May 24, 1905 Cottage Grove Day at the Lewis and Clark Pair has been set by the commission for Tunc 12th. To many of the people this seems to be quite early and they would have preferred to have it placed at a later date. It is probable it would be diffi cult, if at all posible, to change the time and we will simply have to make the best of it. Roseburg, so it has been stated, shares the day at the f'.ir with Cottage Grove. Most likely a miss meeting will be called to consider what arrange ments, if any, will be made by the citizens for that day. TRAFFIC. IN connection with President Roosevelt's demand for rail road rate regulation by a trib unal, it will not be out of place, again to call attention to the ulti mate reason why the railroads, in serving their own interests, cannot be expected, iu the fullest measure, to serve the iuterests of the people. Says Daily Mining Record. As the president pointed out, the rail roads of today have accquired the functions of the public highways of fifty years ago. The people have a right to demand that their interests shall have primary consideration in the performance of these functions. Other things Jbeing equal, a vil lage, or city, or any district of limi ted area will thrive in proportion to the number of articles it can pro duce with the same economy that they are elsewhere produced. Diver sified home production, on an econ omic basis, promotes prosperity be cause it eliminates transportation expenses. Importation is profitable only when transportation expenses are offset by the greater cost of home production. A community that is economically able to supply a large portion of its own needs will prosper because relieved of the bur den of both exportation and import ation. The closer together the mines, the smelters, the power supply and the fuel supply, other conditions being equally favorable, the greater the profits of production. Diversification of industry is of ben efit to both producer and consumer. Diversification of industry, how ever, is the death of traffic; and traffic is the life blood of transpor tation companies. While the in terests of the people are best served by reducing traffic to the minimum economic limits, the interests of the railroads are promoted by measures that tend to increase traffic. This is the conflict of interests forming the economic basis for unfair and dis criminating rates. Discrimination is used by the railroads to put space between the producer and the consumer and build up traffic. Consequently, if the railroads are to be managed in the interests of the people, a measure of control must rest with the representatives of the people. There are two pos sible courses open: Government regulation without ownership and government regulation with owner ship. Which will finally be chosen depends largely upon the wisdom of the railroads by meeting the issue. eoiuplished and ate unanimous in thci.- verdict: that it will prove success. It was the privilege of the writer in ootup.mv with Messrs. Geo. W Lloyd and 0. 4. Howard to recent lv witness the work done by this experimental plant from the time the ore was ted in, until the slag was extracted and the quicksilver was safely in the Condenser. The two primary objects, or troubles which Mr. Dermis desired to overcome, were to secure perfect combustion of luel and the prevent ing of aay of the metal escaping in the smoke and soot and in this, he has been successful. At what may be termed the smoke stack, we in turn placed our heads over the opening and in haled the no not the smoke, bnt a moistened warmed air, with no trace as far as the nostrils conlv detect, of either smoke or gasses To give in detail all the workings of the furnauce is not undertaken at this time. In brief, Mr. Dennis has reversed the usual order of things, the fuel (wood) is fed from the top aud at one end of the furnace, the blaze passes down and through aperatures and by small and regulated draugts just enough air is admitted to make combustion pet feet, the draugt is caused by a fan or blower reversed which causes a suction, instead of a blast, at the other end of the fur n ace the ore is fed from the top 3iui falls upon grates, four in num ber, so arranged that the ore is dropped from one to another, the heated gas passes over the ore on the top grate down through au openiug and back over tne second until all have been passed over. When the charge on the lower grate has been completely freed from quicksilver which is determined by tests, the slag is withdrawn and the grates in turn revolved and an other supply added to the top grate. In the old furnace from 30 to 36 hours were required to release the quicksilver, in this, eight hours is ample, making a great saving in time as well as fuel. Mr. Dennis states there area few more experiments and improve ments to make and when finished the furnace will be remodled along thz lines of this trial plant with a capacity of some 150 tons per day. A model of this furnace is being made in Fortland and will be ou ex hibition at the Lewis and Clark Fair and will doubtless be of great interest to parties familiar with fnr naces. A bucket tram brings the ore from the workings on the mountain at small cost. The road to Black Butte from Cottage" Grove follows the Coast Fork of the Willamette, passes the London Mineral Springs and the place is an ideal location for minmg camp, equal in many res pects to some advertised pleasure resorts. at homo, building up the wealth of Oregon people increasing the local investment fund.

This ideal industrial condition is but another uspeet of patronizing home industries. Give the Oregon product a preference, and the stato's wealth, which means your wealth, grows 1:1 proportion When you buy Oregon manufactures and Ore gon staples, you put your money in the. channel that msuies develop ment of other Oregon industries.

Law son of Boston began in Everybody's Magazine, "Frenzied Finance" and he is not yet through telling the story. So far Lawson says: he has spent $600,000, of his own money aud a years timeiu presenting his state: ments concerning the Standard oil and other companies. The Juue number of Everybody's magazine has an article of 24,000 words on the first great crime of amalgamated copper. If you need an awning, let the Wynne Hardware Company order t for you. They know what you want, GIVE LOCAL PRODUCTS PREFERENCE IiEGON seeks capital for de veiopment of her resources. spends thousands of dollars advertising investment opportuni ties cere, ana at tne same time is remitting millions annually for im ports. If the state kept at home the money spent each year for foreign products and manufactures, and at the same time were able to continue exports, there would be no need of foreign capital for local in vestment. At first blush, this desideratum seems an impossibility. In full de gree, giving an industrial condition enabling any people to export heav ily and import nothing, perhaps the seeming .til.ioultv is real, but moments consideration will show Hut u mea,u!- of hucccss is possible and tli.it whatever is attained adds ho much to the state's development IULid. No one can doubt that Oregon is guilty of gross folly in her im port list. Innumerable articles are found with the foreign label which might with positive economy be local. The btate has imported even eggs, fodder, grain, fruit and build ing materials. Such could find a market here only when superb state resources were being crimin ally ueglected. Other imports rep resenting a higher efficiency of man ufacture and preparation are equal ly available for the home factory. All heavier grades of woolens should be made, at home, for the wool is grown here, scouring is a simple process and Oregon has been pronounced by experts as hav ing on the western slope an ideal water-power for manufacturing pur poses. Assume that $1,000,000 worth of imports are manufactured at home. Pirst, the labor becomcH an Oregon asset, multiplying consumption of food products and general require ments. Secondly, the profit in manufacture and vending remains Oren-onlan.

This strike has caused the greatest ex citement amoug 'miners and pros pectors of anything that has occur red since the great Gold Hill ex citement in 18U5, which this excels. Dr. J. F. Ileddy came to Medford irom opofcane, W ash., one year ago in search of a quartz property, an was advised by many so-called ex perts that there was nothing iu the district that would warrant an in vestment or expenditure of any capital along those lines, but inas much as Dr. Beddy could plainly see that nothing but surface work had ever been done, save where mine had paid from the grass roots, and having unbounded faith in the. district, after careful examination. he decided to erect on thia niine ten-stamp mill, and since the erect ion of the same it has earned $100 per diom net, which shows that Southern Oregon today ban more undeveloped resources than any territory west of the Mississippi luver. Vi, l teddy s many mends are rejoicing in bis good lock, for they feel that he was the first man to come into Southern Oregon that was willing to take a chance in a country that had been repeatedly turned down by would-be experts. The Opp mine has produced in the past from surface workings.!'
