EBULT OF RECENT EXPERIMENTS Why Eflorta to Build a Railroad to the Upper Fields Had to Be Abandoned. Tha report on the coal deposits of the Nehalem region published in The Orego nian ot August 21. was from the United States Geological Surveys, and was made by Professor DIHer, from 1895, the la3t official report on this subject. Several valuable coal discoveries have been made in that region since. Professor Diller found only one coal vein of 22 inches in the Lower Nehalem coal bed. C. F. Pearson informs The Oregonlan that in 1S96 he opened up another vein of 40 Inches and drilled through a four foot, 9-inch rein of coal of superior qual ity. He says: "A well-known mining engineer of good repute from "Washington has examined these localities carefully and made a conservative estimate on the amount of coal to be mined on a 1000-acre tract, which he estimates to be 10,000.000 short tons, which can be carried away either by sea or railway. If by railway, $0 miles to Portland, if by 8ea to San Francisco, 600 miles, as against 850 miles from San Fran cisco to Seattle. Tho difference between the upper and lower Nehalem coal Is that the lower Nehalem coal does not disintegrate by exposure to the elements and It contains very little sulphur, if any, and, being high in fixed carbon and low in mois ture and ash, makes it a very desirable coal for all economical purposes. "The United State Geological Surveyor says the quality of the coal Is good. This statement he failed to give on the npp.er Nehalem coal. That this state ment Is true, separate analyses from New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Port land demonstrate. These analyses aver age as follows: Fixed carbon, 53.20 per cent; combustible gates, 30.30 per cent; water, 13.80 per cent; ash, 2.50 per cent." A correspondent, who has Interests in the timber and mines of the Nehalem, suggests that the report of the expert sent by the Chamber of Commerce to spend "one week" in examining the coal beds of that region cannot be of much value, although his report enumerates many localities visited. Ho says the exposed coal veins of the Nehalem Valley cannot be mined profit ably of themselves, and they only Indi cate the possibility of better quality and larger veins being found at lower levels. He' suggests that a few Interested per sons meet and Incorporate a company with sufficient capital to cover the cost of borings with diamond drills, and the cores secured will demonstrate whether working operations will pay or not. Such borings of course should be made under the direction and supervision of a ckllled person of established reputation, whose judgment would be final, whether favorable or unfavorable. If they were satisfactory, capital could readily bo se cured to develop the mines. In this connection. "William Reld writes to The Oregonlan: "Referring to your well-timed editorial as to the coal of the Nehalem. in which you say information should be procured thoreon. pardon me offering my experi ence. No man would be more financially benefited than I if the coals of the upper Nohalem should prove a. success, because no other individual has spent so much money and labor as I did upon Its devel opment. But, although promised by in fluential capitalists twice, (after my re turn to Oregon last year) the money to build a 4G-mlle railway direct from Port land to these, coal beds (If proved a suc cess'), the -project bad to be abandoned after considerable money previously spent on railroad surveys thereto. "Why? Be cause of the great preponderance of sul phur I per cent therein against 14 of 1 per oent sulphur In Scotch coal. This wast found (4 per cent) by three separate tests one at the United States Geological Sur vey Office, "Washington (see report for 1SS6; second, another made at the Min ing fnlvcrslty, Glasgow, Scotland, last year, and a third made at the coal mines of Lancashire, in England, also in 1S99. "The upper Nehalem coal veins are very large 6 to 9 feet and the quantity there is boyond any question, but, on ac count of the poor quality and sulphur predominating, these coals would not re pev the cost of mining, placing In the railroad cars and transportation to Port land. "We tried an American patent pro cess to take the sulphur out, which re quired throo and one-half tons ot coal to make one ton of coke, and the cost was enormous. "Two months aso I examined at lower Nohalm Bay a much superior coal to anything else on Puget Sound, with only 3i "per ooat sulphur, requiring a railway of J miles to carry It to Portland, but as F L McKenna. the representative of the Portland Board of Trade, also ex amined that Nehalem Bay coal last week. I will leave him to say whether it is worthy of closer investigation." Harvestlnir the Flax Crop.

