About HOO0 will be Iteallaed Ontaiandlne; Warrant Called In. -All It It very tafe to assert that perhap no county In the Hate ha proceeded to nearly according to law In regard to the tale of landt for delinquent tuxet at ha Columbia, and the tnterett taken in the matter by outldermen of meant and Judgment demonttrate that faith i not lout in the law, and men are willing to risk money In the affair. Another ttatement which cannot be contradicted it the diet that in no other county hat the dictate of the law been more min utely observed and executed in the mntter of the inle than here, in fact, in tome reapecta the county hat gone paat tha dictate of the law and don more than wat required, but It wat all on the tafe tide and much financial benefit ha retuited, at well a tatUfytng the full demand of the atatute. Hberlir Hnttan began promptly at 10 o'clock on Monday to offer for lale all landt on which the county held alien for unpaid tax. The number of bidder, quantity of caah and extent of confidence were all large, and a piece by piece the property wa oilered, It wa at readily taken in by tome party willing to pay alinott the value of the property. A great deal of the property aold for many time the amount of the linn againat it. Of court tome of the parctlt told for much lea than the amount of the Hen agnlntt it, but collectively the county ia much the gainer in the matter. , ' The flrat day' sale amounted to nearly M.400, (2,500 of which amount wa paid on the apot, and checkt for the remainder have tince arrived. Tuee diiy'a tale did not have quite to good an effect on the county' exchecquer, but tb aale amounted to 12000. The county will realize about $8,000 out of the tale, which wipe the county dent out of exittence, a will be teen by a notice by the county treasurer in an other place in tliia paper, that all out landing county warrant -which have been pretentod and endorsed "Not Paid for Want of Fund," will lie paid upon presentation to that official. Tliia in formation ought to be received with great applauae by the people of the county. It it the flrat time in fifteen year, perhap longer, that the county bat been able to meet it obligation on demand with caah. There i about $0,000 on the current roll yt to be collected, all of which will have been taken care of by the laat of Heptemlier, at which time the temian nual ollicial itatement will thow cab on hand to pay warrant when pre sented. .

Uandred Foot Tunnel Being Driven on Hcappoose Creek. There are most excellent prospecU at hand that a good quality of coal in aufll- cient quantities to supply local demands will soon be opened up at a place easy of accent. There has been a great deal said about the coal cropping! on Scap- poose creek, but no genuine euort to oe termine its quality or extent ha been made until now, when a force of hand ha been eraoioved and nut to work to drive a tunnel 100 feet or more on a ledice of turf ace cropplnirs ararefcatinic several feet. A sample of the coal, weighing about twenty-five pound, wa taken to Portland Tuesday, where an assay wet made, showing 40.08 percent carbon, with but a slight trace of sul phur. It I lignite or light-weight coal, and the report of the ascayer, who ia connected with the Montana Metal ogical Work, that the coal ha much commercial value, ha stimulated an effort to search for a large body of the mineral, which it Is geuerally supposed. and logically enough, too, exisU in the vicinity ol where prospect wore ie now being done.

One of the most important real es tate deals of recent years, not alone by reason of the valuable property In volved and the large consideration, but more especially by reason of Its signifi cant railroad and commercial bearings, has been concluded, it is authoratively reported, in the interest of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, The prop erty to be acquired by this company, for the better accommodation of it own traffic, ia the Weidler mill property on the watar front in North Portland. The price 1 understood to be 1236,000. The property i owned by the Willam ette Steam Mill Lumbering & Manu facturing Company, though It i popu larly called Weidler't mill, from George W. Weidler, who ha been identified with it for nearly thirty year. It con sists of four full blocks and five frac tional blocks, where Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Quim by, Raleigh, Savier and Thurman streeU meet at the Northern Pacific track on Front street. In addition, there i a tract to the east oi the nine full and fractional blocks, extending from the foot of Raleigh street to the foot of Fourteenth street. This piece. 1 1000 feet long, thus enabling the railroad company to nse the block for terminal facilities, and the water front for docks. The neighborhood i manufacturing In character. Near by are the mills of the Eastern, Western and North Pacific Lumber Companies, and the plants of several other industrial enterprises. A short distance to the south ia the Grand Central station, and the terminal irrounds. in which the Northern i fointly interested with the O. R. N. and the Southern Pacific, a the lessee of the Oregon A California. The Weidler prop erty give the Northern ample room for terminal facilities of iU own, and make it quite independent of the commercial terminal facilities. The acquisition of this property by the. Northern raclttc company meane the earlv construction of extensive dock and wharves and the placing of the com pany upon an equal looting with tne southern ana v. n. at n. iuuipHiuci iu the matter of traffic equipment and ter minal facilities.
