At n inecling yesterday of tin bunrd uf dirrrtnrs nt' Ihe organiza tion heretofore informally known a iJio Mineral Dcvclnpincul league, thai asHuciutinn was given mi official nnmo. It will hereafter bo known as Ulnc l.edge District Copper league. Of course, il 'annnt encourage tliu development of our immense popper resources in that district without de veloping also the gold and silver; nor ean il develop these without also de veloping the timher interests, in lare measure. Therefore, il selected the mineral that gives the district its character, lieenuse it is one of the largest and richest copper fields on the eoiitinent. The eoinpetition for the eommereinl trade of this ((real district is keen and vigorous at least between three different points. Mcdlord is one of these. The faet that Ihe Itlue Ledge distriet lies practically al our back door lias ho far lieen maile to appear to he our misfortune. We have up to mis tune taken too niueh Inrgrunt ed. Ilenec our dangerous lethargy. Kithor of the other competing points is more than hviee the distance in possible road mileage from the ren ter of that distriet. We have fool ishly assumed, therefore, that the llcdfurd way must he the outlet. That in a risky assumption. It may eost us the very thing we so niueh desire. Milieu Make Cities. Mining companies know that their combined activities in a large field af ford sufficient husiuess to build cit ies. They know, also, that every village or hamlet nurses Ihe ambition to hecome great, industrially, com mercially and socially. Hence they await the development of this ambi tion, in the assurance that Iho sum it eventually costs the successful bidder for the business will be deducted from their cost of const meting an outlet, l'or this reason, in part at least, those interested in the Itlue Ledge, district properties arc watch ing the progress of Ihe rivalry be tween Medford, (Irnnts Pass and Yreka. Medl'ord possesses every nat ural advantage in this colli est. It is nearer by half lo the district involved tlinii either of the other points; road way possibilities are much heller, and il is Ihe iki t urn 1 distributing center for n magnificent pastoral district lis well, lly natural selection, therefore, Medl'ord is Ihe logical trade confer lor Ihe I tin o l.cilgo district the point of easy convergence ami di vergence. .Means Largo Payrolls. When we consider the vastness of the tonnage already prepared for shipment from the Illuc l.edge dis trict and the iiicomputahly greater tonnage awaiting the mining pro cesses, we ean begin to count the greatness of Ihe I'oreeH required to hnndlo that output industrially. With transportation facilities provided, it is the estimate of reputable mining men lhal a force of five thousand workmen would be small compared wilh ihe industrial demand of the dis trict lor general development.

He m:i told that this was an excess usage of pa-j per and warned that he must prac tice Iho most rigid economy because Ihe mill could only furnish paper for bis regular edition. Kveu in view of the fact that the price has risen over per cent on this grade of paicr, the publishers are unable to have all their require ments taken care of by the mills. The difference in the old and the present price of news print costs pa pers wilh the circulation of the Mail Tribune more than $:i(IO per month, while papers like the New York Olobc are paying tribute to the paper com bine exceeding $L'0U(I per day. This increase in eosls goes into ev ery department of newspaper making and increased advertising, and sub scription rates are being put into ef fect by nnblishcrs all over the coun try to prevent them going into bank ruptcy. There is no relief in sight, and even the committee appointed by congress to investigate the eost of print paper have failed to arrive nt any conclusion other titan to econ omize all possible in paper use and raise rates to offset the increased cost.
