A GREAT MINING SECTION , Coos county is having a small mining excitement, and presumably it has considerable merit behind it. Coos, Curry, Jackson and Josephine counties contain the great fr?, unexpiorea ana least unaerscooa mining cuon m me i by pubiication of the delinquent tax list when as a matter C. S Jackson, head of the Bolshevik element in this state, and publisher of its organ, the Portland Daily Journal, is engaged in initiating a bill to make it unlaw ful to advertise delinquent taxes. Some of his workers are going over the state getting signatures to these initiative petitions and they misrepresent the facts as brazenly, in order to secure names, as their renegade em ployer does in the columns of his newspaper. The true facts are that the tax lien speculators, abstractors who thrive on mixed titles and court house rings have been trying to prevent publication of the delinquent tax list, for years. Session after session their lobby shows up at the legislature and no doubt they are paying the heavy expenses of initiating the present bill in the name of their tool Jackson. They want the delinquent taxpayer sold out in the dark without notice, that they may grow rich from the inside knowledge passed out by the official They tell the taxpayers they are being robbed United States. There are drifts and prospect holes scat tered over the Siskiyous and the contiguous mountains that were they in Nevada would start, a veritable White Pine rush. As a matter of fact such prospects as the counties above named can show would cause a stampede were they anywhere save in Oregon. Just why Oregon should be looked upon with such disfavor by mining men generally, cannot be explained. One reason is that no really great mine has been opened. Most of the miners are prospectors, and poor men. About all the ores they try to handle are those that are "free." Some of these have made splendid showings but the big copper de posits and those of lead and zinc have not been touched. Up in Baker county are copper mines showing immense bodies of high grade ore, but they belong to some of the big companies and are held for working when other mines owned by the same persons are exhausted. It is the same in Southern Oregon, though that section is an unknown land to the big mining men and companies. Some day little Curry couty will show the world the greatest copper deposits it has ever seen uncovered. Most of the Siskiyou range is rather remote from rail roads and in fact from any other real road system, hence it is but little explored by the big fellows in the mining business. "The dog has been given a bad name," and it sticks. Say Oregon mines to a mining engineer and he will laugh at you nine times out of ten. He will do this without knowing anything of the subject either. Some day this will be changed and Oregon will show the world that she is in mining as in most other things "first over the top." ' j . By JAKE PHELPS - ITheWcmanWlio Changed; DRESSED FOS THE DANCE. of fact the charge for publication is not against the public treasury at all but against the delinquent taxpayer per sonally. It even protects the latter because if his property is sold the sale will be duly advertised for four weeks in a newspaper and he thus has every chance to protect himself. The gang of speculators, represented by Jack son wants to sell the property of hard-pressed or careless taxpayers without giving him the benefit of any public notice at all PROGRESS IN WAR WORK America has built up from almost nothing an army of over 2,000,000 men in little more than a year. One million of these men are now in the war zone in France ana others are going over at the rate of 200,000 monthly. In spite of the mouthing of Teddy Roosevelt and the misrepresentations of the partisan and pro-German press, regarding progress of the aircraft bureau, there are over l,o00 American planes in France and over 3,700 in use in the training camps of this country. These facts are gleaned from the report of Chairman Dent, of the house committee on military affairs. In brief the report shows from a nucleus of a regular army of 127,588 officers and men, and a national guard of 182, 420 officers and men April 1, 1917, the United States has formed a mighty fighting force totalling 2,0:50,027, with appropriations framed to provide readily for ..'$,000,000 this year. However, the president's power will be such as to permit him to extend to any figure he sees fit, pro videa the committees lavorabie recommendation is followed. The report also shows 1,316 American flying machines in France, including over 300 combat planes, while there are more than 3,700 machines in this country. The report listed the aviation personnel as 12,107 officers, and 136, 761 men, including 4054 flyers, while there are 27 aviation camps in the country. Chairman Dent pointed out that while mistakes and delays had occurred, "we think the country is to be con gratulated that, after a little more than a year from the date of the declaration of war, our country has con structed a wonderful military establishment" Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason The new revenue bill is not to be taken up by congress until Fall. Both sides, it is claimed, are afraid to face the country at the Fall election after passing such a revenue U1 as is necessary. This seems like an idle fear, for tV people know a vast sum of money must be raised, and they will not kick at the methods employed. They ex pect to pay the bill, and the fellow who hampers the rais ing of the money in any way will be the one to feel the effect of the people's anger.

