BAKER CITY. Or., April 29. Baker City
Is largely Indebted for the progress which
it has made In the past year to its pro
. jgresslve Chamber of Commerce. In April,
" 1K, the need of puch a, body was appar
eit, and the business and professional
-anen promptly organized it. The object
Is the advancement of the commercial
interests of Baiter City, the development
of the resources of the Eastern Oregon
gold fields, and the cultivation of closer
relations between all business interests.
The Chamber reaches out for everything
that promises gain lor the city, and the
people loyally back it up. A good illus
tration of the enterprising spirit of the
Chamber is found in ihe investigation of
tho proposed railroad to Burns. There
is an empire over the Burnt River and
.Powder River divide, and the Baker City
people want it opened and made prpduc
tlve in the large sense. A report snow
ing the amount of probable traffic "was
prepared, and the project would have
been laid before Eastern Investors, had
not the Suropter Valley Railroad taken
it up. In time Burns will get rail com
munication, and the products of Harney
and Grant Counties will find outlet to
tho transcontinental railroads by w&y of
Baker City.
Clnbrooms Opened.
The Chamber of Commerce had noioeeij
long in existence when it realized that it
must have clubrooms to provide a head
quarters for mining men and a meeting
place for merchants when they had dis
missed the cares of the etore. Accord
ingly rooms were leased in the Gelser
block, which was built last Fall from
the proceeds of the sale of the Bonanza
inlne. The rooms were ready Aprl 1,
but were not formally opened until the
Sth. They are fitted with the,"best furn.1
turo obtainable, and are comfortable,
Tvell-Hghted and cheery. Billiard, pool,
card and reading tables and cabinets of
mineral specimens occupy the main halL
There Is a cosy room for letter-writing,
and another for the directors. The rooms
were fitted up at a cost of $1200. Not
withstanding the great expense to which
the Chamber was put in furnishing its
new home, its Indebtedness Is only $300.
The present membership Is 140. Sevejity
flve names have been added to the o!l
since the rooms were opened.
"Worli for the First Year.
Immediately upon its organization, a
year ago, the Chamber entered upon its
"work of acquainting the world with the
fact that Baker City Is the metropolis of
Eastern Oregon. Secretary Miller "was in
structed to prepare a commercial report
on the gold fields. An illustrated pamph
let, giving practically a complete list
of the mines and prospects of the camps
surrounding Baker City, together with
statistics regarding lumbering, stock-raising
and farming, was published. The
Chamber has circulated 5000 of these re
ports, and so great Is the demand for
them from all parts of the United States
and- Canada that a new and revised edi
tion will be Issued at once.
Acting in conjunction with the Chamber,
the people of Baker City raised $1300 for
a celebration last Fourth of July.
A committee was appointed to inquire
into the cause of the bad roads leading
.from Baker City, and to urge the County
Board-und Road Supervisors to repair the
roada.- A committee was also appointed ,
to investigate the cause of the nonpay-'
ment of road tax and to Insist upon the
collection of the same, and also to Inquire
the cause of so much delinquent county
and state taxes.
To satisfy the demand for Immediate
faots concerning the gold fields, 10,000 cir
culars were'prlnted ,and distributed Jn,the
various mining towns of the West.i. .. .
A proposition to pay J200 for 500 mall
boxes of ore samples to be given 'to mem
bers of the National Editorial Associa
tion was discussed, and It was desired
to have a mineral exhibit at the Armory
Hall, which exhibition was made. The re
sult, so far as known. Is that over 400 ar
ticles have been published in papers
owned by the visiting editors, mentioning
the visit and entertainment at Baker City
and the resources of the gold fields.
The question of having a mineral ex
hibit at the Paris exposition this year was
discussed. A committee was appointed,
correspondence opened and every reason
able effort was made to secure the nec
essary minerals, but little interest .was
taken by the public, and a creditable ex
hibit not being secured, the matter was
dropped.
A" proposition to locate a grist mill
was considered, and water-power and lo
cation was secured, after which the in
tending Imestor failed to appear.
An investigation Into the proposed rail
road route to John Day was ordered made
by a committee. The committee recom
mended that the secretary proceed to In
vestigate the possible freight resources
along the proposed route as far as Burns.
The Investigation was made, and the re
port showed ample freight to support a
road. A railroad map was made, and 'the
whole question was placed before the of
ficials of the Sumpter Valley Railroad,
and also of the O. R. & N., with the re
sult that 16 es of new road will "be built
this Spring.
The secretary was ordered to have 25
blue prints made for distribution among
the mining companies, which maps were
made.
A request for WOO was made to defray
the expenses of exhibit of ores at the
Spokane industrial fair. The money was
raised by subscription and a successful
exhibit made.
Betw een its organization, April 2L JSS9,
and January 29. 1S00, the Chamber re
ceived J1S69, and disbursed J1S34 35. The
expenditures cover a wide range of .sub
jects. The improvement of the Pine Creek
wagon road, leading to Ballard's Landing
and Seven Devils mines, required $693 50,
of which the business men of the -city
subscribed $3 50, and the O. R. & N.
Co. S2. EnteWalninent of the National
Editorial Association co.t 52S9, of which
$215 25 was raised, by subscription, the defi
cit being paid by the Chamber. For ad-T
vertlsing Baker City and the resources of
the Eastern Oregon sold belt in. the East,'
5237 was spent. The -making of a report
and map on freight and other matters
or Interest pertaining to the proposed"
Baker City & Harney Railroad required
$163 55. u,.. - , .
The O. R. & NISiflrertd to transport free
a large exhibit of ores from the1 leading
mines to make a mineral exhibit at Chi
cago. New York and Boston. As $3000
woutd be required to collect the exhibit,
the proposition was not entertained.
Correspondence was opened with the
Oregon delegation in Congress as to the
location or an assay office at Baker Cjty.
A reporl.on the mineral output, present
and prospective, was sent to each mem
ber of the delegation. The delegatlon"waa
also petitioned to make an effort to ob
tain a geological survey of the Eastern
Oregon gold belt. Both requests received
prompt attention from the delegation.

