A Farmers Opinion on the Fair
Exhibit.

Editor Courier: The proposition to
appropriate three thousand dollars out
of our county funds to defray the ex-
pense Of an exhibit at the Lewis and
Clark fair, should be thoroughly ad-
vertised and we'll understood before
action is taken.
An appropriation of this kind can
be made either blessing or curse.
1t can be made to return big interest
to the entire people if properly
managed, and when such management
is assured, we should give il our
unanimous support. But, if it be a
scheme in the interest of few min
ing speculators we should let il severe
ly alone.
My plan would be to make our irri-
cation and agricultural advantages
the principal features of ADVERTISE
ment Suitable maps showing the
number of acres that could be irri-
gated, would be most valuable help.
Our facilities Tor good roads should
also be we'll represented. AT least
$1,000 of the appropriation should be
used on the roads here at home for the
purpose of demonstrating just what
can be done..
Men who have mines to sell can
we'll afford to ship their ores to Port.
land at their own expense. The man
who has charge Of displays can then
see that all interests are we'll cared
for. The man selected to take charge
of this exhibit should be we'll
qualified for the place. He should
be man who knows something of the
world outside of Oregon. He will
have to answer thousand questions,
and he should be prepared to answer
them politely and intelligently.
People will want to know all about
our soils, our climate, our health,
our roads, our markets, our minerals,
and our various productions; and
they will not be satisfied with super
fetal answers. A good man for this
place ought to be secured for about
$500.

horticultural interests be brought to
the front. Homes for the people
should be the chief purpose OF ali pub.

unused land and water in Josephine
county to accommodate 30, 900 peo-
pie, and there are more than that
number who have made up their
minds to see Oregon during the
present year. Stephen Jewell.

More Ore From Applesate.

A sample of fire appearing free mil
ling ore was left at the Miners Asso-
ciation's minerals exhibit Wednesday
by John Pernoll, merchant at Apple
gate. The ore is from ledge lately
opened up ON China gulch on the
north side of Applegate river seven
miles above Applegate postoffice, by
A. L. Knowing and NJ. Van Gorder.
They have a shaft sunk AZ feet and
the ledge is showing better both in
width and values. Samples are found
that are one-fourth gold and so rich
is the deposit that visitors are not
given a glad welcome if desiring to go
down the shaft. Messrs. Knowing &
Van Gorder have not settled on their
plans, but expect if the showing con-
tinues good, to put in a small mill at
their mine and begin working the ore
early this fall.

To Cheaper Ore Reduction.

ternational Mining Company of Port
land, manufacturers of new make of
mill for grinding ore, and his son, E.
@. Pratt, president of the same
company, arrived in Grants Pass,
Tuesday and were met by Manager
W. I. Perry, who took them to the
Michigan mine. where they will
superintend the installation of one of
their mills in the new mill building
being erected at that mine. President
Pratt desires that his mill, which is
of his invention, be given the best test
possible as this is the first one to be
put in operation in Southern Oregon.
The claim is made for this mill that
for the same horsepower it will handle
more ore and save larger per cent
of values than any other mill now In
use. The experiment will be watched
with much interest by mining men
for If the International mill will do
the work claimed for it, it will great.

PUNISH FALSE REPORTERS
California Has a Law to Punish
Fraudulent Mine Promoters.

California. after having suffered
for years from the effects of irresponsi-
BILE and fraudulent mine promoters,
has at last made that class of fraud a
crime. A law was enacted at the last
session of the. legislature of that state
and which was signed by the COVER
nor that provides heavy penalty for
fraudulent and misleading statements
in prospectuses and in reports made
by directors and superintendents Of
mines. The measure had the strong
support of all classes who are inter-
ested in legitimate mining and it is
expected to stimulate larger invest
ment of capital in the mines OF that
state.
Southern Oregon has suffered long
and deeply at the hands of Wild
cat promoters and for years Legitimate
investors were afraid of mining
proposition no matter how favorable
the showing, least they should be
swindled. 1t is only within the last
few years that the irresponsible pro-
moter with his get-rich- quick PROPOSE
tion, has been checked in his nefa-
rious schemes and confidence given to
legitimate investors to take up South.
ern Oregon properties. And with this
confidence and fair dealing has come
the first real development to the
mineral resources of this district and
now the country is being dotted with
mills that are dividend payers and
that are given the encouragement that
will bring other mills until, as is
possible, there will be mills by the

To Handle Cold Storage Meats.

