Baker. Or.. Jan. 5. The metal produc
tion for Baker county during 1916 to
taled a little In excess of $3,000,000, ac
cording: to the report of Charles O. Yale,
director of the federal bureau of mines,
and the "1917 production will come close
, to that flKure, although It probably will
(alt a little short. It is impossible to
estimate me total accurately ai mis
- tlmn a thn rorrwirat ions in thr countv
engaged in mining have not yet made
their reports ' and much of the bullion
which used to be handled through Baker
and gave a basts of estimate, is now
shipped directly to the mints. Possibly
In the final count the total will equal
the 1916 production, but mining men be
lieve tbere will be a slight decrease.
The. reason for a decrease, if there is
, one, is because the Ben Harrison mine
as well as the two big Cornucopia prop
erties were closed for several months
while new reduction plants and other
new eouinment was Deintr instance, un
the ether hand the Irondyke has shipped
: more ore than ever before in its history
; and during the year developed a won
; derful body of jcopper, which bids fair to
' become, under development, one of the
; largest In the Country.
' Smaller properties are producing

during 1917 that were idle a year ago.
Taking the Baker district as a whole,
which includes Grant county proper
ties, the total production for the year
will without doubt show a big gain over
1918. The principal cause for this Is the
Immense shipments of chrome ore made
during the year from Grant county de
posits, some being hauled by auto truck
as. far as 30 miles to Prairie City ror
shipment. I'sed in the process of tem
pering metal, chrome of the first qual-
Ity is now bringing $37.50 per ton on the
cars and from that on down to $12.
Previous to the war the price was in
sufficient to pay for mining, but for the
paat 12 months or more, the chrome in-
: d us try Has. brougnt a large revenue to
owners of deposits and many new bod
ies have been opened by prospectors,
who for some months were busy as bees
all over the county. There are some
chrome deposits In Baker county, but
the best grade and by far the larger
: amount is .shipped from Grant county.
The coming year is full of promise in
a mining way for Baker county, the de
velopment of several big prop&jties
being under promotion. One big 'deal
in the Sumpter country, the details of
which cannot be mentioned at this time,
but will be completed within a few days
or weeks at the. outside, will be, if con
summated,, the most important mining
transaction in the country since the sale
of the Rainbow to the U. S. Smelting
St Refining company. Numerous other
properties are equipping with reduction
plants and will be in active operation
soon. The advent of new capital and
successful mining men into the district
is aleo stimulating interest. Among the
most prominent to take hold of local
properties the past year are Kdward H.,
Dewey of Nampa, Idaho, and associates,
who have purchased the Ben Harrison
and are putting in equipment of the very
best and most . modern. With unlimited
capital, they have their eyes on other
nearby properties which are under op
tion and likely .to be added to their
holdings. D. C. Eccles of Ogden, son
of the late David Eccles, the Salt Lake
millionaire, president of the Oregon
Lumber company, is also going into the
mining game and has acquired control
of the Bi-Metallc mine in the Greenhorn
section, which is undergoing develop
ment and is to have new machinery and
mill.
Others are interesting themselves and
new producers especially in the Susan
ville section are bound to come to the
front. This will be made possible by
the extension of the Sumpter Valley rail
way from Austin to Susanville, afford
ing transportation long denied these
mines, which have fine shipping ore but
unprofitable by necessity of the long
haul heretofore necessary by team or
truck to the railroad. The road has been
completed etght miles from Austin to
Caribou on the middle fork of the John
Day river and wUT.be finished to Susan
ville in the spring, tapping the rich tim
ber belt there recently acquired by the
Oregon Lumber company, as well as giv
ing the .mines an outlet.
OIL DEVELOPMENT IN
DOUGLAS
COUNTY
IS"
TO BEGIN AT CAMAS
Standard Outfit on Way to Dis
trict That Is Expected to
Yield Commercially.
, Oil well development In Douglas
coemty now seems about to begin, says
the Roseburg Review, A big, standard
well drilling plant was unloaded here
and Immediately started to Camas Val
ley to be put into operation.
It is a complete, steam power outfit,
and required four six horse teams to
transport it from here to Camas Valley.
D. C. Jones of Camas was in charge of
the machinery, but who is backing the
movement was not given out. Mr. Jones
has leased lands in addition to his own
farm orr which Uo conduct operations.
They are prepared to drill to a depth of
3000 feet in case oil is not reached
sooner.
Mr. Jones stated that they expect to
thoroughly test that district for oil in
paying quantities and are ready to
spend $10,000 to $100,000 in development
work.
It is believed that if oil is found in
paying quantities in Camas valley that
the Flournoy district will also yield a
plentiful supply of oil, and wUl also be ;
fully tested the coming vear. !
Gresham Factory Is
Eapidly Expanding
The Beaver Manufacturing company,
of Gresham. is one" of the Oregon con
cerns which is proving its worth and
necessity for such a plant. Originally
Intending to pulld automobiles and
trucks, the concern has branched out
Into other lines, among its products be
ing the splendid drag Baw handled by
the Portland Machinery company, 62
First street, a device which cuts 40
cords of cordwood a day. It Is turning
out these machines at the rate of nearly
a dozen a day, and they are being sold
as fast as manufactured. The plant
is now equipped with a fine foundry, and
its wood working department has had
its equipment more than doubled In the.
last three months. Manager Coombs
expects to have his buildings cover half
an acre before the close of the, present
Paper Company Builds Road
The Crown-Willamette Pulp St Paper
company is constructing a raUroad
about five miles in length to tap the
tiact or spruce timber which the com
pany recently purchased from M. J
Kinney In the Green mountain district.
The road will connect with McGregor
Malone road and the loirs will be
brought to tidewater over the latter
line.
Clark Works Hard
For Manufacturers
A. G. Clark of the Home IndustryS
league oi me Chamber or Commerce is
one of the most dUigent workers of the
city. He is "on the job" about 18 hours
a day, and is so versatile that he ap
parently leaves no stone unturned to
further the interests of the manufac
turing Industries of Portland. And he
does not discriminate. Even those
which decline to contribute to the ex
penses of the league are not over
looked. For example, one of the big
concerns of the city an institution
which could easily treble Its business
by the expenditure of a little money for
publicity gave feeble support to the
league for two or three months and then
crawled back Into its shell and locked
Its pocketbook. It produces an article
largely used by women, and notwith
standing its action Mr. Clark, In his
frequent addresses before women's
clubs, never ceases to urge the ladies
to buy the products of this factory, and
has taken steps, within the last few
days, looking to the closing of this
market to eastern manufacturers of
the same class of merchandise. There
Is nothing "little" about Mr. Clark.
Camp for Spruce Rivers
The Western Cooperage company is
constructing a camp for housing S00
soldiers at its spruce tract In the Klas
kanlne river district. It will employ that
many troops in living airplane ma

