CREEK
That the southern part of Ore
gon offered great opportunities In
mining was the assertion of J. M
Copleii, a mining engineer who re
turned yesterday to Salem after an
ahHeiice of three months spent on
Fleoaant creek, about 15 miles
north of Rogue river city with
specimens of ore containing large
quantities of gold and platinum
Old prospector, it is Bald, who
used to take dirt from the bottom
of the l'leasant creek used to often
.Hid p luces of blue talc which
li. .mied a high per cent of gold
uui they were never able to find
the source of the tale. Mr. Coplen
uolieved that tie could stake
mine which would be a paying
liniposition and interested three
local men to the extent that they
nnanced him with a small amount
u.ni Mr. Coplen found a vein
, viiicu appeared to conain a arge
luantity of gold and claims were
mod by him In the name of the
Big i Mining company. All pre
Uminary work to the opening of a
.nine and Mr. Coplen was here
iiart of the day before going to
' inland to Interest a few men to
,ie extent that they would finance
us company until the mine could
.a put on a paying haste. Incor
poration articles have not yet been
Uled but will be in the near future
he said.
The vein is about 100 feet wide
and comes to the surface. Mr.
Coplen said that be thought the
depth of the vein was unlimited
When asked if be was sufficient
ly capable of Judging the value of
a mine Mr. Coplen said that be
had been In the mining business
ever since a boy. Several local
.:ltli!ens verified his statement and
placed a great deal of confidence
in bis story.
"From the sample which I have
leiMired I would estimate thai
die ore would average about $35
per ton," the engineer said. "1
.il.w believe that there in sufficient
ire to keep a smelter with a ca
iiiclty of 100 tons per day In full
jperatlon."
The platinum ore vein Is aboul
12 feet wide and the gold talc vein
4Uoiil iO feet, Mr. Coplen said. As
m as sufficient capital is se
cured to back the project the mine
will begin operations oh a big

To the Editor I would like to
add my "personal opinion" along
with the many already given to
ward the "So-called CninpulsorT
Education Bill." It seems to mo its
purpose is not to compel! neglectful
parents to send tlieir cnuurcn iu
some school somewhere, but to do
away with the Private and church
schools. I for one believe that a
religious training is an essential
factor in the education of my child
ren. I do not judge those who may
differ with my opinion for I feci
each and every one should be free
to Educate their children along the
line best suited to them anil also to
"worship" or not to .'worship God"
according to the dictates ot their
own conscience. I will also add to
the above I am a I'rostotent; raid
ed by Prootitcnt parents, with a line
of Prostetent back of them of strong
Prostetent faith. However I do feel
religious liberty is just for all. The
fathers and mothers of the children
whp are attending these religious
and private schools pay their taxas
just the same as do those who at
tend the public schools. Also willing
ly pay the ttition asked by the
church or private school that their
children might have the priveluge
of knowledge of the word of God.
Many of the parents of theso child
ren who attend these schools are
not members of or even believers
of that particular brand of rolig
ion but du believe a religious edu
cation ia as essential as the other
three Rs in tho childrcns existance
hers on this planet of ours. The
laws of our country are many of
them founded upon the principles
of the Biblo, in our courts of the
hind the Bible is considered the
most sacred pledge a man can use.
And I want to ask you fair minjed!
readers how we can justly expect i
our children to livo up to me tail-
To the Editor In your valued
columns of October 12th we see an
article about the Sublimity schools
by Mr. Ucnry Jaquet in which he
claims, amonnst other things, that
the Sublimity School District is us
inz state and County funds which
the district is not entitled to,
To enlighten Mr. Jaquet and oth
ers on this subject allow me to
state the true facts as they really
exist. The census of this district as
shown on the records is 180. Th
school records shows an attendance
of 103 pupils up to and includin
the ninth grade, with a total cx
penditures in all funds for tho year
1921-1922 of $2,840.02. A summary
of the above amount is as follows
Janitor, supplies, equipment,
repairs etc $ 259.13
Teachers salaries, three
teachers .. - 2,580.89
Tho average teachers salary is
$90.70. Each teacher teaching nine
and one-half months of school. Could
you realize any lower salary for
the efficient work they are turning
outf Is there any other school ii
the state where the per capita ex
penditures are less! Especially if
you take into consideration tho fact
that we are rated the highest in ef
ficiency by tho school officials and
records,
Regarding the item "High School
$393.63" which amount is included
in tho above summary and which ap
pears to be so offensive to Mr.
Jaquet beg to state that the fact
is there is no such a thing us a
private High 8chool at Sublimity,
this amount being paid to the prin
cipal who teaches the eighth and
ninth grade. Furthermore, by the
teachers efficiency in being able to
teach the ninth grade our district
sacrifices and forfeits the 1-3 of 2
percent elementary school fund
which we should receive.
I believe the subject that is hurt-
est extent tho laws of God unless onr friend, Mr. Jaquet the most
he, studies them with as much at-j she fact tilt the teachers of the
tention as is given anv other sab-1 SuMissttr -S-i.-..! are so Tery effi-

ject matter in tho school.
I for one feel that the church
school is the only medium where
by a child can develop a true re
ligious training. As it is necessary
that tho teachers be students and
believers themselves in the scrip
tures in order to teach to the child
its meaning. And no person who is
a born believer of the scriptures is
competent to teach its meaning to
the open child mind.
Did I not have 'children of my
own to educate I would still say
that to destroy what has been all
America's guarantee to religious
liberty to its citizens would be to
break tho constitution of these our
Cnited State of America.

le to pass all their

r-;'i'.s that wish
to take up tie ninth jraJe and be
very successful in their undertak
ings. All standard High Schools rec
ognize the credits that are made by
the pupils while attending these
schools.
Surely tho above designated
amount of expenses cannot be con
sidered exorbitant, especially after
you consider the results that are
obtained. It also appears that Mr.
Jaquet Is unaware of the fact that
the Sublimity school District is as
sessed a High School tax and there
fore should bo allowed their just
portion of same, but which I un
derstand it is not receiving and
about which never a complaint has
been made.
The argument of Mr. Jaquet that
the taxpayers will not be bprdened
by the increased taxes due to the so
called compulsory school taw- sure
falls flat. For "if the Sublimity
School district which is entirely un
der the supervision of the; Public
School System is able, us he states,
to lay up a $300.00 surplus r and
maintaining a record schoq without
levying a special tax, should be con
gratulated when compared to other
districts who are not as fortunate ia
their teaching staff and are com-
nellcd to levy special taxes. All
this conclusively shows his mistak
en contentions.
Any fair-minded person who uses
common sense, and is not tainted
with the corruption of religious pre
judice will agree with us that any
teacher that makes it their life's
work to teach is by far more effi
went and capable of carrying on
her work than the average teacher
who teaches a few years and is al
ways looking forward to other walks
in life or who have domestic dut
ie3 at home to perform; If your
friend, Mr. Jaquet, who has been
so kind as to try to inform (or Mis
inform) us and the public about our
affairs would look up the records
of the county school Superintendent
he will find to his surprise that the
Sublimity and Mount Angel Schools
took over half of the prizes award
ed by Marion" County during the
past term. Does this show ine'ffi
ciency in the teaching force!

If you are troubled with nervous headaches: if vnn

Why not test it out for yourself and see? Stop coffee

this delicious, pure cereal beverage does not help build up
your system by letting you get sound, deep sleep.
The rich, satisfying flavor of Postum will surprise and

you may never go back to coffee-drinking again.
Ask your grocer today for Postum. Have it served
