CTOWding Out the Small
Merchants

A great economic question is
going to be brought squarely be-
fore the American people within
the next few months, and upon
the determination of the issues
raised by the so-called Stevens
Bill, pending in Congress, de-
pends in a very large measure
the fate Of che small dealer, and
especially those in the smaller
towns, in the unequal struggle
that they are waging for exist
ence against the great city de-
partment stores and the mail
order houses. Every person who
has kept his eyes open must ha We
observed that for some reason
the big city merchants have been
gaming ground, while the trades
men in the interior have found
the struggle growing constantly
harder, The records of postofice
and express money order issues,
and bank drafts purchased, clear
ly show that great sums of mo.
ney that should be used in trad.
ing at home, are going to the
mail order houses in the large
cities. And the department
stores in the great centers are
monopolizing the trade, and the
little stores are becoming fewer
and poorer. This condition is
attributed to "cut-throat compe-
titioO," or price cutting, and
from every part Of the country
there has come a demand for the
enactment Of a federal statute
that will enable manufacturers
Of staple articles to fix a price
on their goods and compel the
retailing at a standard figure, no
matter where the goods are sold.
The Federal Trade Commission
is working in this direction, and
the indications are that there is
bad weather ahead for the hand
ful of city interests that have
been driving out the smaller
dealers, and growing opulent and
arrogant at the expense of the
country merchants.

The general similarity in the form
and position along the Pacific Ocean
of the coast ranges of Oregon to the
oil bearing regions of California has
led many people TO believe that oil
may occur in commercial quantity
in western Oregon. However, &C
cording to the report of a reconnais-
sance of hat region by c. w. Wash
burne, a g~eologist of the United
tates geological survey, the chance of
getting oil in commercial quantity
there is very slight indeed.
In some places in western Oregon
the rocks contain tiny globules of
Gil. and in others they are cut by
veins of solid, brittle oil residue,
but nowhere is liquid oil known to
seep out at the surface. The solid
residues indicate only that oil was at
one time present in the rocks, but it
does lot necessarily mean that oil
occurs in quantity in the rocks at
the present time. The absence of
oil seeps is the most discouraging
feature in this field, for the rocks are
0 broken that it seems highly i'm
probable that much oil could occur
in them and still not leak out at
the surface and form seeps The
possibility of obtaining oil by drilling
is considered as slightly favorable
in a few places in Coos, Douglas, Lin
coin and Lane counties, but even
there the chances are not good.
Seeps of oil have been reported in
practically every county in western
Oregon, but most of the material de-
scribed as oil proved on investigation
to be only iron oxide, a substance
which when present in water in mi
mute amounts forms an iridescent
scum hat looks very much like an
oil film. One of the so-called indi-
cations of petroleum in which GER
tain oil men have placed much faith
is the Nehalem beeswax, which is
of the entrance to Nehalm bay. This
trial was reported to be oil residue,
paraffin or ozokerite, by several of
the chemists who first examined it.
This wax is, however, clearly not in
any way related to petroleum, for it
contains substances that only bees
are known to produce, and II writ
er who has studied the wax says
that these substances are found only
in wax from southeastern Asia. 1t
is generally believed that the wax
came from some ship loaded mainly
with beeswaX which was wrecked on
the beach long previous to the first
settlement of the region.
Inflammable gas escapes from
estuaries and swamps along the coast
and has been reported in one or two
deep wells. The gas found in the
swamps has no relation to petroleum
but is formed by the decay of vege-

BUYS OUT PARTNERS
in TUNGSTEN CLAIMS

John Tilford, one Of the best
known miners of the eastern portion
of the county, who has been resid-
ing at Lexington, Utah, for some
months past, was an Ely visitor dur
ing the week to close a deal with
his former partners, w. A. johnson
and A. D. Taylor for the purchase or
their interests in a group or tung-
stem claims at BONITA. Mr.. Tilford
is now the sole owner of the prop
erty and expects to do considerable
development work there during the
present year Last summer he
erected a small concentrating plant
from which he shipped several tons
of concentrates which averaged $40
per ton. 1t is his intention to en-
large the plant somewhat in the near
future, and it is also probable that
he will lease a part of the ground
and treat the ore in the mill for
the l~essees. His former shipment
averaged GA per cent in tunbstic
acid, which is considered a remark
ably good showing. The product is
now worth considerably more mon
ey than it was last summer which is
an additional incentive for further
development, although there was a
large margin of profit in the operat-
ing the property at that time.-Ely

CONSIGNMENT OF PIPE

There will be considerable haul
ing of pine from here to Fairview, as
a consignment of 50 IONS is at the
denot. c. l.. Benadum has the con
tract to forward it and has engaged
teams for the work. The pipe is to
be laid on top of the ground from
a we'll near Alpine to Fairview to
supply the new mill and cyanide
plant that has been installed by Mr..
STACEY and his associates to work the
ore from the Fairview Golden Boul-
der property. The mill will handle
about so tons of ore a day and add
materially to the output of Churchill
county mines.-FallOn Eagle.