St. Paul and the Northwest looks to
the coming summer with hope that it
will see a pronounced revival o river

forces of the government, made impera
tive because of the war, gave the opporT

Tanners Asking for
Shark Skin Supply
The United States bureau of fisheries
is in receipt of inquiries from tanners
as to where they can obtain supplies of
shark skins tor tanning into leather,
This matter has been brought to the at
tention of fishermen and others on the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts and of various
persons in Southeast Alaska and along
the Pacific coast states, to the end that
supplies of these skins be provided.
Washington, Jan. 5. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
Implications that the federal farm
loan system is near a "breakdown," be
cause it has sought temporary aid from
the government to carry the loans al
ready approved, are resented by friends
of the system as being entirely outside
the facts.
War conditions have thrown the bond
market out of joint, and federal farm
loan bonds, which were considered a
satisfactory investment one year ago,
are no longer readily salable. The sec
ond Liberty loan gathered In most' of
the loose change of people who buy
bonds and farm loan bonds took a back
seat. This remains true, although the
rate of interest to the borrower has
been advanced from 5 to per cent.
Unless the bonds find a market, loans
already promised cannot be made and
further loans extended. In this predic
ament, the farm loan board placed be
fore congress an appeal for aid. and
the senate has already passed a bill
which authorises the secretary of the
treasury to purchase $100,000,000 of
farm loan bonds within the present
fiscal year.
On November 30, at about the time
the sale of farm loan bonds stopped,
the 12 farm loan banks had approved
loans .pending in the sum of $70,000,000,
besides $65,000,000 represented in appli
cations not yet approved. It was felt
that a failure to complete promptly the
leans on the $70,000,000 already ap
proved, at the least, would amount to
bad faith, as farmers in many in
stances have made arrangements based
upon getting the money from this
source.
The bill failed of passage In the house
of representatives before the holiday
recess because of amendments which
were adopted In the senate on the after
noon congress adjourned, making it Im
possible to have the changes explained
and worked out In time to secure action
by the house.
As reported by the committees of both
houses, the relief bill authorised the
purchase of $100,000,000 of farm loan
bonds the present year, and $100,000,000
the next fiscal year. Senator Hollls,
In charge of the measure in the senate,
explained that the board does not ap
prehend it will need any such sum. He
said it was believed a market would be
found for the bonds outside of the fed
eral treasury if bond buyers know that
the government is in position to buy if
others do not.
Grayfish Canning Is
Started on Coast
Two canneries on the Pacific Coast
have begun packing grayfish in cans
under the direction of the United States
bureau of fisheries. The cans will bear
this label:
"Orayflsh, a new food fish packed
at the especial request of the United
States bureau of fisheries and prepared
under methods approved by 1U"
In consideration of the right to use
tills label the packers are putting up
an article which can be retailed at
two cans for 25 cents. The grayfish
is greatly esteemed in Europe, but
heretofore ias been little used in this
country.

