Oregon's record In tlio Liberty
Loan drives would have been Impos
sible without the splendid co-operation
of tho newspapers of the state.
This statement waa made recently
by one of the stale loan executives.
It Is a tribute to the press of Oregon
that Is deserved.
The Red Cross drives, tho Y. M. C
A. and Salvation Army campaigns
and the Knights ofColumbus drives
have all depended, in the luflt analy
sis upon tho wholehearted and vol
untary support of tho press of Ore-
Kon

of handling government publicity
tho margin of profit Is cut clear to
the bone. Paper has doubled In
price, ink has trebled, printers' wages
have soared to the clouds, and yet
the country editor Is serving the pso-
pie of b's community at the same old
price.
Now comes Editor Jackson of the
Portland Journal with an Initiative
bill to readjust the legal rate sched
ule. The rate has been equitably
fixed by the state legislature so that
the country publisher can charge no
more than five cents per line. Jack
This support has been freely son, who has tried for years to die
the start, without any tate to the press of Oregon, without
, results, now would hound the conn

f

donated.
"When honors nro apportioned for

n big man of tho nation recently,'

True, It has been expensive busi

THEORIES ADVANCED OX
NEW STAR IUUG1ITENIXG.
Some remarkable facts reveajed
uy tne telescope and the spectro
scope regarding Nova Aqutlae -No. 3,
the new star that fdazed forth In the
heavens June 8, last, as the result
of a "celestial catastrophe" have
been set forth In an article prepared
for the Associated Press by Dr. Wal
ter S. Adams, assistant director of
the Mount Wilson solar observatory,
which Is located near Pasadena.
"Tho appearance of the tempor
ary star or nova in the constellation
of Aqullla on June 8 Is one of the
most Interesting astronomical event3
In many years," said Dr. Adams In
his article "Altho such stars are by
no means unknown, 15 having been
discovered since 1S91, no star com
parable with this In brightness has
appeared since the celebrated star of
Kepler In 1604.
"Altho such stars are called novae,
tliey are new only In the sense of
undergoing an enormous Increase in
brightness. Thus Nova Aqullae No.
3 (so culled since two othor tempor
ary stars had been found previously
In this constellation) has been Iden
tified' as'a fafnt star, quite Invisible
to the naked eye, on a large number
of photographs taken during the past
30 years.
"Its Increase In brightness appar
ently began on June 7, and on June
9 It was 10,000 times as bright as It
was originally nnd by far tho most
brilliant litar In tho summer sky. It
men began to farle, at first ranldlv
and then more gradually, with occas
ional oscillations in light. By August
1 it had become reduced to on?-hu l
dredth of Its greatest brilliancy.
"It Is clear that the outburst ot a
noval must represent something In
the nature of a celestial catastrophe,
since no ordinary physical process can
account for the extraordinary In
crease of light within a few hours.
two theories have been suggested
to account for the phenomenon, the
collision of two stars and the collis
ion of a star with a cloud of nebulous
gas. At present there is little to
choose between them, but the re
sults of tho study of Nova Aqulllae
may aid In a decision.
"Apart from direct photography
of the region surrounding the star
and accurate determination of If
variation In light, tho principal ob
servational work at the Mount Wil
son observatory has been devoted to
a study of its spectrum. In general
this has followed that of other tem
porary stars. Beginning with a spe
trum In ninny ways resembling a fa
miliar stellar type It developed a
series of broad bright bands due to
hydrogen and helium. These under
went many variations, but within n
few weeks the bright bands charac
teristic of nebulao began to appear.
A remarkable and most Imnort-
ant development In the spectrum
uetectsd on photographs taken at
Mount Wilson, was the appearance
on the second night after Its discov
ery of an extraordinary number of
fairly narrow absorption lines With
the aid of comparisons with other
stellar spectra It has been found pos
sible to Identify most of these with
lines due to the metals Iron, chro
mium nnd titanium. The Interesting
feature, however, Is that they are dis
placed very greatly toward the vio
let from their normal positions.
'Now we know with certainty of
not physical cause which can displace
so large a number of lines to such "an
extent and leave them rvfL mnHor.

this may represent either an enor
mous expansion of the body of the
star, or a rush outward of lot nf
gaseous material. Most of the dark
lines showing these' displacements
disappeared wlthlii a very few days.

