OREGON'S METAL Production FOR
1878 SHOWS TOTAL OF S3,27O,0OO

in output from gold dredges
the total decrease as re-
ported by dredging companies
being $236,900, Aside from dredg-
ing operations gold production was
somewhat increased as a result of
greater output of copper ores which
also carry values in gold.
The silver output is estimated at
S143,500a which is an increase of
$4,000 over 1917 output. The ina
crease in silver is partly due to the
increased production of copper with
which the silver is associated. The
output of copper was valued at
S726,400 an increase of s50,S00.
This increase is attributed to increas-
ed activity in the copper mines OF
Baker and Josephine counties. There
are over 100 producing mines of all
classes in Oregon. OF the deep
mines about % produce gold from
silicious ores while the three oper-
ating dredges and hydraulic mines
account for the remaining produc.
ton.
There are seven active copper
mines in the state and during 1915
80 chromite properties were pro
ducers. Baker county lead in tht
production of all metals with Gran
and Josephine next in order.

ton Churchill, the British minister of
munitions, was so heckled by the
women before whom he spoke in his
home town during the recent parlia-
mentary campaign. that he finally
retorted: Il am only man, not an

composed of women exclusively and
their heckling exceeded that of the
average audience of men.
After Mr.. Churchill had appealed
to the women to stop quizzing him
so sharply. they adopted resolution
supporting his candidacy.

CHINA WANTSTO THROW

London, Dec. 6-tCorrespondence
of the Associated Press)-China
looks to the peace conference for
permission to throw off many OF the
burdens OF extra-territorlality, ac-
cordIng to information received here.
The Chinese hope also to be granted
permission to increase her tariffs to
a point which will give the republic
chance to end the rule Of money
lenders and establish a more stable
currency.
China expects to have Eslngtau re-
stored to her. together with all the
rights held by the Germans at the
time the Japanese took over inter
ests in Shantung peninsula the first
year of the war.
All the entente powers excepting
Russia agreed to waive all payments
OF Boxer indemnity funds to their
various government for an indefinite
time In consideration of China's dec
laration OF war against the centra'
powers. II is believed likely that
China will make an effort to induce
the peace conference to soften the
burden OF the Boxer indemnity by
further postponment or cancellation

OF Denever, Colo, who spoke here at

witness in a case in Denver had con-
fessed to him. The Judge said he
would rather go to Jail than betray
the confidence of boy. The court
fined Judge Lindsey $500. So far, the
Judge has refused to pay this, and
Insists he will go to Jail before he
does.
Members OF the Boys Brotherhood
Republic have started campaign in
Chicago to raise the $500 for the

Platoon Of Artillerymen Arriving
Here Sunday Afternoon With Full
Equipment VIII Be Met BY
Many Interested.

Indications now are that the artill-
erymen who are coming to Maysville
Sunday afternoon to spend the great
er part of the week in Maysville on
recruiting duty, will be able to add
many new recruits to their list. The
operations of the artillerymen at the
fair this week have caused much com
ment among the young men of this
section who seem very much interest
ed.
1t is expected that the soldiers will
be met by quite a few Maysvillians
at their camping grounds on the Coun-
ty Poor Farm Sunday afternoon. They
will arrive here about o'clock in the
afternoon according to the present
schedule and they will probably oc-
cupy the most Of the afternoon In
making camp but during the balance
of the week they will entertain visi'
tors with demonstrations of theil
work in drilling, etc.
Everyone will be welcome to theil
camp grounds all during the week ant
the recruiting Office at the Chamber o
Commerce building will be thrown

learn something about the life of al
artilleryman on the battlefield and IL

COMMITTEE FA|LSTO, 7
Reach UNDERSTAND.
ING ON INCREASE
Laws and Ordinance Committee OF
Council Meets and Adjourns With.
out Doing Anything on the
Proposed Increase Of Po-
llcemen's Salaries.

A called meeting of the Laws and
Ordinance Committee of the City
Council was held Friday evening In
the committee room at the Council
Chamber. The committee was called
together to discuss bringing in an or
dinance at the meeting of council on
Monday evening for increasing the
salaries of the patrolmen on the local
Police Force from $75 per month to
500 but there was little done on this
question for no sooner had majority
of the committee gathered than some
one asked II the committee had yet
been requested by either the council
as a whole or the police committee for
such an ordinance. 1t developed that
they had not received such official re-
quest and a motion to adjourn pre-
vailed.
It appears that the increase In sal
ary is coming from the Laws and Or
dinance Committee and not from the
Police Committee or from the council
and It was pointed out that the Laws
and Ordinance committee had no busi-
ness bringing in such law unless Of
ficially requested.
This point of law will probably
bring the fight for an increase in the
salary Of policemen directly to the
floor of council at next Mondays meet,
ing of the councilmen and it will pro-
bably create much interest and de-
velop into lively debate between the
councilmen if the matter ever Is put
into a motion.
The question is being discussed
rather freely on the streets and many
councilmen and citizens, as well, seen
to think that the increasing in salar!
should begin with the Internal I'm
provement Committees force wher'
the street laborers are being paid
very meager salary, in fact much less
than they could probably receive II
like work from other employers ant
this matter may also develop in thu
course of Monday evenings meeting

ent and acting. Chairman Sulser
stated the cause of the convention and
that Mason county was entitled to Sc

On motion the temporary organiza-
tion was made permanent and immed-
lately Mr.. ]. c. Everett offered a set
of resolutions which appointed all
known Democratic voters present in
person at the convention delegates
and bound them to vote as a unit, the
majority Of the delegates to rule. The
resolutions were adopted unanimous
~ and Immediately motion to ad-
curn was put and carried.
1t had been intimated early in the
weak that there would probably be
IN attempt made to instruct the

ARRANGEMENTSARE
MADE FOR CIRCUIT
COURT OPENING HERE
September Term Of the Mason Circuit
Court Opens Monday Morning
Only q Few Criminal Cases
Are Scheduled For Trial
This Term.

Arrangements are now practically
complete for the opening of the Sep
tember term of the Mason Circuit
Court at the Court House on next
Monday morning at nine o'clock. All
of the grand and petit jurors have
been summoned by the sheriffs who
now have things in readiness for court
to proceed.

Monday morning and the Petit Jurors
on Tuesday morning. At the opening
of court Monday Circuit Judge Newell
will receive and read the reports of
the various county officers and will
then swear the Grand Jury for the
term and instruct them. The grand
jury will then begin investigations and
just what turn this investigation will
take at this term Is not known at the
present time, however, it is Nmore
than likely that both the water situa-
ton in Maysville and the High Cost
of Living agitation will have some
consideration from the jury.
There are but two cases pending
from the lower courts where the pris-
oners are in Jail to have the attention
Of the Grand Jury. One is William
"Sheep" White held from the Police
Court on a charge Of robbery and the
other Is Albert Mallory, held from the
Juvenile court on a charge Of petit
larceny. 1t Is remembered that White
is charged with attacking and robbing
Mr.. william Slack while Mallory is
charged with stealing a number Of
bicycles In the city and selling some

The civil docket will be quite heavy
but the criminal docket will be very
light While there are some 70 oil
more indictments on file in the court

called for trial at this term. Those
