larira iinninriilni of unli.liiir
found by the government analyst. The
snalysis made for tbo company in Port
land do not show any sulphur, though
the ash Is reported to bo a red gray.
The prospectus issued by the company
recites that the improvement of the
property consists of . two tunuels, one
driven on a nine-foot and another on a
live and oim-linlf measure. The tunnels
are the whole distance of 2U0 feet in
solid coal of merchantable character.

The following article in regard to the
proposed Nidialcm railroads, taken from
Wednesday's Oregonian, will be of inter
est to a lariru number of our readers:
Three railroad enterprise are now
headed for the Nehalein country and Til
lamook bay one direct from Portland,
and one a branch of the Northern Pa
cific, which would take through traffic
around Portland. Tho discovery of good
coal in thick measures, the increased
demand in the East for the lumber that
I so abundant iu the valley, and grow
ing dairy Industry of the coast country
have drawn attention to tbat regional
a most promising one for railroad ex
ploiting aud development, and a race ia
on. Tlie tbrea routes compare in this
The Goble, Nehalem A Pacific, in it
first twenty-oue miles from tbe Colum
bia river, asceuds to an altitude of 1480
feet, and in the next aeven miles it de
scends 880 feet on a 2 iter cent grade to
the Nehalem river. The equated grade
for the twenty-eight miles is 2.2 per
cent. From tne point where it reaches
the Nehalem river to the Nehalem bay.
according to a survey made eleven year
ago by Henry Villard, the distance i
sixty-one miles, lollowing tne river, n
thi statement is correct, the distance
from Uoble to Nehalem bay i eighty
nine mile. Adding the thirty-nine
miles from tbe junction to Portland via
the Northern Pacific track, the total
distance from Portland to Nehalein bay
bv this route is 1Z8 miles, and all trattic
out of the Nehalein valley would have
to come up a 2 per cent grade to the
summit back of Uoble.
Tlie Portland. Nehalem Tillamook
Company i alleged to be tbe aucceasor
to all tho various survey made to that
country in 181M) and 1801. According to
those survey the distance irom rorttana
to the summit of tlie divide is 42 miles
and the highest elevation is only 1070
ret above the Union station in Portland.
Thirty-tao mile of thi distrnce i on a
grade ol ten to titty-two leet to tuo mne,
or less than 1 percent, and the remainder
iagpercont. from too summit down
to tlie Nehalem bay the distance is
thirty-seven miles aud the grade i 1 per
cent. Thu, over thi route all tho traf
fic of that country would come up a 1
ner cent erode to the summit and slide
down a grade tbe maximum of which
is 2 per cent into 1'ortlund. me total
length of thin line would be within eighty
miles.
The Northern Pacific's branch ia to
start from Bcappoose station, twenty
miles from Portland, and pas up the
north fork of tbe Scsppoose river four
teen miles on a 1 r cent grade, then
rise to a 2 per grade and run into a
mountain near Bunker hill, where a
tunnel mutt lie bored. From there to
Pittsburg, on the Nehalem river, six
mile above where the Uoble. Nehalein
A Pacific is to reach the stream, the de
scent will be on a 2 per cent grade, the
distance from Seappoose is not lest than
twenty-four miles, and from Pittsburg
to Nehalem bay, if it shall ever build
so far, the route is practically the tame
at that of the Goblo, Nehalem A Pacific
along the meauderings of the Nehalem
river. The distance from Portland to
Nehalem hay by this line would be 111
miles. It is said that tht Northern Pa
cific engineers are making an effort to
reduce tlie grade on the west side of the
divide by adding three and one-half
mile to the length of the line.
Scio ia not much of a town for rata,
iu fact, you hardly ever ee a rat within
tbe city limit; but one day last week
Kd Miller found that a quantity of
sugsr beets which he had in a bin in his
barn waa growing less every day, and
set about to get rid of the thieves. In
tills he was highly successful. He took
out some of his beets and fixed the bin
to that no rat could escape, and then
operations begun. In a few moments
the scene resembled a South African
battle field, and when time was called
and nosat were counted just an even 42
rats were found to have given up the
ghost. These he put in a bucket and
brought down town, where they attracted
attention, on all sides. Newa.

