The chart above shows price

coal and wages during the past
ten years. In each case 100 is used

Government departments which
compiled these statistics.'
Translated into "eggs and calico -hr-gusge,
this chart shows that a ton of
coal would buy nearly twice as much
cement in 1922 as in 1913. A day's wages '
also would buy-'more ' cement in 1922
than in 1913. -
This means that even though coal and
wages make up more than half its manu-"

So, considering these increased costs

mining In ' Marion
a fixed fact. Actual
production is going on in the
LoU-Larsen Mining company
properties on the Little North
Fork of the Santlam river near
the point where Gold creek emp
ties, Into that stream. ? Most old
Salem residents will recall that
there are a number of good min
ing properties on Gold creek, as
well as further north and -west
from the Lotx-Larsen properties,
and no doubt all of these mines
will be producing In due courseof
time.'-' ''j-' ' ; '"":",:
But the Lotz-Larsen Mining
company la now: actually Bhippiag
to the Tacoma smelter, i The last
car of ore from this mine ran at
the smelter 10.16 per cent copper
and 3.6 per cent silver. - That Is
considered good; making a real
shipping proposition. This mine
is 42 miles in a direct line from
Salem, but still in Marlon county
being about 7 miles as the crow
fliea from the summit of the Cas
cades, which Is the line between
Marion and Jefferson , counties.
. H. II. Lots and A. C. Larsen,
the men who have been giving
every ..ounce of - thelr'energles to
the development of this property,
were in Salem yesterday, on their
way to the mine; Mr. Lota having
Just returned from a visit to the
smeUerr..- 'z'tl-Ti.T: r.-.'f-;
They report nine men steadyily
at. work now; and regular ship
ments pf ore by trnck to the rail
road at Gates, some 17. miles
away.; I They report the road in
fair condition, and all the bridges
strengthened, and one new bridge
built at their own expense, with
out a cent of help from " the
county, or from any other source.
And the new mill for treating
the ores Is ready to run, and the
water power is about ready to be
switched on so- that mining on a
larger scale will soon be under
taken, and carried on the coming
winter, v . - ;"- ' "'
The profitable working of this
mine will mean increased wealth
for Marion : county. When' the
production of this county , covers
not only what we raise in the soil
but what we can dig from under
It, then this county can certainly
be said to have arrived.

ST ST. PAUL WELL
Attempt to Remove . Drilling
Machinery Leacfc to
j Difficulties ,
When George E. Scott, well
driller, and a crew of men at
tempted to remove ! drilling ma
chinery from the Willaraete Val
ley Gas & Oil company's well, , two
miles south of St. Paul, Or., on
the Salem hfghway,Sunday, they
ran into a peck of trouble., r
After gazing down the muzzles
of a shotgun and a rifle in the
hands of two other drillers who
hold Hens against the equipment
in lieu of wages, the party de
cided that discretion made up the
greater part of valor and retreat
ed. ' ' "
. The trouble, which reached a
climax Sunday at sunrise, started
July 26, when drilling operations
were stopped at the well, with 97
days' . wages owing 4he driller and
his assistant. When the money
was not forthcoming, . th.
workmen -had . E. L. McKenzie,
their atorney, file laborers' liens
against ; the equipment.! Then
they waited developments. ' .
" Mr. Scott, 'who holds the equip
ment was . purchased from him,
and 'tiat. he never has received
payment, visited the property Sat
urday, and dismantled some of the
machines. , The drtllerr feared
that he would remove them from
the property, and rushed word to
McKenzie, who. with , Edgar 1 Pay -ton,
motored out to the well .Sat
urday night prepared .for eventu
alities. . !,.. , ; ' .. : . ,
Early Sunday Scott and a man
who says he Is buying the ma
chinery, took' three motor cars,
three ; motor, trucks - and three
trailers" and went to the " scene,
only to find the road to the der
rick blocked and - the property
guarded. .
-Scott, after being refused ad
mittance, declared he would swear
out warrants against the men and
when that didn't deter them, he
left in one of the motor cars. It
was apparent, McKenzie said yes
terday on his return to Portland,
that Scott- didn't receive much en
couragement from lawyers . . or
sheriff, for when he got. back to
the scene he orcered his, fleet of
trucks and workmen to leave the
property. ' .

lower to 5 cents gain. -
Predisposed to be bearish to
day because backed by experience
in, former years; wheat graders
showed . from the outset a ten
dency to lean to the bear side of
the market. The , fact , that the
government crop ' report showed a
larger yield of domestic spring
wheat than had , recently "- been
looked for, counted, as an addi

PORTItAITS, landscapesindoor

are Included among the 30 pic
tures' on exhibit at the. Gunnell &
Robb studio this week. ' A letter
from the secretary. of the organi
sation of northwest photographers
explains that this exhibit contains
the very choicest work done by
the western photographers.
A fine discrimination In the
play of lights . on the weather
beaten and seamed face of the old
fisherman, and the absence of re
touch in the study of the long
haired, sullen-eyed beggar, results
in the haunting effect of a Rem
brandt. Of unusual composition
is the girl silhouette on the ex
treme lower left - of a-print, bal
anced by two overhanging vines
in the upper right background.
The mood . of a sun-patterned
floor space is caught in one in
terior. , Had "not an artist intro
duced an ' open " window In the
background, one might at .first
glance' think his study of a mo
ther was Whistler's own the
fiame pose, the 'same work-worn
hands. . . The landscapes . are re
markable -for their balance of
composition , and1 the . absence of
harsh lights. There is a commer
cial print of an interior suggestive,
of a Wallace Nutting In Its min
uteness of detail.
This Is the? first of the yearly
'traveling exhibits"" Instituted at
tbe recent convention of north
west photographers at Victoria, B.

mens "of western photographic art
