HAPPENINGS FROM AROUND OREGON
AID OREGON MINING lNDusTR,
Branch of American Mining Congress:
Is Organized.

Branch of American Mining Congress
Is Organized.
The Oregon branch of the American
Mining congress has been organized,
with headquarters in Portland. With a
view to making their organization in
clude all parts of the state, the board
of directors will consist of nine mem
bers, not more than five of whom may
be residents of Portland. There are
three places in the board still to be
filled by election of representative men
identified with the mining industry
in Eastern and Southern Oregon.
There are at present fifty-five names
on the roll. All interested in promot-
ing the development of the mineral re-
sources of the state should join this or
ganization and send their names at
once to the secretary. Members of the
Oregon branch must be members of
the national body and the proper appli-
cation blanks will be forwarded on re-
quest.
One of the purposes of the state or
ganiZation is the establishment of a
bureau of information concerning the
mines, quarries and mineral deposits of
all kinds in the state of Oregon, and
the names of the companies or individ-
uals owning or operating them with
the amount of capitalization, number of
shares, treasury stock and full descrip-
tion of the properties, with the amount
of development work done, the past
and present production, representative
samples of ores, building stone, lime
stone, gypsum, coal, or other mineral
products of commercial value. With
this object in view the following reso-
luton was passed at the last meeting,
March 2, held in the rooms of the Com
mercial club.
Resolved, That the chair appoint a
committee of three members who shall
make list of all mineral properties
being promoted in the state of Oregon,
with all possible information concern
ing them. This information to be a
record for public information.
All owners of mineral property are
asked to cooperate with the organiza-
tion by furnishing the desired informa-
tion and by giving it their active sup.
port as members. 1t is believed that
full and accurate knowledge of our
mineral resources will bring an era OF
development that will benefit all and
make Oregon, as it should be, one OF
the foremost of the mining states.

NO SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT.
PhiIadelphia's Strike Situation Has
Little Prospect of Improvement.

PhiladeIphia's Strike Situation Has
Little Prospect of Improvement.
Philadelphia, March 14.-Two of
the four mediums through which Phil
adelphia hoped that strike settlement
might be reached were today practical
ly eliminated. 1t was hoped that Pres
ident Taft, the bankers of Philadel-
phia, the National Civic federation or
the local councilmanic bodies would
find way to lend hand to stop the
strife.
Today the word came from Washing
ton, unofficially, but on seemingly good
authority, that the president, through
the department of commerce and labor,
could not see his way clear to inter-
vene. The reason given was that the
trouble is purely of local character.
Bankers declared that the finanda
interests probably would keep hands
off the fight. Frank B. Reeves, presi-
dent of the Philadelphia Clearing
House association, took a strong stand
on the question of exclusive recogni-
tion of its organization.
Mr.. Reeves said today: 81 cannot
see how our financial institutions can
bring their powers to bear in any way
that will help to solve the problem.
Whether the National Civic fedora
tion will take up the strike settlement
and the councilmen can be forced to
take action remains to be seen. An
other telegram was sent today to Seth
Low, head of the federation, asking
that body to offer mediation.
Mr.. Low replied the federation
would do so if he could be assured the
offer would be acceptable to both sides.
There was no change today in the
general strike situation. Employers
predict that today will see the beginn-
ing of a general break among the sym
pathetic strikers, and dozens of Local
unions held meetings today and tonight
to lay plans to hold their members TO-
gether.
Union bakers employed by big de-
partment store have gone on strike anc
seriously crippled the supply Of bread
sold at that store.
There was the usual number of dis.
turbances in the Kensington district
late this afternoon. Many cars were
stoned, but only at one place did the
police have much trouble. 1t was no
ticed that the police refrained from
using their clubs in dispensing crowds
The most serious disturbance of tn,
day occurred when year old chilt
was killed by car run at high speet
to get away from men and boys who
were stoning it.
The car was stopped and an angr.
crowd gathered and made an attemp
to get at the motorman. The police
man on board drew his revolver ant
held the crowd back while another po
liceman sent in a riot call. Their,
were cries of "lynch him." and it il
said woman produced rope.
The situation was exceedingly criti
cal when squad of mounted polio
arrived. The crowd began to scatte
when the police were forced to us
their clubs. Several persons wer
slightly wounded. Three men and on
woman were arrested.

FREE SEEDS FOR FARMERS.
o. r. & N. Demonstration Train to
Distribute Seeds on Trip.

o. r. & N. Demonstration Train to
Distribute Seeds on Trip.
Free seed will be distributed by the
o. r. & N. demonstration train, which
is to tour Eastern Oregon this month.
The varieties will be Canadian field
peas, Montana grown alfalfa and Min
nesota corn. The seed will be given
to farmers selected at the various
places to be visited by the commercial
clubs or the Farmers union.
This system, it is believed, will
bring better results than if the seeds
were given out promiscuously, as the
farmers will be selected upon promise
to carry out experiments with every
possible care and attention. In this
way it will be possible to ascertain ex-
actly what results may be obtained.
The demonstration train will leave
Portland Sunday evening, March 20, in
time to arrive at Heppner the follow
ing morning. The first lecture will be
delivered there between the hours OF
8 8:45 and AS a. m. Then the itine-
rary as heretofore printed will be
followed until on March 81, when the