WANT TO TRADE HERE. Coos Bay People Need a Railroad or Better Steamer Service. J. O. Bingham, who has been connected with the Beaver Coal Company, at Marshfleld for the past three years, is at the Imperial, accompanied by his family. He thinks Coos County Is suf fering for lack of close communication with Portland, and that this city is also losing considerable trade that really be longs here by neglecting to take ad vantage of Its opportunities. "The people of Coos," Mr. Bingham said yesterday, "prefer to deal in Portland Instead of San Francisco, but the latter city has three steamers a week plying along tho Oregon Coast, while Portland has one every three weeks. Time, distance and political affiliations are in Portland's faVor, but better means of transit have thus far developed the trade with Cal ifornia. "Of course, San Francisco takes all Coos County's coal and lumber, and so fruit and dairy products go with It, but if Portland had a weekly line of steamers to Marshfleld she would supply the coast merchants with all they need, even though the bulk of Coos County's products should continue to go southward. Unless, however, Portland bestirs herself to se cure tho trade, it will continue to go to San Francisco, because tho railroad from Marshfleld to Myrtle Point and the coal mines are owned by San Francisco people, who have no interest in Port land. Should the railroad be extended from Myrtle Point to Roseburg, as sur veyed, this city would then regain the bulk of the trade, because Coos County would be one day nearer Portland than San Francisco, and orders could be filled more quickly and at less expense by Port land merchants." Coos County coal, he says, can be laid down In Portland by tho cargo at 54 a ton, and nut coal or screenings for 53. This coal Is lignite, very clean to handle, and would be cheaper than wood for heating and steam-making, but would not do for welding. San 'Francisco uses a great deal of this coal, but the supply is Inexhaustible. The principal obstacle In tho way of Its use here, he thinks, would bo the trifling expense of changing the burners from wood to coal. The main mines of Coos County are, however, shut down for the present, ow ing to litigation between J. H. Graham, the former owner, and J. D. and Adolph Spreckels, of San Francisco. But one mine is now in operation, that of the California & Oregon, which employs about 300 men, 12 miles southeast of Marshfleld. Tills mine, however, does not benefit Marshfleld very much, as Goodall, Perkins & Co., the owners, mo nopolize all the trado of the hands, hav ing company stores to supply everything that is needed. A gravity tramway from tho mine enables tho easy shipment of coal from the mquth of the tunnel to tho hatches of the vessels lying at Marsh fleld's docks. During his three years' stay at Marsh fleld. Mr. Bingham found It a very pleas ant place to live. The climate Is delight ful, both "Winter and Summer, while hunting, fishing and sailing can be en joyed during tho greater portion of the year. "Its isolation Is all that works against it," he said, "as we have to wait two days to obtain the Portland papers and three days for those from San Fran cisco. A telegraph and telephone, how ever, are in operation, and we can hear directly from the Oregon metropolis on special occasions." Mr. Bingham and family will not return to Coos County, but will make their permanent abode In Portland, where Mr. Bingham is well known as a former resident. PORTLAND CONTRACTOR DEAD Charles A. Bullen, Bridge Builder,' Expires From Heart Diseased - PUEBLO. Aug. 28. A telegram received today at tho head office of the Bullen Bridge Company, in Pueblo, states that Charles A. Bullen, vice-president of that company, died of heart disease at Glen dlve, Mont., at S o'clock this morning. He was one of the best-known bridge con tractors in the "West, and did considerable work In Alaska about a year ago. Me was born in Leavenworth. Kan., 41 years ago. and came to Trinidad. Colo., lnftSSS. From 1S90 to 1S94 he resided in Pueblo, and for the last few years had made his home at Portland, Or., where he left a widow and four children. Mr. Bullen had been a resident of Port land for about four years. His family are now at the seaside. IMPROVED SERVICE TO AND FROM ILWACO. Read the O.

