The first coal mine to be worked in
Oregon will be by a Dalles man, our
well-known citizen, Mr. F. Drews, who
leaves today., for his discovery, men
tioned in these columns last summer,
fifteen miles up the Clackamas river
and about the same distance east from
Oregon City. by air line.
For the last two summers Mr. Drews
has been prospecting in the Cascade
mountains for mineral, and one day,
while tramping the hills about two
miles from a little village called Kerns
ville, stumbled upon the prospect. It
is . not concealed at all, but crops right
out in open sight.
It is on eighty acres of land, taken as
a homestead by one F. Bullard October
15th; 1889, and this coming October he
could have proved up on it.: Now, how
ever, he will not be permitted to do so,
because Mr. Drews has entered it for
coal and will contest Mr. " Bullard. The
grounds of contest are that "said -entry
is covered by land that is chiefly valua
ble for a coal vein, six feet, in depth,
which renders eaid land mineral in char
acter and not subject to said entry.''
Land of this nature must be paid " for at
the . rate of $20 per acre, and it will
plainly be seen that if Mr Bullard
could have proved up on it he would
have saved $1,600 and defranded the
government ont of that amount. Bul
lard has one chance of redeeming him
self, however ..and that is to at once enter
an adjoining piece across the river as
coal land, for the same vein 4ips. into
the hill on the opposite side of . the river
from Mr. Drews' discovery, and if be is
wise' he will take time by the forelock
and make such an -entry. "
Mr. Drews leaves today for the mine.
where he will at once open it bp. . He
promises - to send a sack of the coal to
Thu Chronicle office for exhibition.
It is hard coal, and is believed to be of
superior quality, especially valuable for
blacksmiths. If such is the case it will
bring a fancy price. "'
Only two other coal fields have bo far
been discovered in Oregon, one at -Ya-
qaina bay and one 26 miles below Port
land. 'It is proposed, to open up the
latter this summer, and take out of it
50,000 tons. ' .';-:

Very Nlmblo Chinamen.
An amusing contest occurred Tuesday
at The Dalles cannery, between two
Chinamen, each of whom had a conceit
that he "was the -quickest' workman at
soldering cans. So confident was each
of his ability that a bet of mammoth
proportions (for them) was readily
made. The bet was two chickens and
two bottles of Chinese wine, the loser to
pay for them, - and the contest to be of
five hours duration. At the stroke of
the clock they set to work and for a few
minutes were very - quiet, as -each a p
pliied himself to his task. But soon one
of them made a remark in his native
language, which was somewhat snap
pishly responded to before the words
were fairly out of ' his mouth.. The talk
immediately became animated, and the
two chirruped away like a flock of mag
pies, their fingers - meanwhile twinkling
with movements too rapid for the eye.
As the clock struck again, the two quit
and a count began.; The result was a
great surprise to the interested white
spectators.. One of the contestants had
soldered 1909 cans, -and the other 1910,
or an average of over six a minute.

A Strange Transformation.
In the museum of natural history at
tive of. the south of Ireland, who was
called the ossified man. His body be
came ossified during- his lifetime. He
lived iq that condition for years. Pre
vious to the change he had been a
healthy young- fellow of superior
strength and agility. . One night he
slept out in a field after a debauch and
some time later he felt the first symp
toms of - the strange transformation.
The doctors could do nothing- to avert
the progress of his malady. His joints
stiffened. When he wanted to lie down
or rise he required assistance. .He
could not - bend his body, and when
placed upright he resembled a statue
of stone.. He could stand, but not
move jti the . least. - His ' teeth "- -were
joined and became an entire bone. The
doctors, in order to administer nourish
ment, had to make a hole through
them. , He lost the use of his tongue
and his sight left him before he died.. .
TO IMPROVE ROADS.
ABuslness Meeting: of Citizens and Its
Satisfactory Kndinfr.
Faris Police Methods.
" When a prisoner resists Paris police
they take off one of his shoes and com
pel him to walk like "My son John."
He is so hampered usually by this
treatment that- there is no further
trouble. If this is not enough they
cut his trousers buttons and force him
to use his free hand -to hold on to his
garments.
A meeting of citizens took place last
evening in the hall over The Chronicle
office to consider the matter of improv
ing ' what is known as the "Currant
creek road," and to listen to a report on
same by Mr. Sherar, who bad selected a
new route.
Judge Blakeley called the meeting to
order and was elected chairman. He
stated the object of the meeting to be
the consideration of plans to improve
our county roads, and in his remarks
especially favored the route reported by
Mr. Sherar a proposed road about
fifteen miles in length between Cold
camp and the junction of Muddy and
Currant creeks. Under present condi
tions, freight could be hauled to Arling
ton about J of a cent cheaper than to
The Dalles. The people generally had a
preference for The Dalles, but needed a
better road to get there. .The cost of
the contemplated road would be about
$1,000.
Mr. Dan French was a hearty advo
cate of the plan, but wanted to be sure
the funds were expended to the bes. ad
vantage. He had befoie subscribed
money for road work which had been
practically thrown away. ' He would
give nothing on this occasion unless the
funds were to be placed in Mr. Sberar's
hands, who was an experienced and
successful road-builder. He asked as to
how much was needed. '
Mr. Sherar replied to the question
that $1,000 would be ample, and later
started the list by subscribing $100 him
self. He believed that if $800 could be
raised in The Dalles he could secure $200
from Prineville and Antelope.' With
the eptire sum be guaranteed to make a
good road and one that would be s
pleasure to travel over. The route now
traveled has grades of five feet to the
rod, while in no place by the new route
would the grade exceed sixteen inches.
A subscription paper was drawn up
and placed in the hands of a committee
for signatures of citizens not present.
Five hundred dollars were subscribed at
the meeting. The subscription paper
was placed in the hands of Messrs. E.
C. Pease, J. P. Mclnerny, H. J. Maier
and S. T. Peters to b circulated today.
Dp to 12 o'clock $650 had been raised.
"All human history attests
That happiness for mm, the hungry sinner!
Since Eve ate apples, much depends on dinner.'
And a good liver is absolutely essent
ial for appreciating a good dinner. - Lord
Byron knew that as well as anybody.
One of his greatest regrets was "for his
weak stomach. . "God, man!" his lord
ship would say, "why don't one of these
infernal doctors invent a liver medi
cine. Byron would never have asked that
qnestion were he now living. Why?
Because he wonld have been using Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, an absolutely
sure cure for constipation, indigestion,
bilious attacks, and all derangements
of liver, stomach and bowels. -There is
no griping or violence about these pills,
and they're guaranteed to give satisfac
tion, or your money is refunded. Don't
live with the stomach weak, when the
cure is within your reach for 25 cents.

Dr. Sage's catarrh remedy. It's $500
reward for an incurable case. -
