EUREKA IS GREAT
New Copper Camp of Wal

DEVELOPING OK SRAHD SCALE
Caatern Company Erecting Mill and

FIT Klrer Copper entlfal.
As yet & mere hamlet, "but perhaps des
tined to become the great copper camp of
the -world such la Eureka, in Wallowa
County, -where the Imnaha flowa Into
Snake River. Vast evidences of copper
wealth in a region so rugged and hard
of access that prospector and capitalist
have feared to search Its stupendous
heights and plunging slopes of such is the
talo from the lips of J. X. Williamson.
Oregon's Representative to Congress. The
earth has opened up i marvel there and
a new town is on the road to fame, per
haps another rival of Butte.
Sir. Williamson has Just returned from
Wallowa County. Yesterday he stayed
over in Portland on his way to Astoria.
"It's a tremendous enterprise at Eureka,"
eaid he. "The company, backed by Chi
cago capital, has secured a mineral prop
erty worth $1,000,000. It Is spending half a
million dollars in machinery and develop
ment. It is building a stamp mill and
smelter to cost $2,000, and baa construct
ed a steamboat at a cost of 520,000, and
eight miles of road at a cost of 510,000,
down a mountain which drops 4000, feet
before reaching Snake River. The com
pany is putting In two sawmills, and has
on electric plant with which it drills eight
or ten feet dally, working night and day."
Eureka is only a few weeks old, but
already it has a 100-room hotel, two mer
chandise stores, a drug store, a black
smith shop and a population of 100. Pros
pectors, some In parties of half a dozen
men or more, are digging into the moun
tains high and low. The dumps stand out
against the mountain sides around and
above the town. "They look llge badger
holes," said Mr. Williamson
"My visit to the place wast mainly to
enable me to gather information about the
region. I mast confer that I was In
formed In ways I had no idea of. And
most othor citizens of the state, I think,
will find as many things to marvel at as
I did. Wallowa County is developing tre
mendously fast. Ifs remarkable, wonder
ful, the pace at which the county la set
tling. Oregon as a whole realises only
faintly what Wallowa lfl doing.
"Thousands and thousands of acres of
land are being made tillable by private
Irrigation projects near Enterprise and
Joseph. Many miles of canal are being
dug. One man, Jennings, I believe, ie his
name, is preparing to Irrigate his ranch of
1000 acres. This Irrigation work has been
under way for about two years, I under
stand, and its fruit will soon appear. I
must say that Wallowa Valley can no
where bo surpassed for its beauty and
fertility. Even beautiful Grand Ronde
cannot outdo Wallowa's charms."
The Journey from Elgin to Joseph. En
terprise and Eureka Is made by wagon.
"The country is in great need of Improved
transportation facilities," said Mr. Will
iamson. "This need could be satisfied by
an electric railroad from Elgin. The en
ergy that Is working so many marvels
under tbe handicap of poor transportation
would certainly work miracles with a rail
road." Mr. Williamson then described tho fer
tility of Wallowa lands for the various
products of agriculture. He did not forget
to mention the livestock industry, which
Is attaining large proportions, nor the
peerless' hogs, lor which that industry is
particularly noted. Tho wheat-fed hogs
of Wallowa have no superior anywhere
on earth, not even in the corn-fed regions
of the Middle West.
Part of Mr. Williamson's mission was
to look after the establishment of mall
service between Eureka and Joseph. This
service will soon be instituted.
Vp to a few weeks ago all the supplies
of Eureka and all the heavy mining ma
chinery had to be hauled by horses from
Elgin. The long pull was extremely diffi
cult and expensive, owing to the rugged -xices
of the country through which the
road coursed its way to Snake River.
But recently a steamboat, the Imnaha,
has been plying between Eureka and Lcw
iston, a distance of 45 miles. This steam
boat Is worked hard, and Is unable to
transport all the freight that is in wait
ing. She has conveyed large quantities of
machinery and lumber up to Eureka.
Trade between the two places is grow
ing rapidly," aald Mr. Williamson. "Mer
chants of Lewlston already have said that
tho trado has hud an :ippreclable effect on
their business."
