If reports are true, by the first
of January next, the Washington
Union Coal Company, Hartman
concern, will be ready to open up
1000 acres of coal land in Lewis
county, Washington, about six
miles from Centralia. This con-
Germ is closely affiliated with the
Oregon & Washington Railroad,
now building from Seattle to Port
land as competitive line to the
Northern Pacific. OF the railroad
j. ?. O'Brien is the executive head
for the Oregon portion and J. d.
Farrell, of Seattle, for that portion
within the boundaries of Washing
ton, and for this reason the open
ing up of the rich coal deposits will
be directly under his jurisdiction.
1t is estimated that the output of
these mines will be 10000 tons
annually. The Hartman system
could use practically all of the
output of the new mines, and it re-
mains to be seen whether or not
the new supply will have any effect
on the local market.

Hon. H. NJ. Cake Talks
on the Situation
Surprised at the Great Resources
OF Morrow COunty--Need OF
TranspOrtatiOn.

Hou. 81. M. Cake, of Portland
who came to Heppner to delive
the memorial address for the Elk
last Sunday, was pleasant calle
at the Gazette office, Monday.
Mr.. Cake visited Heppner will
the Portland business men and thi:
is his second visit here.
When asked as how be was i'm
pressed with Morrow county, Mr..
Cake said:
II am surprised at the resources
OF your county, especially in the
production of wheat, stock, and
wool.
"a county with only 5000 popu-
latiop, producing one half of one
per cent of the entire wheat prod
uct of the United States, speaks
volumes for the future wealth and
prosperity of Morrow county.
''It seems to me that the most
important matter before the people
of this county is an open river.
''Either the railroads cannot or
will not meet the increasing de.
mand of the commerce of the state.
Morrow county should be indie
pendent with an open river and a
communication by electric or other
lines to its banks. 1t seems to me
unfair and unjust to the citizens of
Morrow county that with their tre-
mendous crop they are unable to
move it and realize from the pro-
ceeds.
"Onr representatives in Congress
should feel that the people of this
state will stand no trifing on this
proposition and that they must
force, as far as in their power lies,
as speedy as possible an open river
TO the sea.
"There seems no evidence of
panic in Morrow county to me, and
% express myself freely, there is
40 need of holidays. While I
would yield to the superior wisdom
If those demanding holidays, if I
had been governor of Oregon I
would have been like the man from
Missouri-'They would have to
show me-.
"In my opinion, and from what
know of the situation, going to a
clearing house basis would have
net the emergency. Now we are
n the position of the dog with the
'ear, we can't let CO."

OAKLAND AFTER
A DRY DOCK
SAN FRANCIsCO'S BIG NEIGHBOR
SPRINGS AN ENTIRELY NEW
PROJECT AND STARTS WORK.

OAKLAND, November 25.-The
scheme for the establishment of dry
docks by the government on the Ala
media side of the estuary to be used
in conjunction with, but not to the eX-
clusion Of, the Mare Island navy
yard, is meeting with the favor of the
commercial bodies of the entire coun-
ty.
The project is an entirely new one,
but the wonder is that it has not been
thought of before. The presence OF a
large body of clay on the estuary, near
the United Engineering Works, where
the Southern Pacific tracks cross the
Alameda marsh, and extending at
least 300 feet easterly, has been long
known, but the particular utility for
dry dock purposes has only been re-
Gently thought Of.
The clay is Of the yellowish sort, inn
pervious to water, and is of unknown
depth, but bOrings have been made
which show that it goes down far
enough to provide dock which will
accommodate the deepest-draugh YES
sells.
In most cases where drydocks have
been built, notably the one at Hunters
Point, a great deal Of blasting of stone
has been necessary in order to reach
the required depth. 1t is said that the
Hunters Point dock cost not less thar
So, 900, 900.
The clay formation, however, can b.
dredged out or eXcavated at a Fraction
of the cost, and the bottem it affords
is as impervious to water as stone
Figures compiled by r. c. Sessions 6
Company show that dry dock suit
able for the accommodation of th'
largest warships could be constructed

SKEPTICAL ABOUT
THE MOSQUITOES

EDITOR STAR:-Although in a
medical sense a layman, I feel moved
to express entire skepticism about any
agency of mosquitoes i'm propagating
leprosy.
When a mosquito conveys yellow
fever from one person to another (and
the same with malaria), it does so Jy
acting as a peculiar host for the bacil-
lus, which propagates a new form Of
germ in the body of the mosquito
said new germ being then injected in
to a second person, in whose veins 1t
propagates another bacillus, creating
the disease.
Now Dr. Goodhue, in his published
communication, does not profess to
have observed the secondary germ in
the mosquito. He has only seen the
original bacillus leprae which would
naturally be found in any mosquito
blood drawn from a leper. The same
would be true of the blood found in a
beg-bug. But it is quite improbable
in either case that any new form OF
progency woulu be generated within
the body of the Insect.
1t is also improbable that there is
more than one process of infection or
communication of leprosy. Fifty
years Of varied observation in Ha-
wall seems to have fully established
the fact that the disease is conveyed
from one person to another by the va
rious forms of social intimacy, such
as kissing the exchange of pipes from
one mouth to another, etc. When this
disease so clearly is impaired directly,
the Intervention of insect agency is
! rendered improbable.
Respectfully yours,
S. E. BISHOP.

BIC ROW ON
IN PORTO RICO
GOVERNOR MADE A SPEECH AND
is SUMMONED TO WASHINGTON
TO EXPLAIN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Gov Re
gis H. Post Of Porto Rico is lin hot
water" PRESIDENT Roosevelt expects
him in Washington TO make an eX-
planltion and to show cause, in effect,
why he should not be removed from
office. He will reach New York To-
night.
Gov. Post like the famous British
governor of Jamaica, Sweetenham, has
evidently talked more than was wise.
Last September he made a speech to
the school superintendent of Porto
Rico He talked vigorously. The
speech created such row in the ISL
and that the matter was turned over
to Secretary Garfield of the Interior
Department for investigation. He is
understood to have reported to the
President that the charges against
Gov Post are well founded The Pres
ident promptly called on the governor
to come to Washington to explain.
Notification by cable has been receiv-
ed that the governor will be here in
the course of the next week. No de-
termination will be reached until the
President has heard Gov Posts side
of the story.
Porto Rican newspapers received
here tell the story of the speech OF
Gov. Post. According to them, the
governor attacked the superintendent
of education and the missionaries OF
| the various churches. He declared
that the work of the department OF
education had been worse for the peo-
pie than any other influence except
that of the missionaries. The bitter
attack caused prompt designations by
all the officials of the department Of
education The missionaries, hOwev.
er, got busy, and are attacking the
governor, one minister praying thai
'men of sense and character might be
sent to Porto Rico"
According to the published accounts
| Gov. Post is reported to have said il
his speech: THE school superinten

A correspondent tells the story Of
two house martins nests built against
an attic window OF a farm. to which
the birds came for several successive
wears. Last spring, however, before
they arrived. a sparrow took up her
abode In one Of the nests.
Shortly after the martins returned
as usual. and one day the farm people
noticed that the hole Of the nest
which the sparrow occupied had been
blocked up. Next morning a boy
climbed up to ascertain the meaning
Of this. and not finding any outlet
broke away part Of the nest, to find
the poor little sparrow dead On her
eggs
The house martins had walled her
up for daring to take possession Of
their house.-Country Life.
