To Tst 0 iwon Coai.. A letter from
S. 11. Uruber, of Ht. Helena, addressed
to Secretary Miller, of the board of
trade, states that coal is being taken
out of the Clitr A Dalton mines, near
tit. Ilelons, and that snlllcient amount
will be mined by the Knit of next week
to make practical test of its steam
making qualities on one of the Colum
bia river steamboat, which ha been
arranged for. He says that they have a
vein of four feet of solid coal, and thore
are other smaller veins, but between
these there are softer coal formations.
He sent down lump of coal a few days
ago, and it ia now on exhibition in tiie
window of the Horticultural and Min
lug Exhibit building, on Washington
Ifm.1 Tim In inn on exhibition is a
foot in width and a half foot In thick

no interest in the matter himself, except
the development of thi section of the

Coal Madk Uood Fiwe. On Wednes
day there waa a thorough teat made of
the con I from the CHIT and Dalton pros
pect, back of Warren, a to it steam
producing qualities, and the result waa
moat satisfactory. This teat was made
by the steamer America, her flro box
having been arranged to burn coal in
stead of wood, and Engineer Charley
Thompson, of that boat, Informed the
writer tiiat the coal produced ail the
team the engine could utilise, and
when proerly arranged for the round
trip could easily be made on two tons of
coal. The proximity of the coal to
transportation would enable the article
to be laid down here at a cost of about
$3 a ton, which would mean exceedingly
cheap fuel for not only manufHCturlng
puriose. but also for domestic use.
The quality of the article now having
been proven beyond uouut to be all that
la required, the Important thing is to
ascertain the extent to which the coat
exists in that vicinity. I'rospect work
is being prosecuted to some considera
ble extent in other places, near the C I i tr
illion nrosiiects, and the operator
vein extremely sanguine as to the favor
able result of their labor.

Licinhk Dm Not last). The majority
of the legal voter of Bcappoose pre
cinct did not or do not now want a sa
loon up there, anil by reference to the
ctmimfasioners' proceedings it will be
seen that there is to be no grog shop up
there, for the present, at least. A great
many people of that precinct always
reinonetraUtl against the existence of
ucb a business enterprise in their
midst, and tills element had their in
nings In court last Friday and won out
with hand down. Aside from the fact
that there were more remonstrators
than petitioner it ia most likely the pe
tition would have been knocked out by
teclmicalitie and some very serious
fault of the petition as printed. Any
how, our friends at Bcappoose will have
to go elsewhere for a time, at least, to
wet their whistleN. The majority said
nay, and that settle it.
