ANTHRACITE COAL SUPPLY!

Will tho peoplo follow al leged Itepubllenii bosses who only fall tlownf Tho new leadership of tho party, that fiaa passed Into younger and better hands, will not only onnct honest lnnd laws, but will enact tho (Int salary law. Tho now leadership stands or tho progress of the stato along bettor lines than merely tho old-fiulilouod graft and ittealtf. It stands for a butter business administration of public affairs. All tho old nbusos will not bo nbob Jnhed at once, but the biggest steals and tho wholosalo grabblug will bo stopped liy tho hands of men who pan ooucnlve of making u living without robbing their followman.

BUte Finances. Tho report of tho treasurer shows an excellent condition of tho public funds. It should bo particularly grat ifying to you to note that whllo on Octobor 1, 1902, thero was in tho hands of tho treasurer of tho irreduci ble school fund unloanod $720,135.42, thero was only 1200,301.24 at the clone of tho lost fiscal year. This has been reduce! materially slneo ' that time. Tho amount of Interest distributed to tho several counties at tho last an- portionmenl was $230,439.20, tho larg est of any in tho history of tho state. Tito princiiml of tho fund is $4,604, 20.27, and its projer investment in interest-bearing securities roqulrcs and roc til VIM tlm rvrmu nttnntlnn nt the state land board. Tho principal of tho Agricultural college fund amounts to $193,778.51, ami that of tho uuiversltv to S103.- 415.30. Only $15,382.45 of tho former aud $15,075.28 of the lattor Is'on hand and unloaued. On tho 3d day of May, 1904, Mrs. A. H. Hurbank. executrix of tho last will nnd testnment of her husband, Hon. A. H. Iiurbank. forward ed to tho governor, secretary of stato ana stnlo treasury the sum of $2,190.37 and a deed to certain lands in Yamhill, Lincoln and Multnomah counties, esti mated to bo worth about $10,030. This generous legacy wus airected to bo in vested in interest-bearing securities, tho revenue derived therefrom to bo used for tho Orohnns' Home nt ftnlnm and Portland, it would be a gracious act upon the part of your body to rec ognise by concurrent resolution your appreciation, as representatives of tho people, of this splendid legney to tho unfortunate orphans of tho state, thanking Mr Hurbank for the fidelity shown by her lu carrying out tho wishes of her lato husband. Iho treasurer's report Is complete in an us ueiuus, ana snows with nnxxt particularity the financial condition und standing of the state. Taxation. Tho.experleuco of the last legisla ture should bo a warning to this not to attempt too much in the wav of amending statute ou tho subject of taxation. A general amendatory stat ute hastily (Missed then necessitated tha convening of the legislsturo in special session to euro defects that in validated tho same. That the laws of tho state bearing upon this subject are badly out of joint and sadly la need of revision goes without saying. There is a gen sonal nroncrtv and money and 1m provements on real property. This is susceptible of demonstration beyond any doubt. Tho summaries of tbo as sessment rolls of the various counties for 1903 as filed in the oflico of the secrotary of state, show thnt tho value of improvements on deeded and un heeded lands was $U,40o,46L', and on town and city lota was $31,192,221, or a total aswsaed valuation of nil im provements, $40,597,683. Tho risks written by fire insurance companies on property situated within tho, stato for tho year ending December, 1903, amounted to $95,531,484.84. It is safo to say that more than 80 per cent of this insuranco is upon improvements upon real property. When it is remem bered that a very luri;e part of those improvements carry no insurance, and thnt property is usually insured for only about half its value, it will be scon at a glnnro what nn enormous valuation on this class of property alone oscapes, taxntion. The assessed value of money for tho same year was $1,375,970. If auy one is interested enough in the subject to give it pass ing consideration, he will ascertain from an examination of the last re ports to the comptroller of the cur rency made by the notional banks of the state, that there aro ninny single banking institutions that havo on da posit amounts largely in excesi of tho total assessment on monoy. Again, a reference to tho abstract of tho as sessment rolls from 1893 to 1903 ill. closes that monev was assessod in 1893 at $3,130,937, and in 1903 at $1,375, 970, a decroaso of $1,701,017, whilo tho U)tal assessed valuation of all property for 1893 was $1C8,0S8,905, and in 1003 ouly $173,559,888, an incrcaso in 10 years of only $5.470,9S3. Kvery ono knows thnt this Is nut n fnilif..l in dex of the growth in wealth in our state in 10 years. What is the reiult of this fnilure upon tho imrt nf m.m. ty officials to asw the property of YoungstowB, Ohio, Jan. l-t" abstaining absolutely from ioou .j Hv. since October 28th, James Wil liams, of East Long Avenue and Grimes streets, bids fair to recover mm protracted and self-imposed fast, says tho New Castle News, lie was w to tho hospital New Year's day, and is now under treatmfnt there. Ho began tho fast in accordance with what ho believed to be a call from God to him to deny himself food. Nothing ' friends could say induced him to eat, and tho attending physicians says that ho has been without any solid nourish ment for almost eight weeks. This has been a terrible strain upon his physical system, and his condition is now very sorious. Wednesday ho was able to partake of a very small quantity of isilk, and tbo quantity will bo Increased as rapidly as possible, without injuring the stomach, so long without nourishment. Mr. Williams is a carpenter, and was not in ill health before be entered up on his protracted fast, "which exceeds in length many of those undertakon with far more publicity. His caso is re markable, in that he lives and has a good chaneo for recovery. sion of the comforting conception 'of immortality from tho standpoint of tho scientific physician rather than that from that of the philosopher or theol- gian. . . . Prof. Osier's little book is worthy of him as a disciple of Sir Tbos. The prediction of Edward W. Parker of tho United States Geological survoy, of a coal faniino in fifty years, ia dis puted by tho officers of tho Beading Coal and iron uompany who say that their company alono can supply the world with anthracito for tho next fif- ty years. Thoy estimato that in the virgin basin of hard coal oxtending from Pottsville up tho Schuylkill val- ley toward Tamaqua thoro aro 5,000- 000,000 tons of anthracito. "It is trus that tho coal supply in tho upper part of tho region has reachod its limit," they say, "and moro and moro the great southern basin, ownod exclusive ly by tbo Heading company, must bo drawn upon to a greater oxtont, but it Is also strictly truo to say that within ten miles of tho Heading Coal & Iron Company's headquarters in Pottsville thero is as much hard coal as has over been mined." It was in this unralned region that hard coal was discovered and it was also in this region that the utility of hard coal for blast furnaces was first established. Tho shallow voias north of this region proved cheaper to operate, and as a conscquonco tho bie basin of tho Reading company has re mained almost untouched. Tho coal ia this basin llos much doopor than the veins operated at presont by tho com pany, and tho oxponso of jniningt will' bo correspondingly groator. This will not bo superlatively cheerful news to the consumer. Ho may console himsolf of courso that ho will bo able to keen himsolf reasonably warm for tho. neat fifty years, but tho realization that he Hrowne, and wo can only hope that this, a modern 'Religio Medici ' will bo widely read and thoroughly studied by wi" iiavo to Pft7 moro oach year for both lay and medical readers." tho pleasure of kooping warm -will more than offset tho consolation.
