EXCELLENT COAL PROSPECTS.
Much Interest Aroused in Deposits
Around Ashland.

The recent work in developing the
various coal prospects found in the VII
cinity of Ashland, Oregon, has met
with 80 much success and has attracted
such widespread attention that it prom
;ses to insure sufficient perseverance in
work along this line to determine the
real extent of the coal deposits which,
beyond doubt, exist in this section.
There is no question about the coal be-
ing found and the quality Of it, but
there are skeptics as to the extent Of
the deposits. The scarcity and high
price of wood for fuel has prompted and
encouraged the coal prospecting to a
large extent, and the opening up Of
coal beds Of ample extent would be
welcome solution of the fuel problem,
which is serious one and promises to
be more serious before another winter
is over. The inability to secure wood
choppers during the past year or two
has greatly curtailed the wood output
and has resulted in soaring prices.
Recently no less than two represent
atives of the Hartman railroad inter-
ests have been in Ashland looking up
the developments of coal prospects in
the immediate vicinity Of Ashland, and
have made a personal Investigation to
report to headquarters, which shows
the general interest that is being felt
in local Developments.

yes" remarked the driver, as his
leaders swept round the turn into a
lightly timbered stretch Of level road
in the Australian "bush." you may not
believe it, but those kangaroos are as
clever as people," Then, In response
to the inquiry of passenger who con-
tributes the story to Cassell's Magazine,
he proceeded to tell why.
"Now there's Moloney," he continued,
who owns the section On the other
side Of the creek. He trained one Of
them to meet the coach every week and
get the letters for him.
1.-The kangaroo's pouch comes Ia real
handy, we see," he added, with the hui
NOR that belongs to the stage-driver the
world over.
Presently, as often happens on a
quiet country road, a fine kangaroo,
disturbed by the approach Of His Maj
esty's Royal Mall, came into view, as
he raised himself from the grass where
he had been feeding, and looked toward
the coach with an innocent, inQuiring
air.
The driver glanced at him and shook
his head.
Nothing for you to-day, old man |"
he called, genlally.
The kangaroo, as II that was all he
had been waiting for, hoped quickly
out of view among the trees, to the
amazement Of the box-seat traveller and
the intense enjoyment of the other oc-
cupants Of the coach.

WRITES OF OREGON.
Sidelights on Beaver State by Pro-
fessor of Cornell.

in his recent book on "How to
Choose Farm, With Discussion of
American Lands" Professor Thomas F.
Hunt, OF Cornell university. devotes
several complimentary paragraphs to
farming conditions of the Pacific North
west and to the resosercs of Oregon in
particular. Professor Hunt accompa-
nies his descriptions with tables Of sta
tistics which throw several interesting
sidelights on the conditions existing in
the Beaver State.
"This region is characterized by its
immense forest resources, its fishing
Industries, and the high production of
wheat by dry farming in the eastern
part of Washington and along the Co.
lumbia river in Oregon" writes Pro-
feesor Hunt OF Oregon, Washington
and Idaho. "One-third of the area is
covered by forests of immense CONNER
cial value, while at least one-fifth more
is covered by trees of less Importance.
In Western Oregon and Washington
are to be found millions of acres Of the
densest forests, with coniferous trees Of
great height, and large diameters, OF
which the Douglas fir and the red cedar
are perhaps the most important. 1t
is not uncommon fol- five acres OF land
TO cut million feet Of lumber.

Rock Oil, Not Coal OIL.

There Is widespread belief that
the oil generally known as coal oil
was discovered within comparatively
short time. As matter of fact, Il
has been known for centuries. There
is q we'll, or spring, on the island Of
Zante that has been flowing for two
thousand years. The Greek historian,
Herodotus, speaks Of this well. II
is said, also, that the people of India
have used the oil from time immemor.
iaL The boys and girls should remem.
ber that coal oil is not the right name
for 1t; 1t is really rock oil, Its scien
tiflc name being petroleum (from the
Greek petra, a rock, and the Latin
oleum, oil). 1t Is called coal oil be.
cause many people believe that II
comes from coal down in the earth
Some Of It does, but most of 1t comes
from rocks that are much older than
those In which coal Is found. The
best authorities say that 1t has been
made by the decay Of seaweeds and
animals The oil as 1t comes from the
earth Is one Of the most disgusting
substances known, so far as appear
ance goes, but It Is of the greatest
possible service to man. Many things
that are in daily use are produced
from It. as we'll as valuable medi.
cines and the most beautiful colors.

