" ; Then came a long series of. years during which many mining claims were staked out throughout that region and development .work .kept up, and some ambitious efforts weremade in those hard years at treating the'ores -on. a commercial scale - But the ores and combinations were siichl that all these efforts were foredoomed to failure, because mining science had not 3'et advanced to the point where there could have followed success . . : ; J . ' - But in late. years there have been discoveries in this field that make the treatment of the ores" of that region not only practicable, but very desirable ; for the fluxes are such that the smelters want those ores and will encourage their shipment in every reasonable way. : r ' : ; , . ; ' . -. v r Also, during tle long, hard years .'of prospecting and holding tue claims, and attempting to do some commercial mintog, the question of transportation was one of the most difficult ones for tho district.' One company, the Black. Eagle, expended a fortune in. literally hewing and blasting out of the 'solid rock on the side of the mountain a wagon road in the canyon of the Little North Fork of the Santiam, to within a jeouple bt miles of the month of Gold creek. Since that time,' this road has been widened and improved; new bridges ' built, and the road ex tended to. the Lotz-Larsen mines at the. point -where Gold creek empties into the Little North ( larsen people nave expended a Dig sum or money in improving this road. If as good a county road as the miners - road could" be assured, from Elkhorn to Mehama and Lyons- the,matter of transportation bv triick would loads would .be possible throughout the year ; barring an occa sional day . of deep snow. The quick development of at the front door of Salem now agement and ample capital. Some profit may be made in send ing the richer ores to the smelter, and in reducing the ores that are less rich' and sending them, ing to the, railroad - but the big profits will come with rail -con-. nectibns, allowing the elimination of the high trucking costs Or with the building of a The vastness of the ore deposits of a smelter in; the Santiam cost of a railroad extension from a few miles, would be justified p ?5 : - i p ' ,:r:.

"Then will follow ' Ihe Tuirde veldbmenFT of a number of properties seven sight. ''' ':: ; This week beeins the shipment to the Tacoma smeltter in commercial quantities of ores from the Lotz-Larsen niines. These -shipments will no doubt be continued indefinitely indeed, they will grow in volume indefinitely. In the winter months, if the roads become unfit for trucking, no doubt ijeduc tion of ores 'will goon without intermission. . ! j f The Silver Kin cr mines are coming very near to the point of production in commercial quantities, as the reader wll see by .the article on the, Slogan pages. - v , There are larce timber resources in .the Santiam rAegion, and great water powers, which will help in bringing rail; trans portation. ;v- 'A' : " ' ' ''.

