SLAUGHTERING
THE INNOCENTS

Under the guise OF patriotism
there is yet allowed to exist wan
ton destruction of life equal each re-
turning Fourth of July, to the death
toll of a great battle. Wherefor9
1t serves no end. 1t excites no emu
lation to heroic deeds. 1t brings on
ly sorrow and suffering, and that
chiefly to the bystander and to the
little one who does not yet know
danger. By what process of self
deception We continue to make our
selves believe that the annual offer
ing of 5000 victims to the Moloch
of the firecracller is an exhibition Of
our loyalty, it is hard to conceive.
For the past seven years the death
roll has been as follows: 466 in
1903, 1873 in 1904, 1872 in 1905, 15S
in 1906, 164 in 1907, .163 in 1908
and last year 215. OF the injured
there were as follows, for the years
named: 1888, 1856, 4,994, 5,3OS,
4,249, $3.50, 5,O93. Nor were these
injuries all slight Last year 16 vic
tins lost the sight of both eyes, 36
of one eye, Al a limb, 176 lost fin
gers. and 4,S23 recorded less serious
injuries. Tetanus, or lock-jaw,
caused a large proportion GO per
cent? of all deaths during the seven
years. This is due to the fact that
the clay of which the frecracker is
largely made very often carries the
tetanus germs, which, introduced in
to a wound, cause death. This seven
years toll of 1881 deaths and A.
COS injuries is slaughter, uncalled
for, purposeless, wanton. Were it
possible that this sacrificial offering.
largely of little children, might be
gathered into one field of carnage,
civilization would revolt at the bar
barism of the republic. Yet the re-
suits are the same, and year after
year the children are decked out ia
their holiday attire that from their
number Death may reap his harvest
Is it not time that we cease to be-
lieve that this modern offering to the
God of Fire is patriotism?

ABOUT
SALMON UPSET

Astoria, Ore, July 1.-Well estab-
lished theories regarding the life of
salmon have been badly twisted by
facts which have come to light dur
ing the present fishing season on the
Columbia river which is coming to a
close. According to reports of en-
ployees at the various government
fish hatcheries today not less than
Is marked salmon which we're turn
ed out of the Chinook hatcheries
six years ago have been caught in
Baker Bay traps. Heretofore It was
believed that the salmon returned to
the river in which they were
hatched four years afterward. They
are supposed to perish after spawn
ing in their fourth year.
Reports from various fisheries
show that a number of female sal
mon that had spawned were caught
before they reached the upper
reaches of the river. The fish were
in excellent condition. This upsets
the theory that they only spawn in
small streams and then die.

Editor JOurnal:-
The attached newspaper clippings
will serve as an introduction to the
subject at issue.
In this connection have done
some proselyting among the farmers
In the valley in an effort to induce
them to cooperate to have the sys-
tenn of doing the work changed in
making the improvements on the
Willamette River.
The consensus OF opinion of the
peole with whom l talked, was that
the commercial bodies of the cities
along the river should take the mat
ter up; that course being likely to
prove soonest effective, and feeling
myself that If we can get the assist
ance of these organizations in such
a manner and Of sufficient force to
command attention, more can be an-
complished and more readily than
by an unorganized body.
The fact that steamers cannot
now ply on the Willamette River
higher than the city Of Newburg, is
argument enough relative to the con-
dition Of the river.
The question with us is, how shall
the present conditions be ameliorat-
ed. From today, it is likely to be
three or four weeks before an Off
cial communication from Washing
ton reaches the engineers office
at Portland with orders to com
mence work; three weeks more will
be consumed to put the equipment
in order; from one to two weeks will
be required to move the same on to
the work and by that time the low
water, season is nearly at an end,
consequently any money expended |
this season is practically useless and
would be wasted.
The proposition it is desired to
set forth is this: First, that one
man of the engineers corps be
placed in charge of the Willamette
River during his life time or term of
service; as the practice of removing |
men every one or two years who
have gained experience in a given
locality is not conducive to the pub
lie benefit.

