n. Brown co.,s Of the Far West

A recent number of the Codi Trade
Journal contained the following: The
United Territories and the States on the
Pacific Cosst do not contain any coal o
the carboniferous age, but they contain
an abundance of the kind of fossil fuel
called Ignite or brown coal This lig-
mite which is found in the earth like
coal, and has Its appearances AMI uses,
and is. therefore, entitled to be called
coal, occurs in greater or less quantities
in all, or nearly all the states and terri
tories between the Missouri river and
the Pacific Coast The principal lccali
ties where it is most in demand ana found
of the best quality are along the line Of
the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific
railroads, in the southern part of Wyom-
ing and the northern part of Colorado.
II is also abundant on the Northern
Pacific railroad. Ignite tends to crunl-
BILE soon after exposure to the weather.
This tendency is great cause Of waste 1T
the nines-all the greater that those ter
t,ary Goals can scarcely ever be made to
melt and agglutinate into firm coke.
As ascertained by their analysis, they all
contain water in their composition
Hence it is difficult to obtain strong,
concentrated heat, such az is needed for
weliing in the forge fire. As fuel Tor
locomotive and domestic uses, including
cooking as well as warming, hgnite ID
general answers well. Ii kindles and
burns freely, making bright fire with a
yellow blaze and comparatively little
smoke. The odor of the smoke resem-
bles the smell of burning peat.
The presence OF iron pyrites in Ignite
is an Objectionable feature, producing
danger of spontaneous combustion. The
iron pyrites can be removed by washing
Much of Ignite of the Pacific Coast Is
more compact, approaches nearer to true
coal, and furnishes better fuel than that
of the upper Missouri. Its great defect,
however, is a tendency to erumble by ex-
posure. To convert Ignite into good
transportable fuel adapted to manuiae,
turing and domestic purposes is claimed
to be feasible. Some recent processes
for utilizing Litumini"us coal dust are Il
be applied to its preparation, and in thi:
way 1t Is hoped that the vast Ignite bed:
of the west, now nearly worthless, will
be converted into valuable sources of fue

Sickened With the sack.

Last week an old resident Of Stockton
delivered lecture before club in that
city, and the following extract is made
from the Mail report
| honestly believe that there are some
people in San joaquin county who des-
pise me, and would spit upon my old
battered dusty hat and well worn clothes,
if they dared, merely because | am saving
and peddled fish on my wedding trip.
But can take out my money sack and
make them all sick.
This calls to mind an incident in the
early history of San Francisco. There
was an old man known as the "Gutter
Snipe," who went round the streets pick
Ing up refuse matter and eating it. He
lived i'll little dirty room like beast Ill
a pen and ate only what he could find in
the gutter, always refusing clarity, and
those who pitied the mans misfortunes
and poverty would frequently throw
bread and meat in the gutter for HIM To
find One day he picked up a quarter of
nFnI'-x inns:"'""'uu~anu;' slt" a" AnHn4
meal" said a bystander "Td rather
save the money" was the reply and he
fell to picking up the scraps again At
this the crowd laughed derisively and
the "Gutter Snipe" turning upon them
said, You think care for money. III
throw single handed more twenty dollar
pieces in the bay than your crowd can
combined" They thought it would be a
grand sight to see the "Gutter Snipe"
throw twenty dollar pieces into the
water and they went down to the foot of
Commercial street wharf where it was
agreed that they would throw away as
much as he. The old man opened the
ball by casting Eve twenties into the
water. The astonished seoffers held back,
but The crowd laughed and jeered and
they were obliged to follow suit. The
old man instantly pitched FIVE more gold
pieces into the water, at which his tor
mentors paused, and then skunk away up
town. As they turned away he hurled
another hundred into the water, as if he
cared much less for the gold than the gar
bage he fished up from the gutter. Then
he turned away remarking, " can make

Answer and Question.

1t has been asked of us if we set Our
selves up as authority against the major
ity IF doctors in Walla Walla? Certain
ly not, as against the respected and we'll
known members of the fraternity, but
against the dishonorable quacks who in
vest the city, Ne most certainly do. And
now as turn about is fair play We will
ash the respectable doctors question. BY
what authority, gentlemen, do you,
nearly all, Sc, yourselves up against the
majority Of the doctors of the United
States J The same complaint that exists
here RACES in the east, but there the doc
tors are honest enough to say that it baf-
fies them. Is it possible that Walla
Walla possesses disciples of Esculapius so
far in advance of those in older civiliza-
tions that what eludes others is clear
t. them ! 1t may be possible, but We teg
to be excused from the attempt to make
the world believe it. The labors Of
Sisyphus wonld be preferable.