GREAT PIMMU'CTIOX OP
COAL A XI) COKE IX 1017,
The production of bituminous coal
In 1917 was G51, 790,563 net tons, an
Increase over 1916 of 49,270,881
tons, or nearly 10 per cent, according
to C. E. Lesher, of the United States
Geological Survey, Department of the
Interior.
Tho production of Pennsylvania
anthracite in 1917 established a now
high record of 99,611,811 net tons
(88,939,117 gross tons), exceeding
that In 1916 by 12 033,318 net tons
or nearly 14 per cent, and surpassing
the previous record of 91,524,922 net
tons in 1913. With the exception of
West Virginia all the large coal pro-
duclng states recorded Increases, the
only decreases having been In West
Virginia (0.02 per cent). Oregon
South Dakota and Georgia.
The production of coke In 1917
was G5, 606, 828 tons, an Increase
compared with 1916 of 1,073,243
tons, or 2.0 per cent. The outntit of
by-product coke increased from 19,
069,361 tons in 1916 to 22,439,280
tens In 1917 and represented 40.4
per cent of the total In 1917 against
33 per cent of the total In 1916. The
production of beehive coke decreased
from 35,464,224 tons In 1916 to 33,-
067, 548 tons in 1917. The number
of active by-product ovens Increased
from 6,007 In 1916 to 7,298 In 1917,
and of beehlvo ovens from 65,605 to
68,687, but the Irregularity of oper
atlon of beehive ovenn In 1917, due
principally to lack of railroad cars,
reuucea mo average production per
oven. Nearly all the decreaso In pro
duction of beehlvo coke was In
Pennsylvania, altho In the last month
decreases wero recorded In Georgia
and Kentucky. Tho production of
by-product coke decreased slightly

gested to his captors that as his
command was so distressingly com
plete It might as well preserve Its
organization, and with Its officers

The coup was accomplished by
Yankee quickness. The quickness
was mado possible by flawk'ss trans

These things make for bloodbsa vic
tory. And they cost money.
The amount called for in tho new
loan appeal is stupendous. It is not
case of "Have you bought a bond?"
but "How many have you bought?"
But money means superior equip
ment and bloodless triumphs. Fight-

Death and casualty rates have shrunk
considerably at the front. We have
seen 8 per cent go to 3 per cent.

The number of men engaged In
producing bituminous coal increased
from 561,102 In 1916 to 603,143 in
1917, and the number producaing an
thracite decreased from 159,869 in
1916 to 154,174 in 1917. However,
tlio number of men employed under
ground in the production of bitumi
nous coal Increased from 474,244 In
1916 tn 49S1K5 In 1H17 n nln nf
but 5 per cent compared with a gain I
of 20.8 per cent In surface employ'
ees.
In the anthracite regions the num
her of underground employees de
creased 5.8 per cent, but the surface
employees Increased 2.4 per cent. In
both branches of the coal-mlning In
dustry. there was a relatively larg;
gain In the number of men employed
on the surface, which is significant
when tt is realized that it Is tho un
derground worker who actually pro
duces the coal and who is the more
skilled workman.
The average number of days work
ed In both bituminous coal fields
and anthracite mines wan tho highest
recorded 243 In tho bituminous
field and 285 In the anthracite.
It Is Interesting to note that the
preliminary estimate of tho produc
tion of bituminous coal, published by
the Geological Survey In the first
week of January, 19 1 8 (544,00.0,000
net tons), was low, because It was
based on the number of carloads of
coal loaded at the mlne3, whereas
the average loading per car had in
creased nearly 4 per cent during tho
yeor, a fact not discovered until sev
eral months after the estimate was
made.
