COAL PRODUCTION.
United States Now the Greatest Producer
OF This Fuel.

United States Now the Greatest Producer
OF This Fuel.
The scarcity of coal in Europe n
many inquiries about American coal
that this has caused, and the new ex-
port trade to some extent that has
resulted. emphasizes the fact that this
country is o the greatest coal pro-
Queer in the world. The production
for 1899 is estimated by the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal to have been
pa ,5S1 ,S75 tons. The statistiCian of
the Geological Survey estimates that
it was 25S, $50, $50 short tons, which
is an amount far in excess of the pro-
duction of any previous year, and
probably greater than the production
of Great Britain. In 1889 the produc-
ton of bituminous coal in this coun-
try was 95,GS5, 6S3 short tons. Ten
years later it had risen to 19S, PIG, 255
short tons. In 1889 the anthracite
production was iO,714.721 long tons.
Ten years later 1t was 81, S57,496 long
tons, an increase of about 80 per cent,
The value of the production of 1899
Is estimated at $500, 900 900, about $751;
900, 900 more than hat of the pro-
duction of the preceding year. One of
the encouraging features of this in
crease of production and the increase
Of trade that it indicates both at home
and abroad. is that with the exception
Of Pennsylvania anthracite, the coal
deposits of the country are practical
" ineXhauStiblp: that the known de-
posits have scarcely been scratched
on the surface" Pennsylvania is still
the leading state not only as the pro-
Queer OF anthracite. Of which she has
almost a monopoly. but also of blum
nous coal. Illinois is next, West Vir-
ginia is third and Ohio fourth.-ln-

Yesterday the Chinese began she'll

While not dismounting their guns, they
kept the Chinese shifting their posi-
ton and finally made them cease fir
ing. Later the Russians advanced and
drew their fire, discovering a new gun,
making a total of II in this position.
The Chinese are extending their
trenches on their left. Our temporary
weakness at long range is encouraging
them. Their guns, munitions and
shooting are far superior to anything
shown in the japanese war.

giving ii a meaning ever broadening with ths
increasing breadth of knowledge. When the
blood is "bad" or impure 1t Is not alone The
body which suffers through disease. The brain
Is also clouded, the mind and judgement
are affected, and many an evil deed or impure
thought may be directly traced to the impur-
ity of the blood. No one can be we'll balanced

No one can have a wholesome and pure life

from letter from N. J. Kinney. pub
lished In yesterdays oregonian. viii be
Of interest:
For the same reason that we want a
common point to seaboard In Oregon,
we desire a 25-foot channel between
Portland and Astoria, as soon as II can
be procured. The Improvement will be
followed by hrst-class steamers-mod-
crn palatial steamers-being put on and
maintained between Portland and San
Francisco. This Of itself VIII greatly
benefit our farmers by reducing freight
rates to and from San Francisco. And.
with q 40-foot channel at the mouth
OF the Columbia river. we Will have In
the near future. not merely freight
steamers. but modern passenger steam
ers. Of 10000 or 10000 tons. plying be-
tween Astoria and the Orient; and
heavy stream Of passenger travel. and
fast and mixed freight passing through
Portland 10 the Orient. This will tend
to equalize and reduce freights. The
80. 3.0O0-ton ships Of Hills will be great
benefit 10 Eastern Oregon, and deepen
ing and improving the bar and the
Columbia river will be a benefit to the
entire states OF Oregon and Washington.
Deepen the channel TO Lewiston; II

freights. The railroad can afford 70
carry wheat on to Astoria at the pres
ent rates They can even afford TO
carry wheat at half OF the present rates
and make large income on the actual
value Of their road We pay 10 cents
per ton per 100 miles on lumber shipped
East. on sassaon worth $50 per ton
shipped East we pay only 40 cents per
ton per 100 miles. and this over the
mountain roads; but our Pendleton
farmers, on wheat worth only SIS per
ton. pay 3l.5O per ton for 100 miles on

that the railroads might carry this

haul the cars back empty. Common
