@@'fortune of unknown millions, or
Mr.. SChwab, who has risen TO a position
which pays a salary of 81 l,OOOOO0 year,
would be more able to tell how one can
make a living. But that suppOsition is
not altogether true. The man who knows
the theory Of any practice cannot always
carry out his ideas.
Now, what is the present state OF liv-
ing in this country? | am not a pessi-

fearful. A young man who leaves col

try aud about as good chance to become
rich. He has a little better show OF
amassing a fortune, but the chances are
few. 1t is all the time said that there
is room al the top and so there is. The
whole society has been divided into two
claSses-the great class at the bottom and
the little class at the top. The ordinary
man has no chance at all. 1t is only the
extraordinary man who can get to the
top. He must have little regard for any.
thing save victory.
Wages have fallen during the last thir.
ty years to an alarming degree. Thirty
years ago a stenographer could get ST.

LOSSES BY FIRE.
~ 12, 7G7, 100 in the states of Oregon
and Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-The Burean
of Forestry, after careful examination
bv field agent, estimates that Sep
tember forest fires in Oregon and Wash
inPton caused total loss OF $l2, ,767 100,
of which So, 10000 fell in Oregon. This
includes the value Of timber. farm prop
erty and sawmills and their products
which We're destroyed. Owing to its
nearness to market, however, much OF
the burned timber in Oregon will be
sayed, reducing the total loss as above
set forth. 1t was found that eighty-six
Oregon families were rendered homeless
while 200 others suffered partial losses.
In that state farm property worth
$3l5,OO0 was burned, and sawmills suf-
tered losses aggregating $149, 900. 1t is
estimated that 2,l24,O0O, 900 feet of
standing timber went up in smoke in
Oregon, largely Douglas fir, spruce
cedar and hemlock. The total loss in

all, 10000 acres were burned over, all
of which save $4,000, were we'll tim
bered.
In Washington $4,000 acres were
burned over. The timber was fully as
heavy as the Oregon timber, and OF
better quality. 1t is estimated that
3 5,O26,8O0,0O0 feet Of Douglas spruce
alone was killed, representing a value of
s., ,026, 800. Other timber to the value
Of 1925, 900 was destroyed. The total
loss in Cowltz Clark and Skamania
where the fires wers most dis
astrous, was Sc, 600, 800. and in the other
burned areas, 81 ,256, 800.
A singular train OF circumstances COM
Dined to make the fires so destructive.
Not only was the summer very dry, but
he two preceding summers were wet
n May and June, thus interfering with
he burning of sashings and allowing
IN unusual amount of debris to accumu-
ate. The most direct cause was care
essness. This is shown distinctly by
he fact that practically no damage was
lone in the Cascade forest reserve,
which is prtrolled by forest rangers.

A Big FIND Of COAL
At HeadwaterS of Will
low Creek.
SIX FOOT MEASURE
Strike of the Heppner Railroad
& Coal Company.
FAULT HAS DISAPPEARED
All Doubts as to Existence of Field
Have Been Remoyed--Pros-
poets ImprOving--Firs
Class Coal Found.

Heppner was thrown into a furry O
excitement Monday evening, when G
E. RedfieId, Geo. w. Wells and J. S
Crooks arrived in this city and brought
the good news that miners in tunnel No
>. at the Heppner Railroad and Goa
Company's mine, had made a big strike
on Sunday afternoon, by opening up a
six-foot seam of clean and pure coal.
Ever since, the miners have been ia k
ing out .coal, and Messrs. Redfeld
Wells and Crooks brought down with
them as much as could be hauled in a
light wagon, which is now on exhib-
ton.
Every body wanted to see the coal and
eager crowds assembled to hear the
news, which was carried rapidly oyer
the town.
The measure was opened up at tun.
mel depth OF 240 feet, and appeared a
little nearer the surface than was ex-
pected. The slight faults caused by
slips OF the mountain side, have entirely
disappeared and the true measure, un-
disturbed, is now in sight, ready for the
miners to work upon. Indications now
are that the seam will be seven feet in
thickness at little greater depth.
For some time this seam has been the
most promising of any in the field, but
what the other prospscts will show
when as great depth has been reached
as in No. 5, remains to be seen.
Geo. w. Wells who is in the interest
of the 0. r. & N, is very reticent about
the outlook, but that he was pleased was
beyond concealment. He expressed
himself as being perfectly satisfied with
the accounts as reported, and intimated
that No. 5 was very desirable property.
Tunnel No. 9 is beginning to show up
in a manner that is very encouraging.
AT tunnel depth OF 140 feet one foot of
solid coal has appeared with a growth
every & feet OF about one inch. 1t is |
the opinion of an expert that with 50
feet more of penetration will take the |
tunnel through all breaks. Good re-
suits are expected from No. 8, equal to
any in the field.
Miners in No. are now working in !
bad break which will take three or four
days to get through.
The strike in No now settles almost |
beyond doubt the existence OF coal in
large quantities in the Willow creek
basin. The outcome OF the prospects
has been looked to with great interest
IN Eastern Oregon, and the news that
he coal hiss been found will be hailed
with delight.
For the proving OF this field the Hepp-
ler Railroad and Goa Company has ex
pended a large sum of money, ana
success has been the reward.
Naturally the promoters OF the Ar
,uckle Coal & transportation Co., and
he Matteson Coal Company, all compos-
ID OF Heppner people, feel elated over
he big strike in the Willow creek basin.
n speaking Of the matter, prominent
member of the Arbuckle company said
