II Is said that the Northern Pacific
Company. In building to Portland.
will run its road through the town of
Vancouver. This Is too surprising for
belief. II that company has ever bs-
gun a road at any town. ended ct any
town. or run through shy town. we
have yet to learn 1t. II has never built
where the road was wanted by the PEG.
pie. whom 10 has in every case avoided
or left to one side. The one satisfac>
ton for this Is that. while it has been
an injury to the people. 1t hasn't pros.

at Irondsle. we learn that he had Just
pot up q monster pit containing
245 cords of wood. This, we be-
lieve. is the largest pit of the kind
ever put mp in the Territory or Ore
gcn. Mr. G says the yield Of coal is
Just as large In proportion as in small
pits. and that much labor is saved by
burning large ones.

COAL AND IRON.

The production Of coal in Great
Britain. United States, France, Ger
many. Australia. Belgium. Russia and
Spain increased from 1914 ,070. 6s3 tons
In 1869 to 294, 400, 900 tons In 1880. g
total Increase Of 100, 397 .3i7 tons. OF
this vast amount Great Britain and the
United States produced in 1863 1885,
COG. 1888 tons. and 210 500. 600 tons In
1880. they getting between them three
fourths Of all the increase. besides en-
joyipg more than two-thirds OF the
whole production. The English pro.
duction OF cal must have nearly
reached itA maximum capacity, l47.-
100000 tons. while in the United
States Is room for 90 indefinite expsn-
sion-ten, twenty. or fifty fold greater
than the yield of today.
The iron production Of 1859. in
Great Britain, the United States. Ger
many. France and Belgium amounted
to 0.096 f95 tons. In 1880 the same
had reached the higher figure Of TO-
3l0.3i9 tons. As in coal the two first
named countries bore off the honcrs;
Great Britain producing 5. 1875 tons
In 1869 and 1921 1888 toas in 1880, the
United States increasing its yield from
l,9l6.641 tons TO 4.295.4l4 tons. No
other country produced as much rs g.
100000 tons.
In both directions we are gaining on
the mother country. Surprising the
two countries to 60 - as they have
done during the period reviewed, they
will be abreast Of each other in fifteen
years. II 10 more than likely, though,
that We will be ahead. We consume
substantially all that we produce,
while Great Britain is an enormous ex>
porter. She will entirely lose her bes.
customer for iron--the United States.
to which she sent last year Cos. l75 tons
against $40 ,352 tons 10 oil other coan-
tries com bined. For her coal the de-
mand will be greater annually. but il is
doubtful. as before intimated. IL its
production 10 capable of much further
incrcase. The production of iron in
the United States Is expc ted to reach
1000. 900 tons In 1881, aud OF coal 75,-
000. 900 tons.
