Phone 78 Shipments of Ore Are Increasing Grants Pass Courier: Shipments of ore from the mines of the Illinois valley are fast Increasing, last week ten cars-having left Waters Creek, at the terminus of the new railroad, for the smelters and eastern mar kets. This Is the largest week's bus iness yet done from the mines, and was "divided about half copper and half chromic Iron ore. The copper came from the Queen of Bronze and the Waldo mines, while the chrome was from a number of mines in the valley, some coming as far as from the base of Oregon mountain. The copper was forwarded over the Southern Pacific from this city to the smelter at Tacoma, while the chrome is now on Its long Journey to New York, where it will be used to take the place of the shipments that for merly came from Europe. Development in the mining of the chromic Iron ore is fast going for ward, and an effort is now being made to find ways and means for the building of a wagon road down the Illinois river that big deposits of the ore found in that district can b.e hauled out to the railroad. The pro posed road would run down the Illi nois from Selma about to Oak flat, and would follow the route of the forest trail already built. A widen ing of the trail is all that would be required for the first few miles of the distance. The business developed in the ba sin of the Illinois by railroad build ing activities is going to create a growing demand for highway build ing, and there Is no part of the west where the need for roads will be more pressing than In that region. The federal aid for road building, and especially the feature for the building or roads through the forest reserves by the advance of funds from forest sources, is most timely. In southern Oregon there are many districts ' that must be developed either wholly or partially by roads through the national forests. The proposed road to the Josephine caves will open up great bodies of the best timber in the state, while, the con struction of the read down the Illi nois will make available for immedi ate shipment 40,tf00 tons of chromic ore already in sight. These are both small projects, and the government should recognize their industrial im portance and give them aid over some of the more gigantic projects that will have comparatively small commercial value. ii . Sting Us With Gold Bricks Like These Grants Pass Courier: Three bricks of gold that weighed 4 35 ounces gladdened the eyes of those who saw ! them at the First National Bank, the I gold being a . part of the monthly cleanup at the Logan placer mine at Waldo. The value of these bricks I was more than $9,000, and marks one of the largest cleanups in the I record of the mine. Not all the ' sluice boxes had been completely ' cleaned when these bricks were cast, i and the total output of the mine for ; the month is expected to reach $14, ' 000. S. P.

Lasky production of "The ; Sowers," a thrilling drama of Rus sian political Intrigue founded upon i Henry Seton Merrlman's novel of the ' same name, prepared for the screen by Marlon Fairfax and produced un der the personal direction of William C. DeMllle. Prince Paul Alexis of Russia Is in ; love with the daughter of his chan- cellor, Karln Dolokhof. The three ' are secretly working for the League, of Freedom to make Russia a repub lic. The agents of the league are everywhere and the chief of the se cret police is beginning to feel a vague unrest throughout the coun try. The prince and Karln have just plighted their troth when the prince receives word from the czar that ho must marry the Princess Tanyo for political reasons. The prince at first wants to leave Russia with the chancellor and his ' betrothed, but Karln makes him real-, ize that his duty to the league comes before love. Princess Tanya is in love with Count Egor Strannlk or the secret police, but she- and the prince are married. Vnder cover of the princess' recep tion the heads of the league gather ( at the home of the prince for a con-: ference. The chief of police learns of ( this plan through an intercepted mes sage and sends Strannlk to get evi-, dence at the reception. The prince catches the princess in the arms of Strannlk and beats him with the knout. The league heads meet and the prince is entrusted with some papers which he conceals In a groove in the wall. Strannik and his men ; trap the prince and Karln by threat-! enlng to use the knout on her lover makes Karln reveal the hiding place : of the papers." ! Having secured the evidence, the princess and Strannik flee, but are found by the pursuing heads of the j league. The princess is killed and, , although the papers are secured, ; Strannik escapes. Freed from his distasteful mar-' riage, the prince, Karin and the chan cellor flee the country. buy home ASHLAND ii Psrk Gae nnM iik t " JaJX al JLr , , morris bros..

