Oplatoas of Experts. Concerning the Nicola coal deposits. examinations have been made by the late Dr. Dawson, eminent as a geolo glan; Paul Johnson, mineralogist and manager of the Greenwood smelter; John Lloyd and Thomas Oliver, Pennsylvania coal experts sent by the Bank of Col fax, Washington, and J. JJ. none, min ing engineer of Arisona. Without hesi tancy, these authorities pronounce the Nicols fields to be the most extensive end of the best quality of any known In the West. Perhaps as good an opin ion aa any that could be rendered Is affbrded by the fact that the Standard Oil Company has purchased 2,660 acres of coal land for S2. 500,000. which lands adjoin the Western Coal A Iron Com pany's, snd thus pins its raitn to me Nicola fields. A New Tork company In which J. J. Hill is Interested, has acquired 16 sec tions, or 10.240 acres. In the Nicola coal basin, seven miles south from the West ern Coal & Iron Company's land. It Is rumored that the consideration was 110.000.000, or about $1,000 an acre. There Is but one coal mine In British Columbia that makes coke for smelters and that Is the Crow's Nest. None of the coal mines in the StSte of Washing ton make coke, because the coal con tains too much sulphur. The Nicola coal has been pronounced by experts to make fully equally as good coke as the Crow's Nest, and far superior for steamer and domestic use. Were It desirable to Institute com parlson' between these fields and those of Crows Nest, It could be said mat Crow's Nest is 600 miles from the sea, the Nicola being only 160. Crow's Nest stock went begging at 10 cents a share a few years ago.

A short time ago the various sawmills in the eastern end of the county were notified by the O. R. & N. Co. that the price of ties would be reduced V4 a cent each, and as a consequence a great .many of the mills closed down. The greater dls tance the mil (owners have to send their ties to a railroad, the more expense Is added to the production of each tie, consequently when the mlllmen were asked to reduce their price a large num ber of them closed their mills, with the hope of prevailing upon the company to resume the former price. This, how ever, could not be accomplished and now the millowners In turn have reduced the compensation for hauling. This has met more or less objection through the many tie-haulers, as they claim the former rate was none too high and but a meagre living was ail mat could De made at best Notwithstanding the change, however, nearly all the team sters will return at once to work. Haul ing and unloading the thousands of ties put out every day by the mills furnishes work for many. The expenses of the average tie-hauler are nominal and even then, it Is claimed. he can rarely save enough money while wagons and teams are in good condition, to purchase a new outfit at the end of from one and a half to two years. Wagons do not generally last much over two years when constantly used for hauling ties. As the various conditions of the roads are bettered. the life of a tie-wegon may be advanced and thereby save a little to be added to the owners profit Depot Begun. The O. W. P. & R. Co. has been working several days upon the founda tlon for the new depot to be built at this place. The structure will be a good one and will soon be completed. There is at present no depot here, and a freight car serves as a warehouse, ticket office and depot. - The former stopping place has a small temporary shelter, but Is much too small for any other purpose than a waiting room. The work of electrifying the line to this point is moving slowly. It was thought some time ago that the work would be completed to this place by not later than August 1. This date will soon be here and there still remains several miles of line yet to wire. However, when electric service is established the residents here will be greatly pleased. and It Is also hoped that the train service will be often r than the present schedule.