Proposed to Put Approximately
500 Acres in Cultivation
During Current Year.
Dr. C. C McNabb Guards Vat.

Within Enclosure. C
The scheme for flax growing In Fife,
Scotland, Is now taking definite shape
A recently published report of the county
food production committee Indicates the
lines on which it Is proposed to carry out
the experiment. According to this re
port the factors necessary to success
are: (1) The obtaining of the assistance
of cooperation of farmers and others
who either have a knowledge of flax
growing or are likely to become inter
ested in the movement; (2) the making
available of suitable land for flax grow
ing; and (3) the obtaining of suitable
buildings and water supply for scutching
and retting.
It is proposed to put approximately
500 acres under flax In Fife in 1918. This
means, on an average, 125 acres In each
district committee area. The most suit
able soils for flax growing appear to
be loam and light loam, and the crop is
thought to do best when tt follows old
lea or stubble. It Is proposed to supply
growers with seed and to take the crop
off the farmers' hands after harvesting.
Tests made in England of radium as
sn aid to plant growth have shown that
It Is most effective when used in the
proportion of one seven hundredth of
a gram to a ton of soil.
Catch of Fish in
November Valuable
The fishing fleet landing fishery prod
ucts at Seattle, Wash., during November,
1917, landed at that port 27 trips aggre
gating 451,473 pounds of fish, having a
value to the fishermen of $69,265. These
products included halibut, 343.403 pounds,
valued at $62,910; sableftsh, 96,880
pounds valued at $6095 ; "lingcod," 90
pounds, valued at $2 : and red rockflsh,
11,100 pounds valued at $248. In addi
tion to this catch, collecting vessels
landed 1,068,001 pounds of salmon, smelt,
and other speclas valued at $73,514.
Pendleton has a new industry of
which few people, are aware, but which .
is now pretty well established, say
the East Oregon lan. Dr. McNabb has'
started a fox farm In the eastern
end of the city for the purpoee of
raising foxes on a commercial basis..
He has four pair of silver gray
foxes and one female red fox-
nucleus for developing a profitable fur
bearing business. ' ,
- Dr. McNabb has 10 lots just above .
St. Anthony's hospital fenced " with . '
heavy wire and equipped with kennels
end all facilities for raining the anl
mala Sliver foxes cost from $1000 t
$5000 a pair, and their fur sellspropor
tlonmtely high. Dr. MoNabb sfchased :'
his foxes from a Canadian fox farm. ' .
The females whelp once a year and .
the litters range from one to eight. ,:
Dr. McNabb's females are all young
but 'uU grown, and he expects them to
produce him about a dosea pups next J
spring. . i
It has been Dr. McNabb's ambition
to start a fox farm, for the paat 10
years, but has been handicapped by
iack of capital. ,.--
So valueable are the animals that .
Dr. McNabb Is taking no chances on
losing them by theft. He has built a.
tent house next to his fox" pens and, ;
sleeps there every night with an auto :
matlo by his side. He haa an alarm
system which makes it Impossible foe -anyone
to enter the pen without waking
him. and a switch by his bedside wlil
flood the pens with light in a minute
What Has Made the Ig
Big Factories Big
The production of reputable product ,
is essential to the growth of manufac
turlng establishments. Bnt a man may
coin gold dollars to sell for 60 cent ;
and he'll do a mightly small business ;
if his lips are his only organ of pub :
licity. Those residing within a little
circle surrounding his plant will know
he is In the world, but others a -doselt
miles distant will be ignorant of . his
existence.
To make a small factory big It is nec
essary, as stated, to produce an article
of merit, and then to publish the ' fact
to the world. " ,
Therei must be life, energy and ability.,
to peer Into the future at the helm. - Thi
timorous sloth Is not possessed- of these
qualifications. The small but worthy
factory which remains small, has a small
calibred pilot at the wheel. He doesn't
know how to steer his craft. . t

