lumber mill in Dallas with capacity

MANY NOW DESERT.
Army is Little Considered in Time of
Peace by Americans.

Army is Little Considered in Time of
Peace by Americans.
Washington, Oct. 3l.-Major Gen
eral +. c. Ainsworth, the m ltary Sec
retary, in his annual rep 'rt, devotes
much attention to desertions from the
army. "Those who know how the cam
teen came to be abolished" he says,
''are not hopeful of its restoration !;
there is no likelihood of any such in
crease in the soldiers pay as will offset
the greater inducement offered in civil
pursuits; the comforts and even luxur-
in our service are even now criticised
by some as being not only extravagant
but injurious in their effect on men
whose real business is to fight and
march, encumbered with few comforts
and no luxuries; and the discipline
and instruction to which the soldier is
now subjected are not likely to be re-
laxed IN future.
"Our people have little real interest
in the army in time of peace, and from
the earliest day OF the republic have
been accustomed to look upon it as a
more or less unnecessary institution.
Enlistments in the army in time of
peace is not uncommonly regarded as
evidence of worthlessness on the part
of the recruit.
1T is safe to predict that desertions
from the army will continue to be ex-
cessive until there shall have been a
radical change of public sentiment to-
ward the army and until the deserter
shall come to be regarded as the Grim
inal that he is, to be ostracized and
hunted down as relentlessly as any
other transgressor of the laws"

FIRST SHIPMENT OF COPPER,
Douglas Mining Firm Sends Three
Tons to Tacoma SmeIter.


Glendale-Swank 4 Burnett have
made the first shipment of copper ore
ever sent from this vicinity to the Ia
coma Smelling company. The ship
ment consisted of three tons of ore, es.
timated to average above 80 per cent
pure copper, though goodly portion of
it is upward of 40 per cent.
These men have not an extensive de-
posit of this ore, but from such devel-
opment of their property as has been
made the owners are confident they
have valuable mine and that further
tunneling will develop more extensive
deposit. Large deposits of copper ore
have been discovered in a number of
places within few miles of Glendale,
but so far none have been found that
warrant extensive development, though
it is believed that such will yet be dis
covered.
The location of the deposit from
which the above ore comes is about 18
miles east of Glendale, on the west eide
OF Green mountain, mountain mined
and prospected for gold for the last 20
years, more or less.

Rich Ledge in Mohawk Valley.

Eugene - Residents of the Mohawk
valley, in the vicinity of Marcola,
about 20 miles northeast of Eugene,
are considerably excited over the dis
covery of gold bearing quatrz in the
hills in that locality. When pounded
with a hammer, gold in large quanti-
ties can be seen in the quartz. Ex-
perienced mining men say the ore is
rich, and if the ledge is found to be
extensive, there will be a big rush of
people there to secure claims. No
assays have yet been made, but the ore
taken out is apparently rich.

Germany May Help Nicholas.

= London, Oct. 80. - Germany has
massed 100,00 troops along the Rus
sian frontier. The kaiser, it is he
lieved, has offered to intervene in Rus
sia to restore the autocracy and to over
throw any revolutionary government
that may he set up. 1t is feared that
as last resort the czar will accept the
kaiser's offer. Should the kaiser un-
dertake to reconquer the cars empire
for him, there would be created stu
alton of appalling complications.

the generosity of friends of the move

Salem - Within the next few days
the prisoners at the penitentiary will
be garbed in new uniforms of a blue
gray color, minus the stripes. The new
uniforms are now being made in the
prison tailor shop. The solid color
uniform is an innovation, and at the
same time concession to the well be-
haved prisoners. Hereafter only re-
fractory inmates will be obliged to wear

More Automobile Records SmRshe,

More Automobile Records Smashed
 Than Ever Before.
 Ormond, Fla, Jan. f31.-The greatest automobile meeting ever held in this country so far as smashing records is concerned, closed here this afternoon.
 The last performance was the run ming of a mile in 32 4-5 seconds by H. I, Bowden in his twin. sixty-horsepow- CT car. After the days events had been finished he asked permission of the officials to try for the kilometer and mile records and the course was cleared for him.
 He took a good flying start and as he tripped the wire of the automatic tim ming machine the crowd expected a new worlds record, for the car was going faster than the speed of a hur- ricane. Unfortunately the kilometer time was not caught on the automatic, but several watches gave it as 20 3-4 seconds, the worlds record being 21 1-5.
 The previous mile record was clipped considerably until the opening of this meeting 1t was 39, fiat, made last year by w K. Vanderbilt Last week Ar thur E. Macdonald trimmed 1t down to 34 2-5 and soon after Mir. Bowden knocked off another fifth. Since then he expressed the opinion that he could do 1t in 33 seconds or under. Today he did it.
 Young Macdonald was also to have tried for a worlds kilometer and mile record, but certain parts of his engine became strained. He made the attempt, however, making the kilometer In 25 2-5. The automatic failed on the mile. which was not taken
 The ten mile record was again smash ed to pieces this morning. It was in the final Ormond Derby for the Major Miller trophy.

He was second in the ten-mile Ormond Derby this morning. finishing in SIS 1-5. beating his own fine record of few days ago.
 It seems the order of things now for worlds records to be established each year on the Ormond beach These re- cords are tried for at other meets at home and abroad. but it remains for new machines to come here and lower the records. All are agreed that there is no such a speedway on earth as the stretch along this coast from here to Mosquito Inlet.
