Man Hunts Copper
And Finds Gold Vein

In looking for a copper ledge
which he carefully covered up 80
years ago, Mr.. Downey of Grave
creek, has found vien of gold
bearing ore that promises to be the
equal of the Greenback mine in its
best days, says the Grants Pass Cour-
itr.
Copper was not worth much when
Howny found a rich ledge many
years ago, so he covered it up and
left the country for while. Last
year he came back, and as copper
was bringing better price, started
in search for the hidden ore. He
has put IN years labor on the work
but the copper was we'll hidden and
the brush has grown up in such
way that the surrounding country
presents an entirely different aspect
than the mental picture that Downy
had of the hiding place.
His labor was rewarded last week,
however, not by finding the copper,
but by finding trace of two large
veins of gold. The two veins run
together after short distance, max
ing one large vein of extreme rich
ness.
The ledge is just across the creek
form the Columbia mine.

Hoover Asks People
To Eat Less Meat

To meet the needs of the Ameri-

population of France, Great Britain
and Italy, the American people were
asked Wednesday to place themselves
on limited beef allowance from now
until next September.
Householders were requested not
to under any circumstance" buy
more than IL pounds of clear beef
weekly, or l z pounds, including the
bone, for each person in the house
hold
Hotels and restaurants were asked
not to serve boiled beef more than
two meals weekly and roast beef
more than one meal weekly.
The demand for beef for our
army" said the food administration
announcement, "is beyond our pres
ent supply On the other hand, we
/ ave enough increased supply of pork
this summer to permit economical ex-
pansion in its use. 1t, therefore, will
he direct service to our armies and
the allies If our people will in some
degree substitute fresh pork, bacon,
ham and sausage for beef products.
"The public will realize that the
changing conditions make 1t impos-
sible to determine policies for a long
period in advance. We have recently
asked for economy in all meat con-
sumption; we wish now to emphasize
further reduction of beef by the sub
stitution of pork. 1t is anticipated
that this pragram will hold good un-
til September Is, and the co-opera-

War Savings Day To
Be Made Big Success

The national war saving commit
tee, which is carrying on, through its
state and local committees, a nation
wide campaign to get all the people
en- or before June 2S to pledge them
selves to save to the utmost of their
ability and to buy war savings
stamps with their savings, has givel
out the following statement:
Those of us who remain at home
while others do the fighting have an
ever-increasing number of opportuni-
Ties to do definite and highly import
ant work for our country. We wish
to do this work as an expression Of
the gratitude we feel in being privil-
eyed to continue at our usual tasks.
to enjoy the loving companionship Of
cur families, to meet freely with our
friends and neighbors, to enjoy all
the security of life and most of the
pleasures and the economic privil-
eges of peace times while other men,
who have had to put aside all these
things are fighting our battles for cs
on the sacred soil of France and on
the high seas.
Our new opportunity to serve
comes as result Of designating June
2S as national war savings day, a
dav on which all men and women and
all children Of sufficient years to ap-
preciate the days significance are
called upon to pledge themselves to
save to the utmost of their ability and
to conserve all possible labor and ma
tcrials for the government and to buy
war savings stamps with their saw
ings. Our part is to do everything
possible to make this day stand out
among the great days of this period
of the war.
What the government asks us to
do is to pledge ourselves to buy at
definite periods with our savings a
specific amount of war savings
stamps. The thing to be accomplish
ed is to get subscriptions which will
take care during the balance of the
present year of the unsold portion of
the $4,000, 100000 of war savings
stamps authorized by the congress to
be sold during 1918.
When one stops to think of the
matter, it is really small thing to
raise 81, 200, 600, 900 in country OF
more than 1O0,0O0,OOO people. If
everyone would do his share it would
lie necessary for each person to sub
scribe to only $40 worth of stamps.
The duty of us at home is to see
to it that the entire amount is sub
scrihed. We must work to that end.
We must add to our already great
army of war savers. We must make
more sacrifices ourselves and urge
sacrifices upon others. National war
savings day must be made the great
success all of us hope for.

Two Pounds Sugar
Limit Of Purchase

During the past week local mer-
chants received instructions from the
rational food administrator that the
sale of sugar will be reduced to two
pounds at a time No more drastic
food regulation has been issued by
the food administration, which af-
fects the northwest for the first time.
This will not prohibit the purchase
Of sugar by the sack for canning
purposes, however, as large amounts
may be bought by signing state
nent that 1t Is purchased for this pur-
rose.
Reference to the present big de-
mand for sugar for canning pur-
poses and an intimation that activi-
ties of the German submarine may
have curtailed sugar receipts in this
country are contained in the order
OF w. b. Aver, federal food adminis-
traitor for Oregon.
While no definite assurance is
given that reduction of the sugar
purchase limit from 81 worth-11 or
l2 pounds-to 2 pounds will be only
temporary, this is known to be the
hope of the conservation officials.
Country residents have the limit Of
their sugar purchases at any one time
set at five pounds. Per capita con-
sumption regulations remain un
changed at three pounds person a