Hardware Asks $385,000 of Government Funds The state highway commission Thursday made formal application to the department of agriculture for $383,000 of government funds for use In road construction in Oregon. The request for government aid as provided for In the federal act for the construction of rural post roads was signed by Governor Withycombe, Secretary of State Olcott and State Treasurer Kay, and immediately for warded to Washington. In its application the highway commission sets forth that the money Is desired for building what is known as the Mount Hood Loop road, the Crater Lake road, a road from Klam ath Falls to Eugene and thence west to Florence on the coast, and aroad to certain scenic caves In Josephine county. Later the commission also expects to furnish the government of ficials with other routes which It may be desired to improve. It is expected that approximately $170,000 will be available from the government for road construction this year. Only the details of the proposed Mount Hood Loop road, its approxi mate cost being $2900,000 for the 172 miles of its length, were includ ed in the commission's request. No specific data on the other proposed roads are yet at hand, but as soon as the information is obtained the commission will forward it to the government officials. Through the provisions of section 8 ft the federal road act, the com mission has asked for an appropria tion of $315,000 and $100,000, which it is hoped will be available this year. The expenditure of this money and its allotment 4o different states and road projects Is under the supervision of the forestry bureau of the depart ment of agriculture. The money, It Is provided, must be expended on reads located within federal forest reserves. Governor Withycombe said he be lieved the Mount Hood Loop project was a good one, but declared he feared too much attention was beitfg paid to scenic roads and not enough to commercial highways. "I feel that this fund is Intended to help isolated communities," he told the other members of the commis sion. ' "If we can build roads that will give outlets to farmers in outly ing sections, we will accomplish a great good." Driven from Home OUR boys and girls are leaving the farms and Home Towns by the thousand anc swarming into the congested cities. There they work and struggle against frightful odds, the majority never getting a chance. If we had always spent our money at home we could have built up industries at home to give employment to these boys and girls. How many children has our neglect of homo interests driven away in to' the Big Cities? Just in so far as we failed to give our support to our Home community arc we responsible for this condition. We are the ones who have blocked their chances. We have placed a handicap in their lives. They are not other people's children. They are ours. But it is not too late to do our duty by the next generation. They belongs to us, too. Let us do everything in our power to keep these children at home. Let us spend our money at home. Paints Buttermilk Streak On Street W. A. Teutsch of Los Angeles was a tourist visitor In the city Thursday. This one is a little bit old, but rather than let "a good story die un told, we will run the risk of turning this issue into a history. It happened several days, in fact, two weeks, ago. Fred Homes drove to town with a wagon which he has fixed up for the purpose, to get a load of buttermilk for his hogs. Leaving the Ashland creamery at a lively clip, he drove down through town.'blissfully oblivi ous of anything wrong. Lo and be hold, when Fred had "druv on" there was a beautiful streak of white about three feet wide which the police had not painted on the street for the edi fication of auto tourists. The streak led from the creamery to where it was lost in the dust of the country roiul at the end of the pavement. No one has learned whether Fred got home with any buttermilk left, but one would judge by the way it was leaking when he went through town that the pigs went hungry that night. The explanation lies in the fact that the warm weather had allowed the cracks in the tank on the wagon to expand until the milk cart was un sen worthy.' If you don't believe us, take a look at Main street. The traces still remain. Will Stop Theft of Light Bulbs Between five and six dozen lights have been stolen from the Lithia Park auto camp during the past three weeks. Outside of the fact that to take away from the night beauty of our parks is vandalism, stealing is stealing, whether it is taking 25 cents from the cash drawer of a store or a light bulb from the park. The au thorities are determined to put a stop to these thefts, and "family name" will not keep the names of the thieves out of the papers nor the thieves out of court if detected. The electric light department will stamp all the bulbs used in Lithia Park hereafterl with a L. P., and in his monthly in spections the city electrician will j keep a close watch out for the bulbs. should any more be stolen. Old Hen Mothers Orphan Chickens A mowing machine rand over a nest of a hen pheasant which was sitting on some eggs in the field on H. L. Sinclair's place jus( east of the city limits, one day last week. The mother pheasant was killed. Mr. Sin clair put the eggs under a ben which was brooding, and the little pheasants are beginning to hutch. If a success is made of raising the little pheasants they will be turned loose on Mr. Sin clair's place as soon as they can cara for themselves. Phone news items to the Tidings.

A majority of the gypsies who have passed through this year have trav eled In automobiles. Medford people were up In throngs for the band concert and dance Fri day evening.
