one." Th senator did not disclose
Mr. Roosevelt's reaction.
The president's conferences with
eapltol leaders, who remained past
last Saturday s Adjournment, occur
red amid expressions of strong op
position to the early return of con
gress from within the Democratic
party. These opponents speculated
that such a session might increase
party dissension.
Leaders Opposed
One leader who preferred not to
be mentioned by name said No
practical good and maybe some
harm" would come from a special
session on farm end wage-hour leg
lslallon. He celd he and others of
the same view would so advise Pres
ident Roosevelt before leaving the
capital.
He argued time waa needed to al
low heated tempera to cool and that
It would be poor policy for the pres
ident to run the risk of reopening
party strife In October or Novem
ber.
Many members, he said, might feel
none too kindly toward the admin'
Istratlon and Its legislative program
If they were summoned back to
Washington while In the midst of
building political fences for next
year's election.
To the contention that action on
a farm bill and a wage-hour meas
ure In the fall would permit short
ening the regular January session,
this party chieftain retorted that a
special session would not mean "tak
ing 15 minutes off the regular ses
sion.'
Session Talk Persists
Some house members nevertheless
said they would prefer to have the
farm and labor standards Issues dis
posed of In a special session, and
talk persisted that the president
would call one.
One reported the president con
sidered an extra session would be
almost Imperative should he fee)
compelled to veto the sugar control
bill.
The president objected, prior to
passage of the bill, to the restric
tions It places on shipments of re
fined sugar from Hawaii and Puerto
Rico.
The measure extends the present
sugar quotas which expire Decem
ber 81 and Its veto thus will leave
no sugar control after that date un
less a new law Is enacted meantime.
The sugar bill waa among 168 on
the president's desk for action. He
signed .17 of minor Importance this
morning.

COUNTY GOLD OUTPUT
OFF SHARPLY IN 193B
AS STATE SHOWS GAIN
A report prepared by Charles White
Merrill and H. M. Gaylord of the
United States bureau of mines shows
that the output from Oregon ores
and gravels In 1936 was 00,763 line
ounces of sold. 65,061 fine ounces of
silver, 574,000 pounds of copper, 168.-
000 pounds of lead, and iza.wu
pounds of sine.
Compared with 1935, four metals
showed Increases as follows: Oold.
8682.89 ounces or 13 per cent; copper,
176,200 pounds or 44 per cent; lead,
98,425 pounds or 185 per cent; and
zinc, 122,000 pounds. A decrease of
25,324 ounces, oi 23 per cent was re
corded for sliver.
The report said: "The total value
of all tho five metals Increased 12
per cent from 2,010.343 In 1936 to
2,368,411 in 1936; gold accounted for
94 per cent of the total value In
1936. Increases In output were re
corded In many of the counties of
the state. Grant county output nearly
doubled and Baker county produc
tion rose substantially. In Jackson
county, however, the output was
halved largely because of the cessa
tion of dredging on Foots creek and
a small decline was recorded In the
production of Josephine county.
Drought affected mining adversely,
particularly placer operetiona. Sixty
five per cent of the state's gold was
produced at placer mines and most
of the lode gold was recovered from
dry and siliceous gold ore.
Jackson county produced 5287 fine
ounces of gold In 1936 as' compared
with 8512 In 1935, the report showed.
Value dropped from $332,922 In 1935
to 185,045 last year. I
Josephine county produced 9672
fine ounces of gold In 1936, as
against ,10,016 In 1036. Value de
clined from $350,547 In 1935 to
$338,620 last year.
