. Baker. Or., Sept. t. The prophecy
the flrat of the year that 19lf would
. be the banner year of cold production
In Baker county bids fair to be ful
filled. More ore and bullion Is being
shlpped than ever before, through the
local sampling works and to the Salt
Lake and Tacpma smelters, and the
year's total will certainly run over the
t,000,000 mark.
Cornucopia Is probably one of the
liveliest camps in the-Northwest at the
present time. The Unlon-Companlan,
Baker Mines company, Last Chance,
Boulder creek placers and smaller prop,
artios combined are averaging around
' 1100,000 a month. The Columbia, never
ceasing operations for the past 20
years, Is contributing its share; tke

and other Mormon basin properties in
the vicinity of the Hal n bow are doing
well.
Snake Blver Bnsy.
The Snake river section is busier
this year than ever in its history and
copper properties standing Idle for
. years., with metal at the present prices,'
can ship at a profit. The Irondyke,
Arkansaw and other Seven Devils cop
per properties are shipping. The Con
nor Creole (old mine's new mill is In
operation and Clark's creek and far
ther down the river In the Homestead
section are full of small claims that
are being developed with good pros
pects. A SO foot ledge of high "Srade
copper ore was struck last week in the
Cox. properties oit Goose creek and the
operators are blocking out ore pre
paratory to sacking and shipping.
The Sumpter district has never
known a better year. The Towder
River Dredging company and Gold Hill
, company are operating dredges with
great success, the former company
being in operation for the third year,
the; pioneer dredge miners In eastern
Oregon. The Morning mine mill Is
gain in operation after several years'
idleness, the Ben Harrison with Its
new oil flotation process milt has re
covered from the recent disaster ' in
which the electric plant caught fire in
- a thunderstorm and was destroyed, and
la running again, while at the Mam
moth and Imperial, ore shipping has
been steady and several new bodies of
high grade opened up the past few
weeks.
Activity Wear Baker.
In the immediate vicinity of Baker,
Stamps are again dropping At the old
. Virtue mine,, the producer of over $3,-
000,000 and now under lease to the
George W. Field company of Boston.
At the Barry, a new mill is In opera
tion and a. wonderfully rich strike was
made a,few weeks ago in the Sanger
mine on Eagle river. Some of the rich
est ore ever discovered in eastern Ore-
"fon was uncovered in the Kelly mine
on Rock creek early In August and
while the owners are keeping the assaji
figures to themselves, miners report
the ledge is from four to eight feet

ness, owner of the Bloomtield mine
and the group of claims about it, in
th Blue Iedge district, brought sam-
pies of ore to this city, Just taken

ing attention. The ore, known as
bornlte of copper, is declared the rich
est Of any ore taken from the Blue
Ledge district. Recently Manager
Jeldness brought ore to this city that
assayed $126.40 to the ton,? $26 of
which was In gold. Old miners of this
region guess that these samples will
run more than twice that figure. The
assay is now in progress.
San FYanHsco capitalists are In
vestigating the Monteith copper group
of claims, on which considerable de
velopment work has been done with
alluring results. This group is also a
part of the Blue Ledge district, near
the terminus of the proposed railroad.
It has not been offered for sale, but'
h. recent visit to that region by rep
resentatives of a syndicate resulted
in an offer. Development work Is pro
ceeding vigorously.'
The Copper King is making lm
.proved showing, as depth of tunnel is
acquired, and much good ore is belns
taken out, preparatory to shipment.
The Blue Ledge mine, the property on
which nearly, a mllMon' dollars' worth
Of work has been done. Is again ready
for operation. Superintendent F. V.
Carnahan is on the ground in readi
ness for orders to get busy.
Activity In this new-old district is