AN IMMORAL MAN " Old Hindenburg, whom Teutons praise, should draw ten dollars or ten days. . His name each day, in lurid tints, appears in all the public prints, and always linked with some punk deed that makes the reader s bosom bleed. He is so keen to fight and slay, he desecrates the Sabbath day, and makes men in the trenches work, who'd rather be attending kirk.' ..His misdemean ors never cease; some new listurbance of the peace is charged against him every day; he shoos the statute books away. Dis own masques charging firearms is his fad; although there is in every grad a law forbidding men to shoot but laws don't worry that old Teut. He tres passes on farmers' land, and spoils the crops to beat the nana. Jo Hunting ' signs he doubtless sees, tor they are nailed up on the trees, but signs don't stop this law less Hun, with his long range breech loading gun. We may be sticklers, even cranks, but we grow weary of his pranks. A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men, but when a cut-up takes no rest, but plays his tricks with growing zest, and spoils our hats, and steals our sheep, and fires our whiskers while we sleep, our patience soon or late will fail, and we'll escort him to the jail.

President Wilson called a sudden conference of Secretaries Baker, Daniels and Lansing in Lansing's office thie afternoon, at which he was present. He previously visited each of the secretaries in turn. No official intima tion of the unusual event was giveu out. CHAPTEH LXXXriL I sever dressed so hurridly in my life nor with such calmness. I was so angry, I was cold as a stone. "I will show Julia Collins," I mumbled over and over, as I rearranged my hair and changed my stockings and slippers. I had decided to wear a dress the color of the sea when the sun is on the water. It was one that George had admired when it had been sent home. There was a lovely ornament for my hair, with it and I wore my pearls. I threw a won derful wrap of Softest silk and chiffon over my shoulders, and hurried down stairs just in tlm to meet George and Mrs. Collins as they came out of the dining room. 1 saw that same look of pride, in George 's eyes, that I had surprised on 0110 or two other occasions. But Mrs. Collins looked as if she could cut my life short without a tremor. "That is better," George said, so low that she didn't hear. I purposely kept my wrap closely about me until we reached the casino. When George took it from my shoulders I saw a malignant look leap into her eyes, gon.5 almost as soou as it came. I was more than delighted when I saw Clark Huntington making his way toward us. A Satisfactory Evening. "What luck! When did you arrive!" he asked, after greeting us. "Today," Mrs. Collins answered. "It is quite gay for so early in the season is it not" "Vry." Then, as he spoko of the people she knew, who wero dancing, I said to George: Come dear, you and I must have the first dance together. After that, I sup pose I shall have to resign you to your friends. As we whirled awav, I caught a look of almost utter stupefaction upon Mrs. Collins' face, It raised my spirits wonderfully. ' 1 ou are looking charming, Helen. That dress is most becoming," George said to me, thereby increasing my con tent. But he did not mention my deceit at tho dinner table, and neither did I. After the-daneo was over, George in troduced me to several of his friends. I danced with th.?m all but gave Clark Huntington the preference. "What possessed you to come with Mrs. Collins f " he asked. "Whvf" ! "Oh Well I don't suppose I should say it, but she used to be such a pal of" your husband's tn all these places. It is clev..T of her, all right, to tag along now that he's married." Clark hadn't much tact at any time. When I grew old er, I realized how much more tactless had been that particular speech. George came for me at supper time. I could depend on him for the proprie ties. In some way, I would turn the tables on Julia Collins bfore we left. I should b even willing to have Georg.? send for Mrs. Sextoa to help me, rather than to fail! 1 had a delightful evening in spite of her, however, It was almost morning when we retifrncd to th.e hotel. George warned me to sleep late. "You will lose your looks, if you do not," he said as he kissed me good night. All My Theories Upset The next day I was sitting on the wid? veranda of the hotel, wailing for George to come to luncheon with me, when I overheard a conversation be tween Julia Colins and another woman. j Nither of them knew I was there (a ' giant palm hid me from them.) "No! A woman is a fool to xia her self down with children," Julia Collins said. "A man gets to going out aloue, and leaving her at home. I know dozens of unhappy married people who date their uuhappiness from the time the wife was unable to go about with her I husband because a child was expected." ! I got up quietly and escaped to my room. I had so longed for a child. Ever since I had talked with that woman on the train, aud seeu the deliglit with which tho young husband aud faeher had greeted his baby, I had longed with all my heart to have this additional claim on my husband's love. But my theories were all upset. Thes,o women were women of the world; they evidently knew what they were talking about. A wave of almost nausea raized upon me. I was so ignorant, it seemed, of ALL that made up the lives of these women. Why, at home,-to have a baby in the house was the greatest happiness the young-wife could have. I recalled the fuss wo all mailo over a bride when her first baby came, and tears filled my eyes as I thought I never would know anything of that joy; I MUST keep as much of my husband's love as I had. I could' not risk it in any way.
