OLD ORE SHOOT
HAS BEEN FOUND

The old Greenback mine, eight
miles east of Leland, in Josephine
county, which has yielded to various
owners a total of $1,250.OOO, is Civ
ing up more thousands to Cary
Thompson, former superintendent,
and now operating the property un-
der bond and lease, the papers call
ing for 100000 purchase price.
Mr.. Thompson is operating twenty
i've stamps of the forty-stamp mill
located on the property.
The mine had been closed two
years until Thompson took the lease
and bond.
In other days when he was SUPER
intendent, the property was in pros
porous condition. The ore bodies are
OF an erratic nature. much faulted
and evasive. Thompson was always
able to catch the ore when lost. His
services were dispensed with by the
operating company, and the new
management made a failure, losing
the ore entirely. After two years of
idleness Thompson took the lease.
He cross-cut from the 9O0-foot level
and found the ore. He also broke
into the ore by prosecuting on the
700 and 500 level. He was four
months seeking the elusive shoot,
but finally succeeded, and Is now
keeping twenty-five stamps busy
He pays q royalty of twenty per cent
until he takes up the bond, which at
this date seems certainty.

FIRING OF BRUSH
TO STOP FIRES

What Oregon needs is not so
much the planting or setting out of
new trees as the preservation of
what forests she now has," This is
the way ]. D. Welch, of the Oregon
Timber & Realty company, expressed
himself on the conservation question.
Mr.. Welch said the best way to pre-
serve timber from forest fires was to
set fire to the underbrush every 9TH
er year. This ought to be done in
May or early in June" he said, las
the woods are not so dry then, and
there is no danger of setting the
trees afire.
There is no reason why we should
continue to have disastrous forest
fires such as We had last year." he
continued. ''If the underbrush is
fired every other year they will be
impossible.
. THE worst thing the government
forest rangers can do is to prevent
year after year the setting of fires
In the timber. When the dead cones
and pine and fir needles have ac-
cumulated for eight or 10 years, q
match can not be dropped on the
ground without setting fire to the
dried out mass. The flames will
shoot 10 feet high and carry all be-
fore them, so that it is not safe for
man to be in the forest.
Food for Flames Removed
II have tried this thing out in my
own timber about eight miles north
west of Willamina. During the big
fire last year which burned over the
Mount Hebo district I sent three
wagon loads Of men up to my tim
Der to fight the fire. But they didn't
have to do anything, as the fire went
out as soon as 1t came to my timber.
The only reason for it was that |
had burned my underbrush out two
years before, SO that there was no
food for the flames.
81 here are plenty Of men to take
care of the forest reserves if they
would only take care of them right.
Sixty-five per cent of the timber
land on the west slope of the Cascade
mountains, and from there to the
ocean, will become re-forested In
spite of all we could do to prevent it.,
because 1t Is too rough and noun
tainous for any other purpose. All
that is necessary is to give it little
protection. A word right here as to
this matter Of re-foresting.
There are near Willamina up
wards Of 10000 acres in township 4
south, range 8 west; township 4
south, range west, and township 6
south, range west, which do not
contain timber, but are in the for
est reserve. A considerable part Of
1t Is fit for farming, and the rest
would make good grazing land. Yet
the government withholds the land
from homestead entry. If we want
to settle up Oregon we ought to give
the settlers a chance, instead of with
holding the land from entry when it
its fit for farming.

SHERIFFS CALLED IN.
Beck of Reno and Dunnuclz of Cloud
| TO Tell About Topeka.

All the troubles of HunneWell and
Shady Bend have been swept aside to
make room for the whitewashing OF
Topaka's character regarding the
liquor situation. This little task will
be undertaken Thursday afternoon by
County Attorney Simon, who has sub
poenaed Coon" Beck, sheriff of Reno
county, and w J. Dunnuck, sheriff OF
Cloud county, to attend an inquisition
and explain their knowledge of the
| broken drouth in Topeka.
This may be an easy undertaking
Again, it may not To be sure, Mr..
Simon will have the assistance of a
delegation from the attorney general's s
office, but if Beck and Dunnuck are
not in the proper frame of mind, it
might be well for Governor Stubbs to
retain the visiting militiamen a few
days.
The prime object behind the inquisi-
tion seems to be an effort to sustain
| the much advertised theory that To-
peka is a dry town and that state and
county officials cleaned up local terri
tory before invading foreign soil.
When Beck and Dunnuck upset this
theory to some extent, at least, Daw-
son and Simon were peeved.
1t will be recalled by students of
history that Dawson. swooped down on
the quiet, contented community in
which is situated the town of Con-
cordia By virtue of much printers s
Cloud county was proclaimed in the
land. Dunnuck came to Topeka to
explain to Governor Stubs. While
here Dunnuck, as a private citizen, in
vestigated the opportunities of a cool
bottle of brew. Just what he discov-
cred he told to the COncOrdia adver-
tising mediums. and now Dunnuck's
name is in sad repute at the court
house and state capitol building in To-
peka.
Beck's offense was much the same
One day when news in Topeka was
several points below par, the State
Journal told of the fountains of Bud
weiser and Pabst along the main thor
oughfares of Hutchinson. In Hutch
inson the effort was neither appreci-
ated nor commended. 1t required two
weeks for the public prints of Reno
county to convince their readers that
the statements were untrue, SANDER
Gus and published ito injure the
Hutchinson state fair
Then one day business interests
brought Coon Beck to Topeka. In an
idle hour he located joints and boot
leggers which County Attorney Simon
who spent most of his existence
here-never knew existed; and which
Governor Stubbs and Attorney General
Dawson had declared to have been
cleaned up.
In the efforts of Beck and Dunnuck
seems to have been only a humane de-
sire to show conditions as they really
existed Perhaps they will willingly
tell what they know. Perhaps they
won't. Even if they do, there will be
slight credit due local officials who
find it necessary to send broadcast in
the state to obtain information as to
local conditions.

SECRET OF CHARMING
YOUTHFUL COMPLEXIONS

Most sensible advice comes from the
pen or Mae Martyr, in the New York
W orId, as follows:
The greatest mistake which thou
sands of women make daily, is the
practice of smearing their faces with
powder in a vain attempt to improve
their looks Powder only covers up
complexion ills temporarily, clogs the
skin pores, and eventually causes
blotchy, wrinkled faces.
Those who wish to whiten and
Deautify their com 2lexions and make
their faces more charming and youth
ful looking, should try an inexpensive
lotion made by dissolving 4 ounces of
spurmax in either 1z-pint hot water
or 7z-pint witch hazel, adding 2 tea
spoonfuls glycerine. Where witch
hazel is used, the skin dries more
quickly.
This lotion prevents blackheads,
enlarged pores, skin roughness and
makes the skin soft, smooth and vel
vety. 1t takes off that shiny, sallow
look and adds beauty that no other

HURLED 225 YARDS.
Piece of Armor Plate Weighing 81
Tons Landed on the Repubiique.

Toulon, Sept. 27.-The tremendous
force of the explosion which destroyed

again indicated today when a piece of
the Liberte armor plate was lifted
from the side of the battleship Re
publique, on which it had fallen.
The broken plate weighed thirty
seven tons and had been hurled 225
yards The Republique was so dam
aged that she will be out of commits
sion for months while repairs are be-
ing made.
Twelve bodies were taken from the
wreck this morning. The search above
the water line is difficult owing to
barriers of crumpled steel that op-
pose all advance into sections of the
holds. Nothing was discovered leading
to the belief that other living men
were imprisoned in the wreckage, al
thought this remains a possibility.
The roll of the dead was increased
by half dozen deaths during the
night.
