A meeting ot the Nehalem Coal Co. has been called tor December li at 10 o'clock a. m. at Hanthorn's hall. Some interesting developments are antlcl pated. This Is the company that was organised a few years ago to operate alleged coal mines In the Nehalem. large amount ot stock was subscribed, and the stockholders still hare their certificates of stock. It Is claimed that over tJS.000 cash waa paid In. As to whether It Is a case of "Frensled Ft nance" or a game of freese out will probably be determined at the meeting. About live years ago a few local pro moters, who had been studying the manipulations ot Wall street, conceived the Idea that could coull be found In abundanec In the Nehalem, and In or der to develop these wonderful coal fields It would be necessary to organise a stock company. Mining experts were brought to Astoria and taken to the alleged coal fields, and made an ex amlnatton. As to whether the coal de posits had been bought In Australia or Rosslyn and taken there for the pur pose of effecting an organisation. Is an explanation which a large number of the stockholders ara deeply concerned in. It Is claimed by some of the stock holder who reside In Chinook that a report In concise form wilt suffice to alleviate the sufferings of that portion of the Nehalem coal syndicate which put Its money In the undertaking. As to whether the money was used to de velop the toal fields or to purchase business property on Commercial street matters but little. All they care for respective homes, Albert Kinney and Gus Kinney sons of Dr. and Mrs. Alfred Kinney, ar rived home yesterday to spend the holi days with their parents. They are attending school In Portland. HOTEL ARRIVAL8. Parker House. Peter Johnson, City. Ben Wise, Hwaco, Wash. Vasco Banter, Cathlamet O. C. Berg, Cathlamet B. H. Tuft, Cathlamet Victor Hagland. B.

They have a distinct recollection of purchasing a certain number of shares of stock In ,'the Nehalem coal mine, but they con sider that there Is no striking simi larity between a stock certificate and a marriage certificate, as In the latter a person generally receives some con sideration, even though It be only the acquisition ot a mother-in-law, but as a financial Investment, there is a grow ing belief among the stockholders that Hoyle was not consulted In the man agement of the business of the com pany. It is expected that everything will be satisfactorily explained at the meeting next Thursday and the stockholders will be Informed as to whether they are to become coal barons or must con tinue their past avocation of fishing for salmon In the waters of the Co lumbia river. Interesting developments are expected and the stockholders anti cipate either a funeral or a wedding. They have the most Implicit confidence in the management, but have a burning feeling to acquire more coin of the realm from the sale of the products from the Nehalem coal mine.
