"The mineral resource of Oregon

eiopment," said c. w. viapp, iormer
ly of Reno, Nev., yesterday.
."XVhv. nuthvcatern Oresron Is a
veritable Colorado, It Is full of rich !
minerals waiting to be. taken- out and
processed. The black sands of Oregon
streams are full of gold, platinum and
Iron. Thorium and antimony exist In.
Oregon in abundance, as does nickel.
"Last year the United States fur
nished only a fraction of the world's
nickel supply, yet Oregon and Wash
ington alone with proper development:
. could produce over half. j
"Most of the world's platinum sup ,
ply comes from the Ural mountains.
u to the war it has advanced In
price from f 40 to $60 an ounce. Ore
gon has- enough platinum to aupply
the world. '
"Thorium, used in coating gas man
tela, la found In southern Oregon. It .
brings )250 a ton on the market. The
common every day atones you use be
tween the streetcar tracks here In
Portland are full of iron which can b)
drawn out by the new processes at $25 r
, a ton. less than it costs to bring it
from Pittsburg.
"Antimony, used In the making of
type, has advanced 300 per cent In the
Jast 10 days. It can be produced for
6 cents a pound in Nevada and brings
32 cents on the New York market. J
"If Oregon would wake up and be-
(In developing these mineral resources '
tie would have a production of $100,- j
000,000 a year within five years." !

' ("Painless) Parker yesterday In his
fight against the state board of dental
.examiners when a 'suit in equity was1
filed In Parker's behalf by Attorney !
R. A. Sullivan asking that the board;
' be forced to produce all examination
papers and data connected with Parker i
nd to grant him a license to practice
: his profession. Parker first started
mandamus proceedings to secure the
same results but abandoned that
' method.
Parker alleges that he has twice
taken examinations for a license and '
that each time he performed the work '
nd answered .the questions required !
In a manner which he deems worthy of j
license. He charges the board with !
conspiring to keep him from securing
license because he violates the
ethics of the dental craft by advertis
