JAN. 31, 1918. THE JOINT-SENATORSHIP Considerable sentiment Is de veloping In favor of Elbert Bede, editor of the Cottage Grove Sen tihel, for state senator and The News would suggest that he be made the candidate o.f the Re publican party for the Joint-sen-atorshlp of Lane and Linn coun ties since Lane has at least one other candidate. Mr. Bede is a forceful writer and his editorials have been vig orously opposing waste and ex travagance in state in county affairs. He is for reform where ever reform measures will rer duce expenses and save the tax payer's money. During the legislative-sessions of; 19.5 and 1917 Mr. Bede was. a member of the Press Legisla tive committee and attended the sessions of the legislature and is therefore acquainted with the workings of that body. Since Linn county had the Joint-senatorsbip during the last session of the legislature it should come to Lane county this year and The News would sug gest that Elbert Bede be made the candidate of his party for that office at this time. tack by neighbors, or rivals, or schemers after world empire. No one is threatening the ex istance or independence of the peaceful enterprise of the Ger man Empire." (From the Pres ident's Message of Dec. 4.) RELEASE THE PENNIES Enough small coins should be shaken out of the toy banks in this country to relieve the pres ent stringency in pennies, nick els and dimes, a stringency that is keeping the United States mints working 24 hours every day including Sundays, turning out "change." The passage of the War Revenue bill has creat ed an enormous demand for the smaller coins particularly pen nies and the suggestion that children's banks be requisition ed so as to relieve conditions comes from Raymond T. Baker, Director of the Mint. Mr. Baker argues that childrens savings invested in War Stamps will be of greater value to the child than tied up in a bank because it will be drawing interest and releas ing of the coins for circulation will be of great value to the gov ernment. "Millions and millions of dollars in minor coins" says Mr. Baker, "are now idle in toy banks, coin savers and other re ceptacles used chiefly by child ren in accumulating savings. The saving of small coins is a llabit of thrift by no means rep rehensible, but a truer method of accomplishing thrift and at the same time aiding the United- States. Government has been provided through the issuanGQ of Thrift Sfamps'&td War Sav ings Stamps."

The present shortage of platinum nnd the consequent urently Increased price of the metnl bid fulr to result In n considerable Increase In tho do mestic production of platinum during the coming year, according to the Unit ed Stntcs geological survey. At the ,sme time, while legitimate minors nre Increasing their production nnd to Home Extent relieving, the country's shortage, other persons nre using the Interest aroused by tho present nntlon-wtde search for the mettil to make extrava gant claims for utterly worthless de posits, and some honest prospectors. ;m led by false nssnys, made by In cmclout or venal nssuyers, to believe mistakenly that they havo valuable platinum deposits. Reports of plati num In some mythical combination "volatile platinum" or "colloidal plati num" should be regarded as sulllclent evidence of the Incompetence or dis honesty of the assayer. Daring the season of 1017 thu geolo gists of the United Stutes geological survey, department of the Interior, spent much time In visiting platinum deposits that proved to be worthless. A notable example Is seen In tho sup posed platlnlfcrous sands of tho Des chutes river, near Terrebonc, Ore. The material collected there con sists of loosely cemented dark volcanic wnnd und conglomerate Intcrbedded with basalt and volcanic tuff. The black basaltic sand Is supposed to havo the richest content of gold and plati num, but neither In putiulng tho ma terlal in the field nor lh the chcmleal tests mnde by the geological survoy could any truce of platinum or other metals of the platinum group be found. Neither wns any gold found In the con centrates, nnd It Is concluded that mn terlal of this type Is very unlikely to contain workable amounts of gold.
