a fine quality o f lignite fuel coal. It
bum s free, makes practically no

cleanest coals on the market.
“ B efore beginning actual m ining on
a com m ercial basis tbs new company
practically rebuilt everything in con

surface and below ground. Since the
advent o f the now railroad from Eu
gene to Marshfield, which connects
with the form er road running from
Marshfield to Powers, the company
has been shipping several carloads a
day by rail, besides supplying the lo
cal market along the Coquille river
and the towns o f M arshfield and
North Bead. They have been “held
back by trouble in getting experienced
men to work in the mine, but are
gradually gutting u working force or

One o f the numerous ways in which
Canada has shown its readiness to
meet em ergencies crested by the war,
is in tearing up long sections o f rail
way tracks in the Dominion, to pro
vide the alHed forces on the western
fron t in Europe with needed trans
portation lines, according to the
March Popular Mechanics M agazine.
The plan fo r collecting the rails, as
reported from Ottawa, contemplated
the rem oval o f some 800 miles o f gov
ernment railroad sidings in the East
and also long stretches o f track be
tween Edmonton and the Pacific coast
where two railw ays run parallel, the
traffic on botji lines to be accomuto
pian, it was said, owed its origin to
tne British government, which inti
mated that prom pt action o f this kind
would probubly rave thousands o f
lives, and that new rails could not oe
obtaind because o f «he demand -for
steel in making munitions. It was
estim ated in Ottawa that over 1,000
milea would be torn up in response to
the appeal.