Tho Snako and Imnaha Rivers flow in
very deep canyons. The gorge of the
Snake has been tho terror of many a
pioneer and of many a tra-eler. When a
person approaches from Joseph and sud
denly looks Into the canyon of the Im
naha, his vision sink; to a depth of 4000
feet before it reachs the river. Down
this height the wagon road winds Its way
for a distance of eight miles before It
enters Eureka.
"The town has had a remarkably fast
growth." said Mr. Wllltam.-wn. "No, there
are no dwellings yet. but houses will be
put up Just as soon as the mwmills get
to operating. The mining company has
about SOW acres from which to cut tim
ber. Just now tho jeople are living in
camps. Only a few men have their fami
lies with them, but in a short time the
community will be enjoying the conven
iences of modern social life."
The mountains have unlimited stores of
copper. Beyond Snako River to the east
ward lies the Sevon Devils district- Tho
physical character of the whole country
roundabout bears unmistakable evidences
of copper. "Those evidences are so ex
tensive." tsld Mr. Williamson, "and the
region is bo vast, that -the greatest mln
irsfr camp in the world may spring Into ex
istence there. When a single company
ventures to invest half a million dollars
at Eureka, the -rigns are that very rich
stores of wealth are buried under these
hills."
Tho region has not teen developed bufore
because no company lias hitherto appeared
which has had sufficient money to over
come the extreme difficulties of transpor
tation. IDAHO MINES BOOMING.
P. f. Shelby Tell of Froprresm in
Thunder Mountain Country.
"The mining industry in Idaho is boom
ing." said P. P. Shelby, 'former manager
of the. Great Xorthitrn Railroad on the
Pacific Coast, but now manager of tho
Pacific. Idaho & Northern, which Is being
extended from Weiser Into the Seven
Devils country, as ho sat on the veranda
of the Portland breathing in the evening
breeze with obvious sajoyment. "I am In
terested in the Thunder Mountain country,
having a controlllajr interest in seven
claims, but have nothing for sale. I am
simply developing my claim. Many poo.
pie aro coming in from Colorado. "Penn
sylvania and Missouri and developing
tholr properties. The Dewey mill Is work
ing right altng and turning out gold.
The state of Idaho lias put up 530,140 and
the big mining companies have subscribed
another J3i,000 and are balMlng a wagon
road frcm Long Valley to Tauador
Mountain, which they expect to have
finished by October.
"The Pacific Idaho & Northern road is
"built from Weiser to Council. 60 miles, and
expects to resume work soon and build
It 40 miles farther. Tho Ladd Metals
Company, of your city, U also zivin? ns
smelting facilities. It has. one smelter
erected at 'Mineral and is building another
at Homestead. Or.. Just across the Snake
River from Seven Devils. It has shipped
In the machinery and expects to have It
In operation in 40 days."
Mr. Shelby Is one of many railroad men
who have branched out from railroading
to make a success of mining. J. D. Far
rell, president of the Pacific Coast Compa
ny, resigned the office of general superin
tendent of the Great Northern, to operate
mines in the Slocan district of British
Columbia, by which he made a com
fortable fortune. D. Cv Corbln. the build
er of the Spokane Falls & Northern, and
E. J. Roberta, formerly chief engineer of
that road, also invested largely in the
Trail Creek and Boundary Creek districts
of British Columbia usd came out ahead.
GOULD WILL BE CAPTAIN
To fiacceed Baker la Command of
Company' F.
Major F. S. Baker will be succeeded in
command of Company F. Third Infantry,
O. X. G., by First "Lieutenant William I
Gould, who Is to be elected Captain. Ser
geant Albert H. Wey will be chosen First
lieutenant to succeed lieutenant Gould.
The election of lieutenant Gould and
Sergeant Wey was made certain at a cau
cus held by Company F at the Armory
last evening. Each man was unanimous
ly agreed upon for his position. If possi
ble the formal election will be held Mon
day e-ening. An election will be called
by Adjutant-General Gantenbein as soon
as formal notice of the vacancy is con
veyed to him by Major Baker.
Mr. Gould is employed in the Mer
chants National Bank and Mr. Wey is
cashier for Mason, Ehrman & Co. Both
aro well known In Portland.
The selection of lieutenant Gould as
Captain of Company F Is the logical result
of the promotion of Captain Baker. He
hegan his service with Company F when
Major Baker Joined the organlratlon, and
has served as First lieutenant under Mr.
