OREGON HAS 217O MINES.
Statistics of Mining Industry Publish
ed nj Washington.

According to the statistical inform
alton furnished by the United States
geological survey bureau at Washing
ton, ID. c., there are 2170 mines OF
different kinds in the state of Oregon,
under development, the greater num-
Der of which are gold and copper,
while In portions OF the state deposits
of some kinds of mineral are found
which do not exist elsewhere In the
United States.
Notable among these latter are the
cobalt mines of Grant county, said TO
be the only discovery of this valuable
mineral that has been found in the
country. Cobalt is used extensively
and is Of great value for coloring pur-
poses and for the arts. 1t is found
in combination with copper, carrying
a large per cent of gold
In his forthcoming biennial report
Labor Commissioner Hoff will COM
ment upon this statistical data as fol-
lows:
"A large number of mines given in
the table are not operated, some hav-
ing been abandoned, and many are
in the first stages of development, on
account of the lack of capital to carry
on the work. Considerable harm has
been done the mining interests OF the
state by INSCRIPTIONS investors and
are responsible for retarding the de-
velopment of the industry generally
1.-THE principal mining counties in
the order of the number of miners
employed are: Baker, Josephine,
jackson, Grant, Lane, Douglas and
Coos. Other counties have extensive
mining interests, and the industry, al
ready of some magnitude. will con-
tinue 10 grow At present there are
about 1870 miners in the state, who
draw an average wage of SO per day.
estimating that they work, on an aver
age, two-thirds of the time, the
amount paid them annually in wages

IN NEED OF HOMES
DESERTS OF THE WEST
YIELD TO DRY FARMING" :"
Arid Tracts In Southern Wyoming
Which Have Long Been Considered
Worthless Are Being Successfully
Reclaimed-Settlcrs Going Into the
Most Forbidding Regions In Their
Great Need of Homes.

That land hunger in the west will
ultimately bring about the settlement
of the most forbidding deserts is
shown by the activity in settlement in
the extremely arid portions of Wy
oming.
Tracts of dry land in southern
wyoming, which have been considered
Absolutely worthless for half a CEN
tury, &c now being settled upon and
converted into homes under the dry
farming" methods now becoming pop
ular in the central west .
The Cheyenne Tribune says of land
office business in that city:
Register w. L. Chaplin of the Chey-
enne land office reports that the de-
mand for land in the vicinity of Chey-
enne is unusually large and that the
number of entries being received for
homesteads in southern Laramie coun-
ty is greater than ever before and Is
evidence of the evolution being ex-
perienced from a cattle grazing to an
agricultural district.
During the past month not less
than 25 filings have been made for
land in the southern part of the coun-
ty. All of these are made under the
homestead act and will be transform
ed into farms under the dry farm
ing system. Many of these filings
are made by residents of this city for
land adjoining Cheyenne, the total
number of acres which have been
filed on being over 5000.
The success of the dry farming ex-
periments which have been carried on
in this section are responsible for the
demand for land in the vicinity of
Cheyenne and as a result every day
filings are made in the local land Of
flee for quarter sections of 100 acres
which will in time become flourishing
farms.
All of this is government land and,
with the 10000 acres to be settled up
through the Cedar Valley Land COM
pany, which yesterday brought 20
Iowa farmers here, and other private
enterprises, 1t does not require a
stretch of Imagination to picture
Cheyenne in the center of large and
prosperous agricultural community.

New York, Oct. 15.-An exhibition
of Jewish life on farms and in the
smaller cities in the United States, ar
ranged by the Baron de Hirsch fund,
the Jewish agricultural and Industrial
aid society and Jewish Educational
alliance was held in the Alliance
building yesterday and today. The
exhibition was held on the roof of the
building and in the exhibition room.
where the products of farms operat-
ed by about 400 Jews in 16 states,
Were on view. Stereopticon views
showed the difference between the
dark and crowded rooms in the tene-
ment district of New York and on the
farms with view to induce the Jews
to leave the crowded sections of the
cities as these pioneer Jews have
done to the great improvement Of
their lives and conditions of living.

DIVIDE WAsCo COUNTY.
Hood River People VIII Renew Ef-
forts for New County.

Hood River people are preparing
TO ride their county division hobby in
to the legislature again, hoping that
the two years rest enjoyed by the
steed has given 1t sufficient strength
to carry past the signatures OF the
speaker of the senate, and finally of
the governor, says the Oregon Daily
Journal. Cascade county is no longer
a dream, the report comes from Hood
River, because conditions have so
changed that there will not be the op-
position to the measure which was re-
sponsible for its defeat at the last ses-
sion.
Mr. Jayncs, who was the county's
champion at the last session, dropped
out of the legislature this time be-
cause the people of Wasco county
nominated another man to take his
place and he therefore will not be
present i'm the house to lead the strug-
gle to place Cascade county on the
map. But he will be I'm Salem, so
the friends of the measure say, and
will try in a quiet way to convince the
legislators that the county is a neces-
sity.
Mosier is to he left out of the new
county this time so it is said, and the
line will be drawn Just east of Hood
River. This will still leave Wasco
county some railroad track to draw
taxes from and at the same time will
not take away so much valuable land
and will leave the mountains mostly
for Wasco to derive her revenue from
1t is hoped by this more equitable d.
vision to placate some of the former
opponents of the new county and
make its creation the more certain.

