It should also help the gen eral arbitration treaties which are now up before the United States Senate' for ratification. With the three foremost powers, such as the United States.

Stirred to action by an editorial In the Oregon Emerald, the official college paper. C X. McArthur. chief factor In the movement for the graduate coach sys tem, yesterday came out with well-de- I f j fined enroll i Ion to the election of Hugo I - f Beadek or any other "professional coach. "These young fellow now at Engena don't know Besdek." declared 3i c Ar thur. -We who were Intimately as sociated with him during his time at Oregon have had enough of him. II was a great player while at Chicago, hut was an awful "rough neck.' to use the vernacular. Stagg picked him up out of the Mockyards district and he didn't know how to treat his men. He had a physical combat with on of the men during an Intermission tn the Oregon-Washington gam hi last year here." According to the Portland man. John Latourette. Dl.-k Smith. It. Seth Ker ron. Lout Pink ham. K. C Moullen. Dud ley Clarke. Porter Frlszell. Mike Walk er. Oordon Moore and others lined up behind the graduate movement at a meeting at the Imperial hotel Imme diately after the Washington game. Graaaate System Beet. "It waa pointed out at that time." added McArthur. "that the graduate system haa worked successfully at Berkeley and Stanford, particularly at the latter Institution In the case of Jim Lanagan. and also at the University ef Idaho, where John Mlddleton acted a head roach for three years. Middle Ion. It will be remembered. I the man who first showed the Northwest a prac tical demonstration of the possibilities of the open game. It wa pointed out st our meeting that the beat and most successful coach In Oregon's athletic history was Dick Smith, a former Ore gon star, who played at Columbia after wards. Smith coached Oregon In 1904 and hla team won the Northwest championship. Those who attended our meeting were of the opinion that Eastern play er who have distinguished themselves on tlie gridiron are not necessarily good roaches: that a coach need not have been a star player, but rather a man who understands human nature and can adapt himself to conditions that confront him. The names of several Oregon graduatea were discussed and some of them will be available as coaches for next season, but I am not at liberty to mention any names. A committee was appointed to recommend to the athletic council of the university a plan of graduate coaching. This com mittee will make It recommendation In a few days. All we ask Is that the athletic council at Eugen give our recommendations respectful and care ful consideration. Beadek Ospoaltha at rang. "Speaking for myself. I will say that I am unalterably opposed to the selec tion of Huso Bexdek as coach for the Dregon team of next season. Wa had one experience with Bezdek and that ought to be enough. All the old fellows remember the troubles of that year and I would advise those Eugene students who are now singing Besdek's praise to consult Captain 'Bill' Chandler or soma other man of the 190 team before starting any serious agitation in favor of the Chicago roan. "It Is true that Besdek's team won a questionable title to the Northwest championship, but most of the victories of that year were due to Moullen' won derful ability as a placvklcker. Ore gon's title to the championship was dis puted that year because of a scoreless game with O. A. C and also because of Pullman' undisputed championship of Washington. Idaho and Montana. "Oregon has not had a real cham pionship team since 1904. the year when Smith waa coach. There are many who would Ilk to see Smith in charge again, and a he Uvea In Eugene, It Is possible that he will consent to take a nand. at least In an advisory capacity. If th graduate system la adopted. Smith is the best and most efficient coach that the Northwest has ever seen. regard nim as a better coach than Iobie. with all due respect to tie Washington man.

