tiCns involved to reach clear understanding of what IS involv- ed and to decide whether or not the matter is worth fighting about. If either party is dissat- isfed with a decision of the coul or a recommendation of the coun- cil it will then be free to go to war without any interference from other members of the league. This may not prevent all wars hereafter but it certainly will prevent most of them.
 One of the first bles sings an ticipated from the formation of the proposed league of nations will be the reduction of arma- ments-a burden that before the present war began had become almost intolarable
 It should be borne in mind that the League does not seek to end the present war. It believes that adequate preparation for national defense is essential to the success of its program. Its Executive Committee by unani- nous vote has assured the Ma Gional government of it's support in the present International crisis.
 The Leagu is working hard to explain it's program to all the voters in order that the govern ment may have the support of public opinion in taking what ever steps may be possible now to commit the nations to the for nation of a league to enforce peace before the war ends, be- cause if left until after the treaty of peace shall nave been signed it is feared that the world may be cheated out of a basis of last ing peace as it was by the Con gress ot Vienna century ago.

Why Taft Goes South

New York, March--Former President Taft's tour through eight states of the South and Southwest, beginning at Rich mopd, March 21, and ending at Oklahoma City. March 29. will not be his first trip to that region but it will De the most important visit he lever made there. For, with the hearty cooperation of eight governors, as many may ors, the same number of Cham hers of Commerce and a long list of leading private citizens, the former President of the United States, who is now President of the League to Enforce Peace. will do all that is possible in so brief time to explain what the organization just mentioned is and what it seeks to accomplish
 Briefly stated, the points are these: The League to Enforce Peace Is not yet a League, but an organization to promote a league of nations to be formed after the close of the present war for the purpose of maintain ing the future peace of the world so far as that is humanly possi
 ole. This. it is believed, can be accomplished by forming league. or alliance, or whatever one chooses to call it, embracing at the outset all, or at least most, of the great powers pledged to do these things. Send sdelegates to an international conference which shall meet from time to time to formulate and codify in ternational law: establish an in ternational court to which na- tions mag submit any issues that may arise between them if these can be tried according to the rules of law or equity; establish council of cancellation to en deavor to compose differences that cannot be so tried; bind themselves to use their com bined economic and military forces against any member of the league or alliance that begins war upon another member with out first submitting, of offering in good faith to submit, the issue to court or council.
 The proposed lea1ue will not attempt to enforce the decrees of court or council, nor will it at tempt to compel any member to submit grievance to either It proposes to do just one thing and that is to use force immediately upon any member that goes to war without first trying the means providing for settling grievances amicably. It will take year, perhaps two, to get de
 cision in the court or council and this is believed to be ample time to enable the people of the na-

Arkansas Branch League To
 Enforce Peace

States discuss questions of inter national statesmanship March 26, in Little Rock, William How ard Taft having accepted an in vitation to address the conven- tion of the Arkansas Branch of the League to Enforce Peace.
 The League to Enforce Peace is conducting a worldwide edu cationaI propaganda in support of the league of nations idea ad- yocated by President Wilson and leaders in all the countries of the world. Mr. Taft is president of this league and is periodically giving his unqualified support to President Wilson in his efforts to bring into existence, after the present war has been settled, in ternatlonal machinery that will prevent recurrence of similar catastrophies.
 Governor Charles H. Brough is State chairman, Robert E. Wait of the Arkansas Bankers 1 Association is chairman of the Executive Committee, and Secre- tary of State Tom J. Terral is general secretary of the Arkan- sas branch of the League. They have officially issued a call for a i convention, as follows:
 Whereas, William Howard l Taft, ex President of the United States, wao is president of the l American Branch of the League to Enforce Peace. has accepted an invitation to speak in Little Rock Monday night. March 26, 1917.
 Therefore, we officially call convention to be held under the auspices of the Arkansas Branch of the League to Enforce Peace | to convene in Convention Hall of the Hotel Marion, Little Rock, Arkansas, at 2:30 D. m Monday. March 26, 1917. to give the peo- l pie of Arkansas an opportunity to discuss and consider a pro gram for league of nations to which the United States shall be a signatory, and to be formed af ter the present war is oyer, that will guarantee and enforce the future peace of the world.

the war began the Waldo district has
been making extensive shipments Of
copper ore averaging over 121s per

have been heavy shippers of high

available. The only available records
at hand are the shipments of the

shipped to the Tacoma smelter.

In spite of the drought, valley
ranchers believe that with increased
irrigation thic year there will be a
good fruit and grain crop. Several
ranchers are now cutting their second
crop of alfalfa, and while the wheat
and oats have been injured, major
ity Of the crop will be used for hay.
Some of the ranches without water
have small fruit at present, but rain
in the next two or three weeks would
bring most OF the pears and apples
through in good shape. Fourteen
hundred cars of fruit is still the esti-
mate, which, If realized, will break

COPPER IN SOUTHERN OREGON
(By A. E. Kelloggg)

(By A. E. Kelloggg)
In the year of 1860 the Waldo
copper mines in Josephine county
were discovered by miner by the
name of Hawes, and several deposits
were soon after developed. But the
mines gave poor returns on account
of the extremely high cost of trans
portation and material. Copper de-
posits occur in the Gold Hill, Galice,
Upper Applegate, and Waldo dis
tricts. IN the Gold Hill district it
is found chiefly as chal -copyrite, oc-
ours in quartz veins in quartzite, and
also as a primary mineral Of the nor
ite intrusive rock. In the Upper APP
plegate district cholcopyrite occurs
in quartz. In the Galice district the
copper ores are in veins produced
at least in part by displacement, the
most important deposits lie next to a
we'll market fault at the contact be-
tween slate and datite porphyry. In
the Waldo district the dopper ores
are intimately associated with SER
pentine, in which they form irregular
masses; the deposits do not occur
in we'll defined veins, often in lense
shapes.
In accordance with A N. Wench-
ellis report the origin Of the ore de-
posits in this region, they are all
closely associated with igneous rocks.
In the Gold Hill district the copper
ore is part of a primary constituent
of the norite country rock, and the
vein deposits were probably derived
from the same source. That is, mag
matte waters, after concentration
through crystalization Of the mag
ma, probably carried copper ore into
fissures and there deposited them
with other veins forming minerals.
There is no evidence that surface wat
ers have produced any important eff
fects; the veins are not leached or
oxidized. and there is no indication
of secondary enrichment by surface
waters. In the Galice district the
close relation Of the dikes of datite
porphyry and the ore body is re-
garded as indicating that the ore de-
posits is the final term in the series
of changes startred by the intrusion
of the porphyry dixie. This intru-
sion heated The rocks and initiated
the circulation of heated solvents,
which, disolving some minerals. de-
posted others In their stead. In
Waldo district the primary concen-
tration was accomplished BY pro-
cesses which are not fully known;
It may have been accomplished by
magmatie differentiation, or by solu-
tion probably derived from, and GER

each time being in a bad season on