Short spew: lies upon tbe tubject by
Messrs. M. Haxou, John Dolan, C. w.
Adam, W. II. Powell and David Davi

The following resolutions were read
and adopted -.
Wiikkka, Tlie farming, dairying,
lumbering, and other industries of I his
section of Columbia county, in the vi
ciui'.v of Seappoose bay, demand u more
speedy and more convenient meant of
gaining access to the markets, and !
WiiKHKAt, A large section of country,
rich in agriculture, timber and other
natural resources, is affected by im
proper means of transportation and iu
development greatly embarrassed ; there
fore, be it
Bksolvkd, That congress be asked to
make an appropriation of fifteen hun
dred ($1500) dollars for tbe purpose of
dredging Seappoose bay and making
said bay navigable to small steam vessels.
Kkboi.vku. That some mean should
be devised whereby this appropriation
could be available at an early date.
Kkholvkd, That our representative!
in congress be urgently requested to
procure this appropriation from a source
to be available at once, if a means can
be devised whereby this can lie done.
Rkkolvko, Tbat a committee of three
persons be appointed by the chairman

litHoLvao, That the secretary of thie
meeting send a copy of these resolutions
together with a report of thie meeting
to each of our senator and representa

raTiTioK.
To the honorable senate and bouse of
representative of the United State of
America in congress assembled :
Your petitioners, residents and tax
payers, of Columbia county, Oregon,
residing in tbe vicinity of Seappoose
bay, recpcctfully represent to your hon
orable body that tho farming, dairying,
lumbering and other important indus
tries of this section of the state demand
better meant of commercial commun
ication with tbe markets of the Pacific
coast. At the present time transporta
tion of onr product! it inconvenient,
uncertain and eipensive. A bar near
the mouth of Seappoose bay prevents
water craft from entering said Seap
poose bay from the Willamette slough.
This bar extends a distance of about
four hundred (400) yards, excepting at
very high water during the June rise
of the Columbia river, the depth of
water on this bar ia from three (3) to
(our (4) feet. A torn of fifteen hun
dred ((1500) dollars, we believe, will be
an amount sufficient to pay for dredging
said bar and making Seappoose Day
navigable to small steam vessels.
Wherefore, your petitioners pray that
an appropriation of fifteen hundred
($1600) dollara be made for dredging
and improving Seappoose bay.
NEW COMPANY COMPLETE.
Organisation or Portland, Nehalem
A Tillamook Railroad.
At a meeting of the stockholder! of
the Portland. Nehalem A Tillamook
Railroad Company, held in Portland
last Saturday, 2!0,017 of the 20,917 shares
subscribed were represented and voted,
and the following directors were chosen:
Colonel John McCracken; George T.
Myers, H. L. Pittock, William Fliedner,
H. C. Campbell,, H. S. Rowe. John
Stewart, C. F. Fearaon and William
Riedt.
An adjournment was then taken till
evening, when the director! elected the
following officers:
President, Colouel John McCracken ;
vice president, George T. Myers, secre
tary and attorney, William Reidt.
The secretary and attorney was
authorized immediately to take op the
work of procuring rignta of way for a
railroad between Portland and Nehalem
aud Tillamook bay.
Tho control of the Southern Pacific
by Union Pacific interest! is regarded as
favorable for the project of a railroad to
Nehalem aud Tillamook. Hitherto it
has been impracticable to make any
arrangement with the Southern Pacific
for trackage into Portland, on account
of the hard terms exacted. Mr. Hunt
ington said the only terms would be full
local rates for all traffic delivered to its
line. It is expected that the change of
control will result in giving trackage
into Portland for the Nehalem train on
easy terms.
The difference between entoriug Port
land over tho Northern Pacific and the
Oregon A California tracks ia that the
Northern Pacific would carry traffic
around Portland, while the Oregon &
California could not bring it directly to
Portland. This might save the con
struction of iho twenty miles between
Portland and Hillsboro and alBO permit
tho use of ten miles of grade already
built between Hillsboro and the Neha
lem divide.
The claim of other cougli medicines to
be as good as ClimnlHirlain's are effect
ually set at reBt in the following testi
monial of Mr. C. I). Glass, an employe
of lisrtlrtt A Dennis Co., Gardiner, lie.
Ho said : "I had kept adding to a cold
and cough iu the winter of 1897, trying
every cough medicine I hoard of. ithout
permanent help , until one day I was iu
the drug store of Mr. Houlehan and he
advised me to try Chamberlain's Cougli
Remedy anil ollercd to pay buck my
money if I wa not cured. My lungs
and bronchial tnbea were very sore at
this time, but I was completely cured
