Fkbruarv 8, 1905 TO GET MILL STARTED. For many months the large saw mill plant known as the Long & Bingham mill situated in the east ern portion of the city and reached by both the S. P. and the O. and S. E. tracks, has been closed down. Recently the mill and appurte nances nassed into tho hands of local people who have not yet sig nified their intention of starting work at the mill. The Commercial club had the matter before it on Monday night and it was the concensus of opinion that the conditions were now fav orable for the mill to be started and the business of shipping lumber be added to the other industries of the citv. The O. and 8. E. railway runs up Row river a distance of nearly 30 miles and penetrates large tim ber tracts where the best ot logs can be secured and unloaded direct to the mill and it is understood the management of the road stands ready to make very reasonable terms for transporting tho logs. It is not the intention of the club to interfere with private business, but it proposes to stand ready to assist in every way possible every enterprise which is conducive to the interests of this locality. With this in view, a committee consisting of Messrs J. I. Jones, Wm. B. Root and W. H. Abrams has been ap pointed to interview the present owners of the mill; the manage ment of theO. and S.E. railway, and assist in every possible way the starting of the mill at the earliest date. SUNDAY CLOSING AT BUTTE THE Leonard miue at Butte was closed down on Sunday, Jan uary rs, and the miners were given a holiday. It is currently stated in the camp that there is a probability of the Amalgamated copper Com pany establishing a six-day week. Heretofore all the mines have worked every day in the week. The miners, we understand, rather oppose this contemplated change, owing to' the fact that they will only be paid for six shifts a week instead of seven, as at present. We think the opposition oi the miners to the proposed plan will be witwdrawu after a fair trial of the system. No man can work, mouth in and month out, seven days a week, underground, especially in the winter months. Our experience has been that the health of the miners where a six-day week pre vails is a great deal better than in camps where the seven-day week prevails. We, believe that the miners will find that if any average is struck over a fair period ol time they will actually lose less wages on a six-day week plan than where Ihey work seven days, besides being a great deal more comfortable and hapjiler.Mining Reporter.

Every body Get Busy! Commercial Club met in regular session, II. O. Thompson, presiding. The cotumitteo on the Newton onterlainmcnt reported that a fine musical program has lccn arranged to precede the lecture and from all indications a splendid treat was as sured to all who attended- At a previous meeting a com mittee had been appointed to draft a set ol questions the object of same being to set forth in concise form the natural advantages of Cottage Grove and surrounding country and the committee having rendered their report same will be published heartily. A committee consisting of Messrs Jones, Root and Abrams was ap pointed to confer with the present owners of the Loug & Bingham mill and ascertain what steps would be necessary to place the null in active work. The personel of the committee is sufficient to assure a speedy openiug of the mill if the present owners have any notion of starting same. A committee consisting of Messrs Campbell, Howard and Thompson were annotated to draft a set of resolutions to be forwarded to the President ol the United States com mending him for the active move he was making to increase the powers ot the present Interstate Commerce committee aud the same cemmittec was instructed to ask the valley Commercial Clubs to send a request to the Oregon delegation in Congress asking them to indorse the action of the president. Quite a discussion wns held rela tive to the stand of the Lane county delegation in the present state legis lature now in session, as to the action taken in pressing a maxi mum freight rale bill to passage and the general sentiment seemed to be that a more vigorous action should be taken than has lccu done. The'committee appoiuted a short time ago by the Commercial club to prepare questions to be answered by any one desiring to do so and presetit to the club in writing.made a, partial report on Monday night. Among the questions submitted, a few are given here: "Why should you invest in collage urovc, "What will prevent Cottage Grove having a population of 7000 in 10 years," "What aro the natural re sources adjacent to Cottage Grove," "What are the climatic changes at Cottage Grove." "How many months in the year can one use vegetables from the gardens," "What is the future outlook for the Bohemia gold mines," "What bene fit will Cottage Grove derive from the Bohemia cold mines and the Black Butte quick silver mines. A complete list of questions will be submitted later. FORESTRY AND MINING. Sec. Shaw in his addros3 as presi dent of the American Forest Con gress, recently in a session said: The importance of tho public for est lands to mining is direct and in timate. Mines cannot bo developed without wood any moro than arid lands can become productive with out water. The public forest lands are and must continue to bo the chief source of timbers used in our Western mines." Tho Western mining interests have failed to rccognizn in any practical way this intimato relation botwocn the preservation of tho for ests and the dovelopmont of tho mining industry. Usually tho tim ber available to a mine has been recklessly used, and eoldom is any attempt mado to restock tho timber claims or oven to protect them from tho ravages of firo or the timber poachor. When tho timber at hand is used, the mine must buy from ro- motor sources at a greatly enhanced cost. We have in mind several cases where large mining companies by careful managomont and by re planting could have- maintained a perpetual timber supply for mining purposes on their near-by timber claims, but thoy did not Tho secretary says: ''The nation nwakonod to the necessity of planting trees and making tho moht of thoBQ that are mature Our in- titutions of learning nro taking up tbo study of forestry.

T HLIth lias been a cood deal hoard during tho post two or threo years in tones of doleful pes. simism concerning tho effects of the growing money madness and love of luxuay in tho United States. It hns been asserted that this country, young as it is, is showing sighns of going the way of tho Ro man Lmpiro, which as soon as it had obtained dominion over tho world, had dove loped a class of men enormously rich, had concen trated in largo dogreo tho popula tion in the cities, and had establis hed a reign of unparallcd luxury, began to deteriorate and woakon and linally fell. Over and against tho pessimism of those who think that tho United States is threatened by the same cause of disintegration and decay it is gratifying to placo tho optimism of Piosessor Patten of tho University of Pennsylvania,, who in a rccont address printed in tho Annals of tho American Acadnmv. takes au entirely different viow of our national prospority. Ho holds that tho United States is in no danger of following in tho pathway of declining Rome. His study of tho subjoct leads him to tho conclusion that national pro gress doponds on resources. Homo foil as soon as Italian resources foil off.
