MINERALS OF OREGON
THET WOULD MAKB FIXE DISPLAY
AT THE COMING PAIR.
Mr. Flclc BecommcadK That Commit
tee em Mines Get to Worlc
- Early ob Collection.
J. H. Flsk, the mineralogist, has made
'the following recommendation to C. B.
Wade, David Raffety and F. "Williams,
who compose the committee on mines and
mining of the Lewis and Clark Exposition,
In regard to an exhibit of Oregon miner
als: "In compliance -with your request for
euch Information as I may have .relating
to the various metal-hearing ores and min
erals of commercial product for the Lewis
and Clark Exposition end Mineral Exposi
tion at St. Louis, 1&04, and the necessary
collection for the same, I beg to say that
In addition to those various minerals men
tioned in the circular sent me by David T.
Day, geologist in charge of U. S. Geologi
cal Survey and chief in charge of the iMln
eral Department, St. Louis Exposition,
which I filed with Secretary Reed, there
are many other minerals in Oregon of a
commercial Importance, worthy and I
the phosphate of iron; it is pale blue In
color; found in gray-wake both friable and
crystallne. in beds of clay, often cavities
of fossils; It is interesting to scientists and
valuable only for phosphate- 1
"The platinum and titanic sands of
Southern Oregon and the Jade stones lately
discovered In that section should not be
overlooked.
"This list could be greatly extended, but
it is sufficient to show what should be dons
In making the collection. 2o collection of
this nature has ever yet been made, and
as there is now an opportunity for doing
so, and funds for the purpose, I can see no
reason why it should not be accomplished,
and when our 1SG3 Fair is over they will
form a good nucleus for a State Museum.
"As for the St. Louis part of the collec
tion, only three months of this year re
main In which traveling In the mountains
is feasible to make the collection.
"In order to insure success, I would rec
ommend that a thousand letters be sent
out at once to all parts of the State, solic
iting Information regarding the location of
these minerals and commercial products,
and Invited co-operation In their collection,
and not pack them out of the mountains
on snowshoes, as was done by the World's
Fair Commission in Chicago in 1S93.
"I have on my desk a small pamphlet
Issued by the Illinois Central Railroad
Company, entitled the 'Industrial Sites In
Ten States.' A single page is devoted to
each town, stating as follows:
"Population, county debt, city debt, as
sessed valuation of property, m tax rate,
death rate per annum, number of banks.

ho put on a single page and the cost would
bo nominal and It would be a. great way

suggestion I make. "Very respectfully

DRUGGISTS TO CONVENE.
State Pharmaceutical Association
"IVIU Take Trip to The Dalles.
The Oregon State Pharmaceutical As
sociation will hold Its annual session
Tuesday and Wednesday, June 23 and 24.
A novel feature of tho annual convention
is tho fact that nearly the whole scaslon
will be held on board the Bailey Gatzert.
On Tuesday at 8:30 A. 1L the delegates,
accompanied by their wives, will leave
for a trip to The Dalles and return. The
druggists of Portland are extending this
courtesy to the vieltlng delegates. There
will be a banquet Tuesday night on arrival
at The Dalles and Wednesday morning the
return trip will be made, and by the time
of the arrival in Portland all the busi
ness of tho session will be completed. The
officers of tho association aro as follows:
President, V. H. Chastaln. of Milton, Or.;
secretary. A. W. Allen, Portland: treas
urer, Fabian Byerly, Portland. The local
committee on entertainment is composed
of J. M. A. Laue, chairman; J. A. Clemen
son, R. B. Knight and Fabian Byerly.
J'evr PlumliinK Board Meets.
The new plumbers' examining board met
at the office of tho Health Board yester
day to organize, as required by the law.

of the draw aro Goss, Cheal. Wlcker
sham, Lelter and McAlpln, while In the
lower half ore Rudy, Herdman, Pratt.
Bellinger, Ewing and Ladd. The matches
should be close and interesting, and by
reason of tho handicaps the crack play
ers above-mentioned will have consider
able difficulty in getting tho win from
players of lower classes. Pratt Is a new
player from California, who with Samuel
Hardy, of San Francisco, won tho doubles
championship of the Pacific Northwest
two years ago. A. C. Newell and J. W.
Ladd, both of whom aro players of ex
ceptional steadiness and consistency,
should progress far toward tho finals.

matches should be those between Mc
Alpln and Prince, Rudy and Herdman,
Morrison and Brandon, and Warren and
Nunn.
The matches may be played immed
iately and should bo pulled off as soon
as possible.. The finals will probably bo
held next Saturday. As a. means of de
veloping new players and of arousing
interest In tho game, preparatory to the
state championship tournament, which
will be held on July 23 and foljowing days,
this Spring handicap tournament will ba
invaluable.
