Biker Cltjr. June $0-Ths Uraoul Iro
Dyke copper mines on tha Snake river,
In Baker county, have been sold to the
Erie Truat company of Erie, Pennsyl
vania, for nearly 11,000,006. under deed
of trust and bond. The deeds were filed
for record yesterday morning: tn Baker
county and comprises 100 pages of brief
printed books, and the cost of the com
pany for filing- the deeds was 110 each.
The sale was made last month at
Erie. Pennsylvania. , The consideration
named Is f 300.000 In non-assessabl
' stock of the Iron Dyke company and
t SO 0.000 la first mortgage bonds tn addi
tion to a cash consideration for f 1. The
deed recites that the Erie Trust eonv
' peny holds the property In trust for the
Iron Dyke Copper Mining company,
which is to continue the work of ex
tracting ores, building concentrating and
smelting plants, railroads, etc. and fully
develop the property until the 'profits
have redeemed all the bonds and stock
mentioned In the consideration.
. For years the Iron Dyke copper mines
have been known to be the richest of
the great eastern Oregon copper belt,
feat their location so many miles from
the railroad baa made It Impossible for
their proper development.
Since the announcement of the build
ing of the road down the Snake river
from .Huntington and the commence
ment, of work oil the line, however.
- there i baa - been great activity in -the
Iron Dyke country, and the sale of. the
mine Is one of the results, - - r - r
In the Iron Dyke district there have
been numerous copper claims, upon
...... which ; the ' best showings have been
- . found, which . nave been abandoned by
. original -locators.- during the- past
few years. During that, time the hope
of the-mining men rhst a railroad would
. tap that country within a few years had
about died out. " With, the announce
ment of the construction of the Snake
river road there was a rush Into the
copper belt,- and at present - It is lm-
possible almost to find a claim which
has not been restaked.
' ' A large crew of men has been put at
. work at tbs Iron Dyke, and while there
was already a body of ore blocked out
to run a plant for several years, they
are actively -engaged In going further
Into the ore body, and it Is understood
a plant of mammoth proportions Is
oon to be installed. ,

ing of streets a movement" to 1ea.ytlfy
the residence sections of the city waa
taken up. The object of the meeting
waa to formulate a systematic effort to
secure united action by residence prop
erty owners. . It 1s proposed to narrow
roadway on unimproved streets to a
width of about x feet and park the
ground between the . curb line and the

Ths committee Is composed of F. B.

devoted to a generaldlscussion of the
proposition snd outlining plans of pro
cedure. The committee's action will be
directed for . the present only toward
streets thst have not been paved or
permanently Improved and the support
of property owners and city councllmen
will be sought
Similar beautifying of suburban see
tions and also of residence streets cen
trally located has been successfully cer
ried out-in other cities. At Kansas City
one of the features most admired by
visitors and valued by residents Is a
boulevard In the residence section of the
city, and - efforts are being made to
beautify other streets that are-susceptible
of parking. - The narrowing, of the
roadway will. It Is said, detract noth
ing from the usefulness of the average
residence thoroughfare, and will de
crease the cost of paving. It leaves a
wide strip along each side of the street
to be beautified with grass and flowers
and shrubbery. In Portland It -la pro
posed to make roses a prominent, fea

- t. . Bs. Blaok's Address. '.
"Every sga haa had Its mission and
Its mesaage to ths world and succeeding
ages.' The middle ages had to take the
chaotlo mass ' of past centuries and
bring from it order and civilisation.
Modern times had to solve the problem
of creating wealth and the history of
ths past century tells how well ws havs
succeeded. -
"Greece brought her message of cul
ture, she preached her world sermon
of art. science and. literature, but like
the seed that has germinated, Greece
fell Into decay. Rome arose and with
spear and coat . Of mail ruled the world.
She gave to succeeding ages law and
order -and taught the world organisa
tion. Napoleon blew the war trumpet
and demonatrated the power of arm a
Luther saw the corruption of the church
and Inaugurated the ei-s of reformation.
Elisabeth Introduced the -era of educa
tion. Columbus brings us ths era of
discovery. Franklin-that of invention,
and all these, were but' stepping stones
for tha marvelous industrial era of the
last century. . . '
"Our mission and our message Is not
a matter of choice, the history of the
psst has brought it to us. What Is the
mission of this century T It Is the ad
justment .of social and economlo - prob
lems. Tha Christians duty will bs to
demonstrate that tha principles laid'
down by Jesus can be applied to these
hew conditions and when applied - will
solve the problems." .
The speaker' then went on to snow
how the church needed to live the
teachings of Jesus. .Christians should
know them because they are progres
sive and eternal- and knowing them,
should live them. The hero of - the
twentieth century " will bo tha msn
who a-nlna into the business world will
then give to his associates a practical
demonstration of what the teachings
of Jesus will do for the Individual.
