hours in advance of teams and speedy
horses. State officials anticipate trouble,

find it difficult to describe them when they
go to the land office to make a filing, and
this will give rise to innumerable contests.

Presidents orders, and will come out of the

farmers who suffered by the flames Tues
day show that it was no ordinary prairie

tact with tue fires. Combusti N was
almost spontaneous in the dry and
heated condition of the atmosphere set
in motion by the terrific gale. The con-
dition seemed similar to those existing at
the time of the great Chicago
fire and the fires in the WIS

was almost ready to ignite and burn. In

conclusion regarding their complaints.
It is understood that both engineers
and fireman are dissatisfied with the
extra work forced upon them and this
with other complaints has led to q
threatened revolt. The situation is
said to be OF a serious nature and un-
less some satisfactory arrangement is
agreed upon a general strike will be
ordered, embracing not only the 0. K.
& N. road but its connections. One
of the engineers stated this morning
that the men intended to stand firm
and secure their demand or strike
would be inaugurated that would be
as extensive and complicated as that
of the G. B. & Q. road. The confer
ence at Portland is still in progress
and it is hoped that an understanding
will be reached without the men be-
ing ordered out on strike.

CAPTAIN PAUL BOYTON.
The Famous Swimming Expert Here.

A hearty looking rudy faced man
is Capt. Paul Boyton who came down
on yesterday mornings boat. He is
unequaled for water journeys in the
worlds history, and is at home on
the surface of the stormiest ocean.
He has crossed the English channel,
hoated on the German ocean or
the North sea, gone up and down the
Atlantic coast, the Gulf of Mexico
and in his rubber suit bids defiance
to storm. He has saved innumerable
lives and has bushel of decorations
slowed away sent him by kings and
princes in grateful Acknowledgement
for having rescued their subjects in
various parts of the world from
drowning.
His mission here, is of practical
nature. He wants to get three car
loads of sea lions and seals, some
mink, otter, mountain lions, and
other animal bric-a-brac, for Lincoln
Park Chicago, the New York Cen
tral Park and the Philadelphia Zoo.
He wants anyone who can get hold of a
seal or sea lion to keep him and he
will pay for the animal.
He is going down to the Seaside,
and expects between the mouth of the
Necanicum and Tillamook head to Sc
cure all the seals he needs. He wants
to put them into stout boxes, with
lattice work overhead, and little
water in the boxes and carry them on
the cars, feeding them little fish on
the way.
He has a trainer who trains the
seals and teaches them all manner
of cute tricks. On his visit to the
shores of the North sea last year he
brought back a large number of seals,
and was then commissioned to come
to Astoria and get some seals from
this vicinity.
The last time the writer met Capt.
Boyton. prior to yesterday, was in
July 1874, at Cape May, New Jersey.
Since then he has been on every body
of water of any prominence in Eu-
rope and America and thinks this
northwest country unequaled in point
of grandeur and scenic beauty.
He will go down to the beach on
Tuesday, with q complete outfit and
will if blessed with ordinary luck, be
able to take back with him some spec
linens of the giant phocae.

The Nehalem Coal company held a
meeting in Portland last Tuesday.
The claims are situated IN T. 4 N, r.
4 W., and on secs. 2, 10, IL, Is, %, %,
26, q, 81 and 30, and cover an area
of about 1000 acres. The coal meas
ures consist of six true veins or
seams, with numerous smaller ones.
The dip or pitch of coal is 10 to 40
degrees, course 76 degrees east. The
quality is semi mi-bituminous, and equal
to any mined on the Pacific coast.
The formation is good and solid, with
sandstone roof and bottom. The
coal can be mined for rs cents per
ton and put on cars. And can be
opened either by shaft or tunnel
Plenty of fine timber suitable for
logging. and streams large enough
to float logs are found, and a railway
can be built to the mines either from
Scappoose and connect with the
Northern Pacific or Columbia river
or one can be built from Forest
Grove, a distance of thirty miles
There are, says the World, probably
100000 of tons of saleable coal in
the fields already taken up.
