SMELTER CERTAIN FOR GRANTS PASS To Be Erected at Once at Savage Rnplds-VVill Make No Fumes. It ha been denfluitely settled that Grants Pass ia to have a smelter, and it is to bo an independent cuinimny, largely composed of Grants l'as men, and will not be under the control of the smeltc trust that has receutly absorbed the Helby, Tucoma, Everett and most of the other smelters In the United States.

This smelter i a new deviei that by mean of air blast consumes it own gaaea. It can be built anil operated at much less cost than the old kind of amelter and lias a greater productive capacity. Coal or wood can bo used as fuel. That the undertaking Is to he a go is a certainty for there are big cap italist back of the concern "and the company will have ample capital to install It plant ami to carry on its business.

His 8. W. Blasdel, of Portland, wa in Grunta Pass several daya this week, a guest of the Josephine. Mr. Blaa del is one of the leading mining men of the Pacific Coast and ha extensive interest in Southern Oregon aa well aa in several other of the leading mining districts of the West. Mr. Ill.tsdel ha great confidence in the future of Southern Oregon and think that the time la not distant when it will bo one of the principal field for Investment by capitalists. Hie numerous failures of mine ven ture that have occurred in Southern Oregon In the opinion of Mr. Blasdel, is no proof that thia ia a poor mining section. Every "now district haa thia experience and i dotted with aban doned mine working and wreck of mill buildings, monument of some visionary, inexperienced man' folly, or more frequently of some detpondent promoter and mine officials who work their sfockholdera more than they do their miner There have been mine enough developed into paying proper tlca In this district to conclusively prove that there ia mineral wealth here. And the vast noml er of prom ising vein that havo been opened np and the large extent of territory on which they are located ia added proof that Sonthern Oregon haa the certain prospect of being the scene of great mining oporationa and a safe, and prod tn hlo place for big Investment. Mr. lilasdel but recently returned from the East and fnond in New York and other money centers much In terest In western Investments, and he think that the volume of Eastern money to be invested ill mining prop erly ia 011 the increase, and now that Southern Oregcn ia beginning to get a standing in the milling world much of thia money will come here. Mr. Rhtsdel la a large stock holder in the Ideal Gold Mining Company, which owtiB MX) acrea ol'placcr ground on Grave creek six inllej below Lc I11111I. Their entire acreage prospects well and shows the valuea to be uni form, but nothing marvelously rich, but noli enough to justify being worked. For certain reasons l in company doe not exet to begin mining operations before a year from next winter A hydraulic plant will bo Installed. Water will lie taken from Grave creek and a ditch five mile long will be required to bring water to a height to give a good working hi ad. A dam will be put In Grave creek nnd a ditch flvo miles in length will he constructed to bring witter, which will bo delivered under a pressure nud iu quantities that will enable the giants to do effective work. A small sawmill has been erected nnd lumber is now being cut for use in the diim and flume. Work will not likely begin on the ditch before fall, as for certain reasons the company is in 110 hurry to rush their wt rk nnd do uot ex wet to have their plant Iu readiness for piping until n year from this fall.

Where the Shoe Pinches A ranchman and bis wife wtut into a store the other day to dispose of produce. While the man lingered at the tobacco counter, the woman weut to the proprietor. "What is butter worth today?" "Thirty cents, aa usual." "Can you take mine?' "No, madam, we can't, we have more than we can nse. " And, lead ing her to the refrigerator lie pro ceeded to ahow her that tho box was foil. A few minutes later the hus band went to the proprietor and ask ed: "Why can't you take my wife's batter" "Becjiune," replied the merchant, "you people never enter my atore with cash to buy anything.. If yon need something you aend to Roors, Sourhnck & Co., 01 Wantgamery, Mord & Co. I see yonr buttor sales are slack and so you come lo me. Send your butter to the mail order houses with which you do business." This conversation took place not long ago iu au Encampment store. There's a lesson in it for all who per sis' iu pnrtonizing cheap mail order houses. If you have cash to spend patronize the home merchaut. He is the man who will always take your butter and eggs even when the market is flooded. Tho mail order houses will not tuko your produce. All the city stores will consider is cash, sunt with order or payable to the express company uHin receipt of gooda. The home merchant will give you credit. The home merchant will allow you to return and exchange gooda If uot satisfuctoiy. Tho home merchant makes a market for your products by building op a prosperous community. Tho borne merchant ia always hero to aupply yonr wants to day, not tin days from today. If you are making a livelihood bv the sale of your product to Encamp incut people, throw away your mail order catalogue ana commence to practice reciprocity. If you are resident of Kucnmpuieut do likewise. Don't buy anything from outside ruer chants that yon cau buy at home That is the system if the people of a community incuii to be mutually help ful. Keep tho long green iu local circulation. It ia a little late for uew resolu Hons for HHi.'i, but it is never too late to cut out patronizing the mail crib r houses the firms who take money out and send uo money into the com munity of which you nre a art Do it today.