EXPERIMENTS WITH HYBRIDs.
Pullman Station Develops New vari-
eties Of Wheat.

1he Washington State college exper-
iment station at Pullman has brought
a line of experiments with Little Club
and White Track wheat to point
where definite statements concerning
results can be given. These hybridiza-
ton experiments were begun in 1899
by Professor E. E. Elliott. One long
headed variety which is now growing
in the eighth generation produces more
straw than any ether hybrid heretofore
grown on the station farm. Because Of
this and that it will withstand cold
nearly as we'll as Jones' Fife. the sta
ton staff believes it will be we'll adapt
ed to the dry section included in the
greater portion OF the Big Bend country.
A length of six inches and 100 grains
to the head Is not unusual in this
variety.
Another hybrid 10 remarkable for the
stiffness of the straw. On the farm
plot of Red Russian and Arcadian were
cut to the ground by squirrels, while
the hybrid variety was left uninjured.
The stem grows too short to be suitable
for dry land, but it is the most stable
variety yet produced and in several in
stances produced 60 bushels per acre.
A long stem hybrid has the peculi-
arity of growing with surprising uni
formity Of height, and the staff say this
wheat should be we'll adapted to thresh-
ing with combined harvester. The
evenness in length, and the fact that
it skaters but little, makas it one Of
the most desirable hybrids brought out
on the college farm.

Wheat and hay constitute about
one-third the value Of all crops. While
general farming is somewhat more de-
veloped than in the Rocky Mountain
states, the grazing OF livestock is still
one Of the principal industries. Ger
tain areas in Oregon, Washington and
California furnish ideal conditions Of
soil and climate for the production OF
hops. These three states produce two
thirds of the product Of the United
States.
'"The Cascade mountains divide this
region, climatically and agriculturally,
into two parts. Between the Cascade
mountains and the Coast range are for
tile, well-watered valleys, already
thickly populated. Upon the western
coast, owing to the Japan current, the
temperature is the most equable in
North America. The climate is moro
like England than that Of any other
part Of the United States.
The soils are mostly Of a volcanic
origin and are unusually fertile and en-
during. The prsiries consist Of an ex-
panse Of rolling hills. The layout Of
the farms and general aspect Of the
improvements are similar to those in
the newer portions Of tho North Cen
tral states. The people are mostly
native-bor Americans from the older
settled states. There is = general air
of hopefulness and prosperity among
them.
"There are still $4,000, 900 acres Of
unappropriated and unreserved public
lands ready for entry in this region.
While some of this Is forest land and
some is arid, this region probably con-
tains the best large body Of public yet
open for settlement in the United
States"
Oregon, Washington and Idaho are
credited with about 80, 900 farms. The
area in farms Is about 25,00o,0 900
acres, the improved area being about
5000. 900 acres for the three states.
The average size of the farms is trife
over ESQ acres, and the average size of
improved farms is nearly 100 acres.
The state OF Oregon alone has about
II 900, 900 acres Of land in farms and
ranches, which is estimated to be worth
about }l3 per acre.

Taking Care Of Goldfish.


Many boys and girls have goldfish
as pets, and would like to know, per
haps, the best way to take care Of them.
They should be kept In broad
mouthed glass vessel-a vessel with
straight sides Is best-which should al.
ways be nearly full Of water. A few
shells and a small quantity Of gravel
should be put into the vessel. Many
persons are in the habit Of dropping
bread crumbs into the water for the fish
to eat, but that Is very bad for them, as
the bread soon sours. Regularly pre-
pared fish food may be had, which
should be given to them every day or
two. 1t is a good plan, too, to keep
a piece Of water-weed In the jar; II
will grow floating on the water, and
the fish like to nibble at It. The water
should be changed at least twice a
week, and 1t should be siphoned out
not poured. The best way to do this
Is to use a piece Of rubber tubing, say,
1S inches long. Put one end Into the
water, and the other end In your
mouth. After sucking the water part.
ly up In the tubing, grasp the latter
tightly with your thumb and finger,
take the end out Of your mouth, and
still holding 1t tightly, drop 1t into
the vessel into which the water Is to
be drained, which should be lower
than the flsh-jar. The water will at
once begin to flow, and will continue
to do 80 as long as the drain end of
the tube Is kept lower than the end
to ha 10
