A vein of coal eight feet across has
just been uncovered on the Taenum,
the mining districrrecently discovered
20 miles west OF EtleDsburg. The coal
was found in the contact. between the
mineral and sandstone, aud tests have
shown it to be of excellent quality for
blacksmith's use. A number OF
samples have been brought down, and
all show we'll. All the ground has
been located by Ellensburg men, and

Charles Connolly returned from
upper Eight-mile today, he states that
the farmers are scared at the prese MT
outlook as there are no tbreshers in
that section and it will be impossible
to induce owners of machines to pull
in before they are through in the Sec
tion further south as there are much
more profit threshing where the grain
turns out between 30 and forty five
bushels to the acre than where il
averages from six to twenty bushels.
If the rain keeps up they will certain
ly come out heavy loosers on this
years crop, and the prospects for ii
stopping is none to f1attering.

Another accident happened on the
o. R. & N. yesterday afternoon. A
man by the name of William Wilson
was attempting to steal ride on an
east bound special when at a point
near the Deschutes he lost his hold
and fell, and that he was not cut to
pieces is almost miracle. Forum
ately for him, however. he lit outside
the rails and the train passed over one
of his feet severely mashing his small
toe and inflicting flesh wounds on the
instep, while his other leg was severely
sprained at the ankle. He was taken
TO this city where his injuries were at
tended to by DR.. Logan. His mother
Mrs. C. Hurd, of Portland, will be
notified of the accident.
A shameful case of housebreaking
was reported to Sheriff Kelly today.

who works at Taffe's cannery at Cello
stored all her worldly goods consisting
of blankets, shawls, several baskets
sack full of buckskin and other
articles,i in George Cozel's house on the
hill near Cello. On Saturday night
some unprincipled wretch broke into
the house and stole everything she had
leaving her destitute. Mr.. Taft wrote
70 Sheriff Kelly concerning the mat
Ter and is positive he has the right
nan in view. An officer will be sent
lp today to enquire into the case and
The culprit will probably be arrestel.
Il he is, he should be punished to the
un extent of the law.
