. If we were asked to liame the livliest
and beet town in the etate of Oregon,
we should without a moments hesitation
say, Sampter. A year afto it bad 200
inhabitants, today it baa 800. It baa a
fine electric light plant, ia building a fine
water By eteru. lis streets are not yet
free from underbrush and yet it has good
sidewalks, and a big force of men grad
ing, clearing and building its highways.
It wanted a nearer and better road to
Bonanza and in less than a week raised
$4,000 to bnild it, and it bailtaroad that
is a credit to it. It has a hotel, the
Spencer bouse, that furnishes its tables
as does "the Portland," aid the other
hotel in the town has, as we are told, a
reputation equaling it. It has stages
running to Cracker, to Bonanza, to
Cable Cove, to Granite, and to the other
dozen camps around it. It has a saw
mill cutting 30,000 feet of lumber a day,
and every foot of it is sold weeks in ad
vance.
It is a diamond-in a crown set
ting of gold, for aronnd it, are Cable
Cove, Granite, Bonanza, Robinaonville,
Greenhorn, Cracker Creek, and a dozen
other rich miniDg camps, all of which
get their supplies from Snmpter. It is
a live, wide-awake hustling frontier
town, with western energy and push.
It is a throbbing, feverish, restless grow
ing town, with limitless possibilities and
boundless faith in itself.

Fifteen yaids of silver wire, as large
around as an ordinary hypodermic
needle, have been introduced into and
coiled within bis aorta, the great arte
rial channel leading directly from the
heart. These forty-five feet 'of wire have
been in there for three months and they
have saved his life. They were inserted
at a time when death seemed certain
because of complications ' resulting
from a seriously injured aorta.
Technically the patient's trouble was
aneurism or saculated tumor of the arte
rial wall, and its development to a rup
ture of the aorta was only a question of
time with certain and instant death
the result. The wire was introduced
into the distended or abnormal sac
formed in the aorta, in order partly to
fill it and form there a clot that in time
would contract and be absorbed, thereby
restoring the channel to its normal form

THE OWNER FOUND.
. B. Nell Plows up a Watch Charm
and. Restores It to James Hackett.
A year ago last June, while S. B. Neil
was plowing carrots at his place on the
reservation nine miles west of Pendleton ,
he found a watch charm an elegant
gold locket, containing two locks of hair.
Mr. Neil told a good many people of his
discovery, but could find no trace of the
owner And kept the charm.
Wednesday Mr. Neil was talking to
James Lmdsey and happened to men
tion his find. Mr. Lindsey remembered
hearing that James Hackett, the sheep
man, had lost a charm, and the two
proceeded to hunt np that gentleman.
He was found and the story related. He
seemed much interested and said the
property must be his. He gave an
accurate description and the charm was
restored to him. Inside were the
ringlets from the little heads of hiB two
dead children, and Mr. Hackett was
deeply moved at this sudden reminder
of the past's painful yet tender memories.
Finally he explained the los3 of the
charm. It happened six or seven years
ago when he waa engaged with othera in
rounding up some horses on the reserva
tion. It dropped off near a spring, and
careful search failed to reveal it. The
land has since been plowed six times or
more bv Mr. Neil, and the charm's
recovery is considered a carious incident.
