Thoma Brsoaohurst TIMBER CLAIMS We can locate a number of parties on good timber claims of two million feet and better. Foley Blk. La Grande Investment Co. In recent address before the Miners' Institute at Pittsburg, Mr. Fred C. Kigh ley said: .There are tome problems confronting mining men today that require prompt and vigorous action or serious consequen ces will result. There seems to be tendency of late to observe numerous holidays holidays that had their origo in foreign lands and that are of interest to foreigners alone. On the other hand the holidays of this country are often not observed at alL This of itself is a bad feature and should not be tolerated for a moment. It is an evidence of disrespect on the part of these foreigners for the land that has so generously, but perhaps unwisely, taken them into its arms. They may not know this, but they should be made to realize that the manner in which they observe these so-called holidays is aninsult to modern intelligence, and the losses that through them are entailed upon their employers are not only wrongful, but a serious orrense in tne eyes ui un laws of the land that is so generously giving them sustenance. . "No real religion advocates practices that work an injury to mankind in general, and the observance of foreign holidays in the present manner certainly injures the mining and manufacturing interests, and upsets, in a degree, the business of the whole country. . ' "To my personal knowledge, one soft coal mining firm alone has already lost several thousand dollars this year by en forced idleness. In the month of April the tonage of this firm fell 1 6,000 tons of coal below the previous month's record The cause was numerous holiday obser vances in April, against one in March. Last year the output from this property was forced down to a low standard by the same cause during three different months. This not only meant a loss of business, but naturaly increased the cost of production. Other firms had the same experience. Men that wanted to work could not work, because there were not sufficient men on certain days to warrant operating. This is not all; the conse quential losses are considerable, by reason of the stopping and holding back of critical work. "The most serious matter of all is the fact that after these alleged holidays many of the men come to work in a dazed and befuddled condition that has, in some cases, undoubtedly precipitated disaster. The emigrants of late are from lands where holidays exceed in number the working days and the differ ent nations have different dates for the same holidays, making a run of holidays. thus bringing disaster to production. This evil must be relentlessly rooted out, or prosperity will cease ta exist." OREGON STATE fAR On account of. the Oregon State Fair which will be held in Salem. September 10-15 inclusive. The O.
