Front street, next to Greene Oanabop. Last May there wa 'a freight rate oonimitteeappoiuted by the Willamette Development League for the purpose of drafting a bill governing fieiuht tat- Id the slate of Oregon for the initiative aud referendum. There was appointed on that committee, T. K. Campbell, of Cottage Grove; Judge S. A. Lowell, of PiudUton: John Wortuiau, if McMinuvillc J. Q. Gra ham, of Salem, aud W. B. Sherman, of Grants Pass. Soon after the ap poijtment of this committee tlieie was a meeting called at Silem and I was urged to attend the meeting ; and later on there was a meet inn called at the Imperial Intel iu Poit- laud. Believing thete neetiugs wire piin- oipally for the rursa of organizing a force to woik for some particular aspirant for high cfT.ce, ui d nit lav ing any time to wxrk in politics, I sent my regrets. On the llihtfthis uionth there war n iieefng called in Salem and I was ii.viud and uracil to attend this mieling. Iu i e 11 can- time I had investigate d ti e iiialt. r more thoroughly and found that there was seme real work being done, and decided to, and did attend the meet ing, which was held iu my ro n:s iu the Willamette hotel. When I arrived in Salem I fouud a great deal of work had been done and a great deal yet to do. I ftund that this ctiuniiltee, through thesupiort of the Board of Trado of Portland aud the Willamette DereUi ment League, had put the Willamette Val ley at peace with the railrrud com pany, the freight payuis having se cured all the cats in freight rates they bud asked for, and the compauy lmd promised to Imild branches to Cons Bay aud other parts of that locality. No donbt, the fact of the visit of Jim dill to Portland through invitation of the Portland Board of Trade had much to do w ith the changing of the Hairiman policy. I leurncd Unit at the time ol Hairiuiau's virit to 1 ort land there was a committt e ol hnni uess men appointed ly the Board tf Trade to wait cu him. This commit tee rtated that his mail had been built through the itato ol Oregon fir 21 year and not a mile of brum b lines had been built aud that they thought it was not the kiud of progress that Oregon require! st this time and wanted to know what he ropoed to do for Olegou iu the near future iu the way of more branch lues. It i said that Mr. llarriman gave theui no eucourngeiut nt. A similar committee waiting on Mr. Hill at the time of his visit t lie re anted him what he would do iu re gard to opening 11 1 Orcgrn and got more favorable answer. Aurl it In aid that this bnniuet was ijhite un like that of Mr. Harriuian'H, as the Hill banquet was a grand uneretii. Aud nee that time Mr. Hairiinan has appeared to change hin policy 11 nil is giving as before Hatnl ull the con cessions asked for by the Willamette Valley freight rayers. We understand that a similar com mittee appointed from aoine organ z tion in the state of Illinois had suc ceeded a few days before our lut-t meeting hi getting a cot on the mt.ie freight rate of the state of Illinois, of 20 per cenr. which means over fi.lito, 1 IX HI annually to the freight I a yi rs of the state. The Harriman people seeiuid to have a great many men ready to ad vise our committee, and all the advice we seem to rtceive is to the etfu t that the Harriuiau system is aud has beeu doiug more for the state of Oregon than any oth r road in a similar mountain country and that tl e freight in Southern Oregon were cheuer than any other mountainous country in the L'ulted States. The main point at Issue seemed t be Southern "p" gon. All of the many htteis that were received by oar committet'ineii dwell particularly on Southern Ore gon and the kind treatment we Aire getting here at the hands of the Sou I hern 1'acllic Itnilroad Company, and really would seem to be quite convincing if a mau wer not other wise informed. There was pressure to hare our committee ahal ilon its work, aud it got to a place where 1 had to express myself quite forcjhly in the matter. I stated that Southern i aud Eastern Oregou had assisted in i briugiug about the desired change in : freight rates in the Willamette Valley i and asked if it would te the fair thing for the Willamette V llev, after i getting the our s ion thtooih the I assistance of Southern and Kaslein ; Oregon, to drop oa aud I ave ns light onr own tattles, as they wanted as to do. They slated plainly that the; had secure all concessions that they had asked for and advised us to organ ize a similar league in Southeru Ore gon and take the matter up with the railroad company aud tight our owd battle. After hearing from tloi--representatives from the Willamette Development League and the Kailioad Company, I asked the committee if it waa ita pleasure to act on these sug gest loot, or would the committee stay will! the Dght In Bootnern Oregi u, and they atatt that they would star with o in the fight for justice at the band of the Kailrcad Comjour, as they were appointed for the tpciflc par pose of regulating ihn freights in Oregon, and they were going to atand by the proposition, "till the work for which they were appointed shall have been fully accomplished." The railroad representatives proposed that they have two of the railroad offi cialscome np from Portland to Salem aud meet with oar committee on Sat niday afternoon. We informed them that we had no business with the officials at that meeting, therefore wonld not take np their time. The committee decided to ask the freight payers of Southern Oregon to give any freight rate grievance that they might have to the chairman of the crmmittee, or to W. B. Sherman, who re resent Southern Oregon on the committee. It was decided that after all the grievances were sent in to aim ourselves with regular report shei t oil grievances and then offer to meet the officials in the freight de psrtent of the a P. Co. The commit tee believed that by shapiug matters up iu that way they could get satis factory aud just rencession from the cflicials. It was not even suggested by nuy one cf the committeemen to atk nn thing of the railroad company that w old u. t be right aud just, nor anything that wonld throw a wet till. nb et on any movement toward the (instrccliou of new linrg in the State t f Oregon. Whatever action the com n.itKe takes, it will be that which it (oilfillers is just and right between tho. railroad ct ni any and the people. I would suggest that we hold a nielii p iu Stuthern Oregou at the eu'liist c(neniei)t time for the pur pofe cf looking op these railroad freight rates aud to crgauizea perma nent Southern Oregon Development I.eHgue to woik in conjunction with the State Freight Rate Committee aud assist them to press their woik to a satisfactory finish aud to take up such other woik as would be to Die best interest of Southern Oregon, a there are now aud constantly will be matters of gloat importance in which we are all interested and by perfect ing such au organization it would put as in a position to handle the affair of Southern Oregon in a very satiB fuctoiy ninuuir. I would also sug gist that Ashland, Hnseliorg, and all the towuB betwi en be invited to far-tieipatn. Since ti e patsiuger train schedule makes it more convenient to the ma jority to meet iu Giants Pass, I have been r quested by a committee (Geo. S. Calhoun, H. A. Kotermund and H. I.. Coo whieh was appointed by a very enthusiastic imeling of the Giants Pass Miners' Asso.cialion, .the ( the ml organization of this oily, to call a meeting for Saturday afternoon and evening, January nth, at Grant Pass and to nrge all I lie people in Suit hern Ori gou w ho are inti rested in the developing of this locality to he prestnt aud articipate iu this meeting. Inmviry much iufeirsttd in this work. The reason for my being iu teresten is tho fact that I believe that by oar united efforts we can so reduce the freight rates on lumber and other commodities i.nd that such reductk n will not only enhance the value of my own holdings iu titular in Southern Oregon a good many thousand dollars, but likewise my neighlsirs in their various holdings.