FOR ELKS' CARNIVAL AT LITTLE PRICES (HHMMIXH OUR TROUF IN ENGLAND ENTHUSIASTIC PRAISE FOR THE BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW. . New Animals in Old Countries The Carp a Pent in the Enst, ns Well as in. Oregon. In connection with the introduction Into Oregon of the Mongolian pheasant, the English partridge, the British spariow, the skylark, staning and various thrushes, nnches, etc., in the way of birds, and the shad, carp, catfish and black bass in the way of fish, an article in the Quar terly Review for July entitled, "New Creatures for Old Countries," will be of Interest to many. The writer says: "Animal acclimatization in Europe Is now mainly sentimental or Is carried out in the Interests of sport or the pictur esque. It does not pay and is not prac tical to Import and adopt foreign creat ures which rarely have the qualities we seek ready made. It may be possible to find a few more birds which would at onco take a place among our domestic poultry, but n the 70 years since the Royal Zoological Society Was founded 'to promote the permanent domestication of animals which might become of value to man," practically only one wild species the ostrich has been reclaimed and ac climatized with commercial success. "Experiments in introducing wild ani mals for pleasure or sport have of late been made on a scale never before at tempted and with surprising results. Some 14 species of foreign deer, wild an telopes, gazelles, kangaroos, wild sheep, Japanese apes, beavers, bison, zebras, brilliant pheasants from India and China, water birds and Oriental partridges. American trout and char and American rodents, as prairie dogs and cavles, are now living In France or England in a wild and natural state." A description of several parks or "par adises" into which foreign animals have been successfully introduced on a large scale follows, the largest existing collec tion being that of the Duke of Bedford at Woburn Abbey. Nearly every species of deer, except tho reindeer, which cannot exist in English parks, are to be found at "Woburn. Great, too, Is the collection of birds, swans, pheasants, wild turkeys and geese, and many other rare and beautiful birds. The writer goes on to say that the chief aim of acclimatization Is not to substi tute a foreign animal for an equally sat isfactory native one, but where and If it Is possible to fill up gaps In the home supply by good things from elsewhere. Another object Is to replace an Inferior native species by something lncontestabiy better from abroad, but natural selection does its work so thoroughly that this Is rarely possible. "The nearest approximation to a real Improvement on theso lines ever made in England," says the writer, "is quite re cent, and so promising that it may now bo fairly regarded as out of the trial stage. The new arrival Is a flsh the rainbow trout. It has a pretty name and a not less beautiful appearance. On the strength of "handsome Is that hand some does,' it deserves every word of praise that can bo found In the diction ary." The writer of the article is evidently an enthusiastic fisherman, for he devotes more space to the rainbow trout than to any other animal mentioned In his effort to exhaust the merits of this beautiful native of the Pacific Coast streams. "It Is hatched in millions yearly In that country- The best managed hatcheries aro mainly dovoted to its production. -The United States Fishery Commission first discovered and appreciated the excel lences which make this flsh the 'universal trout,' or something very like it, for all temperate waters." Then follows a glowing description of the flsh and a comparison with the native brown trout, which It Is not intended to supplant, but to supplement. In con- j eluding, the writer says: "Clearly this Is a flsh everyone would like to possess. The flesh In condition is a flno pink. By good luck Its habits are such as to make It welcome to those on whose wishes its continuance depends. In the first place, It Is very fond of eating, or, as fishermen say, a 'free riser.' Whatever the weather may be, rainbow trout are always or nearly always hungry. "When they are falr-slscd fry they are equally voracious, consequently, if well supplied with food they grow faster than the brown trout, and they rise far more readily to the fly. "When hooked, they fight as gamely as the native trout, are. If anything, bet ter to eat, and more handsome to look upon." In order fully to understand and appre ciate the merits and beauty or the rain bow trout, the writer of the foregoing should spend a holiday on tho McKenzie River with Captain George Frlzzell when the helgramlte fly is out, and compare it with the cutthroat and the Dolly Varden. "While on the subject of introduced game and fish, the following tribute to hoggish carp, an imported pest, Is quoted from tho New Tork Sun to show that It is a. nuisance in the East, as well as In Ore gon: "For several years the New Jersey Flsh and Game Commission has been hoping to rid" the Passaic River above Paterson of tho German carp, which have made the stream uninhabitable for other fish.

