FACTS ABOUT A PULP MILL i the voters, which was no doubt ef fective. lie gave a very clear presenta tion of Statement No. 1, declaring himself to be in favor of the direct primary law, including that feat ure, which some republicans have cast aside. He stated that he could see no good reason for elect ing a L’ uited States senator in any other,way than by direct vote of the people, the same as all other public officers are elected. The general decision of the people of the whole country for direct elec tion of senators was shown and from that fact, the speaker inferred SELECTED COUNTY TICKET that the people desire it, and until COTTAGE GROVE NEEDS ONE • tlif national constitution is changed he believes Statement No. 1 offers the only method of securing the Conditions and Advantages Equally J.

He explained his position as to the election of a United States sen ator by direct vote of the jieople and gave his reasons for the faith expressed; called the attention of his hearers to the fact that in scores ot instances seats in the U. S. Senate had been vacant during the entire session of congress on account of the failure of the legis lature to elect. That if left to the voter no such contingency could possibly arise. That much time an d money had been expended in var ions states by employing dila tory tactics the most disgraceful being" in our own beloved ( )regon where the legislature was held up durinji the entire term thus incur ring t lie enormous expense of an extra »session. That during this time valuable legislation had been neglected. It was a fair and manly state ment of his views on the questions at issue, free from personal abuse of those who might differ with him on these important questions, and was listened to with marked atten tion by the audience. T o our mind he did not try to make a speech, but delivered a kind of a heart to heart talk with Cottage Grove, feeling assured that the location of such an enterprise here is one of tne most feasible and practical industries that can be labored for, considering the fact that this is essentially a timber and saw milling center and the further fact that Lane county is accredited with the largest Ixxly of mercant- able timber in the world, a great portion of which is tributary to Cpttage Grove. It would there fore appear that so far as location and material is concerned nothing more could lie desired than that which is presented right here at Cottage Grove. Mr. b'rank J.

To give an idea as to the quality of ore which is being unearthed, some idea as to the richness can lie arrived at from the fact that out of 2% pounds of ore $1.50 m gold and copper was taken, and indica tions point to still greater values, which promises to make this sec tion one of the richest, if not the richest in the west.
