In the death registration area the total
number Of deaths from tuberculosis (all
forms) was $500, or 4474 more than the

increase WAS due apparently to the in

thousand population. for 1910 was slightly
less than that OF 1908 for 1902, and likewise
less than that for any preceding year of

comparatively easy to pass any sort OF

THE SUCCESS OF THE ALMEDA.

THE SUCCESS OF THE ALMEDA
The fact that a method has been
discovered 10 successfully smelt the
ore OF the Almeda mine. and that ii
is now in practical operation every
day in the week, gives great salts
faction to the people of the entire
county of Josephine, in as much as
the mine contains the largest body of
copper and gold ore to be found on
the Pacific coast.
That a hundred tons OF rich con-
centrates are smelted ever twenty
four hours marks the mine as a pro-
ducer of wealth second to nothing
in the country of like capacity. The
success of the mine is important, not
only to the stockholders of the COM
pany, but to the people of this county
generally.

of Pennsylvania, Colonel Roosevelt
opened his presidential campaign in
Vermont here today. The colonel
had on his fighting clothes, and his
denunciation of what he termed
their misrepresentation to the SEN
ate campaign contributions investi-
eating committee was especially
bitter.
After urging his hearers to sup
port the state progressive ticket, Col
onel Roosevelt said:
i'm Watson of Indiana is coming
here to speak against me. He was
one of the mechanics who helped OPP
crate the steam roller at Chicago.

Foreman Clay
Returns to
the Almeda

Frank Clay, who was so severely
burned about the face and eyes by
an explosion of molten metal at the
Almeda smelter a couple of weeks
ago, has been discharged from the
Good Samaritan hospital in this city
as cured With eyesight completely
restored, and no permanent effects
resulting from the accident, Mr.. Clay
was anxious to return to his duties
at the Almeda, where he is foreman
OF the smelter, and will leave Satur-
day for Merlin. from which point he
will take the stage for Galice and his
interesting work again.
Seen at the hospital this morning,
Mr.. Clay radiated the enthusiasm he
feels over the progress of things at
the big mine. From his talk one is
impressed with the fact that the en-
ployes at the Almeda are confident
that the mine is now operating on
the system that will place it where
it belongs, at the very head of the
big producers of the west.
THE management now thoroughly
understands the methods of handling
the Almeda ore to get the values out
of it, said Mr.. Clay. With the new
hot blast furnace We are able to
handle one hundred tons of the ore
daily, and to save practically all the
values. In fact, we have handled as
high as 127 tons in single day with
the present equipment, employing
twenty men at the smelter. The
body of ore seems inexhaustible, and
we are able also to smelt with profit
the great volume of low grade ore
that could not be put through under
former methods"

oREGoNTs RAPID INCREASE IN
POPULATION.

A statement was given out Satur-
day at Salem by Labor Commissioner
Howf TO the effect that the census OF
Oregon on April 18th of this year,
was 73G,724, or 63,959 more than
when the census were taken by the
government in 1910. The labor
commissioner figures Of course are
only estimates, and are based upon
the school census and other statistics
which have come into his hands dur
ing the last two years.
Oregon is certainly growing and It
is safe to predict that It will increase
at the rate of fifty thousand year
for a long time to come This is in
deed the land OF opportunity for
those who are seeking homes. As
state the people have one duty to
perform and that is to advertise not
only our resources, but our oppor-
tunities, as well as our soil and eli
mate. Josephine county should get
busy and get its share Of the families
who are looking for desirable places
to live. where schools, churches and
good roads can be offered as an in
ducement.