.EASTERN MULTNOMAH.
Frost Damaged Fxalt Enterprises
at Trontdale.
The entire fruit crop of Eastern Mult
nomah has been severely injured by the
continued cold weather and severe morn
ings frosts. The prune crop has suffered
the most, and may be a total 'failure
again this year. B. H. Bowman's fine
orchard on the Base Line will not bo
worth picking next FrVl; neither will that
of William New at Powell's Valley. Others
report the same condition. Appl and
pears have suffered also to a great ex
tent, but cherries and berries will be a
fair crop. "Frultralsers of this section are
greatly discouraged, as they made so little
out of their crops last year.
Elevntor Bnllt.
A new elevator on the endless chain prin.
clplo has just been finished at Troutdale
for the purpose of taking railroad ties
from the Sandy River and loading them
on the cars. A new engine and boiler
house has been built on the bank of the
river, over which the elevator runs. It Is
about 300 feet in length, and all that is
needed is to float the ties over the chain,
which idoes fhar rest. It was put up by
the Bramhall Mill Company, and will "be
used by them, Cummlngs & Co. and the
Uenzles mills. About GO.OOO ties ore now In
the river awaiting shipment, and the out
put will continue at the rate of about 2000
per day.
Lumber for Shanlko.
Cone's mill, at Troutdale, is now ship
ping four carloads of aressed lumber to
Shaniko, Moro County, which "will beUBed
in the construction of a grain elevator
at that place. The shipment comprises
70,000 feet. Cone's mill is now cutting
about 50.000 feet of lumber per day, in
cluding railroad ties. Thursday they broke
the record for cutting ties, the number
reaching 957. The company now has about

'Zoo At Trontdale.
Several enterprising citizens of Trout

small scale. It will be free to the public,
the object being to attract bicyclists and
others during the Summer season. Mr
William Latourell will be the manager.