He did not know what he was up against. He knew that there was a lively market for live carp among the orthodox Hebrews of this and other cities and saw In his mind 10 cents a pound gross for the big flsh, but quickly abandoned tho scheme of catch ing them when he learned bf the difficul ties in the way. It was not like seining fish' In the lakes. The carp burrowed under bank's and roots, and there were several 'fasts' in every haul. So he gave up the contract and slunk away, to be heard of no more. "Carp, from flngerllngs up to 25 pounds In weight, infest the quiet reaches of tho Passaic between the head of the falls and the two bridges above Singac, and above the reef at that point they revel In tho slack water flowing through the long stretches of meadows. They keep the water constantly riled by grubbing under the banks and rooting in the muddy bottom for vegetable food. They have driven thu black bass, perch and pickerel into the swifter waters of the upper river, the P.equannock, "Wanaque and Ramapo. Decent fish cannot live In har mony with tho hoggish carp, not that they are belligerent; but because they aro so messy In their habits and obscure the water so much that the game flsh cannot get their meals regularly. "The East Jersey "Water Company, after making most costly and elaborate preparations to use the Passaic supply at Little Falls and sell it to Its clients, has been brought up suddenly by the carp question. No clear water can be furnished while theso grubbing. walU w lng, snooping creatures are permitted to exist in the river." FREIGHT $40 A TON. Yet This Rock Paid a Profit of $40 a Ton. Quartz that will stand the expense of packing 25 mlles-on horseback and ship ping to Tacoma, has to be worth at least 540 a ton a ton for a starter, In order to cover the expense. J. B. Burns, of Port land, who has been, operating a quartz mine on Mule Mountain, in Curry Coun ty,, has been shipping ore by this slow and expensive process all Summer, and tho rock nets him over $40 a ton, showing Its value to be over $80. He returned yes terday from the mine, and is preparing to set up a five-stamp mill, as he thinks there is n.o use in throwing away 540 a ton. Mr. Burns says the ledge has been opened up to a depth of 100 feet; its thick ness thus far varies from four to six feet, while the pay chute can be traced for 300 feet along the top of the hill. He has hands at work now, running a tunnel so as to strike the ledge at a depth of 125 feet below where ore Is now being taken out. Ho thinks Curry County Is going to prove ono of the best mineralized por tions of Oregon, but capital Is needed to develop Its resources. Of course, if all ledges were as rich as this one," he said yesterday, at the St. Charles, "they would pay their own expenses of devel oping, but this cannot be expected of the average mine. "We must prepare to put In a lot of money before we begin taking any out. It costs mbney to build road3 and open up mines, In order to be sure you are right before you go ahead with your mill." Mr. Burns' shipping point is on the Southern Pacific, at "West Fork Station, In Douglas County. PERSONAL. MENTION, Dr. E. C Pohl has returned from Cape Nome. J. A.

Crowds of Visitors Throng: the Street Fair and Foreshadow the Great Carnival Rush. General Owen Summers lias been chosen grand marshal of the floral parade, Sep tember 7, Woman's day. Upon him will fall the honpr and work of marshalling the numerous floral floats and beautifully decorated equipages that will be seen In the parade, filled with pretty flower girls, Cupids, goddesses an array of youth and beauty quite unlike the stern military battalions that the General Is accustomed to lead. For tho parade, as In California, will be a society event, and all of the swell tallyhos, drags, tandem turn-outs and carriages will be in the parade, deco rated with all the varieties of wild and cultivated flowers that bloom luxuriantly In Oregon. When the floral pageant passes In review be Tore the Carnival King and Queen, a committee of judges will also take note of the merits of each passing display In order to award with discrimination the prizes for each of the following classes: Double rig, single rig, ladles' secret orders, tandem teams, wom en on horseback, men on horseback, bi cycles, tandem riders and baby buggies. Miss Alice Thayer, Carnival Queen, re ceived yesterday many congratulatory messages from friends, felicitating her upon the high honor that she had re ceived. In regard to choosing her court, she said: "I have not yet chosen any of my maids of honor, nor am I as yet very familiar with my duties as Queen. I have given the matter very little thought a3 yet." Throngs of people passing through the Street Fair yesterday gave it the appear ance of being open and ready for the re--ception of visitors. Even though the In terior of the buildings and booths were rough and undecorated in finish, exclama tions of pleasure were heard at tha mag nificent scale In which the whole Street Fair had been projected and the care with which the plans were being executed. The perfect arrangement for lighting the long passage-ways between booths and through the buildings, which will Illumi nate the night time with a bright and sparkling daylight, has been completed. The