'The law involves another thing
the pledge of the faith of the State to
meet in full the Federal appropriation
for the entire period covered by the
act. The state legislature may not be
able to appropriate money one year for
the whole period covered by the act,
but it can pledge the faith of the State
to meet the financial provisions of the
act for the period covered by it. This
is as it sohuld be- 1t would be un-
fortunate if it were otherwise. 1t
would be wasteful not to make plans
at the outset for the full period COW
cred by the act; it would mean piece
meal road building and much dissipa-
ton of effort and misdirecton of

er the State as such. under the exist
ing law, may engage in road building
or not The provision that where the
State may not engage in highway i'm
provement the money NAV be secured
if counties raise an amount sufficient
to meet the apportionment to the State
involves the necessity on the part of
such counties Of raising an amount suf
fieient to meet the full apportionment
for the state, the existence of a high
way commission, and compliance with
all the other terms of the act, | speak
of this because there are evidences that
individual counties think that. if they
raise certain sum of money, they
will of necessity get corresponding
sum from the Federal Treasury. That
is not my construction of the act and
not the one that will be likely to pre-
vail.

Oregon Metal
Mines in 1916

No changes of moment in the min
ing situation in Oregon are noted by
Charles G. Yale, of the United States
Geological Survey, for the first six
months OF 1916. The bulletin re-
ceipts OF the mint and smelters at
San Francisco show that the output
of gold has increased s107,0 and
that OF silver $4,000 ounces in the
first five months OF 1916 over the
output of the corresponding period
in 1915. The increase in gold is due
entirely to dredging operations. The
Powder River Gold Dredging Com
pany, which in the first half of 1915
had but one dredge operating, near
Sumpter, Baker. county, has been
working with two dredges during the
first six months of 1916. With the
exception of three deep mines, all in
Baker county, this is the largest gold
mining enterprise in Oregon.
The properties of the Cougar Min
ing Company, near sumpter, have
been placed under lease and bond to
the United Gold Mining Company of
Spokane. In addition to the 20O-ton
mill, tube mills and a cyanide plant
are to be installed. The Queen of
Bronze copper mine, which ships its
ore from Waldo by team to Grants
Pass and thence by rail to smelters /
at Kennett and Tacoma, has been
sold to men who intend to extend a
railroad to Waldo. After years of
idleness work has been resumed on
the Iron Dyke mine at Copperfield,
which is shipping ore to Colorado for
reduction. The Black Eagle proper

RailroaderS Hold
Joint Meeting

The realization of what an impor-
tant railroad center Ashland has
grown to be was demonstrated Satur-
day evening, the Sth, when over fifty
engineers, conductors, trainmen and
firemen met at a joint meeting of the
four railroad brotherhoods, held In
Memorial hall, the occasion being a
visit to the city by L. L. Sanford,
general chairman of the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers, and Sam
veach, general chairman of the Order
OF Railway Conductors, who ad-
dressed the members of their organ
izations on matters of general inter-
est to the brotherhoods, the eight
hour day in particular.
Mr.. Sanford lived in Ashland
number of years and still owns his
home here. Mr.. Veach is one Of the
Oldest conductors on the Southern
Pacific system. After an automobile
trip around the city and full tank
OF lithia water, both gentlemen ex-
pressed themselves as being greatly
pleased with our city and very highly
praised the citizens Of Ashland for
their enterprising spirit in having
transformed little mountain town
into such a clean and beautiful city.

Mid Year Review
OF American Mines

Secretary Franklin X. Lane has
received from the Geological Survey
its mid-year review Of mineral pro-
duction. This official statement COW
ers the first six months of 1916 and
includes reports from the federal
specialists on the principal products
of the mining industry, as well as
from the western offices of the Geo.
logical Survey. These summary re-
ports are being made public as au-
thoritative and impartial records Of
business conditions.
"The mid-year review was so well
received last July" said Secretary
Lane, that believe it met public
need, and 1t will therefore be con-
tinued as one Of the services rem
dered to the public by the Interior
Department. The business of the
whole country has become so inter-
dependent that facts regarding our
mines and mills and furnaces are Of
real concern to every citizen interest
ed in any industrial undertaking.
That the mining industry is making
many new records in the extent and
success of its business must be taken
as an index of the nations general
prosperity. Best of all, 1916 is reg
istering another advance in the grow
ing independence of the United
states as a producer of the many ma
terials that civilization has made nee
essary. Our country is coming into
Its own"

