POLITICIANS WANT 1T.

The Oregonian is now printing in
terviews from different men in vari-
Gus parts of the state favoring the
assembly plan. Some of the men in
terviewed are real leaders who hon
estly disapprove of the open primary
But nine tenths of them are small
fry politicians, former office holders
and remnants of old time political
machines.
"Ex-office holders who did not get
back under the primary law natur-
ally want change" says the Oregon
Journal. There are lots of them all
over Oregon. They are all for the
assembly and line up like patriots in
explaining why. There are lots Of
men who have hopes but know they
could not get nomination direct
from the people. They are for the
assembly like trout for fat worm.
Then there are the near-officials-
the men who worked the machine,
fabricated its wheels and run the
party. Leaders like these fly to the
assembly like bees around sugar
lump and interviews from them favor
ing the assembly are as easy as free
soup and about as valuable as a snow
ball in Sahara. If some real senti-
ment is desired. let interviews be
sought among those republicans who
the leaders say haven't sense enough
to select fit candidates"
Whenever views are expressed by
farmers, workmen and others repre-
senting the common herd" they show
distrust of the assembly scheme The
oranges throughout the state are con-
stantly passing resolutions denounc.
ing the plan. Labor organizations
are doing likewise. In fact about the
only people who favor the plan ar,
the politicians and in Oregon the
politicians are a discredited lot

MAY FORM A NEW PARTY

Assisted by the administration the
regulars in congress are moving in
exactly the right way to break up the
republican party. The machine orga-
nizauon is out TO fight the "insur-
gents" and to drive them from the
party.
The congressional committee is
sending out literature to be used
against "insurgent" members when
they come up for reelection. The
threat has been made that federal
patronage will be withheld from those
who oppose Cannon's autocracy and
Representative Dwight, republican
whip in the house, reports to the
president that he now omits to call
insurgents into caucus when party
subjects are under consideration.
If the insurgents" have any spirit
and the very fact that they are fight
ing Cannon and his henchmen shows
they have, then they will resist this
high handed course to the finish.
1t may be taken for granted that
the insurgents" will fight and fight
hard. There is going to be a hard
struggle for control of the republican
party. The insurgents" are strong,
not only in the house, but in the sem
ate as well. They are backed by a
popular sentiment that is growing
stronger every day.
Yet the regulars are we'll in
trenched too. They appear to have
the administration with them. They
have the machine organization and
they are backed by the forces of or
ganized capital. They will be hard
to dislodge. Especially since Taft
has just begun his term and in the
natural course of events would be en-.
titled to reelection.
But If they cannot gain the mastery
In their own party the Insurgents"
have another course open to them,
perhaps better course still. They
can join with the liberal democrats
in forming new party. A new party
formed at this time under the leader
ship of such men as Dolliver Cum
Minis. Beveridge, LaFollette, the
house insurgents" and progressive
democrats would prove mighty popu-
would sweep this country like wild
fire. Furthermore there are many
people who believe that the time for
such a party is almost at hand.

ROOM FOR GROWTH.

In recent editorial the Electric
Railway Journal said
I'm 1909 the electric railways of the
Rocky Mountain and the Pacific coast
states made substantial progress not
only in extensions but in largely in
ereasing facilities for handling traf-
fic on established lines. The West
is large, and only small part Of the
opportunity awaiting the investor has
been grasped. The vast territory OF
the Pacific slope now Is only begin
ming to receive the benefits OF the
rapidly increasing influx Of settlers
from the East that is following the
remarkable revival shown by all lines
of business in the West.

should not enjoy all the home COM

BALLOON ARTILLERY PROBLEM
While inventor Constructs Air Craft Another Builds

subject of aerial war craft
Germanys government has been induced by the won

Gross arhps to form air feet which already numbers
cruisers but this very has also awakened the
German military authorities to the necessity OF lmprov

air fleets and therefore, just Germany was first in the
field with aerial navy, she leads the way with bal

works have placed balloon guns on the market.

Superior & Boston Will Develop New
BODY.

The developments now taking place
in the Gardner workings of the Super
ior & Boston mine indicate pretty con-
clusively that an ore body will be de-
veloped there considerably larger
than that which has already been ex-
tensively stopped in the Great Eastern
vein on the northern part of the prop
erty. With the aid of a small hoist,
the west winze, sunk from the 4OO-foot
level of the Gardner workings, has
been put down TO a depth of l05 feet.
This winze has passed continuously
through ore averaging eight per cent
copper and containing percentage of
iron which makes it a good fluxing
material. The sinking of this winze
will be continued indefinitely to fur
Their explore the vein. When sinking
is discontinued at that point, the east
Wine, also sunk from the fourth level
lbs feet from the west one, will be
sunk to greater depth. The work
done in these two wines and the
drifting along the vein on the fourth
level for a distance of about 200 feet
has proven the existence of an ore
body. not only extensive, but of ex-
cellent grade.
COntemporaneous with the work I'M
der way in the Gardner shaft, the Su-
perior & Boston Copper company is
sinking the McGaw shaft toward the
800 foot level and is extracting about
ninety tons of ore each day for ship
ment to the Old Dominion smelter.
The grade of this ore is the same as in
the past, ranging from nine to ten
per cent copper and having a silver
content almost high enough TO meet
the smelling charges. The shipments
are augmented by about two carloads
weekly of ore averaging seven per
cent copper, which are extracted from
the Black Oxide tunnel above the
Gardner workings, where leasers are
at work.

IONA Eastern railway which is TO build |

Warrior Has Much Ore in Sight.

The Warrior mine continues to main
tain its record as one of the greatest
PRODUCES of high grade copper ore in

averaging about ten per cent copper,
which have been made constantly for
years past. it is no exaggeration to
say that today the mine has more ore
in sight than at any time since it was
taken over by Rowland and Smith in
terests last October.
The Warrior Development company
is shipping about seventy-fve tons of
high grade ore daily to the Ell Paso
smelter. Most of this ore is taken
from the slopes above the 300 and $50
foot levels. AT present, the main drift
on the 300-foot level, which is being
driven west, is enabling the manage
ment to put up raises, preparatory to
Stopping one of the greatest high
grade ore chutes ever developed in
Globe district.
While the mining and underground
development work is being carried
rapidly forward, churn drill operations
are being conducted on the Winnie
claim, with a view to developing sui
phide ores at depth. The Winnie
claim is located on the western part of
the Warrior property not far from the
Inspiration line and only several hun
dred feet distant from the Scorpion
shaft, where chalcocite ore of good
grade is being constantly developed
on the 275-foot level. The drill is
now working in satisfactory manner
and the hole on the Winnie claim has
been put down to a depth of 100 feet
