CLACKAMAS COUNTY HOLDS
ENORMOUS DEPOSITS OF EINE
BITUMINOUS COAL.
Great Veins Have Been Discovered In
thd Cascade of Finest Quality.
No county in the world probably holds
within its borders a richer deposit of
mineral wealth than old Clackamas. In
addition to her wonderful water oower,
her swift flow ing rivers, her magnificent
forests and endless agricultural resources
she has mineral wealth so abundant that
half of the world could be enriched from
ber untouched mines. ' Last week there
was uncovered near Table Rock by F.
0. Bar s tow a vein of bituminous coal as
fine as can be found in the land. The
vein ie from six to ten feet thick and
has every indication of being permanent
and lasting. The coal is of the very
finest grade of bituminous coals and will
run over ninety-five per cent pure car
bon and will evidently make fine coke
ing coal. This discovery was followed
up by Mr. Barstow and on Monday he
filed on a claim of 160 acres and will as
soon as he gets bis title in shape take
proper steps to develop bis claim. It
seems from many Indications cropping
out that miles and miles of the foothill
of the Cascade mountaina are underlaid
with this fine body of coal. Being so
near to the city of Portland and so near
to the sreat ports of the Northwest
where all of the great steamers and war
ships that play around the Horn and
acioss the blue waters of the Pacific
the time will no doubt soon come when
this coal will find and abundant and
readv market at a fair price and then
one of the greatest industries of the Pa
cific Northwest will come into life,
Clackamas county will yet wake from
her lethargy and be what sue outrtit to
be. the leading county on the Pacific
coaBt.

Rastus Smith, the young man from
this city who is Btudying at McMinnville
College with the object of becoming
Baptist preacher, has got himself into a
bushel of trouble. When bis oration or
essay came out a few days ago, which
gave him the medal in the annual inter
collegiate oratorical contest, bis friends
wondered. It was a remarkable pro
duction for a person of bis years and op
portunities for culture. But Rabbi Wise
of Portland, noted its resemblance to
the lecture of Senator Zebulon Baird
Vance on "The Scattered Nation" and
the "deadly parallel'' revealed that a
large portion , ol Smith's address had
been cribbed from the first part of it, in
short that if all which emanated .from
Vance were eliminated irom Smith's
oration it would remain a nearly flesh-
less skeleton. The intercollegiate as
sociation.being worthy,has convicted the
trangressor of " gross and culpable care
lessness," and barred McMinnville col-
lece from participation in the next an
nual contest. All this academic runiptiB
cives Rastus a great deal of advertising