Baker for tho entire length of time during
which the latter was in comriand of the
company. lieutenant Gould Is an excel
lent tactician, and has the confidence of
the men in the company.
Both Mr. Gould and Mr. Wey have
served in the National Guard for more
than four years. Mr. Gould was mado a
Sergeant In Company F when the com
pany was organized, five years ago, and
bad prior to that time been a member
of the guard. Sergeant Wey served for
three years aa Second Sergeant In Com
pany F.
If any surprise outside military circles
Is occasioned by the election, it will be
from tho fact that Sergeant Wey is
chosen to succeed lieutenant Gould as
First lieutenant. Mr. Wey Is well known
in Portland, and popular among members
of the National Guard. His ability as a
commanding officer is responsible for his
promotion.
The fact that would make the election
surprising is that Mr. Wey's term of en
listment recently expired and he was not
closely identified with the company at the
time he was picked to succeed lieutenant
Gould. His four years' work with the
company Is satisfactory guarantee of his
ability.
No change in tho office of Second lieu
tenant of Company F is caused by Major
Baker's promotion. This is a position held
by W. F. Allen, and he will continue to
hold a commission as Second lieutenant.
It Is expected that commissions will
Issue to Major Baker, Captain Gould and
lieutenant Wey before the Third Infantry
goes into camp next month, and there will
be no breaks In the list of officers when
the organization Is in the field.
Whatever his decision may be with re
gard to the detail to go to Fort Leaven
worth for a year's study, Major Baker is
certain to go with the Third Infantry into
camp. It Is understood in military circles
that it is not necessary to convey an Inti
mation of an officer's intention to respond
or refuse to go to Leavenworth until Sep
tember, and Major Baker will not make
an answer until that time.
Among the friends of Major Baker the
conviction Is growing that he will remain
In Portland and tho detail may be offered
another member of the regiment. Major
Baker Is inclined to believe that private
life offers greater Inducements, through
business channels, than Is held out to men
in the regular Army. Unless he overcomes
this feeling it Is doubtful whether he ac
cepts the detail.
In the event an Army were to be called
Into the field, connection with the Na
tional Guard Insures Major Baker a posi
tion in the service. Under the Dick bill
the guard, or any part of It called Into
servico, would be accepted as an organi
zation, and under such circumstances Ma
jor Baker would go out In whatever posi
tion he was filling at tho time. At present
he Is a Major, a position considerably In
advanco of any he would be likely to at
tain for several years In the regular
Army. This fact has Its weight In deter
mining the officer's action.
EVEREST AGAIN" BANDMASTER.
Scheme to Add IlroTrn's to Third
KcRlment Band Falls.
John H. Everest has been reappointed
bandmaster of the Third Regiment. Ore
gon National Guard, and he and the
band have enlisted for another three
years. Tholr time for ro-enllstlng re
cently expired. Some little time ago. It
was talked of among musicians In this
city that there was a probability of the
members of Brown's Park Band Joining
the Third Regiment Band, with Charles
L. Brown as leader, so that one big mili
tary band be formed superior to any
other of a like nature along the entlro
Pacific Coast. But after inquiries were
made. It was pointed out that such an
amalgamation was not possible, as many
of the members of Brown's Band are em
ployed In various theater orchestras and
they cannot get leave of absenco when
the Third Reglmont Band would be or
dered on duty out of the city. So
the deal with Brown's Band fell through,
and It was considered also that the
"Brownies" would have a more satisfac
tory and profitable future as a separate
organization.
At every concert given by Brown's
Band this season, better and more artis
tic work Is being done, and tho playing
and blending are showing up as well as
could be desired by tho most exacting
critic. The business men who have sub
scribed to the fund are pleased with the
success of the band, and there Is little
doubt that tho subscription bo in
creased next season, allowing more brass
hand Instruments and timpani to be
used.
ADVANCE IN ADVERTISING
American Lend in the Art.
Frank Presbery, of Npw York, tho well
known advirtlsing agent and vice-president
of the Association of American Ad
vertising Agents, in a recent lecture at
Chautauqua on the "Evolution In Adver
tising." said:
"Advertising Is as old as the human
race, but it has two histories, the his
tory of advertising as an institution, and
Its history aa an art. The history of the
art of advertising hegan yesterday, but
advertising proper runs back through the
ages and Into the haze that hides tho
beginnings of humanity. Advertising in
our own country began with the estab
lishment of newspapers, and America
may fairly claim to have developed ad
vertising as an art. Tho .development of
advertising Is very recent, a matter of
less than 3 years.
