Development work at the Hay CreeK coal miles, a prop erty which was opened up a, few weeks ago, has disclosed several good veins of bitumi nous coal, all of which will be worked as rapidly as possible, says the Journal. For the past two weeks the men at work on the property have drifted in on the larger vein, which has a width of five feet, and tbe tun-r nel is now between 3Q and ,4Q feet in length. The tunnel is being sunk into the side of the ridge and as yet no consid erable depth below the surface has been attained. In conse quence the coal is still capped with clay and the cap rock, but this, it is stated, will disappear as the tunnel is sunk farther1 nlo the ridge and away from the surface. Prospect work has also been carried on throughout the 15 claims which were located by thr different associations soon ' after the first discovery, and int. ill of these croppings have been found. Other tunnels will le sunk as socn as possible where the best surface indications exist. Prom the tunnel in which, work is now being directed a large number of tons of the fuel has been taken and thrown on the dump. The coal is being used in the camp for cooking purposes and in the blacksmith forges and is giving excellent -satisfaction. Quite a number of samples have been distribu ted about town during the past week and tests made of the burning and heating qualities. ilA SMiThTRN jfitWAY TARIC un in I EASTERN OREGON BANKING COMPANY FOREIGN EXCHANGE BOUGHT AND SOLD DRAFTS ON ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD I -CI -rt. .nnrtu "muni 8W BSS- tra Hi'-"' SMI aft fiftS: Capital Stock, $25,000 Deposits, $290,000 SHANIKO, OREGON CONTEST HEARD HERE Testimony Taken In Case Involving Question of Residence.

Tralllc managers for tbe various transportation lines running into the Pacific Northwest say that tbe past v.ear has witnessed the heaviest move ment of colonists which this state has ever known, and it it estimated that during the past year more than 10,C00 adult colonists have settled pennau- ntly in Oregon. Of this number a large majority have settled in Easi. ru and Central Oregon, although South ern Oregon is also getting its shre. These settlers begin to drop oft and start their search for homes r.s soon as they cros the slate line, although by far the greater number of them get as far as Portland, to make that a starting point. The colouist move ment which ended the first week in this mouth in said -to have brought thousands of new settlers into the -tale, many of whom are already ending back for their families. One Northern Pacific train which left fc$t. Paul last week, left in three t-ectioup, carry lug about 600 colonists buuud for tills coast. Crook couuty Is getting her shar of he benefits of this great colouist movement, although the movement into Crook is yet In its Inclpienoy. The advertising which the irrigated district south of here has received is attracting people from the Middle West, and when better transportation facilities are assured tills section, the intlux of settlers iuto this place and on .south will amount to a rUsh.

Edwards returned to Hay Creek the first of the week, after a six months' sojourn in Europe, during which time they visited both Mrs. Ed wards's home in England and Mr. Edwards's home at Pwllheli, Wales. During his absence Mr. Edwards suc ceeded in gathering together a shipment of the finest Shire horses to be had In Enqland, picking up single "top notchers" here and there, and with these as a nu cleus he expects to establish a branch devoted to producing fine draft horses, at his magnificent thoroughbred Mock farm at Hay Creek, The brss will soon be on exhibition at Hay Crtek a rut will be Will wdtlh a tup there to ftWi ' ""tiiko, 0r,
