Josephine County Comes Second in
the Production OF Colo In
Oregon.

Oregon has lately been producing
from 100000 to $1,0O0,00O annual
ly in gold; from 10000 to $4,000
fine ounces Of silver; from 100000
to 100000 pounds of copper; and a
small quantity Of lead. In 1908
there was a material falling off In
the quantity of ore mined and work
ed. An improvement in silver out
put is expected from the returns of
1909, but the gold production has
apparently decreased. Baker county
continues to be the greatest gold
producer Of the state, the principal
source being quartz mines. Over
half OF the gold output of late has
been derived from Baker county
alone. Josephine county, the second
largest producer, relies mainly on its
placers for its rank in gold produc-

MURPHY.

D. O. Hayes has sold his farm one
half mile west of Murphy to Ernest
Loughridge. The purchase price was
$1,000.
Work has been suspended on the
Alder Gulch Mining and Tunnel Co. s
mine for few days, but will be re-
commenced soon.
Gilmore Bros. have just finished
grubbing contract for viii and

It's too bad the weather man had
to butt in and put a stop to the
work being done on the road between
Murphy and the county seat for of
all the bad roads in the county the
seven miles from here in are un-
doubtedly the worst.

NouraIgia of the POcketbOok.

copyright, 1910, by Lewis D. Samp-
son Editor Town Development)
Neuralgia of the Pocketbook dif-
fers from all other known diseases,
1t attacks the patient in the region
of the ventral, or the dorsal, jeans
The pain is almost unbearable, and
often superinduces excitement OF the
heart-if there is heart.
In its malignant form the disease
not only affects the sufferer, but
also gives his neighbors a pain.
Doctors confess they have no spe"i-
fic for Neuralgia Of the Pocketbook'
| It battles the medical profession.
A popularity of the dread disease
is that it is prevalent mainly among
the well-to-do.
The patients never fully recover
and they never die-young. Either
event would be a welcome relief to
| the community
Town Development has observed
that the malady is greatly aggravated
In progressive town.
The atmosphere of public enter
prise does not agree with the pa
tients.
1t is apt to penetrate their sensi-
tive pocketbooks.
A chamber of commerce is an eye
sore to them.
Development plans make them
timid and retiring.
They frequently retire to back
streets and private offices while the
subscription paper is being passed
around-so that it will pass.
1t has been proposed to colonize
all such unfortunates.
But no place in the civilized world
wants them.
The ideal retreat would be a quiet
peaceful, thoroughly dead town, in
hot climate, where the houses have
no doors, and lawn mowers, baby
carriages, wheelbarrows, apple carts
and ideas have never been intro
duced, and where, therefore, 1t is un.
necessary ever to push ANYTHING
Here Is a chance for a dead town
to be made famous-as the home OF
the tightwad!
Lots of towns have lots of tight.
wads, but no town has them all.

Civil Service Pensions.

A dispatch from the national capi-
tai says that each year we get near
er to the establishment of a "civil
pension list" or at first it may be
called civil service retirement"
There are hundreds of clerks in the
departments who, by reason of old
age, or being otherwise incapacitated,
are charge upon the government,
and whose salaries are practically
pensions. So evident has this become
that it does not need any argument
to convince congress that something
ought to be done to relieve the sltu-
alton. But congress hesitates to es-
tablish a civil pensions list. There
Is something in the name that is fear
some, just as ship subsidy" scares
a lot of congressman.

High Prices Of Ncccssaries Of Life.

High Prices of NeCcssaries of Life.
The high prices are driving people
from the cities into the country to
make their living on the farms.
Never before in the history of the
country has so many been giving IN
city life TO become farmers and fruit
growers, The high prices which are
constantly increasing have alarmed
the people and made them feel that
earning a livelihood in the cities was
not to be depended upon and this ac-
counts for the demand for homes in
the country, especially on the Pacific
Coast.
Congress has taken up this mat
ter of the rapid advance in the price
of food products and there will be
an investigation along the line of the
high and increasing cost of the neces-
saries of life.
Chairman Smith of the house com
mittee on the District of Columbia
has appointed the following sub-com-
mittee; Representatives Moore of
Pennsylvania, chairman; Pearre Of
Maryland, Wiley of New Jersey. 'Cou-
drey of Missouri Johnson of Ken
tuckey, Rothermel of Pennsylvania

introduced a bill prohibiting the stor-
age Of perishable foodstuffs in the

period than six months. This bin will
be the basis Of the inquiry.

