Thin city viilt'd $75,000 bonds yesterday to complete the Htnte highway through this city. Tho proposition cnrrleil by neatly 0 to 1. PR Oil THE RATE PORTLAND papers arc decision of tho federal iniliative rate bill void. They have continuously misrep resented the ease, from the start it ml would have the public believe "selfish" Bedford was trying to revolutionize interstate commerce. The reason for this attitude is apparent. Any law that eoualizod rates on a nronortional niileaue basis would destrov tho niononolv of the ing the unfair and unjust lnvor. The Medford rate bill was an adaptation of the rati laws of certain eastern states and based upon sound bus iness principles that it costs less to handle carloads than it does less than carloads, and that transportation costs so" much per mile, regardless of whether it is, to or from Portland. It would have benefited every section of the state. The Portland jobbers' attitude hns always been that of tho hog in the trough. The Portland chamber of com merce intervened in the eases brought by the ledford Traffic Bureau before the state railroad commission and interstate railroad commission to secure reduced rates and opposed the reduction. The jobber takes the usual short-sighted old Oregon view of the situation, that Port land's supremacy depends upon dwarfing the progress of the balance of the state. It hasn't hurt Chicago to have sixteen jobbing or dis tributing centers in Illinois. 3t won't hirt Portland to have half a dozen in Oregon. The city cannot hog it always the state is too large, the distances too great. Eventually the jobbers themselves will realize the situa tion, as the more progressive have already, establish branch houses and jojn the effort started by redford for equalized rates. The rapidity with which Oregon is developed depends largely upon the rapidity with which small cities are built np and their surrounding territory developed, and depends also on the rapidity with which new railroads and branch railroads are constructed. The latter must eventually be built, though never by Portland capital and when they are, some such equalization as that demanded in tho Mod ford rate bill will become apparent to all. Portland can then maintain its jobbing supremacy only through branches, and the policy of the jobbers will be reversed. They will be the ones demanding what Medford has vali antly fought for. Discrimination in rates against an entire state in favor of one city is the most vicious form of the protective, policy and all such special legislation and artificial pro tection are doomed. Portland must eventually stand on its own merits and not on railroad favor. Medford sees further into the future than Portland that is all. Its cause is a just ono and justice must ulti mately prevail. Increasing Production of Talc As talc and soapstono deposits aro plentiful In Jackson county, tho fol lowing governreport on Its increasing uso and production are of local In terest: Tho people of the United States aro using more talc than ever, not alone for toilet powder, for that Is but a comparatively unimportant use to which tho mineral is put, but in the arts and Industries. Tho marketed production of talc and soapstono in tho United States in 1912, according to an advance chapter on tho produc tion of. talc and soapstono In 1912 by J. S. Dlller. Just Issued by the United States Geological Survey, was 159,270 short tons, valued at $1, 70G.9C3, against 1(3,551 short tons, valued nt ll.C4C.018, in l'Jll. Tho production In 1912 was the largest In tho history of tho Industry. With tho exception of a small pro duction In California the entire output of talc and soapstone in tho United States comoa from a comparatively narrow belt of ancient crystalllno rocks running through tho Atlantic states from Vermont to Georgia. Tho threo leading producing statos arc Now York, Vermont and Virginia, fol lowed by Georgia, Maryland, Mania rhiiHotU. Now Jorsey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ilhode Island, and Cali fornia. More than 12 per cont of tho total output of tho United States In 1912 tamo from Now Vork. Tho total mnrketod production of talc for 1912 was 133,289 short tons, valued at $1,097,483, a decided In creaso comparod with tho production of 1911; tho output ot i,oapstono In 1912 was 25,981 short tons, valued at IGO9.4S0, a gain both In Quantity Medford Coal Is The classification of conl into var ious graded, Mich ns bituminous spini'liitiiiniuou? and lignite, is arbi trary and uiibntisfnctory, but it in in common uc u the United Ktnterf and in tlio absence of anything better it is published by tho United Status geological survey.

I)y far tho most important uso of talc is in the manufacture of paper, but thcro is a largo demand for It In the mnnufacturo of rubber. Talc Is not only mixed In the rubber through out its body but is used on tho sur face to frco the rubber from tho molds. Anothor Important uso of talc Is In sizing and bleaching cotton cloth. On account of Its high instt- hating qualities with reference to both electricity and heat talc Is employed In the manufacture ot many forms of Insulators, among which Is the cov- erlng of electric wires and switch boards, and tho flooring for electric stations. It is also used largely in tho mnnufacturo ot toilet powders and paints, as well as for foundry facing In casting Iron. Tho tnlc for which thcro Is perhaps tho greatest domand In tho United States Is tho compact variety uged for pencils, gas tips, and hlgh-grado insulators. Soapstono is used most extensively In tho mnnufacturo of laundry tubs. The larger slabs aro used for tablo tops and for acid tanks In chemical, biologic, photographic, nnd many other laboratories, as well as for 'switchboards, flooring, and panols in electric stations. In nomo parts of 'the country hearthstones and stoves aro made of It; It has a still wider application in stoo and furnaco lin ing, and when ground it Is useful for 'furnaco fucing.
