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

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.

‘ That was whers they made the Gret

done away with; It was an effectual way
of telling your friend* to mind their own

it. But it Is Just shout as easy now, if
you don’t mind paying for a special li

way. Your friends can get reconcile-!

don't like, they can do the other thing.
That was what I waa thinking, Shena
—if some of our friends were to se us

if they Imagined we were on e venture
of that kind.”
Shone blushed deeply, and waa asham
ed of her embarrassment; and said, with
some touch of anger:
“ They could not think of such non
sense!”
"Shena,” said he, eagerly— “ Shena,
hare you been as far south as this be

“ Oh, no,” she answered. “ I have nev

and Glasgow. But Mary Vincent Is to
be at the atation waiting for me.”
“ I did not mean that. Don’t yon know
that soon you will be at Gretna? Don't

In that! It is your first entrance Into

“ Oh, yea, if you please,” slid Miss

of the surrounding scenery.
“ Look! look!” said he. Jumping np,

She took away her arm.

“ Can you imagine yourself living at

“ You— you have no right to ask me

” 1 did not mean It as a Joke at all,

“ I think that there has been enough

"I hope, Mr. Leslie, you won't misun

Vincent and her friends won't know who

"I shall be quite a stranger to you

“ And In the meantime I will say good-
