WILL SINK 100 FOOI TUNNEL Oriole Mining Company Decides to Erect Mill and Proceed to Im prove Its Property on a Large Scale. At tlio.-.annuali meeting of.-, tho, Oriole Mining company, hold last week, there was considerable Impor tant business transacted outside of electing the. officers of the concern for tho ensuing year, says the Ob server. At this time the company decided to Install a jiow 60-ton mill and arrangements for tho purchase of Uiq same were mado. The mill and the machinery necessary to op erate tho same will cost in the neigh borhood of $80,000. It is expected that the 'equipped plant will reach Grants Pass In the near future. The company also decided to sink a shaft this year to thp depth of 1000 feet below tho fourth level. They already hno more than ono mile of tunnel work and above this 700 feet of stopping ground. When tho 1000 foot shaft is completed the bottom -will bo 200 foot abovo tho lowest level of another lnrge mine in the same locality. In tho past about 25 men havo been employed at tho mine, but this yearorhaps GO will bo em ployed on account of tho placing of tho now machinery. Work nt tho mlno will bogin In April, or before If tho weather will pormlt. . Tlio Oriolo mine is Jocatod about 25 Tulles from O ranis Pass and Is leached by a good road which has been kept in good shape. Tho com pany last weak donated $250 to bo expended by the county in repairs. This routo is made particularly at tractive by the beautiful surround ings and niany from tho city fount their eyes each summer season on the picturesque scenery. On account of the fact that a ma jority of tho board was not present nt tho mooting a new set of officers was not oleeted.

Tho latest combines tlio turn mini attributes of uncommercial in stinct autl tho spirit of adventure Ilia own description, as It up poured in a London paper, Js us fol lows "An Englishman public ohool boy, perfect physique 32 years old, un married, reckless, penniless, without ovor-weonljig sorilplost wjll sou his Jlfo or jBqryJcoj lo His hjglunt bid dor; u dangerous o? doBpe,rto mis sion, preferred ; lajnunoraUpn to bo IH'QitorMqniUe, 1$ jho risk nnd Uio suc cess of tlio undertaking. Addiuss 'I'lipoiivonijonal.'" llasktus for health, COURTHOUSE TEVKLOPMENTS at the county ooui'thouso this weok - show a surprising lack of business methods and sys tem in the transaction of county affairs by the county clerk. Jf (he same laxity and carelessness exists in other offices, as charged by Air. Coleman, it is high time for investigation and change. There is no uSe in hlaming the system. The system is hut the creation of the man, an abstract intangible thing. It. is tho man that is at fault the system is only the ex pression o:f his work."' No matter how "open, frank and honest" the official may he, it does not excuso equally open and frank viola tion of law. "Hell is paved with good intentions.'' Disregard of the oath of office, methods that throw the shadow of the prison over the official are the result of either incompetence or dishonesty. Thf wonder is that anvone has follv enough to follow them. The public monies are not individual property there fore it is wrong to treat them as such. If thev do not be long to the official, they have no right to be deposited in tlurindividual'sname and checked against as individual property. To do this is so fundamentally wrong that it is apparent on its lace. Are all the county accounts kept in this fashion, as Air. Coleman charges ? It seems scarcely possible. If thev are, reform, and Reform with a big I? not. onlv should be, but must be, tho order of tho day. The state law orders the publication of semi-annual reports by the county clerk and other county officials. This law has not been observed in Jackson countv in re cent years. The taxpayers are entitled to this informa tion and the publicity should be welcomed by the officials themselves. N Business methods must govern especially during the road construction period soon to come.

