Coal for Market. ' "..
In the country surrounding Stella,
Cowlits county, Wash., it has been
known for a number of years that crop-
pings of coal have been discovered, and
some prospecting and development
work hare been done. The coal assay'
d well, and it was comparatively easy
of access, bnt for some reason it was
fonnd difficult to interest capital suffl
cient to mine and ship the coal on
large enough seals to make it profit
ble. and the man whe owned the most
valuable properties in that locality had
not the means to do so himself. About
six months ago the following capital'
lata of The Dalles became Interested in
the property: Hon. - Malcolm A
Moody, J. M. French, J. B. Molnerny
and J. Nicholas. They employed
practical mining engineer who had had
experience in this character of work,
and had a thorough inspection of the
properties made. The result was that
they formed a company giving the
owner of the land a half interest in
paid-up, noc-assessable stock, while
they agreed to furnish all the money
necessary. They purchased machine) y
of the latest design in the East, and
most of it has arrived and been set up.
It is the expectation of the company
to have coal from its mine on the
market within 60 days of a quality
equal to any that is now used in the
Konhweet, and at a price very much
below that at which it is now sold
In carrying out their present plans
they will baud a railroad from Stella,
four miles np Cold creek to where the
mine is located.

vine, Idaho. The sale embraces the
Bert Rigley, foung and Bobbins inter
ests, representing one-half of the mine,
for 9125,000 cash. Sweeney bad pre
viously secured the other interests for
which be paid about $76,000. The
deal on the property has been pending
many months.

of the iron aud steel trade of late.
That the basis conditions of trade re
main on the whole more favorable is,
however, evidenced by a number of
features. Railroad earnings continus

clearings is chargeable largely to relig'
ious and other holiday observances, and
to restricted a toot speculation.
It has been a weather market for the

Wool is weak, but there is rather
more inquiry, and now, as one year

Backward weather conditions have

the advanced prices demanded are cred

TOO MUCH INTRODUCING!.

Oar Method,
"It took me some Urns to grasp ths
American point ot Tlew In regard to
letters ot Introduction," said an En
glish traveler, chatting over American
characteristics. "When ws five a man
a letter of Introduction at home, ws
consider that we are vouching for him
socially, financially and every other
way, so, needless to say, it Is never
done except among relatives . or the
closest friends. Here you don't seem
to take the thlug seriously. When I
was lu Washington last week I was lu
trod need to a very pleasant geutluiuun
In the real estate busliiMs, and cbauced
to mention that I was going to Nash'
vllle next day. "Oh, Indeed!' he said.
'then I'll just give you a Una to an old
chuin of mine there,' and Immediately
he took out a pad of paper and began
writing. By the way,' be remarked,
after Jotting down a few words, 'i

Is the proper spelling Y The Idea of a
stranger giving urn a letter of Introduc
tion to an Intimate friend when he
didu't eve nknow my name struck me
as very strange and amusing. How
ever, I took It with thanks, and later
found the Nashville man a very charm
Ing fellow. When I left he Insisted on
giving me a note to a friend In Mem
phis, who proved equally charming,
and who. In turn, supplied me with an
Introduction to a promluent clubman
here In New Orleans.
"The last letter I haven't presented,
snd don't intend to. because It coutalus
a glariug, though Inadvertent misstate
ment In referring to me as an old and
cherished friend of the good-natured
gentlemen of Nashville and Washing

