TIE SALEM COAL REGION.
OregOn's Capital City in the Center Of
Immense Coal Fields-Semi
Anthracite Coal.

Considerable excitemnt has pre-
vailed the past elk months over the
coal ledge found on the Blair Fer
ward farm just six miles east Salem.
When first discovered some fairly
good specimens were brought to
town, but as |; vas surface coal and
badly Stacked was not much thought
of. Since that time various at
tcmpts at prospecting have been
made, and now Mr.. Steadman, Of
Oskaloosa, Iowa, a lifelong coal
operator aud expert is on the spot
probing for tine dimensions of the
deposit. He fluids the ledge to be
from 4 feet s inches to Z feet thick,
and hundreds of acres IN extent. 1t
is not broken slide, but fiat cont
iuuous ledge of Ofsuprrisr semi.anthra-
ri c coal. AT a distance of 80 rods
back froru the opening the prospect
OTIS have drilled down aud fiud the
vein to be ouly 40 feet deep, all of
which goes to show that the entire
body of this vast deposit can be
worked with the greatest ease. Al
II depth of 102 feet is found ledge
of slate, under which it is firmly
believed lies an unlimited quantity
of even better quality coal than that
now being taken out. The speci-
meus that have been burnt thus far
are declared to be first-class smelt-
ing coal. 1t is being burned every
day at forge at the mine, and
leaves no cinders or clinkers, what
ever, all burning up clean. After
these investigations there is nu
longer any doubt in the owners
mind as to the great value of this
coal deposit. 1t is safe to say it will
be only short time when the prop
erty will be worked and become i'm
mensely valuable. This will make
Salem the manufacturing center.

In a Maniac Barber.s Chair.

A barber becoming insane while shaw
ing a man is what every man who ever
had his chin scraped has feared. There.
fore a great sensation was caused at
Kenneth square when William Reese
showed signs Of insanity while shaving
Larkin jackson. Jackson had been lather-
ed and was sitting in the chair, when
Reese made him shiver clear down his
spine by remarking:
jackson, you would make a beauti-
full corpse; | will take you to heaven
with me-"
The BARRIERS eyes grew Wild and his
hand moved uneasily, scratching Jack
sons face. Reese laid the razor down
for a minute and rubbed his hands This
was supposed to be preparatory to max
ing jackson an angel. jackson, thinking
it was time for him to get out, made for
the door, but he was not quick enough
for Reese, who met him at the door; but
after hard struggle he wrestled himself
loose and started down the street, with
Reese in close pursuit. Reese stumbled
and fell He was captured, and will not
do any shaving for some time to come

Deafness Cant be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness Is caused by
an infiamed condition Of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inhsmed you
have a runIbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when IL is entirely
closed, deafness Ia the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored 10 its nor
mai condition, Hearing will be de-
strOyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which Is
nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case Of deafness Caused

for their servants, and if they went to

in the houses. and without any loss Of
wages In many instances supplies fol

But now it is a common practice to
discharge servants and let them shift for
themselves. even if the time of absence
be only few weeks. Owing to that
practice a servant must seek other work
at II time when little work is to be had
or must support herself with the little
savings that she has put aside, and board
with relatives and friends until the close

She had no residence and very little

ployed her may offer inducements for
her to return or employ somebody else,
probably the latter She has not the
kindliest of feelings for the family that
discharged her, and she knows that the
next family that employs her may act
likewise next year; but she is obliged
to work, and she gets the best employ
ment she can under the circumstances.
This practice is undoubtedly one of
the reasons for the objections to work

Eating Gala Roots Cooked.


A new vegetable is about to be intro
duced to the people of the United States
through the department of agriculture.
1t is the root of the sacca lily, which re-
sembles somewhat in appearance the
ordinary Irish tuber, with the addition
of a few whiskers that have nothing to
do with the quality of the article as an
esculent. 1t is more elongated, and
when cut the interior is a trifle more
viscid. But section of 1t is so potato.
like you would not be likely to distinguish
any difference In cooking, it has first
to be boiled in order to destroy certain
acrid properties, after which it may be
fried, roasted, baked, or what not, ac-
cording to taste.
Farmers in Florida have begun to
raise these Gala roots for market The
plants grow readily in swamps, and so
thickly that the yield of single flooded
acre is enormous. They reproduce them
selves by the multiplication of their
bulbs underground, so that the grower
has simply to dig up the offshoots and
leave the parents to propagate anew
For centuries the Egyptians have cult
waited similar crop during the season
of the Nile overflow, and at the present
time Gala lily buds are common vege-
table in Japanese markets. SO prolific
and palatable are they that their propa-
cation in many parts of the United
States where conditions are favorable
may reasonably be looked forward to as
an agricultural industry of the future

over to the court house and just as
he turned to take them to the county
Jail, they eluded his grasp and

SAM CLARKE
Pays Ills Compliments to the Lady
Bird Bug and General Yarney

While.at The Dalles last week l
met some fruit growers who con-
fessed that the San Jose scale had a
footing there, but did not think it
was doing much harm, owing to the
presence of the lady.bugs there in
great numbers, as they deyoured all
insect pests. AS these lady-bugs are
very extensive family and are be-
coming very plentiful in Oregon, we
may hope they will reduce the dam
ger from such pests to minimum.
| was amused to hear the following
story at the expense of Mr.. Varney,
the horticultural commissioner AMI
Inspector of fruit pests for Oregon.
Some one found the scale in Mr..
Varney's nursery and it became
current that il was there. So Mr..
Varney came to the meeting of The
Dalles Pathological society and re-
questei that a committee be ap-
pointed to examine bis nursery; he
would pay S. as their expenses, but
if they found any San Jose scale
there he would make it $40. The
committee was duly appointed and
made the inspection TO find the first
tree they examined fairly covered
With San Jose scale. My informant
was reliable and competent to judge
the facts. While the scale pests
were found by the wholesale, moth
ing had been heard TO date Of the
promised $40. l am interested in
this incident because Mr.. Varney, a
year ago, had me served With Il
peremptory notice to exterminate
the San Jose scale, as he was reliably
informed it was in my orchard.
Sharp eyes and microscope,
however, could not find them Ou
my premises, and am not charita-
bic enough to excuse the motive
that prompted the act. Ii strikes
my humorous vein very forcibly to
find that our state ''inspeciOr of
pests" doesn't know a san Jose
scale when he sees il. IL is to be
hoped the lady-bugs will come 10
the rescue of his reputation of bis
extensive nursery near The Dalles.

THE STARVED HORSE. The large
bay mare which was taken away
from a junk dealer recently has
been kept in Ellis & Whitley's
stables eyer since his arrest. The
stable men there have named her
calamity" and have come to take
quite an interest in her welfare. She
has been carefully fed and her phys
ical condition has wonderfully i'm
proved. Her hide, which was liter
ally dried upon her bones, has be-
come loosened and her legs are
limbering up-they were as stiff as
four wooden posts. Under kind
treatment she Is undergoing grad
ual change. The society's veterina-
rian says she is not diseased and lie
has oiled her hundred cuts and
bruises which are still IA fearful
sight, but they are healing. Calhm-
ity is friendly aud grateful to all
callers and her improvement is
really wonderful. She is far from
being well, and for several days
after she was put in the stall she
was unable to get up. The boys at
the barn deserve great credit for
their. kindness to a poor old brute
that was net worth II bark halter
when she was put in there. Some
eharitably disposed person ought to
'be found who will give her feed,
shelter and a pasture, and in the
spring she would be sound animal,
good for number of years work.
The mare is about twenty years old
and is a kind, intelligent animal.
