FOUR MONTHS OF POLITICS MINING INDUSTRY BOOMING The mining business is more active than for many years, and this is especially true of the industry here in Oregon. The high price of nearly all metals due to the war is the cause of it, for mines that were too poor to pay for operating under the before-the-war prices, can be made profitable producers now. Oregon contains vast bodies of copper, both in its eastern portion and along the Siskiyous and Rogue river mountains. The Cascades also show some valuable propti'ties, at Bohemia ami other points, and even here in Marion county there are some fine showings. Up the Santiam and in the Gold Creek district there is considerable activ ity, and some fine ore bodies have been uncovered. Most of these are base carrying large per centages of copper, lead and zinc, and a fair value in gold. In fact it is the baseness of these ores that heretofore kept them from being worked, for the cost with heavy transporta tion charges, made their profitable working a problem. The advanced price of copper, lead and zinc gives them additional values, and will result in their being placed, .some of them, on the list of shippers of concentrates in the not very remote future. Recently a fine body of manganese carbonates has been discovered in one of these mines, and as this ore is worth $100 a ton at the railroad, and the demand is unlimited, there should be something doing there soon. Coos and Curry counties are wonderfully rich m base ores, but have never got in the limelight because they are remote from transportation. It will not be long until this is changed and southern Oregon will come into its own as one of the great, permanent mining sections of the United States. It has never been prospected for any thing but gold, and this either in the placers or of the free milling class. Base ores of all kinds have been turned down, as worthless, but this will be changed, and prospect holes now considered worthless will be the source of many a fortune. As those suffragettes have determined to discipline ihe democrats because they refused to pledge themselves to national suffrage, by working against them in all the suffrage states, it is suggested they join the German American organization? The principle is the same, which reduced to - its least common multiple means: "Do as we say or we will defeat you at the polls." If the ladies had any political experience they would see that they are taking just the course that is certain to Meat l.heir object. The states not already having equal suf frage will be pretty certain not to have it as they observe the results of the elections in the states that have, pro vided the women should be able to make then- threats food. Should congress submit a constitutional amend ment for this purpose, as the women's party desires, it would have to be ratified by two thirds of the states and what chance will it have if the women defeat 'ho con gressmen of the suffrage states because they did not obey the women's commands? About as much w , should judge as a snowball in well in Salem about noon these days. The golden epauletted strawberry still commands' the market, but the juicy and odoriferous red raspberry will soon contest the place of honor with him. These in turn will son yield to the black caps, and King Bing and good Gueen Anne will displace both for a brief reign. Then the rotund green-robed water melon and the corrugated cantaloup, but what's the use? One after another there are so many delicious things coming that it would sound like a fruitgrowers' catalog to enumerate them. One democrat, and he from the south, so far forgot himself yesterday while the committee was discussing the suffrage plank of the platform as to remark that the party was not to be ''scared by the swishing of a few skirts." The race entries are all made and the entries are closed. Now there will be a stirring campaign, which will begin soon and last until the election is over. There has never been a presidential campaign where there was so little difference on the main issues between the parties. That little however will be made much of, and partisan prejudice will be worked for all it is worth, and much more, for it is not a very valuable thing. There is less of it, too, than in the old days, for the citizen? have formed the habit of doing some thinking on their own account, and are not so bound by party lines as they used to be. Every year there is a larger portion of the voters who use the political parties for what they are intended, just as a medium through which to express their individ ual opinion. There is getting to bfe a great thoroughly independent vote, that carries the balance of power, and belongs to no party. As a matter of fact a good citizen should not "belong" to any party, democrat, republican or any other but should change from one to the other when the policies or things advocated do not please him. When this is done there will be more patriotism and less politics, better government and more efficient officials. tabloids ij Summer Resorfe ! ! i " $ V.. : Closing Exercises of Sublimity Schools That tlie closing exercises of the Sub limity schools are always interesting. i n fact well known to a large portiou of this paper's readers, but the exer cises closing the school for this yeaf, held in the V. F. hall Sunday, were, in the opinion (it the writer, ahead of any we have attended for some time. The fact that there were eighteen graduates in the class, and that one of them had the highest rating of anv of the Kth grade graduates in the county, while another stood third in the list, gave ad ded interest to the occasion. The "hull was packed to overflowing with interested parents, friends and spectators, all enjoying to the tidiest the extensive program. Orchestra music was furnished by Messrs. llueberger anil Nusbaiicr and jiiss Doer f lor. There was the usual number of songs, recitations, etc., all pleasing and well rendered. "Tnere Was a Little Girl," an operetta, was an amusing affair, which taught a lesson. It was well given by the children. Recitations by John Susliauer and .Miss Hermcns show ed careful training on the part of the instructors, and were both well received by the audience. The song by the High school class, "Come Where the l.illies Bloom." was given in an excellent manner, and re ceived an encore. The drama "Where Pride Led," was of especial interest, as it was composed and dramatized by Miss Florence Denny, a member of the class, who cxeenentlv took the part of Mrs. O'Donucll. an Irish lady. Sim Kt zel, as Mr. Couldbe. and Angeline Her mens, as Mrs. eouldbe. the parents of a large family, carried their parts well. Miss 1'range as Claire, the eldest (lau ghter, whom pride led to blame the breaking of a dish on a little sister. and who afterwards acknowledged her fault and was forgiven, dul extremely well in her part. All others in the play had their parts well learned and gave an exhibition that would be a credit to older and more experienced persons. Ihe song. "Koses," hv memhers ot the Mh grade class, was given in n very Measing manner, Heurv Steinltamp, valedictorian, gave his address in poet ical toim. It was lull ot good thought and well presented. Hon. K. F. Carlton, assistant super intendent, gave an interesting and in structive address, impressing upon the graduates the value of "Service" in making their wav through life. , ( utility Superintendent Smith follow l with a brief address, congratulating 1, . . 1 , .11 1 , , . , lilt- oco Hi1 01 rMioiiilin oil un- rm-ir weiKin iremoie, wun oarns ana yips anai,,,,,,. f their schools, and the teachers Vacation days will soon begin, and so will the forest fire season. A word of caution to those who will take their outing in the mountains may not be out of place. The first and most important thing to remember and watch is to be careful about fire. There are twenty-six more things to be careful about, but they are all the same, .resulting in "be careful about fire." What ever you do In making a camp fire in the timber do not under any cir cumstances build it against a log, a stump or anything of That kind, for when it gets a good start you cannot put it out. Make your fire away from anything that can catch from it, and as you will always camp near a stream, see that your fire is out, before leaving camp, and injure this by pouring a few buckets of water on it. This building of fires against a handy fallen tree has started more forest fires than any one thing for even with the utmost caution you never can be positive the fire is out for the reason that it may burn under the ground, starting into a dangerous blaze days after you have left it, as you sup posed, safe. After reading part of the democratic platform espec ially the plank about preparedness, Colonel Roosevelt was asked his opinion about it. "I have nothing to say" was the reply, "I am out of politics." The Colonel is pre eminently correct. He is out of politics and out forever so far as his having any influence goes. The ligament of his throat is not the only thing about him that is badly torn. li Welt Mason A LITTLE SLEEP 'v 1'laiuf ieiil. X. . .1.
