There are now Jald in the city about three miles of track and more than a mile of suburban road to the northeast of the city. A force of men is now at work extending the railway system In the northwestern part of the city, and a pre liminary survey has already been ordered for building this end of the line on out north through Felida. Sara. Ridgefield and Ia Center. The cnrs now run out to the carbarns on the way to Orchards, and the Vancouver Traction Company, which own the street railway system, is ar ranging- to build the line to Orchards, which is six miles out, and from there with the proper encouragement of the farmers, who have everywhere been lib eral in their treatment of the company, it is expected that the line will be ex tended to Hocklnson. Brush Prairie and beyond. The street railway company has already spent in the construction of the lines now in operation close to jiso.ooo, and if present plane are carried out. much more than this will be spent next year. Water System Improved. The Vancouver Waterworks Company has spent during the past 12 months JCO.- in improvements of various kinds. Five miles of new pipe were laid in the city, and a new pumping plant was put in east of the garrison.

Many improvements, were also made by the company at the springs, four miles up the Columbi River, whence comes the pure water for ancouver. Many new business blocks have been er.-ted during the past year. The Blakcr omitting, which is now nearing comple tion, will cost 840,000. It Is a three-story block with two large storea on the first f.oor. The two upper stories will be used as flats. Rlenn X.

The Vancouver Ice & Cold Storage Com pany, mhich has a large plant on West Kighth street, alongside the railroad tracks, for the manufacture of distilled water ice and the storage of fruits and various other kinds of perishable goods, has doubled the capacity of its plant the paet year. The erection of a new 110,000 public library has already been started, to be completed on or before June 1, 1909. In the matter of telephone' extension during the year of 1H0K. there have been laid MOO mii.s of wtre ln ,h. county which, together with the putting in of exchanges, would include an expenditure of J30.000. At least ten new rural com panies have been formed and their spe cial systems . have been connected with the city systems. Besides this, the wires have been laid within the citv beneath the pavement for the Home Telephone Company, which expects during the com ing year to complete its system and in stall its exchange here.

A conservative estimate of the average cost of these would be $1000, mak ing a total of $.100,000 that have been spent during the last year ln the erection of new homes in Vancouver. There have been extensive improve ments and additions to both the North Bank and Northern Pacific Railroads within the city. As Vancouver, It is un derstood, is to be made the terminus for all freight coming from the east and from the north, this means still further extensions during the coming year. A new railway station Is now being built," at a cost of $13,0il0. More Industries Promised. A few of the new industries that will be located in Vancouver next year include a Slfi0.ono lumber plant, to be erected on the river front below the new bridge, by Somerville Bros.; a $50,000 car factory to be built on the river front east of the garrison; a large plant for the manufac ture of hydraulic rams: a manufactory for automobiles; a $14,000 canning factory and a number of others. A committee of the Vancouver Commer cial Club has taken up with the Govern ment Engineers the project of building a Jetty below the big railway bridge about a mile long, which is to run at an oblique angle from the Oregon shore. The Gov ernment Engineers have expressed them selves as being In favor of the plan, hence it is only the question of a short time be fore it win be built. By means of this jetty a permanent deep-water channel be tween Vancouver and the Willamette will be made, and all ocean-going vessels will be able to load to their full capacity in the docks In the Vancouver harbor. ln addition to the manufacturing in dustries enumerated above, there are tributary to Vancouver ten sawmills, three brickyards, one vitrified brick and tile works, costing over $'JOO.0nO. one brew ery with a capacity of 250 barrels daily, two creameries, two fruit packing estab-, Ilshments. a large soda works, two steam laundries and a large power and lighting ROAD TO BUILD IN SPUG COOS BAY TROLLEY SYSTEM IS HEADY IXJR COXSTBCCTIOX. Power-House Xearinjr Completion nd KranchUe Prom North Bend City Council Secured. MAHSHFIELD. Or., Dec 19. (Spe- claL) Representatives of the Coos Bay Hallway & Terminal Company state that the work of building the electric railway on Cods Bay will begin next Spring. All that Is now desired by the company before starting on a $500,000 expenditure is a franchise to run cars through Marshfleld. Fran chises for North Bend and the inter vening district have already been se- cured and some w.ork at North Bend has been done. The road, according to tne company s plans. Is to extend from North Bend to Marshfleld' and then on to Mllllngton. and from North Bend across Pony Inlet to Kmpire. and on down the coast to Sunset Bay, which is being made a Summer resort and where I J. Simpson has erected a handsome Summer home. The company has advertised for bids for the construction of a tunnel 430 feet long In North Bend to go under Montana avenue, so it. is assumed that the building of the road from North Bend to the coast will proceed regard less of whether the franchise Is given n .Marsltneld. ine power nnuse tor tne electric line is located at Porter, half way between North Bend and Marshfleld, and is large enough to supply light for both cities, as well as running the road. The plant is now about completed, and is designed to meet the demands of a city of .10,000 people. Six big boilers and a Westlnghouse power plant have oeen. Installed In the new building. The Coos Bay Railroad & Terminal Company recently filed articles of in corporation at Salem. - The company Is incorporated ror $250,000. At the same time there was filed a mortgage to the Hewitt Land Company, of Tacoma, for $:0.000. The- following are the of ficers of the proposed electric rail way line: President.

