Mining Association
. Will Meet Tonight
All persons Interested In any way
In the mining Industry are urged to
be present at a meeting of the South
ern Oregon and Northern California
Mining association to be held In the
rooms ot the Medlord Chamber of
Commerce at 7:30 p. rn. tonight.
A number ot tilings of vital Im
portance to the mining Industry of
this section, embracing the counties
of Jackaon and Josephine In Oregon
and Bisklyou and Del Norte In Cali
fornia, will be brought up for dis
cussion and action It la stated.
care. An agreement between them la
near.
The odds favor action In congress
before March 4.
Our best official sources have learn
ed the British and Jape are playing
poker with their currency.
Recent skidding of the pound and
yen had full cooperation from Lon
don and Tokyo. There Is no direct
connection between the two events,
except they both had somewhat .he
anme purpose. The British wanted
to baUUer their argument on wax
debts as well as to Increase the ad
vantages of exporting industries. The
Japs havo the exporting trade In
mind.
Neither country Is in good finan
cial condition. Their money would
probably have suffered anyway, but
hardly to th extent that It has.
A financial check by our fiscal
authorities Indicates Japanese cur
rency Is backed now by 100 per cent
gold reserves. Normally the reserve
is only 40 per cent. The yen has
contracted 68 ir cent to a recent
date.
The highest whispers are that ster
ling may yet go to 92.60.
Sttmson's suppressed desires are all
automobiles.
The treasured secret of the secre
tary of state Is the fact that he haul
ed his government-owned Lincoln on
a boat and took It to London for the
recent naval conference. It Irked him
considerably when his friends gibed
him about it.
Now he has won one of his great
est diplomatic motor victories. White
salartes and everything else In the
department were being cut, Stlmson
got away with a 16,000 appropriation
for a new Lincoln in the budget. It
will go to his successor.
The excuse contained in the bud
get Is that the Stlmson Lincoln was
three years old.' Henry Ford will
probably sue.
You can hear the army generals
cackling from here to the Pacific
over what Is going to happen after
March 4 to Mr. Stlmson's falr-halred
boy, Capt. Eugene Regnler.
The official whisper around the
war department is that a nice lone
some seat la being dusted off for him
at Fort Marfa, Texas, an outpost on
the Rio Orande. It la so far . from
anywhere that the generals do not
even know exactly where It Is. He
will be banished there by official
orders.
Regnter's sin was that Stlmson
took a liking to him some years back.
Stlmson got Senator Reed of Penn
sylvania to pass an act of congress
in order that he might keep Regnler
as his official military aide.
The army people have burned about
It. They hate to see a low captain
hobnobbing with kings. They have
been whetting their knives for some
time and will get their opportunity
March 4 when Stlmson goes out.
nlnaA Mr I II tTavat rfanw
his contract la up in two or four
months. They olalm It has two years
to run. Some say four.
Their story Is that the movie mag
nates are trying to get him out be
cause he Is a Republican. The mag
nates want a Democrat while Roose
velt Is in the White House.
Hays is well-informed as to thetr
intentions. His office recently plant
ed a story in a movie trade publica
tion headlined: "Will Haya Must
Stay; Industry in All Lines Want Him
In Lead."
It looks like an Interesting fight
while Haya Is learning to read.
French confidence in our money is
not very -high now. . . . You may ex
pect some new attacks on the dollar
from that source before long. . . .
The French were more pleased about
the Roosevelt election than any other
nation. . , . They have never liked
Mr. Hoover.