Judge Wanamaker
Has New Ideas

The International Opera Company
rendered a few numbers as a pre-
lude to Monday afternoons program
at Chautauqua. The music was
good and well appreciated by the
audience. Among their selections
was the old Beautiful Blue Dan
ube."
The main event of the afternoon
was a lecture by Judge r. H. Wana-
maker of Ohio, who is one of the
few people who are trying to reform
their own profession. He favors the
recall and thinks that there is too
much precedent" and not enough
Justice" in the legal profession.
The subject of his lecture was Par
tyism VS.. Patriotism" Some of his
most noteworthy remarks were some
thing as follows: "a reasonable
amount of criticism is good for a pur-
blind officer-even judge" Put
on your glasses and look the candi-
dates over before putting down your
X" "An honest judge should not be
afraid of the recall, and a dishonest
one should be kept afraid of it."
Courts should be modelled more
after Gods court-conscience THE
highest law is the Golden Rule"
eve suffer great deal from ex-
perts who have no experience. No
other civilized nation commits so
much crime and convicts so little of
it," IF you steal less than 1000,
you steal-if more, you commit one
of the 81 varieties of misappropria-
ton" "You should vote straight
ticket-that is, vote for the straight
man." "If l could l would make a
law in which if a man was within
100 miles of the polls and in good
health on the day of election and
failed to vote he should be subject
to stiff fine. On the second Of
fense his franchise would be sus-
pended for five years, and on the
third taken from him entirely"
God made the patriot and man the
partisan" The talk was interesting
and well worth hearing. Judge Wan
amaker is good speaker and every
one liked him.

Sunday at
Chautauqla

DR.. White of Albany preached at
the Chautauqua building on Sunday
morning. The substance of his talk
was to know the Bible. He talked
clear through the Bible, historically
and prophetically, giving one of the
best sermons ever given in southern
Oregon. He had as a background for
his talk chart on which the Bible
was arranged chronoligically. The
singing was led by Mr.. Earl Rasor.
Mrs. Sylvan Provost rendered vocal
solo, to which Miss Alice Vandersluis
played violin obligato.
In the afternoon DR.. Allen Moore
gave very interesting lecture enti-
tied "The Tabernacle in the Wilder
ness" He had with him model of
the old tabernacle of the Children of
Israel. In the evening he spoke of
the Holy Land. DR.. Moore is a re-
turned missionary from Palestine
and made his lectures we'll worth
hearing.

along the sunny side,
And every time you hear him talk,
he speaks of home with pride.
He picks the city's virtues out to
herald far and near,
And says to people all about, We'll

when everything seems wrong,
Rolls up his sleeves and pitches in
and sings a merry song;
The fellow who will do his best what
ever may betide,
And always tries to lead the rest in
making home his pride.
The man who lends helping hand
to someone falling down,
And makes you plainly understand
he's here to help the town.
But from the "croak" and crank"

Or in some cavern damp and lone,

The fellow who will chew the bone

free-handed, without fear,
And makes his brother townsmen

Talks With Screen Struck Girls

Don't think it smart nor a mark
of genius to develop a listless or
bored attitude toward your associa-
tes.
Don't be loud" in either speech,
dress or general conduct
Don't forget that your backbone
was made to give strength and poise
to your body. Don't let it sag.
A few further words might not be
amiss in an elaboration upon this
last don't" think it almost Grim
inal that so many girls of this day
absolutely neglect their carriage.
They droop and sag, half way cave in
and tumble Imply together all at
the same time. 1t is almost painful
to see them try to stand. There is
just about as much poise or snap to
their appearance as to that of the
proverbial sack of bran" Worse
still, it is not natural for them to
wear this air OF fatigue. They have
created it through weeks and months
of conscious and careful application.
How can a girl go thus deliberate
ly about destroying her personality?
There is not thing captivating about
It. 1t is not sensible and it is not
stylish. It sins alike against good
appearance and good health.
The girl who would succeed in pic
.ures cannot afford to cultivate it.

New Model
For Coin Faces

Dimes, quarters and half dollars
of new design will be minted after
July l. For the first time since 1891
a change will be effected in these
pieces. The announcement disclosed
that the half dollar has fallen prac-
tically into disuse. The new design
was selected with hope of restoring
it into more general circulation, it
was indicated Under the new coin
age, each piece will be of different
design. The half dollar and dime
models were made by Adolph A.
Weinman and the quarter dollar by
Hermon A. Mcneil. Both are sculp-
tors of note.
The face Of the new half dollar
bears full length of Liberty with
background Of the American flag fly
ing to the wind. The goddess is strid-
ing forward to the dawn of a new
day, carrying laurel and oak branch
es, symbolic Of civil and military
glory. The reverse side shows an
eagle perched high upon a mountain
crag, wings unfolded.
Growing from the rocks is a sap
pling of mountain pine, symbolic of
America.
The design of the 25-cent piece is
intended to typify the awakening Of
the country to its own protection.
Liberty, a full length picture, is
shown stepping toward the country's
gateway, bearing upraised a shield
from which the covering is being
drawn. The right hand bears an
olive branch of peace. Above the
head is the word Liberty" and be- |
low the feet 1915" The reverse
side bears a figure of an eagle in
full flight, wings extended and the
inscriptions Omitted States of Amer
lea" and "E Pluribus Unum."
Both the half dollar and quarter
bear the phrase, "In God We Trust"
The design of the dime is simple.