OREGON; PEOPLE ARE
URGED TO CAPITALIZE
CRATER LAKE REGION
District of Great Intrinsic
f Value ' to State, Declares
Stephen T. Mather, Expert
HIGHWAY IS VISITED
Superintendent of Rational parks Eas
Bobby for Davsloptea Hatnral
Xetreata of notion.
In Crater Lake, ' Oregon possesses
one of the greatest scenic assets, in
tlie world and immediate steps should
be taken by Oregon people to more
fullv caDltailss it. Thia in substance
is the opinion of Stephen T. Mather, as
sistant secretary of the interior ae
partment, whose chief concern is the
supertntendency of the national parks.
He spent a few hours, in Portland yes
terday on his way from Crater Lake
to Glacier park, for which point he
left on last night's train.
While here he made a side trip over
the Columbia river highway under the
Joint cheiperonage of Engineer Lancas
ter and Roadmaster Teon, going as far
ad Eagle creek where the United States
forest service is developing a summer
camping ground and building trails up
the canyon.
Trip PleaaM Him.
"I am glad I made the trip over
the highway," said he. "I had heard
considerable of it fn Washington, and,
by the way, it Is getting pretty well
advertised In the east. But when you
read about these things or hear some
one describe them you can not get the
conception of them that you do when
you see them with your own eyes. It
certainly is a great work, both from
a ecenlo and from a construction
standpoint, and is much more lmpres
eive than I had pictured it from de
scriptions of it."
One of the best indications that Mr.
Mather's comment was sincere and not
a mere lip service was his statement
that as soon as he returned to the na
tional capital he would arrange to sepd
the engineer of the park department
out to see the highway with the view
of adapting some of its features of
construction.
He expressed the hope that the
shrubbery and trees along the high
way would be carefully preserved, and
if It were possible to compel all build
ings to conform to a standard that
would not detract from the natural
surroundings.
Park Development Bobby.
Mr. Mather Is one of those rare in
dividuals whp enjoys a princely income
from the borax mines of California
and believes In giving to the public
some return in the way of disinter
ested service. His hobby is the devel
opment of the national park system.
He thinks that scenery fhandlel in a
business way has commercial value
and can be quickly turned Into an eco
nomic asset. He also thinks that in
glory for glory, in beauty for beauty,
tJnited States scenery surpasses that
of any other section of the globe; that
the Swiss Alps are more than offset try
the Rocky, Sierra and Cascade, i an ges;
that the celebrated Canadian Lake
Louise is over matched a dozen times
by our own mountain lakes.
He believes that th American people
want their parks made accessib'e and
developed; want roads and trails
through them, want good hole's with
prices ranging from the lowest to" the
highest, want comfortable ramping
grounds, want lodges and chalets at
scenic points, want good fishing and!
want ths wild animal life conr-erved.
Crater lake Praised.
He also wants the people of Oregon
to become more Interested in Crater
lake.
At a luncheon in his honoir at. the
Chamber of Commerce, he said: "I
want to stir up a new interest in Cra'
ter lake and show you people what It
means to your city to have such an
attraction as Crater lake wit".i!n your
state. It ought to be more highly de
veloped and if you people do not want
to do It I shall call on California peo
ple.'' He suggested that Portland capital
should be employed in Increasing ho
tel facilities and otherwise making it
a place of comfort for the tourist.
Kjuarters of a million dollars in devel
oping Yosemlte," said Mr. Mather.
"They are building hotels, camps and
trails, making the comfort of the trav
eler the supreme object. Added to. this
the government is spending & quar
ter of a million and is doing it because
the people of the state have realized
their opportunity and are aiding. The
government would do the same with
Crater lake. v
"The people of Seattle and Tacoma
are capitalizing Rainier national park
and have raised $200,000 for that pur
pose. "Shall we leave Crater lake to Ore
gon or shall we ak Callfornians to de
velop It?"
Small Is Area.
Mr. Mather touched slightly upon
the proposed Mount Hood national
park and gave the Impression that he
was not very enthusiastic over it as a
national park. It being small in area
and possessing no unique feature.
Mr. Mather on his visit to the var
ious parks is accompanied by Robert S.
Yard who is associated with him in
the creation of public Interest in the
national parks by making them bet
ter known through magazine articles
and other means of publicity.
Speaking of Crater lake. Mr. Tard
said: "I am of the same opinion as
that "of a world wide traveler I met at
the lake. He said there are three great
scenic wonders in the, world and I
place them in this order: The Grand
Canyon or the Colorado, Crater lake
and the Matterhorn."
Among those at the luncheon were:

