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.

Cottage Grave Commercial Club
Taking Lead in Promotion of
Local Interests. Every

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
