Montana Man States He WIN Erect

Joins.

A. j. McCorkle, with mining ex-
perience In Montana, Colorado and
other inter-mountain states for the
past 40 years, is here from Libby,
Mont, and after looking over sew
eral districts In Josephine county,
has decided that an ore sampling
works for the mines and prospects
of the county Is a necessity IL the
mineral fields Of this region are to
be opened.
Mr.. McCorkle is accompanied by
two sons, Frank G., and Charles S.
McCorkle. To The Courier today the
Montana man said:
IF the mining men and business
men of Grants Pass and others In the
county will join me, modern samp-
ling works can be erected here at
an early day, which will prove one
of the best investments tho county
could consider The cost would be
small. estimate that $4,000 cash
can put the plant running and ship
ping high grade ore and concentrate
to the smelters. can dnance such
plant alone, but that is not what
want; | want the people TO make
1t a mutual affair, then everybody
is interested. They will give moral
support to home company, and
1t will prove popular and profit
able business here,
There Is no argument pro and
con regarding the great work a
simple sampler will do for Joseph
Inc county, at least there Is no ar
gument to be advanced against It,
In brief, II is this way; II a samp-
Ter was running in Grants Pass the
many worthy prospects now idle
could be opened and continue work.
The owners could bring In to the
sampler only a few dollars worth Of
ore and get the cash for It. They
could continue this until they had
their property advanced to the stage
where II could be called q mine, and
rightly 30.
There are many tons OF ore, In,
the aggregate, on dumps In this
county that only wait somebody 10
buy It. The sampler would buy all
these small patches OF ore and ship
in carload lots. The sampler would
also, OF course, purchase ore in large
quantities, and the result Of II
would be that this county, with
many lodges OF ore, could move to
the front as one OF the most prosper
Gus mining regions In the west.
Then again, the small mine own
er having this opportunity to develop
HIS property would later be able TO
put on concentrating plant, and the
sampler could take every ton OF con-
centrate he turned out.
~ shall put the matter before the
Grants Pass Commercial club"
Free power for one year has been
promised by the electric company for
new enterprises, and II is possible
that a site may be donated II the
matter goes to success.
The Courier will on Sunday pre-
sent a comprehensive article on the
value OF sampler TO Josephine
county and TO the city.

NINETY CARS SHIPPED IN DUR
ING OCTOBER.
THIRTEEN ARE SENT OUT
Books of Southern Pacific Freight
Office Disclose Some In
teresting Facts.

For the month of October to
date ninety carloads of productions
have arrived in Grants Pass, with
only thirteen shipped from this
point.
In addition to the full cargoes
there is unloaded here daily an av-
erage of one car and half of gem
eral merchandise. The ninety cars
refers to full cargoes which unload
directly onto wagons in the yards.
Of the thirteen carloads of pro-
ducts shipped out, one swas box
shocks, four hops and seven lum-
ber
Included In the 80 full carloads
arriving there was one car of apples,
one car of canned corn, two cars
OF vegetables, and one car of squash,
the latter from Woodville. There
were several other classes of goods,
but the great bulk of the shipments
arriving was feed stuff and hay,
with lumber as the second item in
the list.
Much of this lumber is worked
over and re-shipped.
Speaking today Of the great diff,
ference In the number of carloads
Y arriving here and the number being
K sent out, resident of the city said;

owns lands that can be watered by
the new irrigation system will reap
heavy profits II he will clear that
land and SOW. He will reap much
from the soil and reap much in the
way of dollars.
v There Is no excuse for Josephine
county keeping up this terribly ex.
pensive drain, now that we have ir-

sons have been relying on money
sent from the east or money they
brought here from the east That
money will not last forever. Joseph

Heavy shipments have been arriving

such an extent that all teamsters

BELIEVED UNIONS
WILL ADOPT PACT
New Wage Agreement to Be
Voted Upon by Journey
men Carpenters.
AFFECTIVE TWO YEARS
One Thousand Workers Affiliated
With Nine Locals in the
Tri-Cities.

Provided boss and journeymen car
penters of the tri-cities ratify an
agreement arrived at by a joint arbi-
tration board, union carpenters OF the
tri-cities will receive, beginning May
1, minimum wage of so cents per
hour, which is an increase of five
cents over the minimum that has been
effective since May !, 1910. Accord
fng to an estimate made this forenoon
by p j. Carlson of Rock Island, bust
ness agent for the Tri-City Carpenters
district council. the increase will af-
feet between 500 and 1000 journey
men who are affiliated with the nine
locals that make up the tri-city dis
trict OF the carpenters union.
ACCEPTANCE PREDICTED.
Mr. Carlson thinks that there is a
strong probability that the Journey
mems unions will ratify the agree
ment. The governing board Of the
Tri-City Master Builders association
represented the building contractors
at the Joint arbitration board meeting.
a member of this board said today
thai there is every probability the
master builders will ratify the agree
ment also.
If these organizations accept the
work of the board of arbitration the
result will be widely different from
that Of a year ago when a tentative
agreement failed OF adoption. There
fore the bosses and journeymen are not
acting under a fixed agreement at
this date, though wage scale contains
q clause fixing the minimum at 10
cents an hour
The new tentative agreement will

NEW APPRENTICE Clause.

if adopted, be effective from May 1.
1911, to May 1, 1913.
NEW APPRENTICE CLAUSE.
Because boss and iourneymen or
ganiza tons have not had chance TO
pass on the various clauses. the ar
biration board refuses TO give out a
copy of the tentative agreement at
this time. 1t is learned, however, that
it is modelled after the Chicago agree
ment
There Is an apprentice clause that
is more favorable TO the building con
tractors than the rules now in force.
a clause which says journeymen shall
handle all material furnished by the
contractors excepting prison made
stuff, and a clause making it neces
sary for an arbitration committee to
rule on all difficulties before journey
men may take radical action, such
as deserving a job, placing informal
boycotts on employers, etc.
BOTH MAKE CONCESSIONS.
In fact such a tentative agreement
as the one proposed could not have
been brought about except by aTbitra-
ton The wage clause is regarded
as a concession to the journeymen,
While the apprentice, material and ar
bitration clauses are considered con
cessiOn TO the master builders.
Last year, following failure of the
tentative agreement 10 secure ratifi-
cation, the journeymen submitted to
the building contractors rules as a
oasis on which they would operate.
and the bosses. on the other hand,
issued the trades rules and princi-
pies" OF the Tri-City Master Builders
association, hence the absence of ser
ious conflicts and disturbances be
tween master builders and journey
men during the year.
BLAME MANUFACTURERS.
The building contractors practically
admit that they have been forced to
give the journeymen carpenters the
increase of 50 cents per day. The
manufacturers of rhe tricitles have
May l last. They are the ones who
raised the wages of the carpenters.
We are just following the lead. Du-
ring the last building season con
tractors from other cities came in
here and paid the carpenters 81
cents per hour. We had iust about
as well not have had a - cent mini
mum for all the good it did they
say.
