Do you r e-

Maybo it was
a sedate old
Rambler or a
spunky Flan

like a duck with a sore throat
Those were the days of tall
autos. On a clear day you could
see Catalina from the drivers

Trios ware the days, too, when
you bought "any old ell.' Sure,
H left carbon In your motor, but
clearances In those halcyon days
wore never critical, and neither

But auto en

changed.
Today the bug
aboo of high-

engines Is the
carbon that
cooks out of unstable motor ofl
and actually changes the com
pression ratio of your motor
wastes gas, power and raises the
dickens generally.
That's why yov should ask for
Triton Motor OH. for Triton,
thanks to Union Oil Company's
patented Propane Solvent Proc
ess, forms very little carbon, to

So if you have any desire to

Study Group Hears .
Greenland Talk
The Wednesday Study club
was entertained at the last
week's meet ing by Mrs. S. D.
Nason, giving a travelogue of her
trip to northern Greenland while
her daughter. Miss Margaret,
showed moving pictures they
had taken.
Close-ups of Eskimo families,
their homes, icebergs and the
frozen wastes of the northland
gave the Study club members an
excellent understanding of the
country.
Mrs. L. E. Williams gave the
review of the Island. She said.
"Greenland Is the largest island
in the world with the exception
of Australia and is tha most
sparsely settled. It is a land of
ice, no one having been able to
get through the ice as far as has
been sounded." Some soil has
been deposited on the ice in the
southern part and there ia a
brush vegetation. Three and one
half months of the year there
is no sun.
Mrs. Williams quoted from Ad
miral Peary who in 1916 wrote:
"Greenland might someday be
come a powrehouse for U. S..
being well situated for a naval
and aeronautical base. Fiords on
the coast which are almost im
pregnable could hold an entire
navy. Greenland may be of cru
cial importance in the future. In
the hands of a hostile people it
could be a great menace.

To the Editor:
Southwestern Oregon holds
one of the two largest and most
important deposits of chrome ore
in the United States. This same
district also embraces several of
the most extensive manganese
deposits in the west, as well as
large and valuable quicksilver,
antimony and gold mines. Yet
many wonder why there isn't
more development being done
and more ore being shipped from
this district.
Lack of working capital with
in the district for the building of
roads, extension of development
and actual mining of merchant
able ore has forced mine-owners
to go into surrounding states and
to the cities in search of ma
chinery and funds. Far more of
intangible relief and remote
promises were brought back than
any real help secured.
Some schemy promotions were
set up, some stock has been sold
and mine owners, in a vain
thought of helping themselves,
were induced to sign options of
various kinds and lengths, tieing
their properties up for months
at a time in the hands of stran
gers. Nothing happened. No
help came. No development was
even started. The miners decided
there would be no more options
on vague promises they would
demand operation or let their
properties remain idle.
For a while all was quiet on
the mining front; but now the
itinerant option-hounds charge
into Oregon from the east and
south with a brand new Idea for
the local boys a genuine Oper
ating Contract. They call this
new scheme an "operating con
tract" and an "operating lease"
or a "marketing lease." They
call it anything necessary to get
these disgusted and discouraged
mine owners warmed up again.
Then they spring a very short,
simple document for Mr. Miner's
signature.
These "operators' scouts"
they are no longer promoters
talk loud and long about the
best type of machinery and
equipment to be used, where to
put the roads, how soon they will
be permitted access to the prop
erty, whether railroad cars can
be secured fast enough for their
shipments, whether sufficient
local laborers can be secured, or
should they bring in men from
the outside.
These "scouts" talk "opera
tion" and "shipping" so loud that
the entranced miner can Just
HEAR his long-held ore tumbling
down the chutes into the trucks
and on down the road into the
railroad cars, as the scout, with
the signed lease in his pocket.
dashes into his car and tears outJ
to San Francisco or some place
after machinery and powder.
Now down in the center of this
"lease" are a few words just In
cidentally giving the "operator"
the right to BUY tha mine for
some stated price. The operation
is the big thing. The option part
of the contract is spoken of
softly and as if of little interest
or importance. But this little
OPTION clause is the whole of
the contract and it li arranged
to make the former options only
"months" long look like infants.
These new "operating contracts"
but are free options on the mln
are not operating contracts at all,
ing property running for TEN
YEARS some of them even
longer.
They lease the property, with
option to buy, for a term of five
years or so and with the privi
lege of renewing at the end of
that, for a like period. They are
privileged to take ore from the
property, but do not obligate
themselves to do so; they agree to
pay a certain fixed royalty for
all ore marketed by them, but
they do not agree to market
any; they go even Into detail on
how, and how frequently pay
ments of royalties shall be; they
agree to "commence" testing the
property within most any time
because the turn of a shovelful
of dirt satisfies that promise;
that is the ONLY THING they
agree to do. They won't even
agree to do the annual assess
ment work, hoping, no doubt,
that the mine owner will over
look it.
Scouts at Work
These scouts are working this
new scheme hard in this district
now. They have even perfected
the detail of securing local busi
ness men, mostly real estate
agents, to act as go-betweens
sort of smoke screens to speed
up the signing of these ten-year
options. And it is working. They
are pushing it fast and hard,
using air transportation and
speedy, expensive cars, to get
everything possible tied up be
fore the miners get wise to the
scheme.
It may be a part of some dia
bolical, subversive scheme to
cripple and prevent the mining
and shipping of Oregon's vast
tonnage of strategic and critical
minerals; or it may be a deep-
laid plan of wealthy promoters
to sew up all of the best mines
and hold them until prices rise,
as they did in the first World
War and then let loose for mil
lions in profits.
Whatever it Is It meant no
good for mining in Oregon it's
rotten to the core and the scheme
should be exposed. We caution
all mining people to have some
honest, reliable, experienced
mining person carefully exam
ine any contract offered for sign
ing, before executing it.
