oreson's Mineral Wealth.

Emma Secl1le Marshall in Sunset Maga-
 zine for July.
 Not alone is Oregon rich in gold and silver, but as early as 1855 coal was being mined in Coos county, and experts declarel that imense beds of the finest Ignite willy be found in adjoining counties when in- creased population shall have cleared away the dense underbrush and trans portation facilities shall have rendered the search easier of prosecution. There is scarcely a county in the state that does not contain one or more minerals worth the expense of securing. Copper is one of the most important and the moun- tains of Southern Oregon are full of it. Near Ashland and Grants Pass are very rich mines of gold, silver, copper and cinnabar. Of other minerals that have been developed are nickel, platinum, which Is found in minute quantities in many of the placer claims, quicksilver, iron ore. and borax. In addition to these the following minerals are found in vary- ing qualities and many of them will, when developed. add materially to the wealth of the state, and prove lodestars to attract not only capital but labor: Limestone, building stone, andesite. iron pyrites. yellow ochre, galena, potter's clay. jet manganese ore, brick clay, natural cement, lead ores. graphite, antimony, in- fusorial earth, heavy spar, marble, zinc ores magnetic iron. nitrate beds, aka line salts, hesste, salt. and mineral waters of great medicinal value.

WALTER MOORE TALKS
 OF POLICE COMMISSION
Says the Mayor and Board of Aldermen Should Elect the Com
 missioners.

Walter Moore, alderman from the Fourth ward, in commenting last night on the proper method of electing police commissions in American cities, and especially in Birmingham, said that he was emphatically opposed to the plan that now obtains here.
 MT. Moore stated that he was in favor of repeating the law creating the Bir- mingham police commission and of plac- ing the responsibility of electing the commission upon the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of this city.
 q do not care to comment, directly or irdirectly," said MT. Moore upon a re- cent incident, but l have no hesitation whatever in expressing my views of the manner in which the commission Is now elected.
 T am unqualifledly opposed to the law which makes the commission a creature of the legislature and independent of the municipal authorities. I am emphatically in favor of repeating the law which was intended to take the commission out of polities'-not because I want to see the commission in politics but because l de- sire to have the police arm of the city social life under the direct jurisdiction and authority of the Mayor and Board or Aldermen.
 .'rhe whole tendency in municipal gov ernment in the country has been and is now to concentrate the police power ira the hands of persons chosen to ad- minister municipal affairs, and to make the police department subject to the Will eithe. of the mayor or of the mayor and the City Council. l sympathize with that tendency. because l believe 1t repre- scnts the ripe experience of persons who have had to do with police administra- tion

ban, because for one thing, they are powerful attractors of students. Big athletic events bring the college very prominently into public notice. The an- nual Princeton football game, for example, obtains more space in leading newspapers than the commencement ex-
 ercises of either probably of both com
 bined. Everybody Is interested in 1t and
 talks about it; and 1t Is no more than natural that a healthy youth should pre- fer to chose an alma mater whom some
 body has heard the name of. Popularly speaking. a good team Is one of the best advertisements college can have. and

 type are very well aware of 1t.
 But above this somewhat utilitarian reason, there Is another and higher one.
 Athletic sports, even under conditions
 far from ideal are a good thing for
 college and an excellent thing for the men who take hand in them. To the college they bring an increase in college spirit, a unifcaton and centralization of
 interest a lesson of individual sacrifice
 to the common good of all. To the player
 they bring physical improvement of un-
 mistakable value in the future task of
 earning a living. and, unless he is hope
 lessly the wrong sort. growth in
 courage, in fairness, In mental alertness
 ana self-reliance and personal efd-
 ciency. No one has yet succeeded in
 showing that good college athlete goes
 out into the world less fitted for playing
 worthy part In the battle of life than
 one who has been merely a good student.
 On the other hand, statistics compiled
 year or two from Who's Who in
 America" in regard to the later careers of members of Harvard crews, developed the interesting fact, if we remember alright, that the percentage of oarsmen who had made what would commonly be regarded as success in life," was far larger than the percentage of success ful members of the college honorary scholarship society.
 As to the ''demoralizlng influences" which President Wright rather vaguely mentions in this connection, we are not sure that we know just what he means. if he has in mind, however the drift to- ward commercialism in athletics, of which we had something to say in these columns some time ago, we are heartily in accord with him. Commercialism has no place in sport and ought to be stamped out on sight.
 We are still more opposed, of course. to trickery and slugging on the field, but athletics must not be abolished, because of needless abuses.
 The way to get the best out of under graduate athletics, we beYieve, Is not to abolish, but to reform. Cut out the pro- fessional coach; do away with the coll lege agents" proselytisting visits to the prep school; have an end to this perni- cious determination to win at any cost. Let us return to the old conception of sport as a gentleman's pastime, counting

COLLEGE ATHLETICS.
President Carroll D. Wright Inclined to
 Be Despondent.

From the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
 Hon. Carroll D. Wright, ex-commis- sioner of labor, and now a college presi- dent, is inclined to be Responded over the part that athletic sports are playing in the American university. In an address on Thursday before the American insti- ute of instruction, he referred to the demoralizing influence of college athletics, hnted at unfortunate "hpysical conse quences' likely to result to players, and concluded that competitive games ought to be abolished. As to the athletics in general he Is plainly not over enthus iastic, but upon competitive athletics he would lay down flat veto.
 It Is obvious that here is a distinc- ton without a difference. The difficultS with the learned doctors theory is, in short that competition is the very heart and soul of all athletics. Atheletics is competition; and the competitive spirit is no more real oftent no more keen, in big match betweenA a couple Of crack college teams, than in a good game of backyard shinny. Eliminate competition and you obliterate athletics; and the mus cular hero is degraded to a pair of dumb bells and dull half an hour daily at ohest-welghts.
 We hope that President Wright wouls not really reduce athletics to this dreary residuum. How fiat, stale and utterly un- alluring would be the athletes life then how unstored and unsung! If President Wright runs his own Clark college on this basis. we are sure that it must be a very polxey place to go to school II is comforting to think, however. that we needn't go there; and that there would te no immediate likelihood that any of the important colleges would follow Clark's example.

HONOR OF RAcEcoERs.
Bills Blown Away by the Wind Were
 All Returned.

From the New York Sun.
 Exactly s5,2O0 in greenbacks of all de- nominations blew through the betting ring an hour before the first race, caus- ing the widest kind of stampede among the early arrivals at the Brighton track and throwing the cashier of Silver Bill Rielly into a temporary state of nervous prostration. The cashier had the money in a bundle in his inside pocket, and when he drew it out to put 1t in the tin cash box the roll slipped from his fingers in some unaccountable manner, and the gale which swept through the big ring toward the ocean whisked the money away so quickly that the cashier could not regain 1t.
 "Helpr' gasped the cashier, who was ashen pale and trembling like a leaf. The crowd saw the bills flying through the air and across the dusty floor, and there was an immediate rush for them.

When the last bill had been returned the cashier went to John Cavanaghs private room and counted the roll. Not dollar was missing, and when the bank roll was restored to the cash box Silver Bill, who had arrived In the midst of the confusion sat upon the box
