Colt, presibent of the Union Meat Co., of Portland, Oregon is becoming noted as a hop nnd nheop raising state. Since 1912 no hogs have been shipped to the Portland Stock Yards from other RL-itos tho entire supply being drnwr from Oregon. Tho absenco of corn, which hns always been considered indespensible to the finishig of good pork, hns not troubled the Oregon farmor, as a combination of alfalfa, barley and other grains has been found an excellent substitute Farmer Smith, of the O. W. R. & N. Rv. insists that within ten years Ore gon will be one of tho greatest corn producing states in tho Union and that the state will then be n heavy ex porter of hog products. Ontario will hold a corn carnivnl early next fall at which prizes will bo awarded to tho farmers growing tho best individual cars of corn and also to those raising tho largest num- Imr of bushels ncr acre. I ho car nival will bo under the direction ol the Ontario Commercial Club and the Mainour County Grange. It is oxpectpd that at least 200 farmers will enter tho contest.

An instance of tho severity of the censorship was the confiscation of a recent issue of a paper at Rostov-on Don for publishing a telegram from Viennn stating that it was rumored that tho heir to the Servian throne had arrived in St. Petersburg on a visit.

Senators op posed to tho test will fight it on he floor. Tho provision for American health inspectors on immigrant vessels leaving foreign ports to which Italy and some other foreign governments objected was changed to provide that immigration vessels carrying per sons suspected of being deportable on account of disease, may bo detained after reaching port and the suspect ed persons confined on board until thoir cases are determined, llio pro vision of a head tax of $5 on each immigrant was changed to $0 for each unmarried and $4 for each mar ried alien.

MINERAL RESOURCES OF SOUTHWESTERN OREGON Southwestern Oregon has long been known for its widespread and varied mining resources, nmonc which gold, silver, copper, platinum and coal arc the most important They have been the subject of inves tigation for a number of years by J. S. Diller of the United Slates Geo logical Survey, and tho results have just been published in Bulletin 540. Tho gold rush of '49 landed many o prospector in Southwestern Oregon. Placers were op"encd nnd placer" iriin-" ing has ever since continued to be a thriving branch of mineral indus try. The gold produced in South western Oregon before 1881 cannot be very closely estimated, but it wut. many millions of dollars, while from 1881 to 1912 inclusive the production of gold has been $11,257,772. During the ten years 1903 to 1912 inclusive tho placer mines produced $2,014,715 and the lode mines $1,523,220. Be sides the gold and a considerable amount of copper tho production of silver during the same period wbe valued at $03,385, of platinum $15, 293, and of coal $2,002,122. The gold of the bedrock series in the Klamnth Mountains, which in clude the Siskiyou and Salmon moun tains, was deposited in viens and poc kets in connection witli the upheav al of the mountains at the close of the Jurassic geologic period. Evei since then the disintegration and ero sion of these rocks has furnished the gold for tho auriferous gravels. The encircling beaches of tho an cient "Siskiyou Island" which was surrounded by the early Cretaseouf sea, contain the oldest auriferou gravels, now mined nt the Forty nine nnd other mines, from Arbuckk in California to Waldo in Oregon Tho ocean waves aided by the land streams, washed away tho mountaint and by long, deep weathering of the gold-veined rocks freed the gold for concentration by stream action into a series of auriferous gravels from Gold Basin, 4,000 feet above the sea, and tho much later and older "old- channels, to thoso of tho present stream bars.