me up an entirely fictitious character,
snd 'pon my word, I can't understand
why such friendliness Is not continual
ly and outrageously abused by linims
tors. I'm sure It would be on our side
of the watcr."--Ba!tiiuore News.
Why He Got It.
There Is a seuttment common to the
most of mankind which makes one's
own home and neighbors the best there
sre In the world, and even a stranger
who balls from the home town the most
welcome friend to be met away from
there. Nevertheless, such an lllustra
tlon of It as the following, told by Gen.
Sir Redvers Buller, Is rare:
The story wss told the Rev. 8. Bar-
Ing-GouKl by Gen. Buller himself, and
Is narrated In the author's words as far
ss possible.
81r Redvers was on his way, with a
regiment of soldiers, to Canada. Off
the entrance of the 8L Lawrence the
vessel was enveloped In fogs and de
layed so that provisions ran short. Now
there was a station on an Islet with
supplies for shipwrecked mariners, so
Sir Redvers went ashore In a boat, to
visit the store and ask for assistance.
When he applied be found a woman
only In charge.
"No," said she, "the supplies are for
those who are shipwrecked not for
such as you."
"But this Is a Government depot, and
we are servants of the crown."
Can't help It; you're not shipwreck
ed."
There was a very recognizable Into
nation In the woman's voice. Sir Red
vers at once assumed the Cornish ac
cent, and said: "What, not for dear
old One and All, and I a Bullerr
What, from Cornwall, and a Bulerl
Take everything there Is In the place;
you're heartily welcome!"
Origin of Rod aad Line.
Obviously the answer to the conun
drum, "Who discovered rod-fishing In
the seal" Is the first msa who found
be ceuld not dangle effectively a band-
tine over the edge of some precipitous
shore, with rocks projecting st the
foot Later, when this noble savsge
began to burn out trees to make boats,
the fisherman of the period doubtless
boomed out a line on each slds of the
craft of the period so as to enable him
to work four lines.
Go to the wildest portions of these
Islands and we find the same practices
continued. In the far north, little
barelegged Highlanders sit on steep
rocks bobbing for cuddles, rod In band,
and without doubt much the same
thing may have been seen any summer
this century or two, as long. Indeed, as
there have been cuddles and laddies to
catch tbem.
Go to the northwest of Ireland, and
there the descendants of wild men
row or sail, with bamboo rods, stuck
out from the sterns of their boats, like
quill stuck by wicked pupils In wigs
of eighteenth century pedagogues.
Files, mind yon, at the end of the
lines. Real fly-fishing In the sea, and
catching glissaunes (youthful coal fish)
by the hundred. And this dons for
ages; and people want to know who
discovered or Introduced rod-fishing In
the seat Why, the practice Is as old as
the hills, metapborlaclly speaking per
haps older than some hills. Fishing

The Bride aad Groom.
"The wedding ring completes the cir
cle, typical as Is the ring Itself of the
perpetuity of the compact," writes Mrs.
Burton Klngsland In the Ladies' Home
Journal. "Inside the ring alwsys a
plain gold one are engraved the ini
tials of bride and bridegroom, and the
date of the marriage. It Is placed on
the third finger of the left hand be
cause of the fanciful conceit that from
that finger a nerve goes straight to the
heart.
"Some say that the word 'obey In
the msrrlsge service Is an anachronism
and holds only those who choose to
be bound, but Amerlcsn women do not
often feel their chains. In some prov
inces of Russia the bride's father gives
ber a little cut with a whip, which In
strument of correction be then pre
sents to the groom for future emergen
cies. "The kiss formerly given by the
young husband to his bride sfter the
words, 'I pronounce you man and
wife' for which so many rehearsals
were necesssry bos gone out of fash
ion. "It Is a time-honored observance of
wedding etiquette that the bride shall
not be seen by the bridegroom on the
fateful day until she sppears coming
up the aisle to meet bltn. Hence ths
custom of the bridegroom's waiting at
the altar. Tbs bridal procession Is for
bltn not a pageant for the guests."

My Dear Carlton: I know it will
please you to learn that my homeward

where, either in this country or abroad;
the food and cooking waa all that could
be desired, and at very moderate prices,
It you happen to know the Bio Grande

to them that it will afford me the
greatest pleasure at all times to bear
testimony anywhere to ths above tacts,
Very truly yours,

British Arlatoeraey Blamed.
Many people attribute the recent rever
ses of the British to ths ili genermiv of the
aristocracy, The life of luxury certainly
doe not produce vigor. Imtigeiitltile sup
tiers, late hours, constant nerve strain and
laek of exercise upset the stomach, and
weaken both physical and mental vllnllty.
The blood that make men heroes must
coma from active, healthy stomachs. Hot
tetter's Ktomach Hitters purine the blood
and strengthens the stomach. It cures
constipation, Indigestion, dyspepsia and
biliousness.
The street oars of Havana are heavy,
cumbersome, old style cars, drawn 'by

at the doubletree, all ot them hitched
too far from the car for economy of
effort on the part of the little beasts or
successful handling by the driver.
