AS mining progresses i'll the
Willow creek coal field the outlook
grows brighter all the time. The
fact that a great coal field has been
discovered is now settled beyond a
reasonable doubt. A new tunnel
which has just been opened known
as Conser tunnel will soon be
mined. The Conser shows one of
the finest seams yet discovered in
the field. The vein is four and
one half feet thick of pure coal
without any foreign substance
whatever and the quality is very
desirable.

at least. The railroad people will
not give away valuable property
for something that will do them
DO good. Governor Chamberlain
is taking an active part in the port
age road project and says that the
state will proceed with prepara-
tions for early construction. While
the state board will exhaust all
means to carry out the provisions
Of the bill, present conditions are
such that it will only take small
amount Of cold water to chill the
whole enterprise, but the Inland
Empire can wait. We will have
voice some day.

1t now remains only for the peo-
pie of Oregon to do as they ought
to to make the Lewis and Clark
fair a success. United States
Senator Foster of Washington, has
made public the statement that he
will pledge his support to an ap-
preparation of 81, 100000 from the
government. Senator Foster re-
CARDS the exposition as an enter
prise of equal importance to both
states, which will be of great value
10 the entire Northwest and will
aid in the development of the
whole coast. The spirit shown by
Senator Foster has been cultivated

How many of the residents of
Oregon make any systematic effort
to advertise the resources of the
state? How many of the business
men of the state take the trouble
to call attention of the public to
the opportunities awaiting thrift
and industry in the West? How
many letters that are sent out of
Oregon to friends and business ac-
quaintances, contain any allusloD
to the matchless resources of the
country? Every man who writes
letter to outside poiOts should in
close something about the state.
1t should become a practice with
everybody, to say a few words or
inclose few plain facts about the
vicinity in which they live. 1t Is
the only way in which the state
can be settled with a desirable
class of people. 1t is just a mat
ier of business advertising. If
people don't hear of the opportu-
mites of Oregon, they will 60 to
some other state that is seeking
settlers by spreading the news of
their resources.-East OregoDian.