"Advertising has wrought a revolution
In the periodical literature within the
last two decades and has Drought down
tho cost of our newspapers, giving us
more of them and enlarging their circu
lation and influence. We are a Nation of
advertisers. America also leads In the ex
cellence of its advertisements from an
artistic, as well as literary standpoint.
It is one of the modern manifestations
of a part of our machinery for living, and
it is Improving the lives of the masses
by cheapening luxuries and teaching their
uses."
HORSE TAKES HIS LIFE
COMMITS SUICIDE RATHER THAN
CVORK. -
Owner Tries to Start en a Drive
When the Animal Crashes Its
Otth SIchIL
A. H. Metcalf, of the East Side, owns
a ranch of 40 acres on Deny Creek, and
while there Sunday a valuable horse com
mitted suicide by knocking his brains
out agalnsj; the ground, rather than work.
Mr. Metcalf, who has handled horses all
his life, says it was the most remark
able case he ever saw or heard of.
"Tho horse," he said, "had "been "Yrorked
before and never given trouble. I hitched
the animal up to have a" little drive,
hut when I tried to start the hprse he
refused to budge. I went to bis head and
caught hold of the bridle intending to
lead the animal a little way. I started to
pull on the bridle gently, when the horse
made a sudden quick awing of his head
and struck the back and side of his bead
on the ground a hard blow. It was done
so quickly that I could hardly tell how It
happened. The horse fell over In the
harness. I then started to remove the
harness, but before I had finished the
animal waa stone dead. It all occurred In
a few minutes. On examination I found
that tbe skull of the horse had been
crushed. I looked for a rock or some
thing hard on which the horse could
have struck his head, but found nothing.
The animal had simply struck his head
against the ground with such' force as
to crush his skull."
DEPOT FOR G41ESHAM.
Oregon "Water Power & Railway
Company Makes Improvements.
At Gresbam work is in progress on a
depot building on Johnson Creek for the
Oregon Water Power & Railway Com
pany, which will be an ample structure.
Leading to the depot there is a heavy
grade from the main portion of Gres
ham which will bother a team with a
load, but this can be remedied by filling
up the embankment. At one end of the
depot the foundation for a subpower
statlon has been completed. A deep con
crete foundation has been laid for the
dynamo. Large quantities of concrete,
sand and gravel have been sent for this
substation. This will be a transmitter,
or subpower-Btatlon, so that Gresham
can be supplied with electricity for lights
and for power If desired. As Gresham is
central to a great farming district, elec
tric power may bo used for many pur
poses. Since the railway was completed Gres
ham has become a bustling, prosperous
town. A number of excellent business
buildings have been built In Gresham,
which have more than taken the place
of tho ones which were burned down.
Many new cottages are being put up, and
the place shows a substantial growth.
Many farmers do business here, and It
will bo a shipping point for a largo dis
trict. Vlclonn Dogr Cnnacn LI Mention.
Tae Constable's suit in Justice Seton's
court to determine rights of property in
the case of Scott Alderson and wife
against Constable Keenan. which was to
have been tried out before a Constable's
Jury yesterday, was withdrawn. It was
the outgrowth of a suit for damages of
Lilian Kane against Scott Alderson and
wife, caused by injuries sustained by her
from the bite of a dog owned by Mr. and
Mrs. Alderson. Judgment was rendered
by Justice Scton for 530 for plaintiff, and
Constable Keenan seized some property to
secure the amount. The withdrawal of
the Constable's case was the result of a
damage suit for 51150 started by Mr. and
Mrs. Alderson against Constable Keenan
alleged to have been sustained through
seizure of property to make good the 550
Judgment. Constable Keenan says he Is
not worrying much over the outcome of
the case.
Milwnukle Route GroYrlnrr.
Wayne Bunnell, carrier for tho rural
mall route south from Mllwaukle, says
that there has been a great increase In
the amount of mall now delivered over
what he handled for the first few months.
