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.

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.

Farmer versus Profiteer.
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.
With the Increased facilities of
factories to care for produce of all
kinds. It is clearly seen that mar
kets are established that will care
for the great Increase of acreage.
