The Case of the Michigan.

The steam schooner Michigan went
ashore near the mouth of TanZy creek
last Monday afternoon. She is partly
owned by j. B. Montgomery who
doesn't, SO he says, employ pilots on
his ships. The Michigan had been
waiting a chance to cross out; she
could have crossed out readily enough
had her captain been authorized TO
employ a pilot, but he wasn't, and,
like a prudent man, didn't stir from
the dock. But shortly after lie made
a start, his vessel went ashore. He i'm
mediately set his flag for a pilot. The
pilot schooner GOU Moody was tack
ing toward the vicinity, and promptly
put a pilot on board, pilot Matthews.
An anchor was got out with go faith
oms cham, and at 4 o'clock yesterday
morning the vessel was got off. The
extent of the damage is as yet not
known. 1t is believed that it will not
be serious. The vessel is now docked
at Gray's wharf.
1t appears that no blame can be at
tached to Capt. Kilman, who did all
that could be reasonably expected OF
him.

BEET SUGAR.

We have received from Hon. Binger
Hermann the following statistics rel
ative to the sugar industry on this
coast, which we feel assured will be
read with interest by all. Mr.. Her
mann says:
"Mr. @. Spreckels, who is here in
Washington, preparatory to opening
his immense sugar refinery in Phila-
delphia, gives me, in person, the
within record of the transactions OF
his beet sugar factory at Wat.
sonville, California. You will see
from this that the last years yield oi
sugar was 1,640 tons. The previous
years yield, L think, was 754 tons
and the one still previous was 500 tons
thus showing how this industry il
California is on the increase. On oul
farms on the bottom lands of Douglas
Coos and Jackson counties, and alone
the Willamette counties and on the
alluvial lands of the lower Columbia
the sugar beet would thrive with ex
cellent results. Mr.. Spreckels tells
me that in California no crop is sc
profitable as the sugar beet crop.

A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.

SOMETIME ago a few enterprising
citizens organized the Clatsop Road
and Construction company, and at an
expense of about 5000 have built a
very substantial piece of road along
the beach toward Smiths Point. Un-
fortunately it begins nowhere and
ends nowhere, which mars its utility.
To obviate this serious impediment
to its usefulness, the city council is
asked to take steps, to buy from ex-
Mayor Trullinger, sufficient of strip
to admit of the extension of Con-
comfy street westward.
This needs no urging, no argument.
1t should be done forthwith. The
fact that when the owner of the prop.
erty made very fair and advanta.
geous proposition one year ago, il
was rejected by the council, ought tc
serve as a little experience in the
matter. 1t is not likely that they
could get the piece of ground as CHEAP
now as then, but the property should
be bought and the street extended al
once.
Clatsop county needs roads about as
badly as anything else. Even in the
vicinity of the city it is almost i'm
possible to get much good out of the
ownership of horse and buggy. L
was in recognition of this fact thai
the Clatsop Road and Construction
company was organized, and the leas
the council can do is to second thu
motion and aid in this important mat
ter.

operate street cars from ferry landing

construction of the railway will be
commenced at once, and speedily
completed to Vancouver heights, a
beautiful addition which is being
laid out by that company. The fran

will prove a great convenience to

to all parties interested is clearly
shown by the above statement. First

the handsome little profit of $4,000,

Mrs, Lindley Dead.

The Saddest event that has occurred
in this city for long time, was the sud-
den and unexpected death, on Sunday
afternoon, March oath, of Mrs. Emma
E. Lindley, wife of our townsman, T.
L. Lindley, She had been complaining
slightly, for week, but did not consid-
er herself sick. Her three children
were taken with measles, last week,
and she was able, up to Saturday night,
late. to give them devoted mothers
care. Then she was suddenly prostra-
ted, and continued to grow worse until
death relieved her sufferings. Her con-
dition was not realized until noon, when
DR.. Gillette called in DR.. Gould for con-
sultation. The physicians say the cause
of her death was a malignant type of
measles.
Mrs. Lindley was born at Lawrence,
Kansas, twenty-siX years ago. She was
daughter of Capt. and Mrs. n. B.
Blanton, OF HaZelton township. She
was married to T. L. Lindley ten years
ago, in this county, and of this union
were born five children, three yet sur
viving, the youngest being but babe.
Mrs. Lin dley was sister of Mrs. d. T.
Flynn and Mrs. Frank Streeter, of
kiowa.
Mrs. Lindley was most lovable wo-
man, one who claimed everybody as a
friend who was eyer found with words
of sympathy for the distressed, and
whose hands never tired in doing good
for all around her. AS wife she was
thoughtful, considerate and frugal; as
a mother, she was a subject for poets
song; as friend and neighbor she was
warm-hearted and altogether unselfish.
Her genial presence at home, in the
neighborhood circle, in the halls of
pleasure, or in the house of mourning
or trouble, was as soft ray of sunshine
from May-day sun, pleasant to expe-
rience, and regretted when it departs.
The funeral services were conducted
Monday afternoon, at the Presbyterian
church, by the pastor, Rev. North, as
sisted by Rev. Cain, of the Baptist
church, and Rev. Sanderson, of the NJ.
E. church. The remains were inferred
at Highland cemetery.

Hunting for Coal.

On Monday, the 18th, j. w. McNeal.
J. p. Hall, H. S. Lands and L. L..
Lindley left town on prospecting tour
to investigate the reports of coal finds
south of Sun City, and when they re-
turned Friday, the INDEX interviewed
the party and learned that they found
formation differing in a measure from
anything they had seen before, and to-
tally different from any other formation
in this county.
Northwest of Deerhead there is an
out-cropping of shale-tike stratum
about Is feet thick, with eight inches of
shell formation under it. Eastward of
this point, it dips under everything rocks
and sands and does not reappear. West
ward it rises, and in the Black Hills re-
appears with about ten feet of hard
gray sandstone under 1t, and beneath
this is found six feet of brittle earth
like material, with vegetable remains
distributed throughout the mass, with
numerous veins of Ignite of superior
quality. Both the shale formation and
the formation with traces of vegetable
origin found deeper are quite black in
color. This entire formation dips to
the southeast, and has northwest and
southeast direction. 1t is about five
miles wide and extends northwesterly
from its first outcrop about IL miles, Ii
contains minute veins of gypsum with
crystal of gypsum disseminated through
the black formations, and none in mass.
though surrounded by the heavy gyp-
sum of the western part of the county.
Several shafts and drift were found
and explored with no encouragement to
the Drospectors, They think the Pep
perd shaft, which they visited, barren
of coal signs, and have come to the con-
clusion that if coal exists it is between
Sun City and Deerhead. and not so far
west as the Mule creek slope. Wheth-
er it exists at all, is for the future to
determine. All biologists who have
examined the country pronounce against
the probability of finding coal.
To sum up, they have not only found
no coal, but nothing that would lead to
belief that there was coal.
The gentlemen who made the inves-
tigation hoped to report more favorable
news, but they could not and keep in
side the bounds of truth. Mr.. Lands
IS practical coal miner, having super
intended a mine in Pennsylvania for
several years. Mr.. Hall had experience
in Oregon and Nevada several years and

The CITY Election.

So far as we know, there has not been
even caucus held yet to fix Up ticket
to be voted for at the city election next
Monday. This is strange, too, for here
tofOre states were numerous week be-

the same time, will not hesitate to

majority when the fate of any great en-
