GOLD PRODUCTION Is
FALLING SHORT IN OREGON

Gold production In state of Gre
gon has fallen from about $4,000
600 in 1915 to lessath n $1,000, 900
In 1920. Moreover, the decrease in
gold production in this state reflects
the condition of the industry through
out the country, for the total gold
output OF the United States this year
year will be less than $4,000. 600 as
against $1O1, 100000 in 1915.
This alarming decrease in gold pro-
duction is due not to any real deple-
tion OF the mineral wealth of the
state or nation; but to the fact that
every item going into the cost of
gold mining-from the prospector's
meager grubstake to the operation of
the most modern reduction plants
has increased from 90 to 100 per
cent in price, while the market val
ue Of gold has remained constant and
its purchasing power has gradually
decreased.
While the amount OF gold produced
in the country has been growing less.
the amount of this precious metal
consumed in tho arts, crafts and in
dustries, in the manufacture Of jew
elry and for all purposes other than
coinage. now exceeds the total an
nual gold production OF the United
States. That is to say. while $685.
900. .000 worth of gold was produced
in 1919. $50. .OOO.OOO worth was used
In the arts and industries. so that
s22. 100000 less Of gold avail
able for coinage remained at the end
Of the year than at its beginning.
As remedy for the present pre-
carious condition of the gold mining
industry. the Oregon Bureau of
Mines and Geology is urging support
of the McFadden bill introduced in
the United States house OF repre-
sentatiyes last March and now pend.
Ing. This bill provides for the levy
'ng Of an excise tax Of $40 an ounce
on manufactured gold to provide a

of the total sum was expended dur
ing the past ~ months.
The amount expended in road work
includes S1,110,0OO of county money
and 81, 200, 900 of federal funds ap.
propriated for post and forest roads
Both the county money was expended
under the direction OF the state high
way department.
The report shows that approximate
ly 1444 miles of road have been i'm
proved during the biennium as fol-
lows. Grading CSC miles, rock and
gravel 1856 miles, paving 363 miles.
Most of the work was confined to
the Columbia river and Pacific high
ways. Although some OF the feed
ers connecting with these main ar
teries of travel received attention of
the commission.
There are now under contract in
Oregon 3OOb miles OF grading, 25O
miles of rock and gravel and 60
miles OF paving.

TOO MANY ACCIDENTS.

In one column of a metropolitan
paper yesterday were four fatal auto
accidents recorded, one after an
other. A Eugene lady, 70, law
yer of McMinneyille, prominent man
of Beaverton and a man Of Astoria
we're the four victims. 1t is high
time that people became educated 10
meet the demands of the tlmes-the
age OF motive power Pedestrians
and autoists must learn the same
lessons. In the first place II is Just
as criminal for pedestrians to take
unbelievable chances on crossing
ways of traffic or forgetting the hand
signs of autoists as it Is for autoists
TO speed over crowded streets, cut
corners, forget to sound horns or
give the proper hand signals. The
hand signals are not merely used for
other autos and vehicles, but act as
signals for pedestrians also. While
the rules are old and should be
known by all, we are publishing
them for the good of Ashland peo-
pie. They are as follows:
(a) Arm extended horizontally
from either the right or left side OF
the vehicle shall indicate turn In
the direction in which the arm is ex-
tended.
(b) Arm extended downward
from either right or left side of the
vehicle shall indicate stop.
(c) Arm extended upward from
the right side of the vehicle shall
Indicate a turn to the eft.
(d) Arm extended upward from
the left side of the vehicle shall in
dicate turn to the right.

MOTORIsTs,TO FIND
WINTER ROADS OPEN

!
Motorists wlll>have no difficulty
in going over the Siskiyou mountains
this winter for ample provision will
be made to keep the Pacific highway
open even II heavy snowfall should
create a temporary blockade. So
far this fall there has been no snow
to impede the traffic on the high
way. Oskar Huber, of Portland,
who has the contract for building
the Pacific highway in Jackson coun.
ty to the California state line, has
completed his contract with the ex-
ception of one and o half miles. This
small stretch will not be built this
year, representatives of the company
state. The remaining gap In the
highway Is not bad piece OF road
and has but a six per cent grade. The
road that Is constructed through the
county up the Siskiyous is 16 feet
wide with heavy pavement laid on
five inch base, making 1t capable
of withstanding heavy traffic.
Snow in the Siskiyou mountains
varies each year on this line of travel.
Last year there was fall of three
feet in December, but the snow did
not remain long on the ground. Mo-
torists who have travelled the road
south from the Willamette Valley
many winters state that II 1t Is pos
sible to get through from Roseburg
It will be easy travelling over the
SiskiyOus from Ashland on into Cali
fornia. The snowfall last year was
the heaviest In years.
The county commissioners OF Jack
son county have agreed to let the
State Highway commission use one of
their caterpillar motors in the event
of heavy snowfall on the mountain,
and X. e. Hodgman, district en-
gineer of the State Highway commits
sion, who is located in Jackson coun-
ty. has guaranteed to see that the
highway over the mountain to the
California state line Is kept open all
winter, no matter how heavy the
snowfall may be.
Both Mr. Hodgman and the county
commissioners state that motorists
may have no fear of getting through
from Ashland over the Siskiyous
henceforth during the winter sea-
son, as construction work has been
hurried along this fall so as to hake
1t possible for all year travel over
this route.