SCHOOL KIDS 10 LEnHJOISWHO Boys and Girls of the Schools of Oregon to Undertake Contests in Manual Training and Domestic Science. Iieforo the first March winds blow tho greatest series of tryouts ever held in the schools of Oregon will bo under way. Tho boys and tho girls of the stnto are going to deter mine "who Is who" in gardening, farming, carpentry, cooking, sewing, and In raising chickens, ducks and pigs. Enthusiasm for this state wldo series ,of Industrial contests is waxing warmer than it has ever been for contents along athletfc linos. Tlio plan is for every county su perintendent to enlist the support of his teoclicrs in explaining the plan to tho children and Interesting them In tlio work, and to secure pie co operation pf commercial clubs, bank ers, and business men In obtaining prizes for their local or county fairs. Thcso county or local premium lists may be mado out independently of tho stato list, but In order that chil dren competing at a local or county fair may also bo in lino for state prizes tho local or county list should Include the articles on tho state l(t, which are: Fiold corn, pop corn, sweet corn, watormolons, muckmol- ons, pumpkins, squashes, potatoes, cabbago, grain selections, bird hous es,, piece of furniture, mechanical toy, labor saving device for homo, bread, canned fruit, Jolly, mending, darning, aprons, drossos, asters, sweet peas, chickens, ducks and pigs. A bulletin of Information and In struction, including tho stnto prize list, will soon bo sont oqt to the school chlldron, one for ovory home. jAU the boys and the girls now need to no is to go to won:, if tney jWant to competo In gardening they should at onto secure a plot of ground, which they ' may havo plowed. If boys expect to win prizes "la woodwork they should begin prac ticing with their tools. If girls wish .to carry off laurels in cooking, and aowing, tney must negin euriy euner at school or at home. If It Is tho poultry contt'8t that lures most Bet tings of qggs should bo Kocured from breeders of pure strains of chickons Or ducks. Or If hog raising Booms most attractive, tho competitor should secure a thoroughbred pig and xtart to feeding and caring for It. Thoro is nothing to prevent a boy or girl from competing In all thego lines. OWiCKK FOK ItKN'T. ', TIlo largost, lightest, cleanest of. flco rooms In Medford are In tho GarnotUCorey building.

Tho tons of literature and the hint dreds of speakers hi the civuuo tif socialism have boon seriously tm podotl for lack ut opposition.

' Some exception, of course. Lntu ly an able minister of tho gospel did mount tho rostrum to dobato thu Quantum ngaiust tHulnllsuu llo Is now speaking ami writing In Its favor, a la Saul f Tbmus, or Toxns.

A bat talion of occlcstntlca was hired; preachers, tabll, priests; to hand out a pulpit Roland for a socialist Oliver. Shortly after tho fuuds had been passed oor to the doctor of divinity who was In charge of the affntr, stumbled across an Ohio so clallst lawyer, and was religiously and politically knocked out. it has been alleged tint lu did not drop thu cash. Not liolug a socialist he did not "divide up." Nothing fur ther was heard of It. Hut now amike wny tho another "Richmond In the field." At last the socialist's InvlUtlon for some body to pleasu (ramp on his coattull has been uceopted. In your Issue of -Tlh Inst, there Is an article reprinted from the St I.ouls Republic by reiiuest. "Social ism In Smnll Iteee." Its title sug geotcd that It would take thu Initia tive In filling tho socialists' long felt want, it was a failure. Mude up of assertions, premises rotten of the rotten. In short a raw bunch of Col. Roosevelt' "uglier words." That It passed the blue pencil of the editor of the Republic was marvel; such monstrous falsehoods nro boomornngs, kill more coming bnck than when golnc out. When thu in runt socialism was In the toothing stage some such stuff might be used to strangle it, but when thu giant threatens the world of wrong. It Is favorable to lint cause. It's nut a new thing, this whole sale lying. In densely Ignorant sec tions. It might pass, and has. In tho early days of the republican party tho democratic crowd "was slnceroly attempting to correct groat political wrongs" soo article. Much of what Is said In tlio article is repe tition of what wns alleged in 1S59 1SC0. Tho Appeal to Hoasou of January 27 reprints a cartoon of 1SB9, which represents Lincoln straddlo of a rail homo by Horaco Groely, entering the door of a lunatic asylum. They are followed by a procession of women nnd mon. Hero Is what they are saying: Greoly Hold on there Abe, wo'll go In hro by unanimous con sent of the popple.

Something shaved from tho exag geration of thocartoon; that senti ment was charged tip to tho repub lican party at that tlnio The writer of tho nrtlclo might havo been a socialist Joker on tho Republic staff, This probability Is strengthened by tlio fact that tho mar Jor portion ot writers for tho papors aro socialists, declarod or at heart. t It however It was wrltton to wound, tho enomy it Is a failure.