They are there m quantities well nign beyond imagination. They are needed in the world's miarkets. They will come out in ever increasing volume, pouring ) a con tinually swelling stream of golden treasure into the lap of Salem, and helping every other line of endeavor in this city aid this section. ' ; : - . LAW IS NEEDED The wheat farmer Is the, last to climb out of the hole. Hd was at the bottom of the pit. and has been unable to reach the top. He is de manding relief. ' Every avenue has failed him. The ; law of supply and demand Is crushing him. Eco nomic laws are not helping him out. .He is simply a, victim being crushed between the upper and nether mill stones. The farmer is seeking nothing unreasonable. He Is simply asking that the machin ery of the government be operated for his temporary relief from in tolerable conditions. 5 J That relief must come and come quickly to stay the inevitable fail ure and ruin with u which he Is threatened. '-.. ' : t! , That the merchant, the banker and all other interests in the grain raisins districts, covering a large part of the .United .States, are equally. Involved, with business so interwoven that the one can not fall without affecting others. ; , There are many suggestions in the way of remedy for present con ditions that seem quite impracti cable. An emergency .exists de manding early relief. To diversify means a large initial expense to equip the farm with hig-tight fences, sheds, stock barns; water systems, etc. The farmer, pros trated financially as he is, can not do this. The machinery of government, through 'the' reserve bank system and 'otherwise, in 1920 was util ized to deflate .from fancy, war prices. ftC- came with disastrous results to the wheat raiser, who fell a' helpless victim, due to his lack of organization in the midst of a thoroughly organized coun try, .of, protected industries about him! - i - . - , f Is it not. fair, under these cir cumstances, for the ; federal gov ernment to exercise its paternalism in. a drastic way, to restore the pre war equilibrium .. . and save Hhe grain raiser, together with the vast interests involved with him over half the country's area from the present hopeless situation? The McNary-Haugen , billac cepted by the farmer as the best remedial ; legislation proposed, is in no sense a gift by the government- to the wheat producer. Its OREGON Starting Today or eight or more are uofw in .: ; u real purpose is to permit the far mer himself, through excisej duties to make up the losses on the one fifth exported, so that the milljons of American consumer may pay a slight added- percentage, which they are glad to do, on tbe four fifths left over for home consump tion, thereby establishing rela tive price adjustment between wheat and other major cocmmodl ties that can not be reached, by economic law, by cooperation, or otherwise than by federal . enact ment .' ." ' .T1 :" v - PURE GRAFT Millions of dollars have; been spent on the Missouri I river," and every dollar has been wasted." J The city of Kansas City raised a bi fund and it' was. wasted. bt we need not go that far. We cto not know how much money was wast ed In the Willamette river, 't (But every dollar dumped in was wast ed, yet there were bigger appropri ations for improving the Colombia river. Certainly in this time oQ high taxation there must be an! end to this graft - to take the money from the people, who are hard put; to pay their taxes. As Senator Pittman of Nevada told the sen ate, and the country the other day. "We have spent more than $lf 000,000 on the Mississippi, river alone, and yet there are no boats on the Mississippi river except some barges the-' government is tryr ing to: run-,. ..-'i'V' fli 7 Congress should pursue one of two courses of action protect the boats', from destructive railroad competition if more; "money Is to be spent on rivers and harbors! or quit wasting federal funds on riv ers and harbors, if the railroads are to be .permitted. t6'"destrdy water competition. . " HANDING OUT INDICTMENTS - The indictment of nine men will have a wholesome effect upon pub-i He life in Portland. In all these big cities a small clique is scrap ping over the public trough, j In most cities this la accepted as' a necessary evil, but Portland does not see things that way. i . The. public service : needs this shakeup every once ina' whije. Men become -careless, reckless and dare-devils. They believe theylcan 1,1 ' ALICE CALHOUN, LIBERTY I-' ' . . - mrimr j Laaj-.!,..n, ; THE MAN FROM BRODNEY'S A THRILLING STORY-OF LOVE AND ADVENTURE COMEDY; waTnt to and reach cover with their shells. The public wants honest; service and tne"publ!c applauds every effort tq improve the public service. De relicts in office or those who con sort and connive with derelicts should be punished. " ELIMINATE LODGE . Henry Cabot Lodge has ruined a distinguished career by turning traitor at the last minute. It was hinted - all along that Lodge ' was not big' enough to I see Calvin Coolidge go in ahead of him. He is proving now his jealousy and is trying to discredit Coolidge. It is time to eliminate Lodge, lie came off his pedestal and Is mingling . with the common herd of traitors and secret enemies. Recognition of this man in the Clevenand convention should be resented by every red-blooded and loyal American. . J INCONSISTENT There has been a great howl go ing up about government in busi ness. And government in busi ness has not been a business suc cess, but the very men who nave been clamoring most against it are voting for the government to take charge of Muscle Shoals rather than Henry Ford. They do not be lieve a -word they say and are voting contrary to their intelli gence. " The prejudice Is such that they will let the country continue to suffer rather than give that relief which Is to follow by the operation of the Muscle Shoals in dustry by Henry Ford, it is a shame. i': r ' ' ROME AND THE FILLING . STATIONS It was said that Rome fell be cause of its predilection fo gran deur. Every year had to see more magnificence. Every generation had to put the' previous bne ' to shame. Rome fell. 1 i We wonder if such a fate Is not In store, for the filling stations They started simple little! struc tures, modest and almost blushing. Then started the race for gran deur, each one is finer than the one that has gone before. The query is if these filling stations fall, to get a lesson from. Rome will they go just as Rome ment? CHURCH UNION The anion of the two branches of the Methodist church has start ed something. The Presbyterian churches are seriously considering reuniting. They have -had two branches without any justification. The' Baptist ; churches 'are 'trying to reunite. They will be 'getting1 together next. This is a i'day of church union, and church strength. THANK YOU FOR COMING Salem is mighty glad that "Pussyfoot" ; Johnson came here. He made a great address. His inspiring personality, was healthy and hopeful,' and he gave; a mes sage in a straightforward, , digni fied manner! It cannot help pro- ducing "good for Salem. r : NOW SHOWING !

Some . are supposedly frank and say they wanted the money, and others have various reasons. But through long observation we have come to tbe conclusion that the average person starts writing through the impulse of ambition. Nothing else counts at first. . FOOLISH TALK The advocates of the return of the old convention system,- and we are looking' with one eye toward Portland and the. other toward Corvallis, contend that the prim ary makes smaller men in offices. It seems to us we would be asham ed to say that a .ward heeler and a county boss could select better men for office than the clean, patriotic average voter. The fight to return the old conditions would be ridiculous were it not so mon strous. DUG HIS OWN PIT You have heard about : a man digging his grave with his teeth. You had a similar , illustration in politics a couple of weeks ago. B. J. Jones of Newport announced himself; as , a candidate, for. dele gate; He saw & chance to adver tise a good project to advantage the Roosevelt high-way. It-was good advertisement, but it caused his defeat. Word went along, the Pacific highway to clip Jones wings, and they were clipped. A man who is not wanted for the district slipped in . on.
