Best of Outside Displays at Grants Pass Gathering. St (Rogue River Courier) ' Exhibits of oro and gold nuggets at the mineral hall in Grants Pass, in it honor or tho Southern Oregon and Northern California mining congress numficr 337, declares C. L. Mangum, who has toiled unceasingly in collect ing and arranging this handsome dls Jday If all tho gold In tho ore on 'display, added to the big chunks of freehold which dazzlo tho eyes of all beholders, were melted down Into one block and handed to a pauper, that individual would live In clover tho remainder of his ecstatic days. It is one of the most valuable, one of the most beautiful and 'one of the most comprehensive mineral exhibits ever collected under ono roof In the golden west. In recounting this fact. it is hut paying a deserved tribute to say that of outside districts exhibit ing oro, Gold Hill deserves the palm for bringing here a wonderful col lection of valuable frqo milling and refractory ores. Mayor J. H. Beeraan of Gold Hill is in charge, and In ad dition to a rich collection displayed in a locked glass cabinet, Mayor Bee man. Is exhibiting ore from tho Lucky Bart mine, located on Sardine creek ,and owned by himself, which in the past IS years has given up $250,000 worth of tho precious metal. Mayor Beeman also has handsomo rock on exhibition from the Revenue mine on Kane's creek, being developed by Mc Clcndon and McDonald; also from tho Corporal G and the Blossom, the latter mlno cutting Into its hill 1000 feet below tho apex of the mountain. Tho noted mines of Josephlno county are splendidly represented by largo quantities of ore, rock coming from tho Oriole, Almeda, Old Glory, Michigan; and other noted properties display ore, such as tho Sterling of Jackson county, owned by Sterling Gold Quartz Mining company, with R. L. Ray ono of tho owners and manager. Hundreds of pounds of ynluablo stuff como from many pros pects in Josephine county and from tho Slskiyous. From Hio'latter coun t try I. J. Luce, of Etna Mills, has rock on display worth $100 a pound, in addition ''to a flno lot of mill rock speckled with freo gold. i What It Costs to Grow Apples. (From the Spokane Spokcsinnn- Kcview.) One of tlio commercial data Unit growers of fruit in the Inland empire have long needed, or at Ieust havo not pobsessed with sufficient fulness, is the cost of growing und marketing apples. ' ' Washington State college has fig- urede it out for 300 growers and some of tho results surprise the layman. ) It appears that ubout 52 per cent of the cost of a hox of apples is due ' .to picking, pucking, transportation and other expenditures connected ' with these operations. It is explicit ly stated that, when wiicn only tho liubt mothods and the highest stand ards of packing (ire employed, tho 'cost of growiug ono box of upplos and placing it on the market is 3.1 cents. It is found that the expenso of growing uml marketing a box of , fruit on irrigated land is G1. fonts greater than of fruit from dry farms. The conclusions are based on tho data supplied by tho Walla Walla and 'alouso districts. Tlioy lcquire, to ho olieokod by fuels and figures 'from other districts.

TVT13WS comes from Salem ii league" has been organized with that great patriot and saviour of. the common wealth. Jial latton at tlio neini (probably here are ono or two others in tho league) to carry Oregon lor TaCt. One would like to know just what there is in common between Lincoln and Taft, except that ono was the l'irsl republican president and the other the last. Though both called themselves republicans, there is as much difference in their principles as in their physical appearance. jjiucoin crime, tan, lame, rawnoneu ran spuuer, ws emblematic of the originalitv, purpose and sincerity of the republican party of the early UO's. lie was styled fanatic and anarchist by the plutocracy of his time. Taft, polished, suave, flabby and over fat, conventional nnndetl and ruled by formula, is equally representative of the republican party of the twentieth century and praised by the plut ocracy which has transformed his party. Lincoln was essentially a man of the people. Taft never was and never can" be. One had the democratic mind, the other the tory the one the radical, the other the conservative; the one blazed trails, the other follows ruts, the one was a progressive, the other a stand patter. And this is no saying but that each tried to do right as it was given him to see the right merely the fundamental difference between tho two. The name of Lincoln is a svnonym for honesty and so we see all kinds of get-rich-quick and wild-cat seh.emcrs in business, and fakirs in politics, taking refuge behind the revered name as a shield to disarm suspicion from the shady transactions being carried on to fool the, people. Taft has men-its enough of his own to stand upon. It will not help him to link him with memories of the great est of commoners. lie will be judged by his record. Stand patters and reactionaries and those who are satisfied with existing conditions will vote for Taft. Those who want a change, who believe in political progress und direct rule of the people, in the initiative, referendum and recall, will vote against him. If Taft has made good in tJie opinion of the majority, they will vote for him. If he has not, and the majority hold that he has been weighed in the balance and found wanting, he will