P. Chamberlain, lately of Spokane and Se attle, now of Portland and prominently Identified with tha Harrlman system. who haa returned from the British Co lumbla gold and 'copper town. "There are opportunities to develop many more good mine In that district, but Spo kane, which was a pioneer In develop. ment. pay no attention to them. Cost Grows Lower. 'Th story of Rossland Is a story of steady reduction In cost of mining, freight and smelting, with the result that lower grade ore Is continually becoming profitable to mine. When hlpment began. In 189.. the ore had a be hauled 17 miles over a bad road to Northport and thence shipped to smelters at Tacoma. Helena and Butte. Under those conditions only 135 ore could be mined at a profit. The Improvement of the road slightly reduced the minimum value of or which would pay for shipment. Then cam the construction of a rail road to Trail and of a smelter there by I. Augustus Hetnse. When he con tracted with the La Rol Company for 75.000 ton of ore at 111 for freight and treatment, that was considered a great top In advance. The construction of the Red Mountain Railroad to North port and the construction of a smelter there, again reduced the cost of freight and treatment to $7. Coat Now &25 to . "Now the prce haa been reduced to J3.T5 to 14 at the Trail smelter by the Candadlan Pacific, which controls It. and the minimum value of pay ore has been again cut down. "The Canadiana are taking every ad vantage of theee conditions, and are pushing production from the mines with 1400 men. of whom 800 are miners. Mr. Purcell. manager of the Canadian Consolidated Company. which has united the War Eagle, Centre Star. Iron Mask and several other mines under one management, showed me a glass model five feet square of all the work ing of these mines. There are 27 mile of tunnels and drift within an area of 400 acres, all lighted by eleo trlclty. "In all Its history that camp haa pro duced about $50,000,000 and haa paid $3,600,000 In dividends. besides the profits which have been Invested In development. There are few . camps hloh . will show such an average of profit for a continuous period of 17 years. Opportunities Still Good. "Now tha point I wish to mak 1 this that with the reduced cost of production and with the period of ex perlment passed, there are as good opportunities to be developed as ever, but Investors seem to have forgotten the camp. While I was there Mr. Car ter got smelter returns of more than $1000 he shipped from tha Blue Bell mine on the South Belt. There are hundred of a good prospect all around, but the Spokane men, who chiefly own them, do nothing to d elop them and when anybody offers to buy, they ask the price of a devel oped mine for a prospect. w hen I returned to Spokane I saw on all sides splendid business buildings and residences which had been paid for with fortunes made out of Ross land mines. I found that the Spokane banks had $32,000,000 In deposits. That money Is not doing any good In the banks: It ought to be out working to develop the country and putting some of the Industrial Workers of the World to work. Spekaae la Debt to District. I don't know of any better place to begin than th district which gave Spokane Its first start on the road to recovery from the panlo of 189.1. "Those people seem to be afraid of something, but what In thunder It is I don't know. The country Is as good as ever. It Is still full of wealth await ing development. The trouble Is not with th country: It Is In men' minds. ommendation. Several disgruntled Cap- f tains see. bnnnm n h k-.n -. wnrlr In every possible way for months seek Irg to clear a way to promotion. It Is said that they finally succeeded In winning members of the staff to their point of view. The opportunity of the staff to deal a death blow at the present regimental organisation came up when two of the companiea voted to go into the Coast Artillery Reserves, now being organ lxed. This left the Third short three companies, the Pendleton company having recently been musterPd out, and consequently. It became possible to de atroy the regimental Identity, Inasmuch as the War Department required 12 Companies .to the regiment. Captala Bowrnaa Active. After a number of routine matters had been disposed of. Captain Loren A. Bowman, of the regiment, put the motion for dlsbandment and It waa Immediately put to a vote. Those who voted affirmatively were: Captain E. C. Welch, Colonel James Jackson, Ma jor C. C. Hammond, Captain L. A. Bow man and Colonel Sam Whit. Colonel George O. Yoran declined to vote. Major Frank W. Settlemler, . of Woodburn, la aald to be the flaw In the regimental armor that made possible the heavy affirmative vote. Criticism1 of Major Settlemler has followed him closely since he was appointed by Lieutenant-Colonel Poorman while the regiment wa without a commander following the resignation of Colonel C. K. McDonelL It was charged at tha time that Colonel Poorman made the ppolntment In retaliation for the re fusal of the regiment to select him as ColoneL Colonel Poorman has also been freely criticised. Colonel Dunbar aroused the enmity of three senior Captain by naming Walter W. Wilson as a Major over their heads and Major Wilson, too, haa been criticised. Several Captains have long contended that they should be given majorities and are known to have exerted themselves to secure the resignation of Colonel Dunbar, In or der that their promotion might become possible. Colonel Dunbar is said to have .expressed a willingness to step out but wss dissuaded from so doing by an overwhelming majority of the officer of th command. Will Goveraor Approve? In the event that Governor West formally approve the recommenda tion of the general staff, which Is supposed to regulate the affairs of the Guard, th Third will remain out of commission as a regiment until an or der Is issued calling It again into ex istence- Such an order would mean an elec tion of a Colonel by the various com pany commanders. While members of the general staff are known to nave expressed their satisfaction with Colo nel Dunbar, It is said by Guard offi cers that a number of aspirants are al ready eying tha place. On coterie of officers Is said to fa vor the selection of Charles F. Beebe, another favors Major John L. May In the event ofMhe retirement of Colonel Dunbar. Colonel Sam White, of -the general staff. Is also on record as wanting th plum, although bis sup port Is not strong at this time. Guard officers aver. Bowrnaa Stands la Llae. In the event of reorganization. Cap tain L. A. Bowman, cf the general staff, would stand In line for a vacant Majority, It Is said, as would Captain R. O. Scott, who was one of the Cap tains to vote for transfer to the Coast Artillery Corps, thus removing his company from the strength of the reg iment and leaving It open to the at tack made yesterday by the general staff. Those on the regimental staff who will be shelved In the event the Gov ernor, as Commander-in-Chief, decides to approve the recommendation, are: Colonel Thomas N.
