Douglas Mining Firm Sends Three Tons to Tacoma Smelter. 1 b a Condensed Form for Salem— Salem and a number of other Oregon towns which have elections in December have overlooked the fact that nominations are required to be made in accordance with the direct primary law. In Salem the direct primary was not thought of until a few days before the time for filing petitions had expired. Some of the petitions filed by Republi­ cans bear the signatures of Democrats, although the law requires that every man signing such a ]>etition must assert that he is a member of the political party named in the petition. Section 6 of the direct primary law provides that in cities holding their municipal elections on a day other than the date of a general election, the pri­ mary election shall be held on the 30th day preceding the day of the municipal election. Petitions for nomination for city offices must be filed 15 days before the date of the primary election. Secretary of State Dunbar has recent­ ly issued in pamphlet form a complete com pilation of Oregon election laws and w ill mail a copy free to any person requesting the same. Glendale— Swank A Burnett have made the first shipment of copper ore ever sent from this vicinity to the Ta­ coma Smelting company. The ship­ ment consisted of three tone of ore, es­ timated to average above 30 per cent pure copper, though a goodly portion of it is upward of 40 per cent. These men have not an extensive de­ posit of this ore, but from such devel­ opment of their property as has been made the owners are confident they have a valuable mine and that further tunneling w ill develop a more extensive deposit. Largs deposits of copper ore have been discovered in a number of places within a few miles of Glendale, but so far none have been found that warrant extensive development, though it is believed that such will yet be dis­ covered. The location of the deposit from which the above ore comes is about 18 miles east of Glendale, on the west side of Green mountain, a mountain mined and prospected for gold for the last 20 years, more or less. Sawmill at Dallas. Dallas— The proposition of George W . Cone, of St. Johns, Ore., to build a lumber m ill in Dallas with a capacity of 5,000 feet per hour has been accept­ ed, with but very slight modifications. It is understood work will commence at once on both mill and pond. When this m ill is completed, Dallas will have within her corporate lim its three m ills, and already there are four others in territory tributary to the Polk county seat. Mr. Cone’s proposition was put before the business people at a meeting and met with almost unanimous suc­ cess. Negotiations have bben brought to an end and now nothing remains, it is stated, but the formal signing of the papers. Eugene — Residents of the Mohawk valley, in the vicinity of Marcola, about 20 miles northeast of Eugene, are considerably excited over the dis­ covery of gold bearing quatrz in the hills in that locality. When pounded with a hammer, gold in large quanti­ ties can be seen in the quartz. E x­ perienced m ining men say the ore is rich, and if the ledge is found to be extensive, there w ill be a big rush of people there to secure claim s. No assays have yet been made, but the ore taken out is apparently rich. Busy Readers. A Resume o f the L est important but Not Lees Interesting Events o f the Past Week.

Salem— Miss Cornelia Marvin, secre­ tary of the State Library board, is ar­ ranging circulating libraries to be sent to several rural districts. Owing to the fact that the legislature did not provide any money for the purchase of books, Miss Marvin has to depend on the generosity of friends of the move­ ment to provide libraries. Thirty states maintain state library boards and purchase books for circulation among the people. Stamp Mill Next Spring.

She grew hope­ ful, too, about her mother’s health, that now, when they went out for a morning stroll among the shops, she would buy this or the other email article likely to be of use to them In traveling. That was partly why she presented Jane with that winter cloak; Jane was to be their ■ole attendant.
