BEPBESENTATIVE MITCHELL
AND THE BLUE SKY LAW.
, From out the hills of Baker county
-where there li more actual mining
than any other county of Oregon
came a young man by the mime of
Mitchell who aspired and wai elected
to the office of representative In the
legislature. Be'ng from a mining
county the new blue iky law, when
In the process of formation, wai flac
tS In bltf Jjanda by the legislative as
sembly and be along with Ben Olcott,
proceeded to bertnre father and god
father to the measure,
upon ua and scarcely an aore of
ground baa been plowed, at any rate
only a email area of the land to be
tilled baa felt the -plow, the outlook
for an excellent farmtaff season la
not of the best..
There is however, I'ttle discourage
aient among the ranchers for should
the weather be agreeable to farming
pursuits for (he next few weeks It
will be but a few days until the tfx
horse (earns and traction' engines
turn the soil fcud plain the grain.
W.th ithe rains now coming and the
rver In an uncertain condition there
need be no surprise if farming is Im
leded to a still greater extent, which
v'.'l rai when ho 'settled weather
rtc-'-s s'Hve everyone who is capable
of doing furra work should be drafted
Into service throughout the valley.

The law was tntettdd to do away
w.'th (ti& Cat companies of every de
scription. Its Intention was to pro
tect the person from being jobbed
with worthless sltock. Representative
(Mitchell and Secretary of State Ol
cott very proudly took credit for the
passage of the measure. Tbe news
' papers of the state screamed about
the merits of It.
But, alas, there Is a Joker In it, ac-
cording 1o latest dec'sions, and a
mining company cannot piace Its
stock on the market unless values
and earning power is guaranteed.
How will Representative Mitchell
manage . to live in Baker county
where mines are being . constantly
promoted How will be be able to
meet Fred Mellts Jas. Howard, and
other prominent mining people of Ba
ker face to face?
Mining companes cainot guaran
tee dividends. Every mine la a gam
ble and necessarily so. ' Some are
better than others. But the sole Idea
of floating a mining company is to
take partners In order to obtain large
capital to do things that the Indvid
ual Is not able to do. When the cap
ital s squandered and not used for
development purposes then the crime
Is committed, but when the money is
honestly spent in Improving and de
veloping the mine it Is an hones!,
transaction If the ore vein never pays
Tor the people at the head have used I
their best imi irmpnf nn.t .........
in the emerpriM.
What the blue sky law should have
provided for, Is honest expemVture of
the company's funds, but never uuifyr
any circumstance should. Bny v!lw

on the railroad), at the Sun River
Diversion camp, about 20 miles from
the railroad, at 'Malta, Montana (
town of about 800), and at Vandalla,
Montana a diversion camp on the
railroad. The work will last for two
or three years, and capable and effic
ient empoyees will probably be in de
mand for transfer to some other re
clamation project when tbe present
work Is finished. There are d
prospects of advancement, . which Is
conditional only on demonstrated
efficiency.