Great Throng of Delegates in New
Orleans This Week.

New Orleans, Oct. 15.-Perhaps the
largest convention ever held in New
Orleans commenced today, when the
supreme lodge of the knights of
Pythias commenced the business of
their annual council. The gathering
of this remarkable clan was the
means of bringing upwards of 10000
people to this city, where most of
them will remain for the next 10 days,
when the deliberations of the coun-
Gill will come to a close.
In the meantime the uniformed rank
of the order is holding its encamp-
ment in the City Park race track,
where the California, Texas and other
contingents are under canvass. Ev-
cry state, or division of state, is rep

bers of the advanced order of the
Knights of Pythias. All are housed

FISH INDUSTRY
IS THREATENED
STATE LAWS ARE
CONSTANTLY VIOLATED.
Oregon Fish Commission Is Greatly
Discouraged With the Result Of the
Years Work and the Violations Of
the Law-Suggested to Withdraw
All State Aid From the Industry.

A Salem correspondent, in review
ing the serious condition of the fish
industry in oregon, says:
That the salmon industry on the
Columbia river Is seriously endan-
gered by the persistent violation of
the law and by the steady encroach-
ments of power manufacturers, IS
the opinion clearly manifested by
members of the state fish commission,
at their meeting recently.
The ontario hatchery last season
was able to turn out only about L.
OOO,O eggs and had been doing as
take Of eggs dropped to 100000,
and this was divided by five last year.
What this years take will be 1t Is yet
too early to say, but the outlook is
poor. At the Wallowa hatchery, the
other plant on a tributary of the up
per Columbia, a heavy decrease is
noted. The take of eggs this year
will be less than 100000, or not half
of the take of last year.
over fishing and heavy blasting In
railroad construction work are as
signed as the causes of the falling
off in the supply of fish for hatchery
purposes. For one reason or another,
the fish do not get up to the hatcher
les, and eggs cannot be procured.
Violation of the law by fishermen
on the Washington side OF the river
is one of the most serious menaces
now in view. On the oregon side the
10 ig
warden Van Dusen. who also says he
will continue to enforce 1t. In waters
claimed to be within the jurisdiction
of the state OF Washington fishing
goes on during the closed season and
Oregon officials are powerless to stop
1t.
Van Dusen told the commission
that II he had authority and control
over both sides of the Columbia, he
could and would see that fishing
stopped when the open season ended
In the present situation he can en-
force the law only on the Oregon side
of the river.
Perhaps the best thing that could
be done would be to repeal all fish
cry laws and let the fishermen and
packers destroy the Industry II they
want to-" exclaimed one member of
the commission. "a law cannot be
enforced unless 1t has public senti-
ment back OF 1t. and fishing laws
won't have the support of those most
interested until they realize the me-
cessity for such laws and their en-
forcement. One or two seasons OF
fishing without any restrictions
whatever would bring the fishermen
to Salem clamoring for legislation,
and they would soon see that the laws
are obeyed."
As It is, the fish are prevented from
going to their natural spawning
grounds and the hatcheries are una
BILE to get eggs. The state fish COM
missioner is discouraged with the out
look.

At the meeting of the board of re-
gents of the oregon Agricultural col

fore its conclusion President ]. X.
Weatherford, OF Albany, and Secre-
tary John ID. DAILY, Of Corvallis, were

ture, says the oregon Daily Journal.
The new dormitory will have ac-
commodatons for 300 students and
will be equipped In modern style
throughout. II will be in readiness
for college work by next fall.
The meeting last night was called
especially for the consideration of the
crowded condition of the college. An

OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, chronic
kidney disease is the most fatal. In
fact, unless early and correct treatment
is applied, the weary patient seldom
survives.
Being fully aware Of this, Lydia
E. Pinkham, early in her career, gave
exhaustive study TO the subject, and in
producing her great remedy for
woman's ills - Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound-was careful to
see that it contained the correct combi-
nation of herbs which was sure to con-
troll that fatal disease, woman's kidney
troubles. Lydia E. Pinkhams VeRe-
table Compound Is the only one espe.
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by 1t. Derangements Of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backnche, bearing-down pains,
scalding or burning sensations or de.
posits in the urine, unusual thirst,
swelling OF hands and feet, swelling
under the eyes or sharp pains in the
back, running through the groin, she
may infer that her kidneys are affected
and should lose no time in combating
the disease with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, the woman's
remedy for woman's ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is.
Mrs. Samuel Frake, OF Prospect