For many years I. Lesser was the
owner of a larsre jewelry store on
Washington street, opposite the Perkins
hotel. When the new building on that
corner was erected, Mr. Lesser consid
ered the rentals too high and. being well
to do financially, concluded to retire
from active business and devote the
balance of his days to enjoying the
comforts his foresight and business acu
men had made possible.
But Mr. Lesser Is not a member of the
Down and Out or Left Over association.
He Is continually up and doing, and his
Interest m the welfare of Portland
never has been permitted to lag.
Mr. Lesser is a reader, and on his li
brary table may be found the scientific
geographical and others of the leading
magazines. He has noted with interest
the efforts of The Journal in behalf of
local industries, and its appeals to the
people to supply their household and bod
ily wants, so far as possible, with the
products of Portland and Oregon fac
tories. Proposal Is Feasible
Giving serious consideration to the
question of enlargement of the output
of local manufacturing concerns, Mr.
Lesser, as do all others who have given
the matter attention, hs arrived at the
conclusion that Portland and Oregon
made goods are not sold to home con
sumers for the reason that their quality
and prices have not been made known
by the manufacturers. As a remedy for
his condition, Mr. Lesser proposes that
books, cataloging the varieties and
names of local products, be supplied
every housewife In the city, and con
tinues :
"Let them be similar to those of the
trading stamp companies. Let the books
be provided at the expense of the busi
ness men contributing to a fund for
that purpose. Though not in business
myself, and it would be impossible for
me directly to profit by the scheme, I am
yet willing to contribute ?200 or J300 a
year to such a fund. Catalogue every
article or thing manufactured here In
alphabetical order, paste $10 worth of
stamps In the book as a starter, and
then have one with an explanatory let
ter delivered to every Portland house
wife. Let the merchant discount prices
half, three quarters or a cent, according
to the article sold, and the manufacturer
a like sum, the definite amount to be
decided on by a competent committee
from the stores and factories, and then
have an additional discount provided for
by a public subscription fund. You
would be surprised how easy It would
be to raise money for this purpose. Let
the business be conducted on an immac
ulately upright and honorable basis, and
believe me, the women of Portland would
soon become acquainted with the names,
value apd prices of the products of our
home manufacturing plants.
Only for Home Factories
"These stamps woul'd not, of course.
be given for purchases other than of the
products of our factories In actual op
eration here. They would not assist the
sale of Jerry's lard or Thompson's hair
oil, made in Chicago, but on the other
hand would not be long In doubling dis
posal of Portland-made breakfast foods,
macaroni, the superior outputs of our
local cracker factories and confection
aries, noodles, soaps, coffees, teas,
women's apparel, men's garments, bak
ing powders, peppers, rice, shoes, stock-

lngs, socks, knitted underwear and
sweaters, millinery, soft drinks, jew
elery, hats, caps and hundreds of other
things manufactured almost in our front
yards yet to which 96 per cent of our
people have never been Introduced and
of whose existence they have no knowl
edge. "It Is not the fault of Portland buyers,
especially Portland housewives, that
local factory products are not In greater
demand. Kastern made merchandise has
been so lavishly advertised in newspa
pers of the country that it has become
familiar to everybody, almost. Women
know the names pf that which they need,
and- what to call for when they enter a
store, but are entirely unacquainted with
the merchandise provided by Portland
factories. Provide them with a classi
fied and alphabetical list of things our
industries produce, so that If Mrs, Jones
wants a broom she will turn to B. to H
for a hat or hose, to O for gloves or S
for skirt, then add the trading stamp
and the sale of home made goods will
be solved."
City Seeds Pabllelty
Many other splendid Ideas were ad
vanced by Mr, Lesser, of which the fore
going gives an Idea, and If the manu
facturers and merchants will only get
together on som'e such basis each will
doubtless be greatly profited from a dol-
lars- and-cents business standpoint.
Mr. Lesser says the name of a Wash
ington state city Is continually before
him In the magazines which reach his
home, but never a mention of Portland.
"I am sometimes heartsick," he says,
"when I find this repeated over and
over. We all know that Portland is the
most desirable home town in the world.
but we ought not to be content with
this. It ought to be the best known
town, also and the liveliest manufactur
ing and trading city on the Pacific
coast."
Is there a merchant or manufacturer
who will start the ball a-rolling in the
direction Indicated by Mr. Lesser?
No Increase in
Rates for Grazing
In announcing that grasing fees for
the use of national forest lands will not
be further Increased "for the present."
Secretary Houston of the department" of J
agriculture has Informed the stockmen
that he cannot say whether this will
hold good to the end of the war. Future
economic developments will decide.
Early last year the department an
nounced a new scale of charges for the
use of forest lands, under which a pro
gressive Increase was to be made. Part
of this program has gone Into effect. The
new order has the effect of suspending
further changes, halting the Increases at
the point they nave iow reached.
This Is done, the secretary says, to
afford encouragement to the growers of
livestock In overcoming difficulties in the
production of beef, mutton, wool and
hides. The department holds the be
lief that the charges are still below the
level of the real value of the forage.
Issuance of five and 10 year permits
which would not be subject to reduction
In acreage Is held to be Inadvisable at
this time, and the matter will be held in
abeyance. Such permits, the secretary
says, would Interfere with readjust
ments which it may be necessary to
make m allotments to secure maximum
use.
