THE MOKyrNG OREGONIAN, BATUKDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1902. COST TO FARMERS They Will Pay 28.4 Per Cent of Fair Appropriation. THEIR TOTAL SHARE IS $142,000 Agricultural Interests of State Will Be Asked to Contribute Less Than. One-Tenth of One Per Cent of Their Capital. Oregon fanners -will pay shout 28.4 per cent of tho Lewis and -Clark ap propriation. The Exposition will, therefore, cost them $142,000, or 571.000' la each of tho years 1004 and 1005. In Oregon are, approximately, B8.490 peoplo engaged la agriculture, as cal culated oa the basis of 1000 census statistics. The per capita tax for farmers will, therefore, he ?2 -43. or $1 21 per year, or about one-third of 1 cent per day. The true valuation of farm property la Oregon In 1900 "was $172,761,287. In paying $142,000 for the Fair, farmers -will contribute less than one-tenth of 1 per cent of -their capital. I The above figures aro compiled fron United States census statistics of 1900, They prove that farmers of Oregon -will pay a little more than one-fourth of the appropriation. The share of the average farmer -will therefore be less than $2 50, Many Portland worklngmen have given from $2 50 to $20 to the fair already. Many firms in Portland have given one-tenth of their capital. Multnomah County -will give 156,150 in taxes, besides the $350,000 t has voluntarily subscribed.

Stuart Robson, who is to be seen in ne t-omeay of Errors ' at the Marquar. next Wednesday, November 25, and Thursday (Thanksgiving) matinee, pro nounces his name like "rob" in robin, and not "Robe-son," as so many persons persist in calling him. There Is a popu lar misconception as to this pronunciation and the veteran comedian, now 66 years of age. laughingly stated that, in spite of his forty odd years on the stage, he yet has to find a person who, offhand, gives the name the correct sound. Thanksgiving night in this city Mr. Robson will revive his other old-time suc cess. "The Henrietta," appearing as Bertie, the Lamb," the part he created with great success fifteen years ago at the old Union Square Theatre in New York. The advance sale opens next Mon day morning. "JOos River" at Cordray's. The most exciting episode in "Lost River" is a wild race for life in a heavy thunderstorm, with the hero, heroine and villain all mounted upon bicycles Just as the latter- has gained sufficiently upon the hero to be In position to stab him in thgback, his uplifted hand falls help lessly by his side with the wrist shat tered by a bullet from tho revolver of the plucky little heroine. An exceptionally clever company, sensa tional situations, elaborate mechanical effects and scenery and a strong comedy Interest are said to be the distinguishing features of "Lost River," which comes to Cordray's Theatre for one entire week, beginning Sunday matinee, Nov. 23. Thanksgiving day matinee will bs a spe cial feature of theweek. j A Banner Week: at Baker's. Tho loner Hnp of npnnli -whlrli 4o oaart at the box office at the Baker Theater every, day is conclusive evidence that the three-act comedy by Henry Guy Carlton, In which Mr. Goodwin" made his first great success, "A Gold Mine," will do tho biggest business of any play yet pro duced by the Neill Stock Company. "A Gold Mine" isya comedy of exceptional merit, and its praises have been sung by every dramatic critic throughout the country. A most notable feature of next week's production, and one which has caused much gratification to the patrons of the Baker is the fact that on Thursday, No vember 27, a special Thanksgiving mati nee will be given. "A Gold Mine" is a play peculiarly appropriate for presenta tion during Thanksgiving week, possess Ing, as it does, a sentiment which, while CLASH OVER GAMBLING DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY CHARGES CHIEF OF POLICE.V Declares That His Department Is Not Interested. In Enforcing; City Ordinances. The acquittal of the five defendants charged with violating the ordinance by playing at kenojias started a lively con troversy between the Police Department and the members of the Municipal Court. So disgusted were Judge Hogue and At torney J. J. Fitzgerald at the decision on this case, in which they say the evi dence was so plain as to make tho guilt of the defendants unquestionable, that they threatened to give up trying to con vict gamblers, and to turn the cases over to the State authorities. " They blame thV trouble to the Police Department. "Tho Chief of Police," they say. "can stop gambling if he wants to, but for some reason he does not want to." To the Chief of Police is left tho Selection of EAST RIVER BRIDGE DAMAGED $50,000 BY FIRE SCEXB AT THE RUINS. Damago to the extent of $50,O0O"and a further delay of two months seem to be the proper estimate for the Are In the west" tower of the East River bridge. De tectives representing Fire Marshal Preel made an Investigation Into' the Are, and learned that It was caused by a workman who threw a lighted match on soma Inflammable material. Instead of stamping the Are out. It Is said, the man ran away. Another "workman "discovered tfie are" and tried to put It out, but It had then obtained too much headway. Smoking has never been allowed on the bridge After the Are 200 feet of the double footbridge hung dangling well out into the river. , Each suspender had Its beam at the end.. The appearance of the myriad wires and the broken-up wood of the footbridge hanging to them was much like that of wrecked kites on telegraph wires. There was also something of the effect in the aerial wreckage of the guy ropes and flying trapezes hung around In profusion at the top of a circus tent. exceedingly humorous Is at. the same time more deserving of serious thought. FREE BOOKS FOR PUPILS Labor Organizations of State Start a Kerr Movement. The educational Interests