Tha Kind Yea Hara Always Bought Bears the Signature of The action of railroad officials re garding tha portage road Is either a bluff, or a well-defined Intention, but which ' ever It be, the plain facts are that the railroads threaten. If the port age road Is built, to give It to Portland 'In the neck." Their point of view Is that the railroads have been giving Portland terminal rates for years, snd they charged Spokane, Boise and other Interior cities the terminal charge to Portland, and the local from Portland back; that this has given the Portland merchants the monopoly of the Eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho trade, and they say that If this portage road Is built Portland will expect to get her terminal rates, and then cut the rail roads out of the local back rate. This the -railroads will not stand, and they are preparing now to obey the long and short haul clause of the Inter-state Commerce law, and give Spokane and other Interior towns a better rate than Portland had, and thereby cut out Portland merchants from the whole in terlor country. While nobod in the railroad service will come out flatly and say so, yet this is what they say by In sinuation. Vrospects for That Meeting. The state portage railway commission Governor Chamberlain, Secretary of State Dunbar and State Teasurer Moore have an appointment to meet with the O. R. & N. officials on Friday In President Mohler's office. At that time, the question of the right of way differences between the State of Ore gon and the railroad company will come up for a settlement. Unless there be new matter Injected Into the situation prior to that meeting, it la so plain that he who runs may read the story of the result. It Is to be expected that the railroad company will greet the representatives of the State of Oregon with the personal courtesy that gentle men always show towards gentlemen. but that when It comes to matters of concession, the railway company will uncover a hand of Iron and absolutely refuse to yield one lijch of their ground. It will then be up to the state portage board to determine their action. Oov- ernor Chamberlain, in an Interview with The Journal Inst week, stated plainly his position, 8peaklng for him self, as one of the three members or the board, that he would counsel stand ing firmly for what he believes to be his duty towards the people of the state, and proceeding with the work of build ing the road regardless of any Interference. President Mohler's Tiews. President Mohler w..en he was seen by The Journal, did not wish to make a statement on the subject. He said that the matter was not yet In sbape for complete setting forth to the public, and that before anything came from the railroad company, matters must develop further. He Intimated that he could not see wherein the portage road would benefit the City of Portland, and that In his opinion the business men of Port land have not appreciated the attitude of the company towards the commercial Interests during past years. The company's position stated by an other official than President Mohler Is: The O. R. & N. Company has hereto fore granted a terminal rate to Port land with a local charge for the haul back to Interior points, which afforded Portland command of the wholesale trade In the Inland Empire, and cutting off wholesalers in Spokane, Walla Walla or Pendleton from doing much business. It was in accordance with the interstate commerce law, which calls for terminal rates where there may be water com petition, such as at Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and San Francisco. If the people of Portland propose to force through this portage road, cutting off from the company the back haul to Interior points. It will compel the com pany to do the best they can under the circumstances. Threat or BluffT Two alternatives of choice are open under these circumstances: Either It is a bluff, and to be used to scare the business men of Portland to withdraw support from the portage road: or it Is a part of the well-denned policy of the Harrtman Interests, to re taliate against Portland and punish her for backing a project the portage that of course Is recognised aa affecting the tariff schedule of the O. R. & N. from the Inland Empire. As to the attitude that ought to be assumed by Portland, opinions differ. Some are for the fight, some for a com promise, but the preponderence appears to be for standing ground, ana resort Ing to all necessary expedients to carry the portage road through to completion at the earliest possible day. Horthern PacHlo aa Element A policy of retaliation would be par tially nullified by the northern roads, unless there were a complete under standing between - all transcontinental lines. The Northern Pacific gets Into Portland, and terminal rates could be manipulated only by recognizing that road as a party to the transaction. Of ficials of that road refuse to be. drawn Into a controversy in this connection.

Tweatr-avtcuabotOa There are three lakes within a few hours' horse-back ride from Detroit, Marlon county. Or., where the best fish ing in the state Is -said to be found. The lakes are small bodtes of water and the roads to them are rocky ones to travel, but the trout that gambol in the waters are said to be very large and most de lightfully game. Owing to the fact that the three lakes are off the well-known trails about De troit, they have been visited but a few times by sportsmen within recent years, and the trout there have, like Mr. Fin ney's turnip, "grew and grew." A stranger going to the lakes to fish must be accompanied bf a guide on his out ward bound trip, or he may spend sev eral days In the wilderness looking for tha promised fishing places. The three tiny Inland s-as have re ceived the names of Marlon Lake, Par mella Iako and Elk Iake. The first named Is some 29 miles from Detroit, the eastern terminus of the Corvallls & Eastern Railroad. It Is said that It requires the traveler at least a day and half to reach Its banks after leaving the train, as the trails are very poor. Parmella Lake Is 22 miles from the rail road station, and one must journey from early morning until twilight In order to reach the fishing Mecca. The last named of the trio Is but 12 miles from Detroit, and can be reached In half as many hours' travel. Several parties of Portland sportsmen are planning to visit these lakes within the next few weeks. It will be the first time, so many say, that local fishermen have cast their files In the above named bodies of water. Max M. Sh 11 lock, who was In the Detroit country last week, says that he was told while there that trout two feet long were In these almost unknown lakes, and that fishing In them would be sport most royal.
