A Great Art Industry. 4

Upon crossing the Harvard bridge into
Cambridge the most prominent feature of
the view to the right is the Ivers g Pond
Piano company's factories, the extensive
addition to which is now nearing com
pletion This will give that company be-
tween four and five acres of floor room,
and capacity of upwards of 5000 pianos
a year. AS it lis intended to tax this
capacity to its utmost, it will make the
Ivers & Pond company probably the larg-
est manufacturers Of highest grade pianos
only. in the world. This result has been
brought about by a rigid adherence to one
standard, the highest, the attainment of
which ample capital and over half a cen
fury Of scientific piano building experience
have made possible. Over 300 leading
American educational Institutions use
Ivers & Pond pianos, the New England
Conservatory of Music alone having. in
over twenty years purchased a99 of these
instruments. which, without exaggeration,
may be called the representative Ameri-
can pianoforte. .

BABY A HEALTHY INFANT
Jump-off-Joe Quartz Property
Making Excellent Showing.

The BABY mine" of the Jump.off-
Joe district is being steadily develop
ed under the supervision of q. @.
Higgins, vice president and manager
for the Capital City Gold Mining Co.
of Sacramento, owners of the mine.
The Baby is lusty infant and is
growing with great rapidity and
vigor. The property includes four
claims, about so acres of mineral land,
with about 5000 feet in length ON the
strike of the vein. They have good
water right and about 80 acres Of tim
Der. A tunnel is now being run
which will tap the vein at a depth
of 500 feet At 100 feet in depth the
vein has a width Of five feet, while at
the surface it was less than foot
wide, though the ore was remarkably
rich and yielded large returns from
working by means of an arrastre,
The ore lying between this 100 foot
leyee and the surface is now being
worked in the. two stamp mill with
which the mine is provided. The
rock carries very high values, about
two-thirds free gold, The compile
tion of the lower tunnel, now under
construction, will make this property
a mine of Importance and it will be
ready for large mill and plant.

OREG0N'S TIMBER WEALTH
Pa cific Coast States Richest in
This Resource.

In the United States the heart of
the lumber belt has moved westward.
At the beginning of the last century
almost the entire wood supply came
from the then untouched forests Of
the Penobscot river region of Maine.
AS the woodsmen cut deep into the
heart of the wood the industry was
forced to find other fields from which
to draw its supply, and the virgin
forests Of the South and of the states
bordering on the great Lakes were
cut into Although these regions are
by no means depleted today, the
Pacific coast is rapidly becoming the
heart of the lumber trade. And what
wonder, for in the three states of
Oregon, California and Washington
there is at least one-third Of the entire
supply of standing timber in the
United States In figures, it amounts
to more than 600, 600, 900, 600 feet Of
uncut wood.
The forest reserves and national
parks set apart by the United States
Government within the limits Of
these three states aggregate an area
of 32, 1928 square miles, or more than
% per cent Of the total wooded area
of the states. In the state of Oregon
alone, where careful examination
has been made, the national census
officials have estimated the standing
timber ON these reservations at 30,
900, 600, 600 feet, or one-fourth of the
states total supply. Review of Re

MEADER'S BRUSH BURNER
Medford Mans Contriyance for
Cleaning Orcha rds.

II. f. Meader, one of the proprie.
tors Of the Clay -Meader orchards, has
invented a great labor saving contri.
vance for burning brush. Every or.
chardist knows Of the amount Of
work involved at pruning time in
hauling the brush from the orchards to
a burning place. Mr.. Meader's in
yention is made Of old wagon tires
aud in shape resembles a large bushel
basket. II is five by eight feet In size
and % feot high but this, Mr. Meader
says is little too small. The basket
Is arranged on sled and is dragged
about the orchard by horse. A fire
is first kindled in the basket with
some light material and then the
brush is gathered aud piled on. The
brush is quickly consumed and not
enough heat is made at one time 10 in
any way effect the trees, between the
rows Of which the sled is drawn. %

A Maine Statesman on Pro-
hibiton.

No stronger Endorsement OF the pro-
hibitory law of Maine is needed than
the utterances Of Hon. Joseph II.
Manly. He has for many years been
a prominent and influential republican
leader. He says;
~ believe the ideal condition
would be the absolute prevention of
the use Of alcoholic beverages. The
great majority of the people OF the
state of Maine believe that the way
to secure this ideal condition is by
the prohibition Of the manufacture
and sale OF alcoholic liquors within
the state. l say the majority Of the
people have voted whenever the ques.
tion arose. In 1851 this law was
first put upon the statute books. II
was amended In 1855, but in the fall
Of the same year IL went back upon
the statute books by the direct vote Of
the people. There 1t has remained
ever since, amended and made stronger
from time to time. In 1854 10 was
made an integral part Of our state
constitution by an overwhelming
majority.
"What IL the condition todayf
There are nearly 400 towns and 70
plantations in our state in which
liquor is not sold. In the cities and
few Of the larger towns, liquor Ia
sold, except in Cumberland county.
For instance, in Augusta, Bangor,
Bath and Lewiston, liquor is sold.
This is absolutely wrong. The pro-
bibitoTy laws apply as we'll TO Augusta
a. to winslow, and should be equally
"a stringently enforced in the one
place as in the other. Some people
say it is impossible to enforce these
laws in the cities say, look at
what has been done in Cumberland
during the last IS months What one
sheriff has done, another sheriff can do.
No law escapes violation. Murder,
arson, and robbery will be committed,
but we can enforce the proibitory law
just as we'll rs we can our laws
against othher crimes
The condition which we find today
is the enforcement Of these laws and
nullifcation in the cities. These
conditions are intolerable, and be-
lieve the people Of our state are
determined to change them. Just AZ
long as these prohibitory laws are
on our statute books they should be
enforced by the proper officers Of the
! law, -

isod The bad state Of the roads
hitherto has been an obstacle to the

in town. Tho Grants Pass Board Of
Trade is anxious to receive all the
specimens possible for the Portland
exhibit and all who have specimens,
either mineral or otherwise, are re-
quested to bring Or send them in as
soon as possible. Speciments for ex-
hibit should bo labelled with the
name Of the donor and IL mineral,
with the name Of the mine and min
ing district. They should be left at
the store of X. Thomas, who will see
that they are sent to Portland at an
early date. II would be well IL ar
rangements could be made in every
camp for some person in a central
place to receive and take care of
specimens.

ROAD TO MOUNT REUBEN
Leland Route the Most Feasible.
Road Will Be Built

The mine owners of the Mt Reuben
district are anxious for a wagon road
between Mt. Reuben and Leland an d
have promised, II the county will
build the road between Leland and
Reuben creek, they themselves will
extend the road to the mines The
traffic Of the Gold Bug, the Copper
Stain, and other mines Of this district
Is considerable. There has been a
road between the Gold Bug and Glen
dale but the floods Of the winter have
almost completely demolished il, 80
that its reconstruction is almost
equivalent to building a new road.
The Leland route is the best Of the
two and in the case Of most Of the
mines, the shortest. The ground on
this side Of the mountain is much
better for road construction and an
easy grade may be secured. The
matter was presented 10 the county
court last week by committee from
the board Of trade, who received the
assurance that there was $500 appro-
priated and ready to be used when
the people Of that district fulfill the
conditions proposed.
