and a pleasant word. Southern Ore
gon is literally full of mineral.
Mineral of every known variety.
Gold Hill will shortly expierence the
biggest mining boom in the state's
history. The immediate development
of the Kellmar-Van Pet mines will
start the entire county.
Mines are
now being opened and everyone in
that part of the state is enthused.
The ore is there. Seeing is believing
Gold Hill is the home of immense
cement works, a fruit shipping cen
ter, a community surrounded by un
developed ore beds and veines of
gold, silver, copper, iron, quick sil
ver and other mineral of great worth
Large brick clay beds are now being
opened there. And the building of a
smelter is promised.
Gold Hill is the making of a busy
industrial city an ideal home city on
the banks of the famed Rogue river
which is alive with salmon, teasing
the fishermen to come and play tag.
At Gold Hill our entire party headed
by Mr. Van Horn, one of the best
known miners in the country, jour
neyed up the mountains on a little
prospecting and investigating trip.
This climb will Jong be remembered
by W. C. Repass, the champion snake
fighter of the crowd, who killed a
six year old rattlesnake—he has the
rattles to prove the story.
On the
trip we took advantage of the beau
tiful auto parka and “cooked our
own” in Ashland, Corvallis and on
Gales Creek.
On nearing home we passed
Messrs. Petersen, Kullander and
Bush, who were starting on a like
trip. Yes, the little vacation is worth
the time—it is needed.
Oregon is a wonderful state with a
wonderful climate and a natural
park and play ground all the way.
“Bob” drove all the trip and he can
now depend on our testimony for
him being a reliable man at the
wheel.
HOW TO BUILD VERNONIA
“Many towns,” says a correspond
ent, “are ruled by a Czar,” whose
name is Prejudice, Distrust, Envy
and Hatred.
Their very efficient
secretary is Spite.
“Any town that would build a bet
ter city, must dethrone the Czar,
banish the Trumvirate and fire their
Secretary. If need be assassinate
them all—and not get to work-
“Other things are necessary to city
building, but first of all prejudice,
distrust, envy and spite must be sup
pressed. No city can grow and pros
per while they rule the minds of its
citizens.”
R. A. Long, founder of Longview,
recently pointed out that every town
must have a definite end in view—
something toward which it can work.
“Good government, city conveniences
beautiful surroundings are worthy
aims, but the best planned city is
incomplete without the development
of genuine community spirit and high
civic ideals. These things do not come
from capital investment, engineers
and artitecta can not work them out
by transit and blue print.
“Community spirit and Christian
ideals must come from the hearts
of the men, women and children who
live in the community; Christian
idealism must be established in the
soul.”
Any town is a failure that does not
exert itself to the utmost to give
every man, woman and child within
the boundaries, and opportunity to
live happily; to improve mind, body
and soul; to have healthful surround
ings; honest work to do, and a good
home.
If Vernonia is to grow and prosper,
the motive power behind it must be
a spirit of faith, loyalty and enthusi
asm glowing in the hearts and minds
of its people who call it “Home.”