Kodol For Dyspepsia
Will Relieve You Almost Instantly.

Kodol supplies the same digestive
juices that are found in a healthy
stomach. Being q liquid, 1t starts
digestion at once.
Kodol not only digests your food,
but helps you enjoy every mouthful
you eat.
You need q sufficient amount OF
good, wholesome food to maintain
strength and health.
But, this food must be dlgested
thoroughly, otherwise the pains Of
indigestion and dyspepsia are the
result.
When your stomach cannot do It's
work properly, take something to
help your stomach. Kodol Is the
only thing that viii give the stom.

ton. having many large and produc-
tive hydraulic mines in operation.
The number of placer mines in the
state is increasing, but the number
of quart mines remains about the
same. There are less than 250 pro-
ductiye mines of all classes in Ore
gon. The main decrease in gold out
nut has recently been In deep min
ing operations, though 1t Is also
shown in hydraulic mining. The
lessened yield has not been due to
cessation of work on any important
mines, but to a general reduction In
the yield of many large and small
mines. The average output Of metal
per ton of the ore mined has IN
creased in recent years, though the
quantity milled has been much less,
Some of the operators ran their re-
duction plants for only a portion Of
1908, but were developing and pre-
pairing for steady runs in 1909.
The counties of northeastern Ore
gon, including Baker, are more pro-
ductive than tho group included In
southwestern Oregon. The largest
producer Of silver is Grant county.
but the yield of Baker county is only
slightly less. The low price or cop
per has caused a material reduction
in OUTPUT of this metal in Josephine
county, which is usually the largest
producer. There are now Is coun-
ties in Oregon which are making an
annual mineral output.
The estimates of the mint indicate
gold output in Oregon in 1909 Of
s712,900, against $905,900 in 1908,
and silver production of 71,100
fine ounces in 1909, against $1,000
fine ounces in 1908.

The Evening Newspaper.
(Oregon Daily Journal, January
25. 191O.l

25, 1910D
The evening week day newspaper
is becoming more and more the one
OF satisfaction and value, not only
to the rest of the family, but to the
man of business himself-perhaps,
indeed, especially to him. In the
morning he has little time to read.
He can scarcely do more than glance
at the headlines during his breakfast,
for there are the other members OF
the family to visit with little, and
he has no time to loiter over the
meal; as soon as It Is concluded he Is
off to business. This occupies him
completely through the day, and 1t Is
only after he has gone home, has
had his dinner, has become comfort
ably seated in his favorte chair and
donned slippers and shed his coat,
and as he smokes his post-prandial
cigar, If he smokes, that his is ready
to peruse the worlds news. This he
can then do deliberately, reflectively
enjoyably, recreatively. He reads
first, perhaps, what interests him
most, or he may take it seriatum.
But without haste and taking time
to digest the matter, as he has eaten
his dinner, he reads the local news,
the national news, the foreign news,
the editorials and the jokes. And be
sure that he does not omit the ad-
vertisements Whoever he Is, what
ever his business, some at least of
these will interest him His wife
has probably read such of them as
interested her before dinner Next
morning again, except Sunday morn
ing, the man not only has little or
no time to read a big newspaper,
but he has read the greater part of
the news the evening before, and
doesn't need to read It, These are
some Of the reasons why the bust
ness man as well as the wife and
children are best suited and served
by an evening paper,

REPRESENTATIONS
WIDE OF FACTS

IAN impression that the national
forests contain large areas of agricul-
tural land to the exclusion OF settle
ment and large areas of untimbered
grazing land unjustifiably brought
within the national forest bound
aries for the sake of grazing has
gained wide currency" says secre-
tary Of Agriculture James Wilson in
his annual report just made to the
president.
TO satisfy myself on the ground
as to the facts made personal in
yestigation OF these matters during
the past summer in the states of
Idaho and Wyoming. Presumably,
the time will come when some por-
tous Of the present forests can with
benefit to the community be con-
verted into farms. Through dry
farming, plant breeding and the In
PRODUCTION OF new forms OF useful
and drought-enduring vegetation,
agriculture is steadily gaining upon
the desert and may be expected 70
gain on the forest In semi-arid re-
gions. Growth in population also
will bring an increasing demand for
farm land. But II will also bring
an increasing demand for timber and
water conservation. The present is
moe the time to decide where the
line should finally be drawn.
