There is every evidence that this field

The discovery of coal in the Willow
creek basin will mark 40 era in the his
tory of this county. There could be no
greater influence in promoting the rapid
development, progress, and prosperity OF
the country in general than the ope ration
of extensive coal mines in this territory.
Nowhere on the lines OF the O. R. & N.
or Uuion Pacific railroads are there ex-
tensive coal mines, from Portland to the
Middle West. 1t will only require 81
miles of railroad building to connect the
Morrow county coal mines with the O.
R. & N. system. The rapid denudstion
OF the forests Will increase the demand !
for fuel supply which will cause the most
extensive operation OF great coal mines
that will be developed in Morrow county
Tor the existence of coal in large qusnti-

The discovery of coal in the Columbia

his unprecedented reign is one of the most
marvellous in the history Of the Papacy.
Perhaps no Pope ever combined in his

Popes are renowned for some particular
distinguishing trait; Hldebrard for his

Leo XIII. will not he remembered for one

for the wise Use Of those noble gifts of mind
and heart which Justly elevate man above