Southern Oregon is getting frequent mention of late iu all the great news papers of tlie Pacific Coast, as one of tlie comiug big mining districts of the West. This advertising is having the effect to increase the interest of uiiu- iug men in this district aud to cause mauy of them to come to Southern Oregon to look over the mining possi bilities of this district. There is not a week but what there are a unrulier of capitalist aud mining meu iu Urauts Pass, representing various great milling slateJ and districts, to examine the Miner Association's mineral exhibit aud to aeek other in foimatiou regarding the mineral wealth of Southern Oregou. The following interview, given by George U. Edwards, prominent capitalist and mining man of Salt Lake, and which ap eared iu the Portland Telegram of last Saturday, ludicatea the favorable impression that these visitors gaiu, who Investi gate what Southern Op gon lias to offer in the way of miuiug Invest ments : Oregon miues are rapidly drawiug the attention of outside capitalists not only of those who kuo-.v nothing about milling, but an auxioos to invest in tomparaiively safe and highly profitable impositions, out also of these who are skilltd iu miu iug, and have already made large sums by delving into the bowels ol the earth. Among tlie latter class is tleotge G. F.dwurds, a prominent mining man of Salt Lake City, who recently was iu Portland two weeks, making careful inquiries into the eruditions of min ug properties Iu the Blue Kiver, Grants Pass and Bohemia districts, and who will return iu about five weeks to close dt'iils already irojected. J. W. Brown, superin tendent of construction in Mr. Kd ward's mining proerties In tlie Thuuder Mountain district, Idaho, is even now on a tour through Blue Kiver, Cottago Grove, Bohemia and Giants Pass districts, iu the interests of the same men as are represented by Mr. Kdwnrds Mr. Kdwards ia president of the company operating the Lincoln mine, at Pearl, Idaho, and la bucked by the heaviest Salt Luke City capitalist Interested in tinning. The Lincoln mine put in a cyanide plant last Summer, and lias miiiie further preparation for extensive work. Many business men of Buise, only 2.'i miles distant, are Interested iu the devt lopment of that proiertv. Its present owners paid about f J.'i.iKKI for it ; tin y now valuo it at ftf.'iO.lKK). The Lincoln mine is u producer, aud has iu recent months proved itself to be among the leading properties iu that district. Mr. Edward i- also heavily Inter ested ill Thuuder Mountain properties, unci expects that to become tine or the great camps of the Northwest, and that its greatest iccnrd will I mi made within the uext IJ mouths, as a be ginner. Mr. Kdwards' presence in Portland created quite a stir iu the mining circles, for it is known that he repre sents abundant capital to handle any of the hlg properties under investiga tion. Mr. Brown, who remains here, lias Instructions from Mr. Kdwdards tn houd Imnii diatelv . all proierlics iu the southern aud central districts that might look good to him, upon careful examination. Kecent successes in those districts, together with riqants of the output of s (s ulali ve proper ties, have convinced Mr. Kilwards that Central and Sniihtern Oregon present an inviting field for the in vestor. Mr. Kdwards has been successful in his milling ventures, lie Is a practi cal man and eujova the confidence of the Salt Lake a'ople, who also believe in the great possibilities of Southern Oregon. Mr. Kilwards ridicules tho idea that the mill's of Southern Oregon are only "pockets, " and declares I list tip to the present ti ne no one has ever demonstrated the actual depth of the veins tapped, lie says that the gen eral formation, the hanging and the foot walls and the country rock all indicate, permanent veins. There arc few indications of a "slide," and the ore chutes, so fur as exploited, seem to be in plac e. So far as developments have shown, and as depih Is attained, the perma nent veins of Southern Orig .u have widened and the ore values have in creased. As was expec ted, llieseores have hecouici base Im-Iow tlie watel level, bar, uncle r modern methods ol treatment, refai tory ores can h i han dled almost as cheaply and with greater certainty as to profitable re sults than the oxidi.cd oris of the sur face. At all i vents, Mr. Brown, who is a practical miring mini, will lose nn time iu ascertaining the siluat ion in Soul hem Oicgou. from the line Itivcr district lo ,,'oscphiue Couniy, and declares that "something will la de iug" when he reports. ...SACRIFICE SALE...
