The Oregon Development Ixragne ia rapidly coming to lx- an important factor in the upbuilding of Oregon and already its influence ia being felt in a renewed energy in all sections of the state to make a systematic and forceful effort to develop thr industrial, commercial,mining,stuck, agricultural and other posaibilitiea that await the baud of lalnrr anil of capital. Following the organization of the State League in Portland a district league meeting was held in Baker City that was attended by delegates from all aectionsof Eastern Oregon lyiil now a similar meet ing is to I m - held tn (»rants Pass on this Friday to cover the Southern Oregon sec tion. Delegates from all the towns in this |*art of the state are ex|x-cted to la in attendance. Jacksonville will lx.* rep resented bv Hon. B. B. Beekman, Sena tor Theo. Cameron, Dr. J. F. Reddy, Mayor Emil Britt xml Postmaster John F. Miller, who are leaving by Friday's train for (.rants Pass. This league meet ing will do much toward uniting the en ergies to a common purpose of the vari ous towns of this part of the state in the work of developing the many and profit able resources of this section, and it will lx? sure to mark the lx*gitining of a new era of progress in this, one ot the richest in natural advantages, of any section of Oregon, and the people of Southern Ore gon will owe much to President Smith ami Secretary Tom Richardson, of the Oregon Development League for their splendid work in making the Ix-ague the working success that it is and for the assistance that it is giving this section in its work of developing its latent resour ces. FOR MINERAL EXHIBIT AT LEWIS AND CLARK FAIR. I). II. Weyant, representing the Ix*wis & Clark Exposition, was in Jacksonville Thursday to arrange for an exhibit of minerals from this section fur the Worlds Fair in Portland next year. Mr. Weyant is in the employ of the Fair Association and is canvassing the entire state work ing up an exhibit of the mineral products in Oregon. He is now visiting all the mining districts of Southern Oregon and is securing the appointment of com mittees in each town to take charge of the collecting of samples from the mines of that districts. He was at Gr-tnts Pass Monday and a well attended meeting was held at which a committee was appointed to see that Grunts Pass was fully advertised as a mining center at the Lewis & Clark Exposition. Wednesday Mr. Weyant attended a meeting in Gold Hill When a like committee was chosen to gather up a mineral exhibit for that districts. Mr. Weyant will be in Jack sonville next Monday and he asks that a meeting be held that evening to select a committee for this town. Mr. Wyant is very desiriotis that these committee» be ap|x»inted at once as he fears, and rightly too, that if he returns to Portland with this matter not attend ed to that it will drag along an indefinite time, a» what is everybody« business is usually nobody's business and especially is this true when it is a matter of public welfare. Consequently he will use his every endeavor to get each town to perfect their arrangements at once. So far he has not failed in a single town and he hopes that Jacksonville will not prove the exception, for the time is none too long in which to prepare a creditable ex hibit and the Fair management intend to have the mining department fully com pleted early in the spring so that it will lx- in jxrrfect order when the fair opens. Jacksonville is conceded by mining men to lie in one of the largest and best mining districts in Southern Oregon, and it is also known to be among the least de velojx*d. The gold and copper deposits are extensive and of known rich ness and could capital be had for their full development Jacksonville would soon lx: in the midst of one of the most active and pros|x:rous mining district of the Pacific Coast. The mineral exhibit at the Lewis & Clark fair will be the center of attraction to mining men visit- j ing the exposition and the information they gain there will lead many of them i to make investments and the districts that makes the best showing will be the one to attract the most capital. Jack sonville could easily make an exhibit that would lx: the equal of any that will be there, and if the town expects to pro fit by ihe industry that can do more for its prosperity than all the other indus tries that go to give the town a financial i backing, then will it be necessary to at I once take np the work of securing | specimens and making up the exhibit so that both a choice location and ample | space can be secured in the mineral de- i partment at the 1905 Exposition.

John McDonough and family arrived Monday from Klamath county and are now at the home of Mr. McDonough’s mother, Mrs. Elizabeth McDonough. Mr. McDonough was txirn ami raised at the McDonough place near Tolo and he will sjx-nd the winter in the Valley and may again become a permanent resident of Jackson county. G. M. Maury son of R. F. Maury and who is a native son of Jacksonville is back to Jackson county after an absen ce of 11 years and is at the home of his father for the present. Mr. Maury is a miner by occupation and for the 10 years preceding the past year he mined in Del Norte county California, but since last fall he has been in Nevada investaga ting the famous mining districts of that state and he has come to the conclusion that Nevada is an overated state and that it has not the advantages and oppor tunities that make it an ideal mining section. Mr. Maury had mined in Southern Oregon before he left the state and he conies back with a higher opinion than ever of the richness of this district and he predicts that it will soon become one of the most successful min ing sections of the United States. Mr. Maury will put in the next few months prospecting in the Jacksonville district and will probily hereafter reside in this county.