There is possibility that the average
speed of railroad travelling Is about TO be
doubled on the straight roads and easy
grades of the eastern states A locemo-
tive has been built in the Patterson icco-
motive works on plans furnished by Eu.
gine Fontaine, locomotive engineer OF
Detroit. which Mr.. Fontaine believes
will make ninety miles an hour as regu-
lar thing. 1t has three pairs OF driving
wheels, two pairs As on ordinary locomo-
tives, while the third pair is on the top
Of the boiler, in front Of the cab The
ton drivers run in one direstion and the
lower ones in another. The engine
weighs SO tons, and carries l30 pounds
Of steam. The first engine OF the kind,
not SO perfect a. the second engine, on
the Canada Southern road, hauling two
coaches. ran Ill miles in % minutes,
carrying W. II. Vanderbilt and other
railroad kings. The engineer in charge
said it rode like parlor car and ran like
a bird and he thinks there is no more
danger than in running an ordinary loco
motive at 30 miles an hour, because " 1t
hugs the irons and is as steady as
clock" Ii this dream is realized, men
will. within the coming decade travel
from New York to San Francisco IN AZ
hours, including all stoppages, From
Chicago or St. Louis to New York the
tourney will be completed between break
fast and dinner. If trials prove that
such a speed can be obtained with
reasonable safety. there is very little
doubt that the public demand will make
it necessary for all roads to adopt the
new style Of locomotive. There are very
few Americans who are going to spend
two days on a car when some other line
will take them through in half the time.
1 There is nice scientific question TO be
settled, however, before this plan can be
definitely settled upon. There are scien'
lists who claim that the laws which
govern motion lose their control when
speed Of little more than mile min
ute is obtained, and that car running
one mile and half minute would be
Just as liable to leave the rails and TAKE
to tn. fields as a Wild mustang wOuld
we're he to lose off his bridle. Still, wher
we think how shocked the scientific mel
of Great Britain were when Rober
Stephenson assured them that by his IN
vention trains carrying freight and pas
sengers could be transported at the rat
of IL miles al hour, We ought not Il
be startled to hear an enthusiast promise
that speed of six times fifteen miles /
shortly to be obtained. Who says this II
not a fast agel

The Portland papers are dealing heavy
blows at this upper country. one paper
states that there were no less than 200
cases of smallpox in Walla Walla and
that 30 had proved fatal, There is a
disease in the surrounding country some
what resembling it, but II is not small
pOx, and the doctors know it but having
got off wrong, they are foolish enough to
stick it out Since the shooting Of the
President the intelligent public have
learned to place very little faith in what
doctors say. Professional courtesy" +"

statement, is played out when the bus!-
ness of a city suffers in consequence.

IN looking over our notes referring to
east the mountains members to whom
credit was given for securing ben ehcia
legislation We find that We or the type
setter inadvertently omitted the name of
Hon. ". G. Preston, Of Waitsburg.
This We regret but We now make the
omeade by repeating what We heard a
democrat say Of him while at the capital.
that, ''Althougha republican, Mr. Preston
is one of the most unpartizan, active and
industrious members II the house, and
his judgment is always right when sub
iects of business policy are under CON
sideration."

QUAR,SrrxED.-We unl rstand that the
town OF Dayton, W. T., owing to the preva-
lence of smallpox there, has Eeen quaran-
tined by the authorities, no one being allowed
to pass into or out Of it except the mail
agent. who no doubt feels highly honored b,
this unjust discrimination" in his favor.
The above from Portland paper Of the
latest date is fair sample OF the lies which
are being disseminated al over tine lover
country to the injury of business in every
department, caused by the foolishness of a
few doctors of this city. We haze them
alone to thank for the present dali tim's.

A PETITION is being sent to the direc'

Pro Bono Publico.

For the simple reason that the STATES
MAN has considered it it's duty out Of re-
gard for the business interests of Walla
Walla to challenge the assertions Of few
doctors that the complaint now existing
is bona -f,fs smallpox, some dlsh"n"rable
members Of the fraternity have made il
their business to attempt to lnJure our
business. In this connection We have
this to say, from present Indications some
Of the trate,",ty "H soon require " de-
fender. The begearly patronage received
by newspaper from them costs more
than il is worth, and all We ask is simply
that those owing this office will come for

The H..dwri.i.s on the Wall.

Great interest has been taken in the
article appearing in last Fridays issue OF
the DArLy SrArEsNAS on the subject oi
loading ships with our grain on our own
tide water front in preference to the bur
densome system 30 long in vogue OF
transporting it II miles up the Villa
met.e and back again with the extra e1-
pen.e caused by utterly suPerhuous trans
portation, handling, wharfage, and the
usual wastage. With the exception OF the
Tacoma Ledger, the STATEsNAS Is the
only paper in the Territory that has made
it its business to work for the complete
adoption Of this desirable route 30 far
As this paper is concerned We think IT Is
nothing more than our duty TO give all
the facts and figures favorable to the
route to the world and We shall do 1t no
matter how much Portland may feel az
grieved or their papers abuse u.s. 1t Is
sufficient for us that the people have en-
dorsed our articles that have appeared III
these columns.
Since their appearance the same causes
which originated them-the shoals and
bars Of the lower riyer-hare again as
serted themselves, and it now only re-
mains for our merchants, shippers and
producers, without distinction OF class, to
force the issue between Portland on the
one hand and the Sound on the other
With the completion Of the railroad to
the Lower Cascades there remains to our
new shipping point at kalama one OF the
finest streams in the world for high
draught vessels which would require no
power except the natural current oi The
river TO carry them, grain laden to their
destination, where they can be reloaded
with coal, iron, lumber, fish and other
articles of commerce for which Puget
Sound Is famous.
The simplicity of the above route Is
obvious TO all who understand the river,
and with the present rates to Tacoma
that are nov being paid to the inland
shoal harbor of Portland, the producers
east of the Cascades would at length be
placed on an even footing with Their
brethren in more favored localities near
water. Portland will fight this plan
and will avail herself of every weapon
within her grasp; but if our people are
defeated il will be their own fault or by
traitors here among us.