of the chil-. dren of worklngmen are to be looked after by the members of oorganlzed labor, as well as their own interests. To this end, an effort will be made to secure at the next session of the Legislature the pass age of a bill providing that school books be furnished free to the children who are attending school. "There are many children," the labor leaders say, "who are kept out of school because their parents are not able to buy them books." r'" A resolution covering this matter has been sent out to the various unions, and is receiving the sanction of organized labor generally. The matter will proba bly be taken up by the Legislative com mittee of the Oregon State Federation of Labor. Tho following communication was re ceived last nisht from the Salem Council: "Salem, Or., Nov. 1L Wo, the Cen tral Labor Union of Salem, Or., hereby indorse the following resolutions, and hope that every labor organization in the State of Oregon will do likewise: "Whereas, The present system of pro Siding school books is exceedingly bur densome to a great many families, and In numerous instances the inability to buy books results in tho absence of tho children from Echool; and "Whereas, Tho State of Oregon has an immense amount of money belonging to the school fund lying idle In tho treasury; therefore be It "Resolved. That the Interests of uni versal education, and. accordingly, the in terests of the state as a commonwealth, would be materially advanced, and the ends of substantial justice would be served by the state making provisions to furnish free school text-books to children of school age attending public schools. "Resolved, That we urge upon the Leg islative committee representing the forces of organized labor the preparation of a bill embodying the foregoing provisions and its presentation to the coming Leg islative session for enactment, "CHAS.

Inquire city ticket office, Third and Washington. men to appear as jurora, and the charge was mado yesterday that the Chief brings men who are in favor of an open town, so that they will not convict the gani blers. Captain Moore, who is acting for the Chief in his absence, denies the state ment, and says that the attorneys can reject the jurors as long as an objection can be raised against them, and that there Is no excuse for accepting a juror who Is not fair. "Tho Chief of Police can stop gambling if he wants to," declared Attorney Fitz gerald, "but he 'does not want to. He is not sincere In the matter." "It is necessary for them to be caught in the act or to have some one testify against them," said a bystander. "The doors aro all carefully guarded, and it is very hard for an officer to get Into a gambling house before everything Is stopped, and the players then say they are only there for pastime." "No," said Mr. Fitzgerald, "they do not have to catch them in the act. The fact that they have gambling devices in their possession is all the evidence that i3 needed. It Is supposed that they -are there for the purpose of gambling, and the police have the right to seize them and destroy them." Attorney Fitzgerald then notified Cap tain Moore that no more raids of gam bling dens should be conducted under the name of the City of Portland, but that all defendants arrested for violating " the laws against gambling should be proso cuted by the State. To this Captain Moore only smiled and said: "Well, It doesn't make any difference to me. We will continue to arrest every man that we find violating the ordin ance, and there will be some one to prose cute our cases. I don't care who prose cutes them. Our duty is done when' we have placed them under arrest and where the courts can sit upon the case." To the charge that the Chief of Police was not sincere In his crusade against gamblers Captain Moore replied sharply: "There I disagree with you," said he! "The Chief is sincere in the enforcement -of the ordinances." "You can't make me believe that jury after jury favoring an open town is brought into the court by a mere chance " retorted the Attorney. ' "The Chief takes the telephone book, looks over the names and selects men that he knows to be taxpayers," he re plied. "Many of tho men that he sends for he has never seen- He depends upon the people upstairs to question them and find out whether or not they are in a po sition to try the case fairly." And so the argument continued for some time, finally ending in the foregoing declaration of At torney Fitzgerald. When seen last night regarding the matter. Captain Moore said that he con sidered the charge an unfair one. "To question the fairness' of the decision of the jurors," said he, "Is to charge some of our best citizens with having perjured themselves. Each and every one Is asked under oath if there is anything by reason of which he cannot try the case fairly. After he has sworn that he Is fair on the question, I would hate to be the one to question his word." Educating the Children. Chicago Inter Ocean. European finders of fault with Ameri can institutions are citing the illiteracy still prevailing In certain . parts of the United States as a proof of the general inefficiency of our public school system. These arguments are made, of course.' as excuses for the deficiencies of pri mary education in the greater part of Europe and are an effort to reconcile the Common people there to present, condi tions by showing that .American condi tions are little if any better. These Euro pean arguments are made, however, on what is virtually a basis of suppression of truth. They take the statistics of Illiteracy of pur whole population and suppress the fact that the high percent ages to which they triumphantly point are chiefly due to the presence in our Southern States of a mass of negro Il literacy inherited from fprmer generations and to the largo numbers of recent im