Nature has done much for The Dalles; so much, indeed, that but little could be asked or granted. The one piece of carelessness of whioh she was guilty, that is the leaving of obstructions to navi gation in the Columbia, has been in part corrected by a generous gov ernment, which promises to complete the good work by overcoming the obstructions above here. We cannot expect either Nature or the govern ment to do more for us than vhis, consequently we must, to reach that height of prosperity and growth to which our position entitles us, work out our own salvation. Never city had better or grander opportunities, and never one where so little efforts would return such magnificent rewards. We cannot grow and prosper without the ex penditure of efforts and money, and when either are required we should one and all unite to accomplish the object desired. We need more local pride, more reliance in and on each other, more faith in the local patriot ism of each of our fellow townsmen, and with this we must cultivate the disposition to help along each and every project that will help us all along. There is net another city in Oiegon that would rest quietly as - The Dalles has done for months with the knowledge that under her busi ness blocks, down at no great dis tance, perhaps, is lying a vast store house of wealth in the shape of coal ; that on each side of her for miles, perhaps, extended valuable coal beds, whose exploiting would make her jump from a city of 4,000 to one of 40,000 in three or four years. This we have done, this we are doing, but this we should no loDger continue to do. x Down on Chenoweth creek a few of our fellow townsmen have expend ed in the past few years between $3,000 and $4,000 attempting to prospect this coal field. They have , worked under great difficulties, and have now reached a point where they do not feel able to go farther. The work has been in charge of .an ex perienced coal miner, one who has the utmost confidence in finding a fine body of coal, and who has backed that confidence with both time and money." Every foot through which their drill has been sent is of the very best coal-measures, and where they are now tied up the drill has pene trated a body of fine iron ore over sixty feet. This ore is what has bothered them, and finally brought their work to a standstill, where it must remain, if our citizens do not ' take hold to help them. With their present appliances it is almost impos sible to do anything, the drill cutting into the iron ore just the same as if JTalls IS. Hood River W. Hood River Baldwin M osier "W.

To e;o further will require a diamond drill; to purchase a dia mond drill will require $1,000. The gentleman we have spoken of stands ready to put up $500 towards this purchase if the other $500 can be raised. Here is an opportunity to test this question of coal or no coal, and to do it cheaply. With the dia mond drill purchased it will be oper ated free of expense to anyone, and be sent down deep enough to test the matter thoroughly. Can we afford to let the rratter slip? Most assured ly not. we oeiieve n the matter is taken hold of properly the sum can. be raised, and we suggest to The Dalles Commercial Club, which has already shown its williugness and ability to handle whatever it lakes hold of, that here is a field for its energy and enterprise, and a reward worthy of the most persistent effort awaits them. Great as has been the work at the Cascades, and much as it will assist in building up our city, it will no compare, in its benefits to this city, to the results of opening a good pay in? vein of coal. The coal measures here are of the best, and we believe firmly that a diamond drill sent down two or three hundred feet further will demonstrate the fact that we have as fine a coal field as there is on the coast. If we have, let us find it out at once, and if we hive not, let us satisfy ourselves of that fact.' Fiva hundred dollars will settle the question. Can we afford to leave it unsettled ?