Lewis County Town Enjoys
Advantages Far Beyond
Its Size.
By C. C. Thohiason.
Doty. Wash., Sept. ; Doty ! an il
lustration of a community that has
been developed with tha support and
assistance of Its largest buins In
terest, that works to help the town
shape its civic institutions along right
linei
When the late W. B. Mersereau and
sons took oevr the big lumber mills
at Doty, in Lewis county, a few years
ago, they instituted the policy of con
tributing to the welfare of their men
out of business hours. The. .community
church has been the chief topic of
discussion at ministerial associations
for half a dozen years or more. Doty
has made the plan a reality.
Instead of having three or fur di
lapidated churches with i o social ad
vantages whatever for the residents
of the community. Doty has one neat
little church, and a, well equipped T.
M. C. A.
The Doty T. M. C. A. is a two-story
structure with a lobby, a band room,
billiard tables, a gymnasium, three
shower baths, a motion picture ma
chine, a ladies' room, reading tables,
game boards, a piano, a well-kept lawn
and outdoor tennis courts. A regular
secretary is employed at a salary of
$1000 a year. The organizations with
in the Y. Mj C. A. Include a band of 20
pieces and a ladies' auxiliary. The
Y. M. C. A. proper has 125 members.
The association is governed by a board
Corvallis Interested
In Paving Plant
Work Done la Other Cities Is Being
Investigated and Proposition Will Be
Taken Up by City Council.
Corvallis, Or., Sept. 2.-The repart
of City Engineer Porter - and M. J.
Brown of the municipal pavlng plant
at Clackamas county, which they in
spected last week, has added to tb in
terest In the municipal paving propo
sition, and at the next meeting of the
city council the matter will be brought
up and no doubt a committee will be
appointed to further investigate the
Clackamas county pi ant and also the
new municipal paving plant at Salem.
Corvatlls has eight miles of hard
surfaced streets, and like Joseph's
coat it is of many colors and was laid
by many contractors. The prices, too,
vary about as much as the contrac
tors. Some is irood, some very poor
and all high priced. There has been
no system. Succeeding administrations
have put in different pavings, differ
ent bases in a patch-work way, and
there is not a yard of bltulithic paving
that has not cost J2 per yard or more,
net.
There are many miles of streets that
must be payed. On account of th na
ture of the soil, all streets will have to
be paved eventually to be passable dur
ing the rainy season. The people have
become very much interested in the
matter of purchasing a plant and doing
their own work, and no doubt thia will
be the result of investigations.

Lumber Production
Normal Last Week
Seattle. Wash., Sept. 2. (P. N. 8.)
Lumber production registered normal
in Washington and Oregon last week,
for the first time in months. It is said
this does not indicate an abandonment
of the individual mill principle of cur
tailment so much as it does a policy of
preparedness, mills crowding through
urgent orders on the strength of
earlier reports from Washington in
dicating a probable Interruption of
traffic.
Shipments by rail, while slightly in
creased over the previous week, war
13.63 per cent below production, due to
a severe car shortage In certain Ore
gon districts. In producing; districts
where car supply was easy, every ef-i
fort was made by the mills, to ex

My offices might well be termed "A Dental Clearing
House" sooner or later patients from Dentists of high and
low degree come to me.
I have become so familiar with the "style of work"
turned out by various Dentists that I can frequently tell t
patient who did his work, after an examination.
And right here I might say that the genius who wrotc
"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" must have had
some Poor Dentists in mind for I have seen such evidence
of incompetence, neglect and downright dishonesty covered
up by gold crowns that I have wondered, how a man who
places the symbols "D. D. S." after his name can be guilty
of such arrant quackery.
I have removed crowns from aching teeth and found
open cavities filled with pus. I have found others with
the filling loose, and even exposed nerves and some of
these cases were former patients of well-known Dentists.
I PRIDE MYSELF ON THE FACT that my examlna
tions and advice are entirely honest and based on the
actual requirements of the patient. If a tooth can be ,
saved, we save it. If a small filling is sufficient, that is
all we advise. If a crown or bridge work is necessary,
I personally guarantee that the tooth will be placed in
an absolutely perfect condition before it is crowned
and the cost will be less than the same work can be
done for elsewhere.
