Ult taken it place In the commercial
world, and with thousand! of ton of
the foreign coal a drug on the market
very ton of the local product 1 finding
ready sales. So great has been- the
Impetus given the Industry that six new
mines have been opened within a radius
oi iuu . mues rrom roruua ourmi ma
iast year. 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. The home mining in.
dustry is here to stay and it seems the
sooner the big fuel companies realize
this the better it will he I or tnem.

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.

Smith, according to a" complaint filed
in the circuit court by Mrs. Smith, In
Which she necks divorce on the ground

It was on February 11, a little less
than three months ago, that the Smiths
were united, supposedly for life. But
their relations soon ' became strained.
Mr. Smith says that on April 1, in
the presence of Mrs. B. Brooker, her
husband called her a bad name and
added, "There are no words In the Eng

opinion of you." Five days later, she

FOR PORTLAND
Opening of Mendota Mines
Will Benefit the Consum
ers of This City.
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.

action as may at the time seem for

"It Is for a convention so constructed

has contended.
