give every student an opportunity to
discover and develop his particular
abilities.
The outline of the plan ls as follows:
First Each high school student shall
be required during the year to earn 15
points by participation in one or more
of the activities designated below.
Second This work shall be con
sidered as a part of the regular course
in English and the grade in that sub
ject for the second semester shall be
withheld from any pupil who has not
earned the required number of points.

to determine when any student has ful

TRUST BUSINESS GROWS

PANIES IX COUNTRY 7,60O,0O0,OO0.
Special Department of Banking Is
New In Oregon Yet. bnt Year's
Increase Ia 10 Per Cent.
The total resources of the trust com
panies of Oregon amount to $3,983,093,
a gain of $388,000, or 10 per cent, dur
ing the past year, according to the re
port set forth in the 14th annual edi

Daly, of te Title & Trust Company,
Oregon representatives of the United
States Mortgage & Trust Company,
which compiles and issues the report.
As he compared the showing made
by Oregon with the other states of the
country Mr. Daly remarked yesterday
that the trust idea is new in this field
yet, but predicted that it would see
steady development, as the 10 per cent
increase this year indicates.
"When it is considered that the aggre
gate of trust company resources re
ported during the year increased $1,
300,000.000 and no wtotals over $7,600,
000,000, the vital and growing impor
tance of the part played by trust com
panies In National and international
affairs will be fully realized and these
institutions continue to receive a de
servedly increasing measure of recog
nition and support," said Mr. Daly last
night.
"Just five years ago the aggregate
resources of these companies were $5.-
168,000, showing an increase of 47 per
cent lor all trust companies in the
United States. In New York they in
creased $531,000,000, or 25 per cent;
Pennsylvania, $139,000,000, or 15 per
cent; Illinois, $117,000,000, or IS pei
cent, and Massacnusetts, $110,000,000, or
26 per cent."

TOTAL CAPACITY 100 TONS
As Haul of 25 Miles to Railroad Is
Costly Lean Product Heretofore
Has Gone on Dump Another
Mine to Run Soon.'
GRANTS PASS. Or.. Nov. 25. (Spe
cial.) Two new concentrating- plants
in the Josephine County copper dis
trict have been started in operation
this week and will add materially to
the output. The two mines, the Waldo
Copper, in the Illinois "Valley, and the
Copper King, on Grave Creek. In the
north part of the county, have been
shipping ore for some time past, but
much of the lower grade ore has been
held in the dumps because It would not
stand the long haul by wag-on to the
railroad for shipment to the smelter.
The capacity of each mill is 60 tons a
day. The Waldo has been shipping its
best ore to the smelter at Tacoma,
hauling by wagon 15 miles to fhe rail
road at Waters Creek. Inability to
get cars for shipment from Waters
Creek has caused a congestion of or en
and lumber there, but hauling will con
tinue as long as the condition of the
roads will permit. The roads are now
as good as they have been at any time
during the season, and indications are
that the mines will make a record run
before shipping ceases.. The concen
trates will be brought out regardless
of thi road condition. The crude ore
which ls being shipped runs from 10 to
15 per cent copper, with M to ia a ton
in gold.
The operation of the famous Green
back mine, located near Placer, on
Grave Creek, in this county, by Buffalo
people ls of foremost Interest in the
mining district.
The Greenback ls the greatest pro
ducer that Southern Oregon has known,
though for elpht years it had been
closed down. During the eight years
of its oper tlon it prod, ced $2,250,000
worth of gold. It ls a free-milling gold
property and has a 40-stamp mill. The
new company that has Just taken it
over will operate only 20 of the stamps
at present. A crew of 25 men is now
getting the mine in shape to run and
the stamps will be started within the
next two weeks. W. L. Baker and H.
L. Holmes, of Buffalo, are here direct
ing the work for the new owners. There
ls about three miles of underground
workings upon the Greenback.

out at you from the simple pattern

The very common sense of It
shows how it lays a right-angled
block against the forward or side
wise slip of the tire, and nips a skid
in the borning.
Note further, the pattern of the
Goodrich Safety Tread takes the
wear off the BODY of the tire, and
gives it longer life.
That's why Goodrich Black
