COAL PROSPECTS WILL
Be INVESTIGATED
Contract Closed for Drilling to Depth
of a Thousand Feet at
Wheeler Hill

A contract was made last Thursday
between the Wenatchee Coal Mining
and Power company of WanStchee and
g. W Brainard of Seattle, to start q
prospecting drill upon the property of
the company, on what is known as the
Tom Chisholm place three miles south
of town. According to the contract,
work must commence within 80 days
and the ground will be prospected to
a depth of 1000 feet. Mr., Brairard is
now in Seattle for the purpose of Sc
curing machinery and i'll ret7rn at an
early date.
In speaking of the prospects for
coal in the vicinity of y Nenatobee, Mr..
Brainard said
81 am satisfied that thore is plenty
of good coal near here aud the develop
ment work which has been done at
Wheeler hill could inc cate that the
prospectors are on the gnt track. A
six inch vein of superior quality of
bituminous coal has ten uncovered
an1 / am to of the oilion that a
large vein is close at hsnd. The coal
obtained very closely esembles the
Roslyn coal and from tie rock forma-
tion and other indicat 3ns, | believe
that the same vein whie SUPPLIES that
mine passes near We, tchee. [ am
further convinced that rt is is is true
by the fact that a. straight line drawn
from South Band, ON Wiilipa harbor,
to the Hill coal properties at Grow g
Nest. not only passes through Chehalis,
Centralla, Tenino, Bucoda, South
Prairie, Wilkinson, Gle Elnm and Ros-
lyn. at all of which places are large
mines, out it also passes through the
exact district here / have contracted
to drill. am firmly convinced that
there is coal in this vicinity and be-
lieve it will be located long before the
drill is sunk to the contract depth of
1000 feet"
The owners of the mine have long
been sure that there is coal in the
Wheeler hill district but have been
somewhat hampered in doing the nee
essary prospecting on account of lack
of funds. The res ult of Mr.. Brainard g
work is being anixously awaited as
the discovery of coal in large quantit-
les here will mean much to the people
OF WeDatcnee as well az to the owners
of the mine.

DIRE PoYERTEY INDEED.

Much of what is called success is
but the most vulgar kind of prosper
ity; it is the success of the brute
faculties at the expenses of the
divine. To develop few of ones
brain cells, and these the lowest, by
everlasting digging and grinding
for money, to cultivate one huge.
gland which secretes nothing but
dollars. and the exclusive cultiva-
ton of which brushes out of life all
the finer sentiments, all that is
sweet and beautiful and worth
while, makes man as dry and bar
rem as the great Sahara desert. He
who follows this course cannot be
rich, no matter how much money
he may have. A man is rich when
every faculty within him has fol-
lowed his highest ideals, when he
has pushed his horizon to it's
farthermost limit.
A man is poor when he has lost
confidence In his friends, when peo-
pie who are the nearest to him do
not believe in him, when his
character is honeycombed by deceit,
punctured by dishonesty. He is
poor when he makes money at the
expense of his character, when
principle does not stand clear cut,
supreme in his idea. When this is
clouded he is in danger oe the worst
kind of poverty. TO be in the
poorhouse is not necessarily to be
poor. If you have maintained your
integrity, if your character stands
foursquare to the world, if you
have never bent the knee of prin-
ciple to avarice, you are not poor,
you may be compelled to beg for
bread.

THE INSIGNIA OF HOPE.

Nothing ever before has so well
fitted the purpose of it's invention
as the union label. 1t is bright
jewel in the diadem of honest pro-
duction. 1t is the insignia of
''white," clean, fair-made goods.
1t is the invitation to buy and the
safeguard against fraudulent traffic.
1T has knightly carriage in it's bear
ing, and comes with "visor up. -
1t carries with it neither threat nor
reproach, but more entreaty and
invitation. 1T belongs only to the
good, and its absence from legiti-
mate commerce in its line is cause
for suspicious of fraud and piracy
on the high sea Of bargain and sale.
1t is the north star guide of safety
for the direction of the wandering
mechanic and laboring man, and is
beyond the reach of court corrup-
ton or illegal injunction.
Hold fast to it for its good.
1t is current at par, whenever
honesty deals. 1t bring always

INJUNCTION RIGHTS ABUSED.

UGH more bitterly or more success
fully contested than its struggle
against government by injunction.
Wealth and official power have
been united on the other side. But
the battle is drawing to close and
public justice is every day more
and more disposed to sustain the
union claim.
No better illustration can be
given at this time of the truth that
enlightened sentiment is coming to
our side than is furnished by the
following editorial published in the
Chicago Record Herald, entitled,

tions.o

Hon. Z. B. Bailey, who is the first with his an
nouncement for Railroad Commissioner, though that

in the State Senate, where he has on more than
occasion contributed to the gayety of the chamber
One of these times was when Senator Bailey in
troduced two long resolutions one bearing on "un
versal peace" and the other subject equally
foreign to the work of the Florida Senate.
The resolutions were duly read, and proved to
consist mostly of Whereas" the resolution proper
of each containing but few words.
1t was dull hour in the Senate and Charlie
DOugherty, with the purpose of fun-making began
debate opposing the resolution, making an impas-
stoned appeal to kill the "whereases" and then lay
the table the tiny fragment of resolution remain
ing.
Then defender arose in the person of Judge
Hicks, the wit of the Senate, and graceful orator
In eloquent preface to the subject the Judge stated
that existed for all things though the rea
son might not be apparent. During this portion of
the address the face of Senator Bailey uminant
and his delight unconceaed at the words of the
champion of his cherished resolutions
Judge Hicks proceeded in his argument of answer
ing Doughertys contention that the "whereases" be
eliminated and pointing through window to a
church steepe, said of it: ut is there and know
not the for it. Assuredy there must be rea-
son for it or it would not be there.
"Take the tail of pug dog for example. 1t has

has curl, but while person can say what useful
purpose it serves, it was evidently put there for
some reason. Now these 'whereases' in the resOlu-

a reason for existence, though we may not"
A roar of laughter rolled through the chamber,
drowning the Judges speech and causing Senator
Bailey in rage and disgust to retreat from the mrth