He says that he now 'handles more than
6000 pieces per month. The people on that
route were a little slow to appreciate hav
ing mall delivered at their homes every
day. but have come to realize Its advan
tages. There are more Germans living on
this route than can be found on any other
In the state. Mr. Bunnell goes south to
the Clackamas River and to the Willam
ette River on the west. When he first
commenced delivering on that route, many
people took no papers, but now they are
taking several.

Tha physician attending little Hawthorne
Ribensdorf. who was trampled by a horse
several weeks ago, reports the child out of
danger. While the blow on the head from
the Iron cork of the horse's shoe was a
heavy one, the skull was not fracturcjd, as
supposed. The child was unconscious for
4S hours. It is not thought that an oper

TO SETTLE UP ESTATES.
Guardians and Executors Are Called
to Time.
Guardians of estates and administrators
and executors are being called to time by
County Judge Webster with a request for
reports of the condition of affairs, and In
some cases sensational developments may
result. In one Instance already it is stat
ed that'an administrator has failed to ac
count for a sale of property amounting
to 5500, and he will bo cited to appear
before the court to show cause why he
has not done so, and what has become
of thejnoney.
There arje 1500 "guardianship cases cov
ering a period of years past, in which re
ports aro lacking, and about 3000 cases
where reports arc long overdue from ad
ministrators and executors. Some of
these date back for 10 or 15 years.
H. H. Northup, when he filled tho offico
of County Judge, endeavored to have
these old cases cleaned up, and succeeded
to some extent, and Judge Cake also tried
to do as much as he could in that direc
tion. Judge Webster has taken hold vigorous
ly, and it is his intention to Inform all
guardians, administrators and executors
that reports are expected at once. There
Is no doubt that In numerous instances
the estates have been fully settled, but
the fact does not appear In the court rec
ords. In some cases the guardians, etc.,
are. dead, and a final adjustment will be
a difficult. If not impossible, matter.
In addition to Informing guardians, ad
ministrators and executors, that reports
are wanted. Judge Webster has also In
structed his clerk. Jay Upton, to advise
the bondsmen concerning the delinquency.
Samples of the letters which are being
mailed are as follows:
Madam You appear oa guardian of the per

FIRST CLAIM AGAINST COUNTY.
Oocnr Collins Injured In Bridge Ac
cident Asks for Settlement.
The first claim growing out of tho Morrison-street
bridge accident was presented
to the County Court yesterday by Attor
neys Dan J. Mnlarkey, G. G. Gammans
and Otto J. Kraemer, representing Oscar
Collins. Mr. Malarkey said that the Joists
and stringers of the bridge were In a de
fective condition, and repairs ought to
have been made by the county authorities
long ago. Judge Webster, after hearing
tho argument, took the matter under ad
visement. The attorney says that if the County
Court declines to make a settlement, ult
for 52000 damages will be filed In the State
Circuit Court. The complaint will recite
that the county authorities, knowing of
the dangerous condition of the bridge,
should have prevented such a large gath
ering on the structure. The County Court
will undoubtedly refuse to pay this claim,
because there are a large number of oth
ers In the hands of these lawyers, and
It will be deemed wise to secure a de
cision of the higher court concerning the
liability of the county, as the sum total
of all the claims will be very large, and
the county has no money to pay.
The county will probably take the posi
tion that the people, in overcrowding the
bridge, which is a public thoroughfare,
did so at their own risk and peril, and
that the railing which gave way was
only a guard to prevent ''persons crossing
the bridge from falling overboard, and
was safe under ordinary circumstances,
but not sufficiently strong to stand the
enormous weight put upon It by the ex
cited crowd gathered to see yie swimming
feat.

Noted BoKton Church to Call Pastor.
BOSTON. Aug. 19. The question of call
ing the Rev. Dr. P. S. Henson. of Brook

OREGON.
Incorporated April 22, 18S7.
Last year there was a very prudent and
thrifty reverend gentleman living In Southern
Oregon. He procured from ua two of our cer
tificates of deposit, payable on 90 days' call,
with interest at 4 per cent per annum. A
short time ago one of these certificates came
back to us from New York City. The reverend
gentleman had made an investment, and he
found that his certificate was as good as cash
to make payment for the same.
It is always good to have your money draw
ing interest until you find a permanent Invest
ment. Call on us and let us give you further
examples of how these certificates work.