O. L. MILLER.
Baker City is fortunate in having for the Secretary of its Chamber of Commerce a man
who has an intimate knowledge of the gold belt. Mr. Miller is the law partner of Judge M.
L. Olmsted. He has been over the country several times, and knows the location of eery
mine and mill, and can give, a close opinion of tho value of the ore or every district. II U
reports are noted for their conservatism and trust Orthlness. Two which have attracted a
great deal of attention are those, on the "resources of the gold belt and pa the tratac that

SOCIAL DEMOCRATS.
Their State Convention Met In Port
land Last Night.
For Congress, Second IMstrict Joseph
Melndl, of Oregon City.
This was the only nomination made by
the Social Democratic party last night.
An attempt was made to nominate a can
didate from the First District, when five
Portland men, one after another, stood
up and In cold blood, declined the honor.
The state Social Democratic Convention
wa& called to order at S o'clock last night
in room 403 Marquam building. T. C.
"Wendland, of Portland, was made chair
man, and J. E. RImbolt secretary.
Long before the convention was called
to order, there were signs of a fight over
the question of putting up a ticket. Some
favored a full ticket, others wanted none,
while there was an element present In
favor of putting up only as many candi
dates as there were members present.
A silent count showed 13 present. This
being an unlucky number, the reporter
was counted to get on the lucky side.
Then a credentials committee, a com
mittee on business, and a platform, com
mittee were appointed.
The committee on credentials, consisting
of R. a Clyde. C C. Richards and H. A.
French, made a report to the effect that
none but regularly appointed delegates
be allowed a voice in the deliberations.
This shut out two or three, who had
proxies, but for the sake of a crowd, they
were rrvited to remain In the hall.
A committee on order of business was
named, consisting of J. D. Stevens, R.
C. Clyde, and A. Grieb. The report of
this committee recommended the putting
up of a full state, county and city ticket.
A, member of the committee moved that
J the report be adopted. Another member
opposed Its adoption on the ground that
there were not enough members of the
party present to fill the offices.
R. C. Clyde made a red-hot speech, ad
vocating the nomination of a full ticket
He declared that Multnomah could poll
from S00 to 1500 votes for a Socialistic can
didate. J. D. Stevens, while claiming that there
were 10.000 Socialistic votes in the state,
opposed the adoption. of his committee's
report. He admitted that ho had con
curred in the report, but said any one
could see that there were not enough
present to fill half of the offices, and as
the chair had already ruled that nono
but those present could be nominated, he
claimed that they were in no position to
put up a full ticket.
Eloquence ran riot for a time. Every
body was afraid that somebody would
think that the party had been rubbing el
bows with some outside Influence Final
ly, the report was adopted, and then, upon
motion of J. E. RImbolt, was reconsid
ered, and an amendment offered and
adopted to the effect that only four elec
tors and two Congressmen be nominated.
In some manner the platform commit
tee, composed of J. D. Stevens, of Clack
amas; H. A. French, and J. Hlnck, of
Portland, got lost In the shuffle, and
failed to make a report.
After considerable discussion in which
restrained eloquence again escaped in
large quantities. It was determined to
leave the selection of the four electors
to State Organizer J. D. Stevens, who
Is to confer with the various branches
throughout the state, with reference to
the matter.

tle trouble was found In inducing Joseph
Melndl to accept the honor. But the tug-of-war
came when a man was to be
chosen from the Second District. Every
man present from the district, except the
visitors, was nominated. As fast as one
was put In nomination he arose and de
clined. C C. Richards declined on the
ground that he had no time to make the
race; Chairman Wendland positively de
clined without giving a reason; J. Hlnck
could not afford to run, because he could
not leave his business if elected; RImbolt
preferred the Oregon climate to that of
Washington City; Grleb was not a citi
zen of the United States; R. C. Clyde
begged off on the ground that he had no
whiskers, and could not 'hope to poll the
rural vote.
Finally, it wa3 decided to adjourn until
tonight, when it is expected that a vic
tim will be on hand.
The county convention will also be held
tonight, when the question of putting up
a county and city ticket will again come
up.
Speakers last night declared that they
could count on more than half of the labor
.vote of the city.
