CALIFORNIA COPPER OUTPUT INCREASES Bulk of Increased Production la from Shasta County Begion Twenty-one Million Pounds Produced in This Section. O The production of blister copper in California in 190U whs 23,153,202 pounds, tin increase of about 11,500,000 pounds OTer that of 1905. The bulk of the production and nearly the whole increase was from the Shasta county region, but several other V comities contributed to the output, Calaveras county leading among these. The mine production for the year corresponds closely with tht of the smelters, chiefly because- all of the principal producers operate their own smelters. The disaster at San Francisco which temporarily demoralized certain industries had little dirfet effect on copper production. Considerable old copper was recovered during the year from the San Francisco ruins, but this has been excluded from the statistics of production junt published by. the. United .States geological survey as an advance chapter from ."Mineral Resources of the United States, Calendar Year 1905. Shasta Copper Region. The Shasta " county copper region, - which lies near Sacramento and Pit riv or, north of ttedding,"-farneSt",rofluv Lake Superior copper rangej the most extensive of the important copper,, dis tricts of the country. It is 'commonly divided into four districts, the Tron Mountain, Little Backbone, Bully XI ill and Afterthought. ' .The geology of the region has been described by J. S. Dil ler, geologist, of the United States ge ological survey, in folio No. HIS of the Geologic Atlas of the United States. The region produced in 1906 slightly less than 21,000,000 pounds of blister copper, as against an even 10,000,000 pounds in 1905. Tho ores smelted in liiofi yielded approximately 3,6 per confr of copper. The yield per ton in gold was nbout $1.60, and in silver 2.25 ounces, or $1.50, which combined are equivalent to 2.9 cents per pound of coppor. When all of tho developed de posits become actively productive the percentage of copper will' probably .de crease to some extent and that of silver increase. ... .

' The announcement of the coming of "Girl of the Streets" is certain to arouse feelings of pleasure in advance to the countless people who are famil iar with this popular piece. The play has been the principal comedy-drama success of the past two seasons and it has known an amount of popularity that has surprised even the most sanguine of its' well-wishers. Miss Berna liein hardt, who appears in the title role, is an exceedingly clever and beautiful act ress. Her age, talents conscientious work have raised her to that point wherein she is being featured. Another clever member of the company is little Vera Ludlow, tho wonderful child ar tist. This attraction will be seen at the Opera House on Monday, January 6. George B. Edwards Q Co. will pre sent their "Girl of the Streets" at the Opera House on Monday," January 6. The play ' is too well known to need much "puffing," as it has been a de cided hit the past two seasons. This year's company, scenery and specialty features are said to surpass any that have been provided for the piece.

STANDARD OIL STILL TRICKING THE LAW To the January American Magazine Ida M." Trfrbell ' contributes 1 a remark able article on "Roosevelt vs. Rocke feller." In it she shows how the Stand ard Oil company is today evading the law in a curious ami most interesting way. Tho Btbry is one of tho best Standard Oil stories ever told. Here it is:- . . ,'. ; ' ' "The law making tho pipe line a common carrier was designed to open oil transportation to the public from the Indian territory to the Atlantic seaboard. Now this trunk line was made up like the railroads running between these points of various corpo rations. This being the case, it was difficult to see how they could evade the federal regulations declaring inter state pipes. com, m on carriers. jl How Law Is Graded.' " It was left to a learned counsel of the Standard Oil company, John G. Milburn,.:to. find a. way. Mr. Mil burn advised the Standard Oil company, to readjust the ownership of its linos, so that each company would oiyn no pipe' age outside of the state in which it was incorporated; that is, oacb pipe line stopped at the state line. "In the summer-of 1906, when it became certain that the pipe line sec tion of the Hepburn bill would pass, Mr. Milburn advised his clients that henceforth they should pump no more oil across state lines. Hut how were, they to get around it? Kasily. Erect on the Pennsylvania border at the point where the oil has been pumped into Now Jersey, receiving tanks. On tho other side of the line erect a pumping station. The oil goes into the tank in Pennsylvania owned by one company, it is pumped out in New Jersey by a pump owned by another company. It is not pumped over the line! Now you see it and now you don't! Lines in Operation. 'These outfits for putting oil in on one side of a state line and taking it out on the other are actually in op tion today at Fawn Grove, between Pennsylvania and Maryland; Center- bridge, between Pennsylvania and New Jersey; and Unionville, between New York and New Jersey. Imagine the railroads reorganizing ownership so that the lines of each company stopped at the state border! Imagine all freight and passengers unloaded at the New Jersey line, New Jersey claiming that in her territory railroads were pn- ate property and could be operated to uit the owner, and the New Jersey railroads refusing to carry freight which they did not not! This is a truth ful illustration of the little arrange ment the learned counsel of the Stand ard Oil company has worked out to evade the federal law governing pipe lines. And they tell us when Mr. Roose velt objects to their methods that he is "attacking the nation's industrial and mercantile life. It really looks as if the shoe were on the other foot." Buy Tickets by Wire. 'Something which it ot considerable interest to the public generally and which is perhaps not gcnenilly known is the system of prepaid orders now in m fleet between stations of the Southern Pacific company and all points in the Tnited State. Ily menus of this system tickets may be pure linked at Medford from any place in the Knifed States and mailed or telegraphed direct to the party wihin to come here. Sleeper accommodations and small amounts nf cah in connection with these tickets inav aluo be furnished at the same time."

UNIVERSITY PLANS TO HELP -POOR STUDENTS The University of Oregon is planning a loan fund of at least $5000, based in the belief that a loan is better than an outright gift in the form of a scholar ship. Some subscriptions hare already hten made to the fund, and. a number of prominent men of the state have ngrced to, guarantee amounts tip to 4500. President Campbell is using. his best efforts to raise the entire $5000 this year if possible. In almost every high school graduat ing class there are some who do not have the means for a college education, but who would take advantage of any fair opportunity offered them to secure one. The treasurer of the fund, who is to be the high Bchool inspector and win iiius unto nu opportunity io kuow j personally the members of the classes, ! will work in conjunction with the city superintendents and high school prin-! cipals. He will make loans to such stu-1 dents as need them each year at a low rate of interest, with tho agreement) that they are to repay tho principal as soon as they are able after leaving col- lege. A small amount of life insurance J will be taken out on each at the ex- i pense of the fund. It is the plan to 1 luive ten meu guarautee the fund' against uss to the amount of $500 each. The university has had a small fund of about $300 for the past four years, "".luring this time, 2o students have been enabled to complete their college course who otherwise could have done so. Only ouc loan has been lost.