central- power-wire has been stretched along overhead the main passage-way like a trolley-wire, and from this at close intervals drop festoons of Incandescent lights to the sides of the booths. The scene from the Washington street bridge, looking down upon the thousands of dazzling lights, the beauti fully decorated booths, the stately Morrison-street arch, also studded with elec tric light bulbs, the gally-movlng crowds of spectators will be worth traveling miles to see. 1 And thousands of visitors are coming to see the carnival from Washington, Idaho, Montana and California. Special excur sion trains are to be run from Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, and large parties are being organized in Butte, Helena, Boise City, Baker City, Pendleton, and from all the towns, large and small, in Oregon and Washington. The scenes Saturday evening on Morrison, Alder and Washing ton streets, when The Oregonlan tower was illuminated in view of thousands of people, will be repeated daily during tho carnival, but on a scale ten times as large. A Portland man who has seen all tho large carnivals In the Eastern cities said yesterday: "This carnival of Portland's will sur pass anything of the kind that I have ever seen In any Eastern city. It has grown and grown until It has reached a magnificent size and extent. Anyone who walks through the fair on Sixth street will be Impressed with the magnitude of the undertaking, and when everything is finished, the decorations of the booths completed, the exhibits all placed In their buildings, the amusements In full sway, the fair certainly will make the Portland people proud of its success. The Port land business men have supported the enterprise liberally, and the fair will be one of the greatest advertisements that Portland las ever had." The Dollar Above the Man.

Norton, Iowa's Dairy Com missioner, discusses as follows the future of tho baby separator In his 13th annual report r The great Increase in the use .of farm separators is easily noticeable. Despite the expense connected therewith their use bids fair to become more or less general In the dairy portions of the state, and while their Introduction may not be looked upon with favor by all creamery men, it will be necessary to adjust ourselves -to the new conditions. The creamery can only exist when the farmer is making some money out of his dairy, and If he sees that he can make more money with the same or less work by skimming his milk at home he will do so. And in the end the creamery will be benefited by the Increased Interest in dairy matters and the increase in the product thereof sent to the creamery to be worked up and sold. The advantages of the farm separators are: Effectiveness of skimming over any method of gravity creaming. Saving in cost of hauling milk to cream ery and back. Increased value of the skimmed milk, due to its uniform sweetness. Saving of time, labor, and dairy uten sils formerly In use. The disadvantages are: The expense. The labor of running the separator. Despite the fact that there are many separator creameries in Iowa, there Is still a great number of large daries, and Innumerable smaller ones, that still pur sue the old wasteful methods of gravity creaming. To these, where the dairy Is largo enough to warrant tho cxpenso, tho Men's and Boys' Clothing V carry none but the best makes, and our prices are much lower than the soma quality of goods can bo sold for by any exclusive clothier.

The best meth ods of gravity creaming, using Ice, leavo in the milk from six to nine-tenths of ono per cent of fit, while the best separators will take out practically all of the fat. and give a better quality of cream. Such a saving ot one-seventh or one-sixth of the total fat content of the milk is cer tainly desirable. It seems to be a self evident proposition that tho use of tho farm separator will soon become the regu lar thing In connection with gathered cream factories. It is not to be expected that tho U38 of the farm separator will become uni versal and so crowd out the separator creameries, but only that the larger dairies will take advantage of Its usefulness, and, that the smaller producers will still con tinue the present 3yitem, and the natural grow'th of the industry all over the stata will support all the creameries we now have, and In a few years will support twice as many as at present. SHE WANTED TO KNOW. Question as to Poisoning; Hen's Essa Still Unsolved. A woman of a scientific turn of mind residing in the suburbs and engaged In poultry raising called up a city official by telephone one day last week and told him, that the carcass of a cow which had been poisoned was not far distant from he? place. The official, who was busy, re plied: "Very well, madam. I will see that it is removed at once." "Please wait till I get through," camf back over the wire. "I do not want t" carcass removed, as my chickens aro ea lng It up. What I want to know Is wha. effect the poison will have on tho eggs my chickens lay?" "I cannot tell you for certain," replied the official, "but you had better eat soma of the eggs, and If they do not kill you, let me hear from you again." She has not yet been heard from, and the official Is content. An Equine Gold Briclc. Ijebanon Criterion. Joe Haslet. Jr.. rode A- O.
