Newspaper Page Text2 THE OREGON STATESMAN: SUNDAY, MARCH 7, 1020. - i' . 1 3 i SANTIATil MINE DISTRICT YILL BE ORGANIZED Preliminary Steps Taken in Enthusiastic Meeting at Court Honse COURT IS INTERVIEWED Co-Operation Is Promised in Effort to Secure Proper Transportation At a meeting held at the Clarion county court home beginning at iu o'clock yesterday, attended by a rep resentative number of the men in terested In that section, preliminary steps were taken for the reorganiza tion of the Santiam mining district. sometimes called the tester and Elk- horn district. The meeting waa called to order with II. II. Lots, acting as chairman, when J. J. Langmack was elected chairman and A. C. Larsen, secre tary. ; Nearly, all mines had representa tives present. Mr. Lots laid before the meeting the purpose of the call. namely, reorganization of the dis trict looking to the building of roads and the construction of bridges, making it possible to open up the eastern part of Marion county and general cooperation for the, good of all concerned. William La Fore, Carle Anderson and others cave interesting talks. CVm ml loners Are Convinced The county commissioners seemed more than willing to meet the min ing men half way. A committee of three was appoint ed to go into the road question arfB everything pertaining to the organ izing of the district. The chairman appointed William LaFore, W. 1, Staley and Judge William Risley to act as that committee. The suggestion was made by Mr. Lot that no one knows what, the Lester mining district is -and suggested' that it would be a good idea to change the name to the Santiam mining district of Mar ion county. On the suggestion of Otto Hanson, members of the county court, including Judge W. M. Bushey were called In and Judge Bushey ex plained himself In regard to aid on the road, outlining the necessary red tape that would have to be gons through to secure funds. Financial Aid Offered E. R. Anderson sugbested that he was willing to make some advances. 14000 or $5000, towards putting the road in shape, providing he would be reimbursed later. This matter Is to be taken up later. However, the mining men succeed ed in getting the county commission ers to promise to make Immediate Investigation of the roads and bridg es from Mehama leading up to the mines, with further understand ing that the bridges were to be put in shape at once. All the way through the meeting worked in harmony and no doubt will result in a good deal of good for the district, when the organiza tion can be fully effected and all the people of this section come to fully understand the great importance of getting all the mines in that district on a basis of actual shippers of or?. lair Contract Available H. H. Lotz. of the Lotz-Larsen Mining company said yesterday that his company can get a basic contract with the Tacoma smelter for the treatment of ores just as soon as 400 tons, a month can be delivered and as much more as possible the more the better. Even that much would mean a re turn of at least $6000 a month, to be expended in Marion county, moat of it in Salem. The Lotz-Larsen people have already shipped two cars of ore to the smelter, with all the difficulties of transportation. The first car, mine run, returned .44 per cent copper, three ounV of silver and 16-100 ounce of gold per ton. The second car ran 10 per cent copper, three and slx-tenth3 ounces of silver and 16-100 ounce of gold per ton. The first car of ore was carried out to the road, a mile or so on pack horses.

EDITORIALS OF THE PEOPLE i hired man does not. but he does. He I is in debt and pays a higher interest than any cigarette dealer in the city; he takes the price offered him for his goods and he pays what is asked of him for his merchandise. He lives without these little pleasures, which make a little sunshine in ones life, and that is why It Is hard for him to get assistance in his work to pro duce food and raw material for the nation to feed, work and traffic on. But look out. my city friends, there is a limit. You know about the last straw. A farmer cannot pay men from 50 cents to $1 an hour for work. In your own Salem Journal. The Fruitgrower, there was an Item of a jar of canned pears of 0 cents. pre war price 30 cents: of which so cents the producer of the pears re ceived 10 cents and the 50 cents went for canning, wholesale and mid dlemen's profits. There are things right here in Salem which work out the same way. But the farmer will have to curtail production whether he wants to or not. He cannot com pete in the labor market with the grafters and the profiteers Of his own grown products, and then you will be up against It. Get down and think and you very likely will awake to the real csuse of profiteering. A Retired Farmer (The Statesman ta pleased to orlnt communications upon topics of asaeraJ interest at any time.

Editor Statesman: In the synopsis of the action and palaver of the Commercial Club meeting held Friday. February 20, we find ideas exposed that would re mind one of a kindergarten. To charge the farmer -for the high cost of living, fool legislation entailing should startle a kindergarten school It Is stated that business men are needed for legislation In place of lawyers, politicians and farmers. In this triangle the only business man found is the farmer. Let me whisper you a secret in your ears: the hayseed is the most necessary business man and he runs the greatest business in all the world. Mr. Retail Merchant, will you take time enough to think be tween meditating whether to put on just only 50 per cent In place of 200 per cent on all your articles, that If it were not for the farmer you would not be in business and that the same farmer after he deducts from bis grosa Income the actual expense like you do he would either have no profit left, or it would net a return of from 2 to 5 per cent in the most favorable circumstances; 3 per cent Is the av erage the world over. You say he pays no taxes. When his farm is as sessed as now for $100 per acre at 30 to 35 mills, and there are from 40 to 400 acres in that farm, one would think he also pays some taxes andt his Investment is fully as great as a candy, cigar or peanut or other shop, considered big o rainy business who should make the laws of the country. I know certain hayseed state senator within 100 miles of Spokane who has the reputation of having been instrumental in having real good laws put upon the statute books, who enjoys the respect and esteem of everybody and who runs a greater business than almost any body else in the county. Your es teemed secretary knows the senator O. K. I do ot see In whst oslrnUr part our Marion county hays eel dele gation made such a lamentable taii-ure. For honesty of purpose I do think they mill compare very favorably with the rest of them. But let me tell you a secret: the farmer has been the beast of burden for lo these centuries; he really pays all the bills of whatever character. even for the paving of your streets. (Get down to think, if it does not hurt too much). He works ail the way from 10 to 18 hours a day. The EIGHT CARLOADS OF POWDER SOLD Thousands of Pounds of Ex plosives Used for Develop ment in Valley The Watt Shlpp Powder company last month sold eight carloads of DuPont explosives in the Willamet te valley. This Is the record sale of DuPont explosives for this company In the 14 years it has been in the powder business. Two hundred thousand pounds of powder In one month is an enormous amount or explosives. This demand is attributed to three types of work now all in full momentum road building, the logging Industry and last but by no means the least, land clearing by the progressive farmers who are clearing off land prepara tory to setting out berries, orchards cpd hops, recognizing that present land values are at the zero point and a rapid climb will commence before the close of 1920.