be defeated and the cheap political trick of linking his name with Lincoln's will not help him in Oregon where the people have outgrown such campaign claptrap. RAILROAD INJUSTICE. SISKIYOUS PART OF KLAMATHS Chief Geologist of U. S. Government Says Mountains to West of Valley Arc In Santo Zone of Mineralization as Sierra Nevada and Blue Ranges. A revision of railroad rates will be necessary if this sec tion ever attains prominence as a mining center. The experience of the Sterling Gold Quartz Company in shipping steel rails is an example of existing injustice towards Southern Oregon and shows the wooden-headed methods in vogue in establishing freight rates. In all tunnel work, steel rails are necessary. Every mine must have these rails. They can be purchased in Portland or San Francisco. But the railroad forces all shipments through Portland, no matter where you buy. The wholesale price in rails is $2.70 per hundred at Port land, and $2.05 at San lYaneisco, a difference of (55 cents per hundred in favor of San Francisco. But this saving must be whacked up with the Southern Pacific. The freight rate on rails from San Francisco to Med ford, a distance of 440 miles is $1.23 per hundred pounds. The freight rate on rails from San Francisco to Port land, 330 miles farther, is 41 cents. The railroad charges 82 cents per hundred pounds more for hauling steel rails 440 miles than it does for hauling them 770 miles. The freight rate from Medford to Portland is 71 cents for rails. One can ship the 770 miles to Portland and back the 330 miles to Medford, a total of 1,100 miles, for $1.12 .or 11 cents cheaper than one can ship direct to Med ford, 440 miles. ' Or one can ship rails from San Francisco to Portland by boat for 20 cents a hundred pounds and thence here by rail for 71 cents, total 91 cents a hundred or 32 cemts cheaper than if shipped direct to Medford. This illustrates pretty plainly how Medford is discrim inated against by the existing tariffs of the Southern Pa cific. A penalty is put upon shipping all freight here from the south, and shows what the restoration of the old tariff, which we were assured "meant nothing to Medford or Southern Oregon, because we shipped nothing," means to business here. We are forced to buy in San Francisco to secure a lower price than Portland will make, and then held up by the railroad and forced to ship via Portland, giving most of what would be saved, to the railroad. This is but one instance out of a hundred that could be cited of railroad injustice. How can Medford expect to build up any kind of a shipping or jobbing center, in tho face of such discrimination? SPAIN BACKS DOWN; IN MOROCCO AFFAIR LONDON, July 20. Unofficial statements today hero attribute Spain's backdown in tho Moroccan situntion in the influence of Germuny. King Alfonso's government apolo gized to Franco for the arrest of its consul at Alcazar, it is said, as tlio result of a strong request fiom Gor mauy not to complicate the situation in Morocco pending tlio settlement of negotiations between Franco and Ger many.

The citrus oi op is valued at about $30,000,000 and tho beet sugar at $12,000,000, tho Lima beau ciop now being thiid ill value, "Those luountnlns west of Medford called tho Slskl.vous, aro really part of vv hat should ho called tho Klamath group," Btatod Prof. J. S. Ulllor, chief geologist of tho Pulled States geolo glen survey, who made tho original annoy of Crater Lake and has had chargo of geological survey work on the const for many years, who spent Wednesday visiting in Medford. Ho continued: "Thero Is a group of mountain ranges and peaks extending from Rogue rlvor in Oregon to Mad river In California that constitutes a tils tlnct rango, which was named many oars ago by Major Powell, tho Klam ath mountains. Grants Pass is among tho hills of the Klamath mountains, quite distinct from tho Cascade range east of Ashland and Medford or tho coast rango of Oregon farther north. I wish to tirgo tho more general adop tion of this useful comprehensive name, Klamath mountains. Their distinction Is chiefly geological. "Tho Cascade rango extends from l.nsser Peak In California north across Oregon Into Washington. Tho Sierra Nevada extends southeast In California. Tho coast rango of Cali fornia from Mad rlvor southward and the coast range of Oregon from Hogue river near tho coast north ward, while tho Klamath mountains lies chiefly in tho drainage of Klam ath river in California. "Tho geological formations of tho Klamath mountains aro essentially tho Bams as thoso of tho Sierra Nev ada, being puelozo, ic, chiefly car boniferous with somo Jurassic. "Tho formation in tho Klamath mountains chnngo tnoir strike or course across the country from north west to northeast. "In tho southern part of tho Klam ath mountains they hno the same trend as in tho Sierra Nevada, north west and southwest, but in Oregon they turn, so as to run northeast to wards tho Dluo mountains of eastern Oregon. "The mineral belts and bolts of folding and faulting. In general, fol low tho same courses. In Trinity and Siskiyou counties of California they run northwest and southeast, (u Josephine, Jackson and Douglas counties, of Oregon, they run north east and southwest. "Tho general conclusion Is that tho Slorra Nevada of California, tho Klamath mountains and tho Qluo mountains of Oregon are all in tho samo general zone of mineralization.
