Shipments ot ore from the mines of the Illinois valley are fast Increasing, last week 10 cars having left Waters Creek, at the terminus of the new "railroad, for the smelters and eastern markets. This is the largest week's business yet done from the mines) and was divided about halt copper and half chromic iron ore. The copper came from the Queen of Bronze and the Waldo mines, while the chrome was from a number of mines In the valley, some coming as far as from the base of Oregon moun tain. The copper was forwarded over the Southern Pacific from this city to the smelter at Tacoma, while the chrome is now on its long journey te New York, where it will be used to take the place of the shipments jthat formerly came fronf Europe. Development In the mining of the chromic Iron ore is fast going for ward; and an effort is now betng nade to And ways and means for the tending ot a wagon road down the 'Illinois river that big deposits or the ore found In that district can be hauled out to the railroad. The pro posed road would run . down the Il linois from Sehna about to Oak flat, . sod would follow the route of he forest trail already built A widen ing of the trail is all that would be required for the tint few miles of the dlstsnce. The business developed in the basin of the Illinois by railroad building activities is going to (reals a grow ing demand for highway building, and there Is no part of the west where the need for roads will be more pressing than In that region. The federal aid for road building, and especially the feature for the build ing of roads through the forest re serves Ivy the advance of funds from forest source,' Is most timely. In southern Oregon there are many dls ' trlcts that must be developed either wholly or partially by roads through the national forests. The proposed road to the Josephine caves will open up great bodies of the best timber In the state, while the construction of the road down the Illinois will make available for immediate ship ment 40,000 tons of chromic ore.al ready In sight. These are both small projects, and the government should recognize their Industrial importance and give them aid over some of the more gigantic projects that will have comparatively small commercial value. i Governor Hughes Is not a qulbblcr. He does not trim his sails to catch the breeze of popular approval,' then change front immediately the breeze shifts. He has definite Ideas and the courage to stand behind them. He lias now come out fairly and squarely tor settling ot the suffrage question, and settling it right. He favors the adoption of the amendment to the federal constitution and the en franchisement of the women of the nation. As president, Mr. Hughes will be found just as forceful and just ', as definite in national policies. When he makes a statement H will carry conviction with it. He. can bring back to the United States the respect It has lost during the past three , years.

To get to Winchester, the president would have to pass through Lexington, a feature that would have rendered it a most interesting day In the blue grass state. The president told those who are urging him to go that he did not want politics to enter Into the Lin coln day speech or trip, either direct ly or Indirectly.

It the strike comes, half a dozen resolutions ot forced arbitration will instantly be presented to congress. Many of them have been drafted for weeks, but withheld on the possibility that the trouble will be averted. These will order, on the ground of public emergency, an Immediate settlement of the strike by mediation. Should these measures be pressed, congress appears due for one of the hottest fights the capital has seen in years. The four brotherhoods are determinedly opposed to mediation and have given notice that tbt men who seek to force It on them will feel the full political power of 400. 000 organized voters In the fall elec tions. Their fight will be led by Senator LaFollette, who has prepared an ex haustive speech charging tremendous "wateringM of stock by railroads. One of his counter-offensives probably will demand an Immediate physical valuation of the railroads. Chicago, Aug. 4. A strike of the fonr railroad brotherhoods, threaten ed Us the result of the negotiations now In progress In New York, would paralyze the central western states and work untold loss and hardship, according to statements today from railroad and grain men. While there Is not the promise of the bumper crops of last year. Indi cations are that this year's crop will be well above the average. Even urider the most advantageous condi tions, facilities of western railroads are taxed to meet the crop movement every fall. - Assuming In the event of a strike at least sixty per rent reduc tion In railway carriage, shippers pointed out that perishable products would be given the preference and that the grain and cattle movement would practically cease. The grain now In storage at the eastern milling and shipping centers would be totally Inadequate to with stand a prolonged blockade. One re sult, It was pointed out, would be to vastly Increase the cost of grain In elevators and to decrease the value of crops held In the hands of the farmers. Unless such a strike should be ended very speedily, or some way j found to move trains, the total de moralization of the crop movement I would be speedily followed by a I period of extremely high prices and . food shortage In the population cen ters In the middle west. In the view of local transportation officials, western shipping points would feed themselves first and east jern cities, depending on Chlnago, I Kansas City and St. Louis shipments forN their food supplies would come jan near niarvawun m any lime in the history of the United States.