The latter clause will be the most

in the economical expenditure of the
money and readiest manner by
which this river can be opened to

OREGON MARBLE
EQUALS EASTERN
j. G. JONES INVESTIGATES QUAR-
RIES OF SOUTHERN PORTION
OF STATE IN SEARCH OF
GRANITE FOR MONUMENT
PURPOSES.

J. c. Jones, who is an acknowl-
edged authority on monumental
marble and GRANTEES, recently re-
turned from an extended trip
through the southern part of the
state where he inspected a number
of different quarries which produce
stone of that nature, and makes a
report of his Investigations which
promise much for Oregon and is
proof of the fact that this state is
destined to be one of the leading
producers Of stone for monumental
purposes in the entire Union.
Mr.. Jones found one quarry that
was producing a granite that was an
exact duplicate of the famous West
ley granite Of Rhode Island, which
is one of the most expensive in the
world. The granite of this quarry
is not only identical in appearance
with the Westley granite but it IS
fully it's equal in every particular.
L ne lSub6 VI bulS 81 ahlIO 10 q A1A 30
one and is capable of producing an
unlimited quantity of valuable stone.
Other quarries were found whose
products closely resemble the famous
Barre granite, which is found at
Barre, Vermont, and used more ex-
tensively in the manufacture of
f1 nt
granite. The products of some Of
these quarries, in addition to being
close duplicate of the Barre gram
ite, Is fully it's equal in appearance
and the quality is even superior.
Samples of marble were found whose
quality was superior to anything
produced in the east, but the ledges
had not yet been developed beyond
the outer surfaces, which were
checked too badly to make the stone
of value for monumental purposes,
but if the same quality of marble is
found in a perfectly solid ledge, 1t
will prove of immense value.
Some of the samples of granite
from this section examined by Mr..
Jones are fully equal to the South
ern Oregon granite, but the ledges
must be further developed before 1t
will prove to be of much commercial
value, as the outer surface is check
ed by numerous seams. 1t is more
than likely that the ledges may be
opened in another place where 1t
will prove solid from the first, or
other ledges discovered which will
be of fully as good a quality. The
owner of such ledge would have an
independent fortune.
The only reason that Oregon
granite is not on the market ex-
tensively, with reputation for the
best of quality that is world wide,
is lack of capital by the companies
that are working the Quarries capable
OF producing g.
This, like other industries of the
state, is in it's infancy, and as soon
as it's possibilities, certainty of sue
cess, and real values are realized,
unlimited capital viii be produced
for It's development and an indus
try will be born which will become
so extensive, that 1t viii, of itself,
make our state wealthy.
Opportunities for profitable iu-
vestment are indeed numerous but
no better opportunity can be found
than along this line and this inn

investor which are worthy of strict
est investigation.-Exe Exchange.

WORKING OVER TAILINGS AT
PITTSBURG-SILVER PEAK

The Pittsburg-Silver Peak COM
pany's cyanide plant at Silver Peak
has been operating steadily for the
last six months on old tailings dumps
at that place. These tailings, of which
there is a large tonnage available, are
the residues of old mills that had been
reducing ores of good grade at various
periods during the last fifty years, and
they are being successfully handled at
a neat profit.
This cyanide plant is in the open,
and comprises a very simple process.
The equipment consists of seven sand
teaching tanks, three solution tanks
and a small centrifugal pump to
handle the solution on a precipitation
press.
The sane is hauled by wagon and
dumped into the tanks. Each tank has
a false bottom, covered with canvas,

ting into the solution. When a tank Is
filed with sand the latter is saturated
with solution, introduced under the
false bottom, percolating upward
After the sand has been Thoroughly
saturated by the solution more OF the
latter is added at the top, and the
effluent solution is run into a tank,
from which it is pumped through the
precipitation press, where the goia'
which was dissolved by the solution
percolating through the gold-bearlng
sand, is precipitated and recovered
when cleaning press.
The sand tanks have a capacity Oh
about thirty-five tons each, and the
plant will handle fifty tons per DAY.
About a dozen men are employed IN
this industry, and the monthly pay fon
