FRIDAY, OCT. 13, 1911. THE WORLD. Improvement is advertisement that a city can give to the public. Let the word go out that a town is improving and atten tion, far and near, is drawn to j light. that place; labor seeks its con fines for employment, and capi tal applies for investment. Travelers and visitors carry away a good report and the fame of the place continues to spread. Hut, on the other side let a city show a run-down I-don't-care appearance and the reverse is the result; the passer-by will not take a second look at it; he hurries away and carries a bad opinion with him, or her, and is not averse to expressing it when occasion or opportunity offers. It pays to improve; it shows up live, active, thriving citizens and the wide-awake person likes to live among and associate with live people. Under the circumstances it is not surprising that the influen tial nations of the earth main tain powerful navies. A nation without a strong navy might not long remain influential. East Oregonian. Jackson County has gone into the good roads business in a manner that means' business Her citizens have voted tojiond their county in the sum of sf l.odO, 0(1(1 to improve her high ways, and that sum certainly ought to have a beneficial effect upon the county's highways if judiciously expended. The proposition carried in the coun ty by u vole, of more than two to one. It is now over nine years since the government filed an in junction against the Hoof Trust, and so far it has been unable to bring the case to a trial. .Dur ing these nine years the trust has succeeded in having trial postponed forty-three times al ways pleading, Not guilty. Tri al is now set for November 'JOth, next, but there is no assurance that it will take place, while the Heef Trust is still doi ng business at the same old stand. The trust seems to be bigger than the government. Carnegie is - donating large sums for world-wide peace. Europe is holding a peace con gress. Ituly and Turkey are lighting. Rebels are trying to dethrone the king of Spain. Enemies of France are blowing up her warships. Mexico is just finishing a war. Thirty five thousand railroad men are bucking the railroad barons. Hiram Maxim the great gun maker says airships are going to be a fine addition to our fighting paraphernalia. The dove of peace seems to be pass ing through the moulting sea son. Ashland Record. Naval Strength Counts. Metal Production in Oregon. In Oregon, according to Chas. G. Yale, of the United States Geological Survey, the total value of the mine production of gold, silver and copper in 1910 was $700,676, against $827,001 in 1909, which, however, also in cludes the value of the lead pro duced in that year. The ore treated in 1910 was 82,132 short tons against 59,281 tons in 1909.

Baker Coun ty led in gold production with an output of $401,002 mostly from deep mines, followed by Jose phine with $150,018 from both placers and deep mines. All of the copper production and 29,835 ounces of the silver output also came from Baker County whose output of gold, silver and copper was valued at $418,873 in 1910. The combined gold output from southwestern Oregon in 1910 was $209,324, of which $130,103 was placer gold. Tne placer gold out put of this region decreased $55, 149 in 1910. The mines of north eastern Oregon produced $470, 161 in gold in 1910, of which the placer yield was $10,822 and the deep-mine yield $429,342. The placers of this region showed an increase of $4,756 in 1910 and the deep mines a decrease of $42,311. The Inquiaitiv Hostess.

Small Girl (after a painful pause in the conversation) How is your little toy? Caller My dear, I haven't any little hoy, either. Small Girl What are yours?. Woman's Home Companion. The supreme importance of a navy in modern warfare is well illutrated by the Italian-Turkish j land Leader. Making Pleasure Last. Time is a relative quantity. Some minutes seem like hours, and some hours seem like minutes. How to control this flight is beyond most persons, but the little "boy men tioned below seems to have pro gressed pretty well for a youngster. The teacher was surprised to see that he remained perfectly idle all through recess and accordingly asked him why he did not play.
