The summer school at the Univers ity of Oregon has the largest attend ance in the history of the Institution. Standards have been raised, six cred its now taking as much work to earn as was formerly required for seven. No credit is now given for attend ance at assembly lectures, yet these have proven popular enough to fill the largest hall on the campus every day at 11 without any other reward than the lecture itself. Among the students is an unusually large pro portion of older men and women, who go at the work in a serious and determined way and are setting a pace in study that is not any too easy for the young people to follow. Monday, July 13, 1914 Tuesday, at the usual round table time, the session will be devoted to boosting for the. Normal. The speakers will be Irving-Vining, J. H. Gilbert and Ben Sheldon. Come out and boost. We should be interested in getting back the Normal, before others can be expected to. THE EXPRESS IS IN THIS TOWN AND IN TO STAY FOR seventy-five years three quarters of a century the Ex press has been the right-hand of . the shippers of commercial America. .The Express came to Ashland, Ore., in 1866 and it came to stay. For forty-eight years it has been the right-hand of commercial Ashland. It is here to stay. The other day when reports went out that the ex press companies might retire from business, a protest went up. From whom this protest the express Com panies? No! The merchants of the country shippers everywhere peti tioned Congress that no action be taken that might have the effect of forcing the express companies to re tire. Commercial organizations all over the land have joined in this appeal to Washington. For seventy-five years in the past and for a good many more years in the future Express Service will mean ' PERSONAL SERVICEFULL RESPONSIBILITY OO OAK ST. WELLS FARGO & CO., EXPRESS D A.

Grants Pass Altering and repairing promptly done at Orres' shop. eral Industry of Jackson County," which was well received and treated largely of the reasons for the lack of development, Mr. Lamb laying great stress upon the necessity to do away with dishonest promoters. The address was received and filed. This address was followed by a general discussion in which Mr. Anderson of Redding strongly endorsed the pa per, as did O. L. Young, Mr. Bonnell and others, among whom was S. E. Bennett of Denver, Colo., of the En gineering and Mining Journal. Hon..F. McN. Hamilton, state min eralogist of California, delivered a splendid address on the "Mining De velopments of California." The ad dress was received and filed. President Luce then read a paper prepared and submitted by Professor Milner Roberts, dean of the College of Mines, University of Washington, which was also - favorably received and filed. ' F. W. Armstrong followed with an informal address in which he strong ly endorsed Etna Mills as the next meeting place of the congress, and In which he attributed the falling off of mining in Siskiyou county largely to the employer'es liability law of that state. The next address was given by S. B. Vincent of the corporation depart ment, who appeared in behalf of the Hon. R. A. Watson, the corporation commissioner, now in New York, who was to have been present. Mr. Vin cent delivered one of the most ably prepared papers delivered at the con gress, his subject being "Blue Sky Law, Its Effect on the Mining In dustry." The address was most en thusiastically received and showed that the Blue Sky law has rendered a great service to the people of the state and has actually resulted in furthering the interests of mines and mining, as well as the development of corporations generally. Mr. Vincent succeeded in convincing the congress that the corporation department seeks only to promote and foster all legitimate industries, and that Its principal work is in an endeavor to weed out dishonest operators, with out reference to who they are, where located, or in what business engaged, but, stated that any corporation en gaged In a legitimate business and conducted along legitimate lines need not hesitate to co-operate with the department. His address was very strongly endorsed by the congress. C. B. Watson followed with an In teresting address on "Geology and Mineralogy." which was very well re ceived, very instructive and ably ren dered. W. H. Burr, M. E.. of Medford read an interesting paper on the sub ject of "Metallurgical Failures In Southern Oregon and Northern Cali fornia, Their Prevention and Cure." The address was full of Bplendld thought and good suggestions, and strongly endorsed the extraction of the ores in the vaclnlty of the. mines rather than the shipment to the smelters or other reducing, plants at a large outlay for hauling, freight and treatment chart. 7.,roiir The paper was received and filed. i This completed the addresses and a short business meeting was held, the president calling for a report of the committee on nomination and place of meeting. The committee re ported as follows: "To the Southern Oregon and North ern California Mining Congress: "Gentlemen: Your nominating and place of meeting committee wish to make the following recommendations: "1.
