The coal bunkers of all: the arge fuel companies on the coast are lammed full of the black diamonds and they must let go of it at lower prices or go out of business entirely. As an Instance of the overstocked condition of - the fuel companies, one taamer has been anchored in the river here for six months with 8,000 tons of coal aooard, ror wnicti it is lmpossioie to find a market The reason of this condition is that Oregon mine owners sell their product at from ft to IS a ton, and the best the dealers in the outside article can do is to make a price of from 18.60 to $12. R. B. Rose, general manager of the Coal Creek Coal and Mining company. of Kelso, Washington, is in the city in the Interests of his company. He says the coal Industry in Oregon and Wash ington Is destined to be one of the fore most influences in building up 'the country tributary to the rreat Colum bia. He looks to Portland for the chief market for the new mines, and says that many more are to be opened up this year to supply the ever-increaslna- de mand. Meanwhile what tbe companies which at present are overstocked with tha bituminous fuel from other shores are going - do Is a question of some Inter esting surmises.

They have settled during the past sea son, and the squirrels have done but slight damage. : UAL COAL When you play t Ho Piano with the aid of the Pianola, you are obtaining the greatest fascination that can be had frommoaic- helpingtomaRoityotirself j Pianola-playing and Hand-Playing United in a Single Instrument Oustere Xobbe la Us latest book, "The Piano list," saysi ' "I have acquired a perfect technique the technique of a great virtuoso throuKh the Pianola.

DRAW BLOOD OUT OF OTHER MAIi Triumph of Surgery by One of Speakers at Forth coming Session. Great preparations are being made for the meeting of the council of the Oregon State Medical society, which will be, held in Portland the first three days of July. Between 400 and BOO visiting physldlans will attend the meeting and many noted physicians from many states will be present to speak, Acceptances have already been received trom- a large number of phy sicians of Utah. Montana, Washington and Idaho. Those in charge of the arrangements believe that the star attraction of the, meeting will be the papers to be read by Dr. C. W. Crile of Cleveland, Ohio, a surgeon of world-wide reputation. Dr. Crile elaborated and perfected the op eration of transfusion of blood from one person to another and his opera tion is the one now universally used. Dr. Crile la an Interesting speaker and his addresses are looked forward to with much interest by the medical men who will be present. , - Dr. Wltherspoon of Butte, Montana, Is another eminent surgeon who will address the members. He is well known In surgery throughout the world and la expected to deliver some of the most Instructive addresses of the meet ing. Several San Francisco specialists are expected to be present and con tribute to the scientific program which will be one of the best ever offered to the medical men of the northwest. A banquet and moonlight excursion on the river will be among the features of the program offered by the enter tainment committee. It was originally planned to have this meeting during the Rose Carnival, but, unfortunately, the American Med ical association meets on those dates, and as many Portland doctors have planned to attend the meeting of the parent body and have places on the program It was thought best to delay the Oregon meeting until a large at tendance could be assured.

Grading on a 10-mile railroad for the Mendota Coal company, headed by F. A. Ketchum. a Burlington contractor, will be completed May 10. The ties are on the ground and steel will be laid im mediately following the completion of the grade. The road connects with the main line of the Northern Pacific near Centralta, and when completed it is ex- Jteoted to have a strong Influence in owerlng the price of domestic and for eign coal in the Portland market next winter. The railroad Is being built by Con tractor W. F. Nelson, who la president of the Oregon Trunk Line company, and who has built other railroads in Oregon. At the Portland hotel yesterday ho said: "The Mendota Coal company has 9, 000 acres of good coal lands 10 miles east of Centralia, and has-soma very strong financial Interests back of it. The properties are to be developed at once, and In my judgment this de velopment will be of much benefit to Portland coal consumers, as these mines will be only 90 miles from Portland, with a direct and easy haul by rail. At the present time much of the coal used In Seattle Is hauled that distance or further." The Northern Paclflo railroad will, after next August, be no longer handi capped by ferrying freight trains over the Columbia river from Kalama to Ooble, but wlll. be able to pull heavy coal trains through from Cen-tralia over its continuous rails, crossing both the Columbia and Willamette rivers on new bridges. This will effect an immense change in the handling of freight ton nage, and the Northern Paclflo will become an active competitor at Port land in the supplying of coal for do mestic and steam purposes. It is be lieved that this will lead to stimulat ing Oregon roads in developing Oregon coal mines, and that within a few years there will be many new mines of good coal producing here in addition to the six new mines opened In Oregon last year. ' FiK TRAIL For Two Weeks' Vicious Men Have Terrorized Neighbor hood of New York Town. (United Press Leased Wire.) North Balem. N. Y.. May 9. With bloodhounds upon the trail, a posse of 60 men, headed by two fathers anxious to wreak vengeance for attacks upon their daughters, are scouring the for ests tonight for two men who seized two 10-year-old girls and fired the coun try home of lit. Samuel White of New York. If found the men will doubtless receive summary punishment. For two weeks the men have terror ized the entire neighborhood. The first attack was made on little Helen Cun ningham while she was going to school, Friday morning, Anna Reagan, the sec ond victim, was held up near a deserted house, blindfolded and carried Into the house. The arrival of several workmen saved her from harm. That night Dr. White's borne was burned. The outrages have so amused the community that there is general deter mination to oapture the fiends at all hazards. Cunningham and Reagan, fathers of the girls, led the pursuit.