W. l. Sweetland, to keep ur with
the procession of progress, has given
his meat market in the Masonic block
a complete overhauling and has made
several improvements that adds to
the convenience of his shop,ss we'll as
to its neat appearance and perfect
sanitary condition. His shop is one
of the largest in Southern Oregon and
in the charge of ed Binns, his meat
cutter. it is one Of the best kept.
NeaI his slaughter house on the south
side bank of Rogue river, Mr.. Sweet
land has lard rendering and sausage
making establishment. So much has
his business in this line increased
that the engine and boiler heretofore
in use has become too small and this
week he replaced it with new six
horsepower boiler and engine. This
will give him an ample supply
Of hot water for use about the pre-
m ses and of steam for cooking pur.
poses as well as power.
Mr.. Sweetland is soon to institute
an innovation in the meat trade of
Grants Pass by keeping his meats in
cold storage until in prime condition
for the block, For this purpose he
has rented compartment in Eugene
Cass' cold storage plant that has a
capacity for $4,000 pounds of meat,
All beef, pork, mutton and poultry

work was proceeding rapidly and that
their building was now completed and
that they expected to havo the re-
mainder Of the machinery installed
within the next 80 days and the mill
in operation. Development work is
being steadily carried on and large
quantity of ore is being blocked out as
also large amount placed ON the
dump and in the bins. The ledge is
making most satisfactory showing
both in the ore body aud in the values
and proof is now had that the Michi-

for the benefit of the country at large
the special beneficiaries of those con
citions can always be depended upon
to look after their employees. Labor
then becomes the prime object OF
their solicitude and the labor inter
ests are the great, overshadowing ele
ment of concern.
It is, of course, needless to point
out that in practically every instance
where labor and the railroad compa
MES are dealing between themselves
the labor interests are usually given
the short end of it, anG if they don't
take what they get it is not the fault
of the railroad companies.
But in all this, we must, in this
case, commend the railroad interests
on the frankness with which they not
only admit but argue that labor must
bear the brunt of the company's loss
es. 1t would, of course, be preposter
Gus to expect a $4,000 or $4,000 q
year railroad president to share any
of the burden-a $500 a year brakeman
is so much better able to do it. II
would also be equally preposterouS
to expect a railroad company to econo
mize or hedge any on the corruption
fund which it must have-and which
by the way, the public pays-for the
purpose of controlling legislation both
in the state legislatures and the ma
tional congress.
We have no doubt but that the law
makers in Washington will be deeply
touched by this disinterested solici
tude of the railroad interests for theiI

dictates, we presume the senate has
already been touched sufficiently &C

TO these thoughts, we find in the week.
ly letter of Henry Clews & Co., dated
February Is, he-following on the sub.
5ect:
Probably the most serious thing
th8t could now happen to the railroad
interests would be the passage of a
rate-making bill. Railroad magnates
consider such an enactment would be
an encrOachment Of the government
upon their individual rights, that it has
no business TO interfere between the
railroads and the people further than
to enforce even-handed justice on all
sides. Rate-making would be an IN
Just exercise of government power.
No commission that can be organ

different conditions in innumerable
markets. Again, American railroads
already perform the cheapest and
best service in the world; a most con-
elusive demonstration of the superb
ority of private management over any
paternalistic schemes.
Further. our railroads have over
200, 900 employees and pay about
$500. 600. 900 a year in wages. Should
the government fix the rate and make
it lower the loss would fall chiefly upon
labor, which already receives about
one-half of the gross earnings Of the
roads. There is still another class
who would suffer under such a policy
and that is tle millions of stockhold-
ers whose rights are often entirely
ignored in unreasonable anti-railroad
agitation.
Happily, there is no prospect Of the
Tate-iXing bill becoming law, as the
senate will kill it this session and en-
llghtene0 public opinion the next
Regulation, not control, is the true
