MINING INCREASED
MUCH IN PAST YEAR

Though much Is heard concerning
increased cost and shortage Of labor
in 1918 many OF the big mines in
Idaho continue to increase their
shipments, according to c. n. Gerry,
of the United States geological sur
yey, department of the interior. The
total yield OF metal, however, has
probably fallen off in the first half
Of 1918. The increase in the price
OF silver does not offset the decrease
in the price Of lead, for lead is
idaho's main output. Ore and con-
centrate from the Coeur d'Alene dis
tr!ct, including lead, zinc and copper
material, were shipped at the rate
CT about $4,000 tons a month during
the first half of 1918.
The Bunker Hill smelter contlnu-
ed to treat lead ores mined in Sho-.
shone county, as the suit with the
American Smelling G. Refining COM
pany, was cettled out of court. The
lead plant at Northport was also
working regularly on concentrate
from Idaho and on custom ore. These
two plants treat about half Of the
lead material produced In Idaho.
The gold production was low in
1917 because the dredge at Idaho
City was idle, but the deficiency may
lie partly offset by the results of the
dredging at Murray, Idaho, in 1918.
Large shipments of bullion are still
made from the Marshall lake region
and from deep mines in Boise coun-
ty.
The output of silver in 1917 was
not quite 100000 ounces. No
great increase is indicated for 1918
though the price of the metal is
much higher, for most of the silver
is derived from lead ores. Silver
ore was developed in Bonner county
at the. Armstead mines where a mill
Is planned.
The copper production Of 1918
will probably not exceed that of
1917, which was about 1000, 900
pounds. Large shipments are still
made from the Mackey region, in
Custer county, but at no greater rate
than in 1917. The Richmond mine
in Shoshone county near Adalr, re-
sumed shipments in May, and though |
the National Copper company was
several hundred tons of con-
centratc month early in the year, |
iss mine was closed in June.

ARE THERE ANY OREGON
WOMEN LIKE THIS ?

Human nature is very strange.
The way women are wailing over the
food regulations is pitiful. To some
Of them a crate of fruit Is more thun
-all the starving millions of Europe.
They are an abused race over the
new canning regulations, and any
one who talked to them about the
Hoover regulations a year ago and
knew of the scorn with which any
suggestions of curtailment were met
can realize how hurt they are with
TIE enforced denial. 1t is only a lack
of vision. Those whose men are at
war accept the regulations with
cheerfulness; they do not weep over
the loss in fruit, for they have other
losses more on their minds and they
think that doing without a few
pounds of sugar is an easy matter
compared to their greater sacrifice

ably takes more of the Out-and-out
spirit of sclf-denial voluntarily to
cut down ones sugar than to give
uD any other food; for sugar, in the
popular mind is associated not chief
ly with nourishment, but with the
D!easurable side of life, with boxes
of candy and cool soda fountains
dispensing sweet drinks, and so on.
Yet there has got to be a curtail-
ment Of some of these pleasures,
which use up sugar If the supply is
10 hold out. Owing to worldwide
ship shortage, this country will have
to get along with less sugar than in
the past. This may in part he ac-
compllshed by using less in the kit
chen of the home, and by regulativa
measures effecting the quantity pro-
curable by the trade.
Whether we as a nation can use
less sugar will depend, in the final
analysis, upon whether an effort Of
will can limit our sugar craving and
sugar pleasures. That will take
sheer backbone. Have we got that
hackbone-that character?"

BACKBONE NEEDED TO
DENY "SWEET TOOTH

There Is one food which practi-
cally everyone likes" says a recent
food administration bulletin, "and
whether people have strength to
deny themselves is a real test of will
power and character. That food is
sugar.
THE fact that sugar in one form
or another is food which 80 per-
sons in 100 enjoy is no vague theory
demanding demonstration. Every
body is aware how fond children are
of sugar, and the taste is one which

HUNS LEARN AMERICANS
DO NOT GIVE GROUND

II is now possible to arrange an
interesting symposium OF opinions
about the worth OF American SOL
diers at the front. So very much de-
pends on these men that for a long
time the whole world was anxious TO
know whether they could really
fight. Not the least anxious was
Berlin, for good and sufficient reas-
ons. Berlin found out. After Ger
man soldiers had encountered the
sawed-off shotguns, which was Per-
shlng's own idea, the Berlin papers
exclaimed in horror that undoubted-
!y the next American weapon would
be' the aboriginal scalping knife and
tonahawk. Quite possible but never
mind that now.

We always class children, birds and
flowers together. And why? Because
they should be equally beautiful, in
nocent and happy. We should never
rob childhood of its ideal loneliness.
Even old people should be gay, and
happy and good; too good to over
cloud the children's horizon with an
cry eyes and lowering brows, nor turn
their merriment to discord by con-
tinual fault-finding. Allow them all

the undoing of his own son. But it is