migrants in our Northern States who are illiterate because the countries from which they came failed in their duties to them as children. r FOR OREGON'S MINES. J. H. Flsk Advises a More Liberal Mining Policy. PORTLAND. Nov. 18. (To the Editor.) From numerous letters I have received from Eastern people Inquiring after ce ment material, I judge it would be a good thing for some otfe to hunt up this material. The alumina clay, which Is one of the requisite materials for that pur pose, seems to be abundant near the Clackamas and Nehalem Rivers. I am Informed that a EOO-barrel plant would be put up here If plenty of the ma terial could be found accessible. But this Is only one of the commercial products of our state which need develop ment. My purpose in this letter is to speak more particularly of our mining In dustries in general. Very few, even of the old residents of Oregon, can compre hend the importance of our mining Inter ests. Take, for instance, the mining d!s trict about Baker City and the leading mines there; the majority of our people have not the remotest Idea of Its magni tude. It means more to the State of Ore gon than half of the whole City of Port land with all her boasted wealth. I know that nine out of ten will consider this statement extravagant, wild and vision ary, but nevertheless it is, true, and this Is saying nothing of any other mining camp of the state. Other states encourage mining enter prises by building roads and cutting trails Into the mountains to develop their re sources, but what has Oregon done along this line? Almost nothing. I have often called the attention of miners and pros pectors to those portions of our state of which but little Is known excepting, per haps, to a few straggling prospectors In early times, who had but little scientific knowledge of the country over which they traveled, beyond the quartz" veins and their outcrop. I allude to that portion of our state which was suppceed to be cov ered with basalt lava along the central part of the Cascade Mountains; but the several visits I have made into that sec tion convince me that such Is not the case, but that we have a very great and valu able mining country of which but little Is knqwn. As we ascend the western slopes of theiie mountains basalt lava is met with which covers a considerable por tion of the country, but as we continue east the "rocks begin to change. As we leave the basalt rocks we first encounter the sandstone, the argolite, then the an derslte porphyry which is the true mineral-hearing rock of the country; as we proceed further east the same rock again appears in reverse order. This is evidence to me that this region is not wholly cov ered with basalt, but rather two eruptions of basalt an eastern and a western, oc curring at the same time or at different periods, or perhaps the western much later, as the tufa is much lighter in the western slope than on the eastern. There seems to be quite a ecope of country be tween these two eruptions which are pierced by basalt rocks which have cut the older rocks in strike or dip or cut across them, appearing in the midst of stratified rocks like islands In the midst of the sea. The plutonic rocks In many places are folded and are the phonolytes or clink stone of the country extending along this mountain range from Mount Jefferson to-: Gold Hill, in Jackson County, and-a re gion where the future great mining in dustry of Oregon will be conducted. The present development in Clackamas, San-4 tiam. Blue River and Bohemia all indi cate it. and today we are not on the' threshold of future discoveries and de velopments of this part of the state. All this section is beautifully Illustrated by Professor Condon in his book, lately pub lished, on the "Two Islands" (a volume which should be read by every boy in Oregon, for it covers a great part of the geological history of the state); but whether he holds the views of James Geikle, of the procession of the equi noxes and cause of cosmical changes of climate In his "Great Ice Age," for which geologists have heretofore, failed to fur nish an adequate theory, or not, I am not advised. But if true, and it seems to me very reasonable and most prob able. I cannot see why great bodies of ancient coal should not be found buried beneath those lava flows. The' Union Pacific Railroad Company, in boring for water in Wyoming, passes through seven strata of coal from six to. 10 feet in thickness, at a depth of 1320 feet. In the Yellowstone Park there is a ver tical bluff showing 2D distinct forests, one above the other, the wood being partly fossilized and carbonized. If it took 26,000 years of time for each of these for ests to get Its growth, to live and die in the Yellowstone, why should it not be the same in Oregon? The same condition as to climate must have existed here "as there. But the great hinderance to pros pecting in this country Is the soil and immense timber, which grows thrifty upon the tufa soil, and which covers the whole country; and the small ravines which have cut the soil in places are only where the country rock Is exposed and are no great uplifts and folding of the primitive crust as in the Yellow stone, but what uplifts we have are of the lava flows. A topographical map of this section would be of Immense value to the State of Oregon. The state should Inaugurate this work at an early day. A small an nual expenditure would in a few years accomplish it and Its value to our state is beyond computation. Standard sheets could be made on a scale of one Inch to two milcis with contour lines 100, 50 or 25 feet apart as determined by the rugged ness of the region surveyed. This would show the relief, the slopes and heights of the hills and mountains and grade of streams and configuration of the valleys, roads, trails and cabins and the township corners