The Oregon Tituberman for January comes to our table this week with sixty-eight pages of de scriptive reading about the great timber interests of the state and is highly illustrated. It is indeed a fine publication and deserves a wide circulation. REDEEMED SATURDAY'S VOTli Ol'EXS WIDE THE GATES OF LRAltXISO. Xearty a Four to One Vote In Favor of the Five Mill Tax. MISS KNIGHT AND DUKK. TUB Secretary F.J. Hard of the Ore gon Mining Stock Exchange, who intimated his intention of resigning the office of secretary some time since, will not be permitted to exe cute his plans. A storm of protest has been raised by the brokers do ing business on the floor of the ex change, and a determined effort will be made to get Mr. Hard to reconsider his intentions. He is the right man in the right place and should by all means be kept in the position. After many days of successful en deavor and crowned with ample success, the friend of the prospector, mining engineer, promoter of mines and mining, capable mining man and thorough gentleman, George W. Lloyd, is back again from "bis eastern tour and habilitated with that which makes the wheel turn Tound. He has gone to Bohemia and will let a contract for extend ing the tunnel of the Gold Cross 100 feet. Other material things which interest us all is best given in his own voicement: "The Bo hemia Company has sufficient money in the treasury to develop their property extensively during The officers of D J " the company have cone over all the details of their property, and have decided to put in concentrating works as soon as the railroad is completed, not to cost less than $50,000. As soon as spring opens it is the intention to let a 350 foot contract in extention of the Boston tunnel, it now being in over 400 feet." OREGOX MIXES KXOWX So Reports George W. Lloyd, Just Returned From Roston. Evening Telegram. George V. Lloyd of Cottage Grove, president of the Crystal Consolidated Mininpr Company, was a visitor at the Oregon Mining Exchange this tnornintr. having just returned from Boston, where he spent two months: "Eastern people are beginning to think well of Oregon mines as an investment." said Mr. Lloyd this morning, "especially as they real ize that most of the mines in this state are tunneling propositions They are afraid of sinking properties, both by reason of the expense of mining and overcoming the water difficulty. There are mines in Colorado that spent $i, 000,000 pumpiug water alone, Gold mines are in strongest de mand. This is due to the fact that gold values remain unchanged Gold is not looked upon as a com modity of fluctuating value as is copper, silver or the other metals. I look for large eastern investments in Oregon mines during the next few years, and believe I am safe in the prediction that in 10 years Ore gon will be ahead of Colorado as a miniug state." The meeting on Saturday Inst to reconsider the action taken two weeks previous, by which our pub lic school was closed for lack of funds, was largely attended, bring ing out in force the friends of edu cation and progress, I. lie scnooi was closed on a refusal to raise a five mill tax by a, vote of 61 to 22. It was opened by a vote of 152 to 44. When the meeting was called to order it was addressed by W. M. Miller, county superintendent of public instruction. He went into a detailed explanation of the dis position of school monies for this year, and clearly showed that the board of school directors had not been in reedpt of the amount of money that many of our taxpayers were under the impression the board had at its disposal, conse quently there could not have been a waste or leakage of money through the board. All the money handled by the boart was accounted for and the great trouble was that not a sufficient amount had come into the hands of the board to main tain the actual and necessary ex penses of the school for a full nine month's term. The sicht of over two hundred children with bright and smiling faces eoing to school on Monday morning redeemed Cottage Grove for the dark anil ominous cloud that hung over it for the two pre vious weeks. At no time in the history of this town could the clog ging of the wheels of progress been so disastrous in the closing of our school as just now, Hundreds of families are looking to this section for settlement and homes and the lack of school facilities would surely divert them to other localities, for the first thought of the wise and loving parent is the education of the child, and this thouRht is not confined to the educated parent alone: it is equally shared by the illiterate one. for that one tnort than all others realizes how badly he has been handicapped in the life struggle by not having had the benefits of the schoolroom. Now that this school is once again in active operation the ear nest, energetic and progressive workers who are striving night and day to build up this commonwealth and make it what it can and will be can look the stranger again in the face and say with pride: Yes, sir, we have a school and a good one. and we invite you and your family to come among us.

Dispatches from London say Miss Portia Knight ol Snlcm has been paid by the Duke of Man chester 1000 pounds or $5000 and all legnl expenses incurred up to the day of settlement for keeping her breach of promise suit out of court. Her father, Col. N. U. Knight, was employed by Secretary or State Kincaid in 1897 to defend him in the Supreme Court in the tnaudainas suits brought to compel him to issue warrants to pay claims for which the Legislature had not appropriated any money. He re ceived a certificate of 300 for his services. Soon afterwards he be came verv anxious to nave a war rant issued so he could sell it for cash, explaining that he must have money to send to his daughter, then in the east. After repeated failures to have his persistent and urgent requests complied with, it was reported that he sold tne cer tificate at a very heavy discount. He is now in London helping his daughter worry the duke, and if the telegraph tells the truth they have done him up in great shape. Mr. Zimmerman, the Cincinnati brewer, whose daughter the duke married, is no doubt finding out that dukes, with all sorts of debts and breach of promise suits and other old things hanging over them to be liquidated, are expensive luxuries. Men who sell their 1 nncr liters to worthless metl of a worthless titles usually get their medicine sooner or later and per- the sooner the better. State Journal.
