WE HAVE THE COAL.
Besides the immense stock inter
ests of this section, interests that
produce for shipment annually 25,
D00 head of cattle, 200,000 sheep,
and 8,000,000 pounds of wool ; be
sides these and the 2,000,000 bushels
of wheat shipped from Wasco and
Sherman counties, the immense
amount of fruit, aDd the great yield
of salmon that keeps four canneries
running during the season, there is
undoubtedly stored up in the ground
right here in the vicinity of our city
untold treasures in the shape of
coal. , Borings made in the city for
water have passed through a broken
vein of coal of good quality at a
depth of from 50 to 70 feet, but so
far no, effort has been made to pros
pect the discovery.
We have called attention to the
ooatter,several times, and are glad to
state that there is a prospect ot the'
means being raised to examine into
it. The coal measures are the very
best, consisting of conglomerates and
sand shales, and if we have not a
good paying vein of coal here, all
indications lie. The opening of a
good vein of boal here means the
immediate doubling of business,
property values and population.
We urge those having the matter in
charge to bend every effort to the ac
complishmert of the work so that by
spring we may announce to the
world that Nature has denied us
nothing.
We have the finest fruit lands, the
most valuable fisheries, fine wheat
lands, and the mighty slopes of the
Cascades furnish the stockmen with
ideal ranges. The surface of the
earth and the bosom, of the river
yield immense products; and surely
after everything else Nature never
forgot to put the black ' diamonds
down under the sand shales to com
plete the perfection of her works.
At Portland Wednesday evening
Mrs. Jones, a partially demented
colored woman, attempted to com
mit suicide by driving an ice pick
through her skull and five inches
into her brain. She held the pick
against her head and drove it in
with a hatchet. It is remarkable
that she was able to stand up and
keep hammering the ice pick after it
had penetrated the brain at all, but
it is no more astonishing than the
statement made today that she will
probably recover. The case excites
some interest as to the woman's
mental condition should she recover,
The doctor's have expressed no opin
ion on that subject, but it. strikes
that she may have punctured the
seat of her mental unbalancing, and
if the Medicos do a good job of
plumbing, we ' see no reason why it
would not be possible for her to re
cover the use of what brain she has
left.
Arizona will again make applica
tion for statehood, and she makes a
pretty good showing too, with more
than $13,000,000 a year in mineral
products. Besides this she shipped
in the last eighteen months 597,876
head of cattle. Her population is
large enough to entitle her to one
congressman under the apportion
ment now in force, and there seems
to be no good reason "why she should
not be admitted. New Mexico, will
probably also make application for
admission into the TJnion, and it is
more than likely every territory es:-
cept Alaska and Indian Territory
will bemade states during McKinley's
administration. .
The papers ot the state are almost
unanimous in their demand for a
registration ' law. The Australian
ballot system is the most nearly per-
feet of any ever devised ; all it lacks
is a good registration !aw tfeat will
prevent absolutely colonization and
repeating. A law that will give
every citizen a voie, and Lave th:it
vote counted, is all that is needed,
and a registration law will do this,
because it prevents colonization, acd
the killing of legal votes by illegal
ones.
While Weyler was out looking for
Maceo, and. regretting his inability
to find him, that clever general, just
to show the world that he was not
liable to be starved out in the
mountains, made an attack . on the
suburbs of Havana, and killed over
300 Spanish troops in the attack.
Weyler looking for Maceo is much
like cur ever-present hobo looking
for work.
An enthusiastic reporter on the
Oregonian heads a local, "Hail,
Blessed Chinook!" Portland may
not have had enough yet, but up
this way we have had all the hail we
want. Our most urgent desire is
that the blessed chinook reign.