Albany's splendid new depot will become a union depot tomorrow, when the Cor vallis & Eastern will begin running to It. Only the Southern Pacific trains frort. the main and branch lines run to It now. but the tracks have been completed so that all trains from the C. & B. can rur. direct to the new structure. Work on the railroad yards la pro gressing rapidly. The old depot hotel is being moved from its old location ln the railroad yards to a site at Ninth and Lyon streets, and when this work is com pleted the laying of the new tracks wli: proceed more rapidly. The plans for the grounds of the new depot Include the es tablishment of a splendid park, but this of course will not be completed for a year or two The erection of tne new depot has stim ulated building in that part of the city. Not onlv is the Depot Hotel being en larged and reconstructed, but tmo new store buildings are in process of con struction, fronting the new depot. Telephone Tacoma, H mln., inc.

SURFACE EVIDENCE OF OIL Company of Local Capitalists Con fident Petroleum In Commercial Quantities Will Be Encoun tered In Few Weeks' Drilling. MADRAS, Or.. Dec. 13 (Special.) With the erection of a huge derrick on the west slope of Grizzly Butte, a few miles south of this place, and the in stallation of a carload of machinery shipped direct from the oil fields at Titus-vine. Pa., drilling has beeii re sumed with renewed energy during the past few days. It is confidently believed that a vast deposit of petroleum will be tapped within a short time. Up to the present time the shaft has been sunk only to a depth of a few hun dred feet. This was done during the Summer, more in the nature of an ex periment than otherwise, and the shsft sunk with an ordinary well drill. As depth was obtained, however, an oil seepage was encountered, as well as shale and oil-bearing sands and so strong- were the Indications growing that local business men and property owners or ganized a company and immediatefly laid plans to begin drilling on ao exten sive scale. Engines, derrick and rigging, the lat ter having been purchased from a man ufacturing concern in Pennsylvania, were soon on the ground and 'work sjarted. The drilling machinery Is sufficient ln size and strength to carry the shaft to a depth of 4000 feet. If necessary, but from present indications It is apparent that petroleum will be Btruck at a much lesser depth. The work of sinking the well is in charge of E. L. Bloomfleld, a Pennsyl vania driller, who has been in the em ploy of the Standard Oil Company for many years. He came to Crook County from the oil fields of California, where he had been superintending drilling work for some time past. Among local residents and nil men who have visited the field, little doubt Is en tertained that petroleum will be encoun tered In paying quantities. Springs and wells In the vicinity for years past hava been so Impregnated with oil that they are useless for domestic purposes and not a few are so oily that cattle re fuse to drink the contents. Added to this are the reports, now In the files at The Dalles Land Office, made by Gov ernment engineers who made the original survey of the country more than 30 years ago. Notations in these reports are to the effect that the district In which drilling is now being prosecuted show strong petroleum indications. ROftD-NEARS KLAMATH STAGE COACH MUST SOOV GIVE WAY TO IKON HORSE. Immense Field for Portland Jobbing Interests Will Bo Opened by Xew Route to Southeast. KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. Dec. 13. (Spe cial.) The California Northern, a branch of the Southern Pacific, is rapidly nearing completion as far as the lake, and in two weeks It will be possible to reach this city without relying on the stage for any part of the way. A large dredge has Just been launched and will soon be ready to complete the grade across the lake. Some time next yer trains will begin running into the city. The Southern Pacific interests evidently do not expect to abandon further railroad construction in this vicinity when the line to this city has been completed. Erick son & Petterson. the contractors who are building the road, late last week moved about 100 of their men and equipment to a point about two miles north of this city where they will work all Winter on, a deep cut about one-lmlf mile long around the city to the upper lake. This Improve ment must be made in order to provide the necessary water transportation in the Spring to move supplies about 20 miles farther north, where camps are to be es tablished. From Grass Lake to Klamath Lake a splendid track is being built in the most substantial manner with 1 per cent grade and 3 per cent curvature. Over 400 feet of the 2000-foot tunnel near Dorris has been completed and everything looks fa vorable for a rapid building of the road to a connection with the main line at Eu gene. With the completion of these transporta tion facilities, the Klamath country wl'.I offer a promising field for the wholesale business Interests of Portland, who should lose no time in sending representa tives into this section that better trade re lations might be effected. The large cities in California are already making a bid for this business and are sending travel ing men here every week. A great many new settlers are locating in Klamath Fall and vicinity and the time Is not far removed when immense quantities of goods will be required for the trade.

I had no strength and took cold at the slightest provoca tion, which invariably settled on my lungs, and a cough would result My eon learned of the cod liTer prep aration called Vinol, and procured a bottle for me. It built up my strength rapidly, and after taking three bottles I am able to do most of my work, and I can walk a quarter of a mile easily. Every aged or weak person who re quires strength should try Vinol. I am delighted with what it has done for me." As a body builder and strength, crea tor for old people, delicate children, weak, run-down persons, and after sickness, Vinol is unexcelled.
