3Iinc, "When Development "Worlc
Will Be Curried On on a
Larger Scale.
That the coal velnsthat were found in
the Blue River Mountains, 21 miles south
east of Heppner, are permanent is now
, perfectly assured. A large 'amount of
work has been done on them and they are
, showing up in fine form. George Conser,
D. A. Barren and C. E. Redfield. mem-
' "bera of the Heppner Railway & Coal
Company, are in the city. They have
with them samples of the coal from their
district and assert with positive assurance
that there is much more where that came
from, and that there will some day be a
big coal mine there. The ledge that they
have worked the most is about six feet
through. They have tunnelled in on it
for a distance of over 240 feet and say
that it Is getting thicker as they get
' deeper. There are at least seven different
velne, within 125 feet of each other, they
gay, and from every indication they ex-
tend from three to seven miles in each
direction. The coal Is of excellent quality
and they have great hopes for the future
of their mine.
"No," said Mr. Redfield, in response to
a question, we are not now nwiung x".
special preparations for mining the coal,
but we will in a short time. We expect
to build a railroad right to tie mine. We
will not go at the thing hurriedly but will
be sure what we have before we make
any radical move."
"Is it a sure thing that the coal Is there
In paying quantities?" he was ar-ked.
"There can be no doubt about it," he
eald without hesitation. "We already have
enough in sJght to determine that. One
of the veins now is six feet through, and
there is every indication rhat it will be
wider."
"What is the shewing made by the other
veins?" he was asked.
"We have tunnelled 140 feet on one of
them," said he, "and It Is now three feet
through. The walls In this case arc eight
feet apart and from holes that have been
bored farther up the hill we think the
coal will fill the walls when we get in
farther."
"Would a three-foot vein pay to -mine?"
be was asked.
"Much lees than that would pay," he
said, "but we will not have to mine a
three-foot vein. We will have more as
soon as we have done a little more work.
In describing the formation, he said that
It Is of a. sedimentary type, but that it
Is harder than would be expected. A sort
of sandstone is the filling between the
walls of the ledges. It is strong, and
hard to dig in but it will not stand unlcn
strong timbers are put In to take the
place of the coal that Is removed.
In speaking of the find Mr. Redfield
stated that he considered It a great thing
for Portland, and for the entire state.
"What we need here," said he, "is
cheaper coal. There are a large number
of enterprises that could be started If we
had cheaper coal."
In speaking of the quality of the -coal
he said:
"We have had several analyses made and
they all give satisfactory results. The coal
is of a superior variety of bituminous
coal and would make better fuel than any
that Is now being used on the locorrtotlves
" of the Northwest.
"You can see what it is for yourself,"
he said, pointing to some line, large pieces
that he had laid in the hotel window;
It Is of a black, shiny variety and .cer
tainly looked like good coal.
DETECTIVES CATCH RYAN
Aged Man In Arrewted, nnd- Stolen
Property Recovered.
Just as he was dusting off a few
crumbs clinging to his mustache after he
had eaten a meal in a restaurant on First
street, near Madison, yesterday. Thomas
Ryan, alias "Skinny" Ryan, alias J. L.
Post, aged C5 years, was arrested by De
tective Day. charged with robbery. De
tectives Kerrigan, Snow and Day were
after Ryan, who recently showed himself
on the streets only at rare intervals, to
ask him what became of a v'alisethe went
off with. Six weeks ago, a woman, whose
name is not known at present. stepped
ashore at Taylor-street wharf, 'carrying
a valise, and Ryan offered to carry the
valise to a trolley car which she wished
to board. Ryan went through the car
ahead of the woman to the front platform
and jumped off with the" valise.
From the description of the man, as
given by the victim, the police came to
the conclusion that he was "Skinny"
Ryan. Detective Day was passing the
First-street restaurant when ho observed
Ryan coming out of it, and when the
prisoner was searo'.rd at the police sta
tion a quantity of j- .-h-y was found In
his possession, which was Identified as
berng part el' the goods stolen from Dr.
Hamilton Mead's house, 303 Hancock
street, last Thursday afternoon, about 5
o'clock- The house was forced open and
looted by some mysterious robber.
"When confronted with the -jewelry.
Ryan said: "I didn't steal (this. It was
done bv another fellow named Ryan. Ho
cave the stuff to me." By night, how
ever, all the property stolen from Dr.
Mead's house had been recovered by the
police, except two diamond lngs. The