OIL PROSPECTS IN STATE OF OREGON

able matter buried in the mud. The
amount found at any one place is
never very great. and only enough
for very local use can be expected.
The gas is used at present in one or
two places to light farmhouses, at
n place enough being collected
during the day to run a burner for
fou- hours.
The gas found in the deep wells is
more significant, for ii comes out of
the solid rocks just as the gas in
the producing fields in other states
does. However, a careful study of
the known occurrences of gas in
western Oregon shows the chanc-
es of getting commercial quantities
of it are no more favorable than
they are for oil.
In Mr.. W~ashburne's report all the
reported seeps of oil and gas are de-
scribed, and the possibilities of OBJ
tanning oil and gas in the different
counties carefully considered. A
copy of this report, Bulletin 500,
may be obtained free of charge by

WILL START PLANT
ON FIRST OF APRIL

e. J. Schrader, mining engineer
and old time friend of Governor
Boyle. was a visitor in Carson today
and stated that the Rocklin Mining
company, Of which he is general
manager, vas preparing to start the
new 1O0-ton plant at Rocklin, 25
miles south of Yerington, on April
L. The company owns extensive min
ing property at that point and for a
great many months past has kept a
lGOrce of thirty men at work devel-
oping and prospecting the ground.
BY tunnel, drift and other lateral
work amounting to $4,000 feet they
have opened up 10000 tons of ore
in n of their mines and it is all
of good milling grade. From the
point where the work has been done
"a depth of 1900 feet has been gain,
ed on the ore. Power for the pro.
pulsion of the plant for mining op
erations is brught from YeringtOn

BATTLEFIELD SURGERY
Is "BACK TO NATURE'

BERLIN-Surgery on BATTLEFIELD ac-
Ziegelroth, is becoming more and
more a matter of "back to nature"
The doctors, military and civil, who
are tending the wounded in the
west, are discovering. not without
some surprise, how potent a factor
nature is in healing wounds.
Amputations are resorted to only
in cases of utmost necessity, and
surgeons are acting with the great
est conservatism where previously
limbs were severed quickly when
certain symptoms appeared. The
conservatism appears to be rewarded
by recoveries that ordinarily would
have been considered Impossible.
Ordinary wounds are dressed with
antiseptic bandages, and then are
no: rebound any more than neces-
sary. The healing is being left to
efficient nature.
The civil practitioners in the west
ern field, according to the doctor,
are engaged in a friendly but spir-
tied contest with the military ply
sicians, and are giving extraordinary
service. Men who in ordinary life
have a golden practice are enduring
all the hardships of the field with
out a murmur and good humoredly
contest for budles Of straw upon
which to sleep in barns and stables.
The snoring of fellow physicians
seems TO bother them more than the
artillery fire.

TALKS ON THRIFT
NO. 12.-PUBLIC AND PRI-
VATE ECONOMY

The people of the state should APP
p~reciate that governmental efficiency
and economy in their own personal
concern. 1t vitality affects their in
terests and involves the future pros
perity of themselves and their chill
dren, whether or not they now hap
pen to be direct taxpayers. The ul-
innate effects of imp%rovidence, waste
and extravaganza in public expendi-
lures reach every citizen and in fact
are always more injurious to the
wage garner and those of small
means than to any other class in the
community.-Governor Whitman of
New York.
A New York business house has
taken to heart the truth of the old
rhyme:
See a pin and let it lie,
Come to trouble by and by.
See a pin and pick it up,
All the day you'll have luck.
This concern has a combination of
devices that enables it to pick up,
sort and redeliver pins that will
leave no marks of dirt of metal up
on the most stainless white goods.
1t believes it can save one dress

$500 annual pin bills.
"All the day. this country will
have good luck" if it takes a les
son in simple thrift, the careful
avoidance of waste, that used to be
a national characteristic.
Between the hen and the cOnsum-
eggs of 5000, OOO,0 600 annually in
this country, according to w. Mann,
attorney for the New York Central
Railroad company, who testified at
the recent inquiry into the butter
and egg business of the state made
by the attorney generals office.
The witness said that no more
than six out of ten eggs laid reach
the consumer, making a $2OO,0OO,-
900 waste. OF this amount, he said,

retailer. The balance of the loss
represents unnecessary adding.
spelling and deterioration of good
eggs due to poor handling.
Director J. A. Holmes of the ma
tional bureau of mines estimates
that the cost of the waste in mining
exceeds $1,000, 600 daily and he
urges additional appropriations by
the government to prevent this loss
and the continual loss of life and
good health by the miners.
Waste is rampant everywhere we
look in this country. In the case of
individuals, families, industries, mu-
inequalities and states. The nation
al government itself does not es-
cape the accusation of being extrav-
agant in some respects.
These grave conditions must be
remedied if we are to maintain our
individual and national efficiency in
these times of world trial.-~T. D.
MacGregor.
