The Rainbow is far and away beyond what I had been told, and what I have seen in that country down there convinces me that this state has the greatest mineral possibilities of any in the Union. If the mineral which is in sight in southern Oregon was in Colorado there would be a stampede tomorrow which would equal that at Cripple Creek at the beginning of the ’90s. You people of this town nnd state are sound asleep as far as your mineral wealth is con­ cerned.

A Praciical Case in Point. That was a rather significant in­ terview with the agent-of the Cali­ fornia & Oregon Coast Steamship company which was published in The Journal yesterday. It took up the question which has recently been agitated in this paper of why with all the advantages of contiguity in our favor nearly all the trade of the Coos bay soction went to San Francisco rather than to Portland. It made very plain the fact that it was duo to two circumstances. First, the country was being developed by San Francisco capital, and sec­ ond, very little of what the Coos hay country had to sell was brought to Portland. This is an explanation that really explains. As it happens one of the most important of all the Coos hay ex­ ports is coal. We are told this coal is o f good quality and quite equal to much for Which a fancy price is now being paid in Portland. Coal is an important factor to our well being and each year it is growing more so. If the Coos bay coal meets the requirements its develop­ ment will be a distinct benefit to the state. It is likewise certain that as a matter of state pride we should not be above using it upon equal terms with coal brought from points outside the state. There is an ele­ ment of reciprocity in all these things. We send considerable in tho way of merchandise to Coos hay but we take little in return. Why should not the board of trade ap­ point a committee to make a little practical study of this question? If the Coos bay coal were brought here in considerable quantities and sold it seems self-evident that our relations would immediately become closer. It would mean, too, that better means of communication would soon be established and that would lead to better roads, the con­ dition of which now, too often, is almost impassable during the winter months. It seems to The Journal well worth while to take up matters such as these for it is the accumulation of them which means the extension of Portlanl’s trade which is at the basis of Portland’s growth and prosperity.— Portland Journal. The Life of a Russian Soldier. Martiu Markason, formerly an officer in the Russian army, gives this interesting glimpse of the life of the soldier of the Czar: “ In Russia the land is nearly all owned by monopoly of barons and the mines are owned by the govern­ ment and a farmer would consider himself very luokv if he owned from one to ten acres of land. The poor farmers, both men and women, work from daylight till dark for from about 25 to 50 cents a day and the farm worker who does not own any land is very fortunate if he gets a share of the crop and* a small amount of cash. The farm workers have no stated hours of labor, but arc compelled to work as long as the foreman wishes them to. They are compelled to work upon the land of tho priests free of charpe and mast donate anything that they possess upon request. They believe that the Czar is the god of the land. “ When one considers that in the Russian Army a private draws but 90 cents a quarter, a corporal $1.10, a sergoant $4.50 and a first ser­ geant about $25 a year, one can easily imagine what tho officers get. Out of this money the men must keep their shoes polished and their clothes neat. I f they have any more money at all thoy must get it from home. “The rations consist of two meals a day. The men are allowed three pounds of black rye bread a day and one-half pound of meat and one quart of soup. In the evening all that they get is mush. The bread is issued for five or ten days ahead and if the soldier has any loft he takes it into the market and sells it. Tho only hope that the soldier has of increasing his income is by working for the land barons during harvest time, when they aro often detailed by the government to do tho work. For this service they are allowed about 50 cents a day. “Their hatred of the Jews arises from the fact that they aro jealous of the prosperity of that race.” — Portland Journal.