and linos. These sheets could be made the size of a common newspaper which would include an area of about 100 miles on standard sheets of this char acter. The mining man can locate his property upon the map with reference to Its location, its elevation. Its distance from mountain peaks, waterfalls, streams and towns; he can determine the length of trails or roads together with the nec essary grade, the location of mills or smelter; and tho feasibility of construc tion of roads; it would also be of great benefit to the present resident of Oregon as well as the newcomer whose intention Is to settle vln the state. At the present time there Is scarcely a trail which a horse or mule could pack a. load over in any part of the section outside of the present mining camps that are being worked. "Not cne in a hundred of the present residents of Oregon has the least idea of the importance of the Cascade Mountain region with its immense timber and numerous waterfalls which are run ning to waste, but If utilized, would run all the electric cars and all the machinery of the state, besides heating and lighting every house in Oregon. The mining and prospecting of this part of Oregon of which little ii known has only been run over by the early prospec tor some 30 or 40 years ago in search of the precious metal, and his old cabins are frequently met with, together with some excavation here and there in the ravines, which shows that considerable gold must have been taken out, but the cabins and sluice boxes have, been abandoned for the lack of water, which was only snow water, or which was small pay In those days. But gold Is found in small quanti ties In nearly all. the ravines and hillsides, doubtless coming front, the porphyry dikes The Distinctive Value of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and truly as a laxative, without in any way disturbing tbe natural functions. The requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid, or the robust man. Syrup of Figs is well known to be a. combination of the laxative principles of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system, when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package. flip San ' Fra.ncisco, Cat. rf!fll glggl Louisville.

One great drawback to thi3 section of the country Is the number of claims held by the farmers and ranchers, who do their annual representation year by year on undeveloped claims, but hold them so high that no miner' of sufficient capital could be found to touch them. They want cash down for allowing some one the privilege of taking their claims and making mines of them. They decry pro moters as middlemen, who want to make all the money out of it, when, in reality mining camps come much faster with pro moters than without them. The promoter has his place In the mining industry, and serves a useful purpose In getting the miner his money. It Is a hard job to sell a mine. The promoter has to hunt up the 'ine, which may be a mere prospect hole, fud out the facta about it, hunt up the jti-jte, make maps, get up his report, and 't5h find the buyer and present the mat tec to him. All this the miner does not ;kripw how, to do. The promoter often 'maltes a camp boom which otherwise may He idle for years, and through his exertions many new developments may be made. The writer some years ago brought over $300,000 into Eastern Oregpn and over $500,000 into Northern Idaho to develop mines, and a mine in the latter state has paid $300 per day for eight months in the year for the last eight years. In another mine adjoining I ex pended many thousands of dollars run ning tunnels on good surface prospects; whe nthe lode was tapped It was not worth 50 cents per ton, and a total failure was the result. But one good mine will stand a dozen failures. Few people have any Idea what a good mine means; it means building of roads to the mine, a saw mill as the first requisite, tho build ing of 20 or 30 houses, the employment of 100 or more men, with their families. It means a great mill, with immense ma chinery, a mall route and postoffice, ho te.l boarding-houses, bunkhouses, shops and a school, and the storekeeper reaps no small harvest, as he handles all the cash and checka Thus, many a time a howling wilderness has been converted into a hive of human Industry and thrift. It means the expenditure of -nearly $1,000, 000 before a wheel is turned. The man who attempts a thing of this kind will find plenty of envious stigmatlzers who belittle his efforts, deride him as a pro moter, a sharper and a swindler, and who are always ready to eay, "You look out for him; he is trying toi swindle you." There Is plenty of Idle capital looking for this kind of an Investment, but it is ridiculous for anv one to suDDOse that any capitalist is going to pay cash to the miner for the privilege of spending money on his claim to see whether he has any thing worth buying. The promoter brings the miner and the capitalist together and tries to fix a price to be paid the miner for his claim if It proves to be of any value upon development. The great need of Oregon today is the proper development and encouragement of her mining resources. It should be fos tered by our State Legislature and by all associations, by railroads and other cor porate bodies. It brings mions into our state for investment that otherwise would never come. It will bring a mining school to our state that otherwise will not come. It affords employment for thousands of our people who otherwise would remain Idle. It extracts millions of dollars from the bowels of the earth and puts it in circulation. It brings plenty to thousands of homes; It may be in the log cabin or the slab house in the fastnesses of the mountains, or in the tangled life of field or farm hut wherever It goes It Is a bee In the hive of human progress.