stealing from a house on Clay street.
OPIE READ HAS THEORIES
He Talks Entertainingly of Books
" , and the Law.
"Never again," said Ople Read yester
day morning, as he lifted a heavy leathern
case and gave it into the hands of a por
ter; "never again shall I go on a trip with
a typewriter that can't walk. Hah! I
asked a Pullman 'commodore' the other
day if I could take a typewriter into the
sleeper with me. He looked shocked and
scratched his wool a little as he said:
" 'If you ah jnahled to her sun'
"Then I explained that 'she' was only
a machine. By the way, I'd starve If I
had to use a pen. I always use a type
writer. Everybody you know Is naturally
something of a machinist especially the
politician.
"Speaking 'of politicians," he continued
biting off another stogie, "Seattle seems
to be having a hot time with them.
There's a lack of Puritanism In that town
that's rather refreshing. Yes, they all
say it's a hot town due, I suppose, to
the Japan current, eh?
"Which do I think the best of my
novels? Well, though 'The Juckllns Is the
most popular and brings the most money,
and while one may write for the love of
it. he must eat, too. Yet I like 'The
Waters of Caney Fork most of all, I
think. The London papers seem to think
well of It. 'The Juckllns,' however, seems
to be read In some of the oldest places.
I saw It translated In Bohemian not long
ago. What they can get out of it I can't
Imagine. They've got it into French and
German 'Monsieur Juck-lawn and 'Herr
Yucklin,' eh?
"You know A. B. Flanders, don't you?
He used to work on the papers out here,
and he was a good man In that line, but
an odd character. He went East and
;yent broke in New York, and finally
drifted to Pittsburg, whore he found bill
collectors painfully active. Flanders got
a job 6n a little paper and worked hard,
getting through his day's work at 3 o'clock
In the morning and sleeping until noon.
Finally the bill collectors got to ringing
his bell and disturbing his morning slum
bers. "One morning he was going down town
when he saw a black crape rosette In an
undertaking establishment.
"He got It and tacked It on his door-that
night. It worked well for three days, and
he enjoyed untroubled slumber. On the
fourth morning, however, a collector
pounded on the door and wanted to know
why he didn't take out the corpse.
" 'Because you'd collect the nickel off
its eye,' shouted back Flanders."
"What do you think of the problem
novel?"
"If you mean by that the unclean novel
of vicious inspiration, it is most certainly
abomfnable; but novels which deal with
powerful passions and the problems
they nvolve may In the hands of decent
authors certainly be kept free from any
nasty influence. Think of the powerful
sermons of George Eliot. Tolstoi and
others. Tr.cre are two ways of painting
pictures of the nude, you know. Some
painters get nakedness and suggestion as
the only result; others get only poetry,
beauty and strength. But not all books
are unclean because some gentle preacher
says so only some great books may be
too strong meat for delicate people.
"The theological critic Is seldom the best
one. His calling and hla training do not
tend to perfect his judgment, for the reas
son that religion is a sentiment a grand
emotion and to each minister is given a
creed and a system cut and dried for him,
wherein no exercise of judgment is re
quired: in fact, where independent Judg
ment has in tue past generally been con
sidered sinful, for faith only Is the all
important thing.
"The law is the great school in which
men attain profound Judgment the fac
ulty of balancing a question and under
standing It from all points. By the way,
you have noticed how men In intellectual
pursuits like the law and literature seldom
srow old mentally. The constant exer
cise of the Intellectual faculties unques
tionably Is of immense benefit, just as
phvslcal culture is good for the body.
Statistics show that the percentage of per
sons In intellectual occupations becoming
insane is far less than in any. other class
oL mankind."
ROCKS FALL ON BRIDGE.
Tvro Hundred Tons Are Loosened
From Elk Rock Heights.
Two hundred tons of rocks fell from the
heights of Elk Rock, near Oswego, upon
the trestle of tlie Yamhill Division of the
Southern Pacific, Friday morning. The
rocks covered the trestle for the length
of GO feet, but, as many of them fell
through, no particular damage was done
beyond misplacing a number of ties and
shaking up the trestle generally. It Is
supposed that the rocks were loosened by
the jarring of the ground from the blast
ing beinir done near the White House. In
th-i afternoon a gang of men climbed to
the top of the lofty rock and pried off
what other rocks appeared ready to fall

In a case heard yesterday before Munici
pal Judge Hogue, where O. C. Harris, a
deaf and dumb man, residing at Fulton,
was accused of assaulting his wife. Mrs.
Harris testified that she gave her hus

a portion of her household goods.
"Why did you strike your wife?" wrote
Deputy District Attorney Gatens, handing
the message to the defendant. In reply
Harris wrote: "I did not know what I was
doing. I don't know what it was that got
into my head. I love my wife and want
to go home and live with her today."
:HoV do you know that you win not

"I quit right now," wrote Harris.
While the Judge was considering the
proposition Harris and his wifo were

him, but she would not. Mr. Gatens

PIANO FACTS IN RHYME
I knew a man in our town and he was
wondrous wise.
He went Into a piano house and they told
him lots of lies.
Then rushed he straightway out again,
and to our store he came,
Such tales had made his brain so tired, he
scarce could spell his name.
Such goods! Such schemes to sell them
off, had filled him with despair,
"Six-bits" a week and "dlme-a-day" plans
he knew were all "hot air,"
"So I have come to you.v he said, "for a
piano I wish to buy,
"And I know that you will tell the truth,
nnd to me will not He."
We showed him our pianos, and our easy
payment plan,
He bought a large-sized Emerson, and la
now a happy man.
Therefore we say. dear reader, and we say
It without fear.
If you wish a good piano, bo sure and
buy it here.
