taken to the office of the elder ply

it is brain fever" The older man

owes an apology however, to every
reputable journalist in the state for
his brazen attempt to put himself and
the Chronicle on par with the large
number of decent editors and reliable
newspapers of this state.
| The editor of the Chronicle mentions
the washing of dirty linen before the
public on the part of Provost, of Han

the editor of this paper. Dovery as
usual with his carelessness of the
truth was wrong about the ownership
of the dirty linen washed. 1t belong

dirty politicians for whom he stands

he showed Dovery up in the Hansen

Of the Chronicle several bad half hours
over editorials that evidently got I'M
der Dovery's hide. The Times as most
of the people here know, got in bad be-
cause it showed up some of Dovery's
fine Italian work with the county

IrrigationlNeed
Is Recognized

After years of agitation by those
who realize the benefit which wide
spread irrigation would be to the val
ley, the farmers and orchardsts of
the Medford district seem to be awak-
ening to the urgent need for irriga-
tion. The Valley Water Users
League has had offices in Medford
for the past two weeks and report the
signing up of 1915 acres for irriga-
tion. These acres have all been
signed up without any sort of cam
paign being made by committees. All
of those who have signified their de-
sire for irrigation under the league
and the plan which 1t will formulate
have done so of their own initiative.
The Water Users will keep the Of
fices in the Garnett-Corey building at
Medford open all this week and many
more land owners are expected to
sign up.
OF the land so far signed 2,061
acres is farm land and 1914 orchard.
The largest land owner to sign up is
w. H. Gore, who signs for 600 acres
of farm land.

Court Upholds
RoSeburg Bonds

The state supreme court has up
held the city of Roseburg in the suit
commenced to enjoin the municipal
ity from participating in the con-
struction and operation of railroad.
The citizens recently held an election
at which they authorize the issuance
of 100000 in bonds for the purpose
of assisting in building a railroad.
The decision of the court was re-
ceived with an informal celebration
in Roseburg. With the favorable de-
cision of the court the last big OBJ
struction to the Roseburg railroad is
considered to be removed.

The Big Gray Car

hibit of normal and high grade ores,
copper mat and the chemicals used in
extracting gold. The Rainbow gold
mines of Baker, producing about
$35, 900 month, shows some superb
specimens, and there are some good
samples from the Bohemia district
in Lane county.
Among the stones is that from the
once famous Pioneer quarry at To-
ledo, and great effort is being made
to revive the stone industry at that
place. This stone is in many Of the
California and Oregon skyscrapers.
Some stone from a quarry at Mon
roe, Benton county, is shown. Coal
from new discovery at Squaw
creek, Coos county, attracts atten-
tion. There are two veins on this
property, seven and ten feet in thick
ness, and good exhibits are made by
NJ. c. Anderson of Grants Pass, who
is manager. The Williams creek,
Josephine county, marble shows to
advantage.
According to Fred Mellis, in
charge here, there is tremendous OPP
portunity in Oregon for the invest
ment Of capital with every prospect
OF satisfactory return. In gold pro-
duction the state brings forth about
$1,600,000 with scarcely more than
half dozen producers, but there are
fully 100 now-making mines making
sufficient showing to warrant the
confidence of very large production
II the capital was but available for
development. In southern Oregon
the Waldo copper district promises
great things, as a railroad is now be-
ing built into the camp. The Reddy
and Grinnell holdings in southern
Oregon are now under examination
by responsible mining men. Among
the big properties awaiting reopen
ing in eastern Oregon are the Bais-
ley Elkhorn, Eureka Excelsior and
the Red Boy Bonanza. The Oregon
Bureau of Mines and Geology, under
whose direction the winning exhibit
here is made, is bending every proper
effort to direct the public's attention
to the many sections Of Oregon
where there is undeveloped natural
resource of the character set forth in
the exhibit. There is constant in
quiry at the Oregon building about
Oregon mining possibilities and the
booth is visited daily by many hun
dreds. 1t is conceded by other ex-
hibitors in the great mining palace
that Oregon's exhibit of gold speci-
mems is unquestonably the best on
the floor. Now that the exhibit
floats the big purple banner giving
the official notice of the capture OF
the grand prize the Oregon showing
looks particularly good to Oregoni-
ans.

Future in Mines
In State Of Oregon

Oregon Building, Panama-Pacific
international Exposition.-Oregon's S
exhibits continue to win prizes. This
time 1t is the much-coveted gold
medal for the best collective exhibit
OF mineral resources, six silver med
ais for individual exhibits and four
bronze medals. Considering the fact
that oregon provided a fund of but
$4,000 for this work, that as a mat
ter of necessity the exhibit was in
stalled so late that the original jury
OF awards mad finished its work, and
that no winnings were anticipated
this, capture OF the grand prize comes
almost in The nature of miracle.
However, when the exhibit had been
set uD in anything but its perfection
OF today, the exposition people were
asked If they could not do some
thing. 1t being urged that the
awards had not been announced, the
officials agreed that they would send
a subcommittee over to the Mining
building and size up the situation.
This committee found such a COM
plete and altogether satisfactory col
lective exhibit that in all fairness
they could not ignore it, and in the
final test Oregon won the big prize
That more individual prizes we're not
landed was due wholly to the lack of
time for satisfactory preparation.
The Oregon mining exhibit occu-
pies space 5Ox10O. Plate glass
floor cases filled with specimens are
around the outside, and a relief map
of Oregon, Sx10 feet, occupies the
center. The latter is the work of
Prof H. NJ. Parks and Prof. Solon
Shedd, who were awarded silver
medals for this fine piece of work.
Besides the showcase exhibits of pre-
cious metals, the exhibit consists Of
large pieces of representative quartz
specimens from the different mining
sections, together with granite and
marble, coal, stone and moving pic
lures OF mines and mining in Ore
gon. Coal from the Beaver Hill
mine in Coos county, fine big blocks,
is there, a black marble table from
the Walowa marble district, native
copper specimens from the famous
Waldo district of southern Oregon,
and eighteen ounces of platinum
from the Logan River placer mines
in Josephine county-the largest in
dividual platinum producer in the
world-bring many questions. The
Josephine County Bank has pretty
collection of gold nuggets, and Mrs.
A. B. Cornell of Grants Pass has a
beautiful showing of necklace and
earrings made from nuggets. The
Belmont mine in the Greenhorn dis
trict shows crystallized gold, and the
Northwestern Granite Company of
Baker has a large slab and cubes of
fine building granite. A $500 gold
nugget found at the Buck Gulch
placers in Grant county is sight for
weary eyes, the seventy-ounce daily
output of the Powder River Dredging
Company at Sumpter looks mighty
