It is especially adapted to correct such

10 DEVELOP OIL
SHALE IN VALLEY
II. W. Hartman, president, and W.
A. Pcttigrew, chief engineer, of the
Hartman Syndicate of the Pacific
Coast, have boon making exhaustive
examinations of the shale deposits ly
ing In the hills or tho Rogue River
valley. After three months of explora
tion work they state that thero is vast
wealth Btorcd up here; tills conclusion
is based on the fact that after months
of work opening up the deposits, by
means of "open cuts," an Immense ton
nage is uncovered of high grade rock.
From tests made of this shale It runs
high in oil and gas and the analysis of
the oils prove that it is a very rich
quality.
The gas obtained from the shale
will, It is Bald by the company repre
sentatives, ,bo. utilized for operating
the plants and tho large surplus will he
piped to towns In the valley and will
be at tho disposal of tho people for
domestic and industrial purposes.
Such an industry, the officials of the
company declare, means a great boon
to this valley In more ways than one.
It will create a large payroll, stimulate
trade generally and undoubtedly will
bring a number of new residents into
southern Oregon.
During the last three weeks Mr.
Dynning, tho company's state engineer
has had a survey party out locating a
permunent road Into tho holdings of
the ilurtman Syndicate, and Mr. Pctti
grew states that as Boon as the permit
is granted for the construction of the
road, clearing operations will he com
menced nnd a steam shovel will be put
on the ground to do the necessary ex
cavating and grading.
Mr. Hartman Is leaving for Seattle
In the immediate future to purchase
pipe for conveying tho crude oil from
the plants, which will ho located about
ten miles from Ashland, to their refin
ery that is to he erected near tho
railroad.
ThlB company has opened offices at
29 rlrst street, Ashland.

R. Ft. STRIKE EXTENDING
(Continued from page one)
without not only violating their own
promiseB but flatly compromising the
supervisory employing officers to
whom they gave authority and instruc
tions to make promises.
"Under the second plan proposed by
the president the entire system of seni
ority would be nullified. The employes
are to meet Friday to consider it.
Frankly however, the proposition to
give men who stayed at work, or have
gone to work during the strike an op
portunity to have their rights deter
mined by the board is a very different
tiling from the proposition that regard
loss of all the promises that have been
held out to them in order to keep the
railways running, though their rights
shall be arbitrarily set aside without
any hearing whatever." t
Hunting Season May Be Postponed
F, A. Elliott, state forester, has an
nounced that if dry wonthor continues
Hie hunting season, scheduled to open
August 20, may bo necessarily post
poned as a precaution against forest
fires. Past records clearly indicate
that many fires tiro started by caroless
hunters. Governor Olcott will by
proclamation postpone tho season if
conditions appear to warrant such a
move.
Meeting Tomorrow
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. President
Harding probably will receive Monday
or Tuesday of next week the formal
answer of the rail shop crafts federa
tion to his proposal that the seniority
dispute be left to the railroad labor
board for docision.
B. M. Jewell, spokesman for the
shopmon's unions, reitoruted that the
general conference of railroad labor
organization heads on Friday would be
consulted nnd Indicated that it might
take BeveriU dayB to get the communi
cation to the president Into shape.
Nothing has come to light to indlcato
that the administration has a definite
program prepared to present to con
gress should tho president's latest ef
fort at mediation in the rail strike situ
ation prove unavailing. Indications
are, according to house leaders, that
tho president believes it wise to have
congress standing by ready to take a
hnnd nt any time It may become neces
sary and that this prompted his re
quest that plans for three day recess
of the house after it reconvenes next
Tuesday be abandoned.

LONDON, Aug. 10. Military con

of bomb outrages occurred Tuesday.
Steel Orders Increase
NlSW YORK, Aug. 10: The monthly
tonnage re tort of the United States
Steel company, made public today
phowed 6,776,161 tons of unfilled
orders on hand duly 31. This Is an In
crease of 140,630 tons over June's un
filled orders whicn totalled 5,635,510.
another has let his arrears grow, in
a . philosophical contemplation !'
them as an inevitable necessity that
need not cause him to lie awake
nights.
"The members of the supreme
court have become so anxious to
avoid another sensation like that of
the decade before 1891 that they have
deemed it proper themselves to pre
pare a new bill extending the juris
diction of the supreme court and to
urge its passage. It is now pending
in both houses of congress. The act
of 1891 introduced into the appelate
system a discretionary jurisdiction of
the supreme court over certain issues
of Stocks.
"By the act of 1915thls discretion
ary power of the court was extended
and its obligatory, jurisdiction . re
duced, as to review of stato1 court
judgment, so that now the only
question which was given by writ of
error from a state court to the su
preme court as a matter of right, are
those in which the validity of a state
statute or authority, or of a federal
statute or authority under the consti
tution has been the subject of con
sideration by the state court and has
been sustained in the former or de
nied in the latter case. All constitu
tional questions arising in the fede
ral courts in the district courts or the
circuit court of appeals may. under
existing law, bo brought to the su
preme court as of right.
Increase Jurisdiction.
"The new bill increases the discre
tionary appellate jurisdiction now
vested in the supreme court so that
no case of any kind can be taken
from the circuit court of appeals to
the supreme court of the United
States without application for a ccr
tlerarl. Obligatory appeals from all
other courts subordinate to the su
preme court of the United States ex
cept state courts are also abolished
and only review by certeorari is pro
vided. This Includes the court of ap
peals of the District of Columbia and
the court of claims, as? well as the
territorial courts. . Direct appeals
from the district courts to the su
preme court in jurisdictional and
constitutional questions are abolish
ed and such questions are to reach
the supreme court only through tho
circuit court of appeals. These
changes, it is thought, will give the
supreme court such control over the
business that it can catch up with
its docket.
Urge Law Clianircs,
"What I would suggest is that con
gress provide for a commission to be
appointed by the president of the two
supreme court justices, two circuit
rourt judKcH. '.. diKUi. t judge and
three lawvt-rs -f pruminome from a
list recommended by the American
Bur association, . to prepare and
recommend to congress amendments
to the present statutes of practice
and the judicial code authorizing a
unit administration of law and equity
in ono form of civil action. The act
should provide for a permanent com
mission similarly created, with power
to prepare a system of rules of pro
ceedure for adoption by the supreme
court. Power to amend from time to
time should also be given. The rules
after their apprnvnt by the court.
should be submitted to eoiigresu
its action, but should become r.ff..
live in six months if congress laktg
no action. In this way the pro
ceedure would be framed by tho
most familiar with it and by tho
whose duty it is to enforce it. Tlle
advantage of experiment in the labo.
ratory of the pourt would furnish
valuable suggestions for bettering tht
system. The important feature 0f
such a system is that needed action
by the commission and the court win
be properly taken and the neeesar
I delay in a congress crowded with
1 business may be avoided."

"A bill which provides for 24 new
district judges and one circuit judge
In the fourth circuit has been report
ed to both houses," he continued. "It

seems likely that tho bill will pass
before tho close of this congress.
"Tho new bill authorizes a judicial
council of ten Judges, consisting of
tho chief justice and the senior asso-
, cinte Judge of each circuit which is to
t moot in "Washington the last Monday
