by the marked increase in the number

The cloudy .threatening weather has at

we need most. Rain at present will

are principally from the western part of j
a terrible accident. They had reached a
point about half way, and were driving
around a high, rocky point when they
met another team. The Judge attempt
ed to back his team to the side of the
road to allDw the other rig to pass by,
but the horses became frightened and
unmanageable and backed off the grade,

low. Mrs. Nosier was instantly killed
and the Judge's life is despaired of. The

One of the horses was killed and the

owners noticed a contraction in their
nana ot sheep for which they could not
account. They began to investigate the
matter and a search of the country re
vealed the fact that the sheep had been
disposed of in Baker county. A war
rant was issued for Matteson and he is
now in the hands of the sheriff. The
sheep were supposed to have been
separated from tho original bands in
Grant county, but the young man hav
ing returned to this county, was taken

tried in Baker county, where the sheep
are supposed to have been disposed of.

The Oregon Press Association held its
eleventh annual session at Baker City
on the 15th, 16th and 17th. and a more
pleasant and profitable meeting has not
been held for some time. The president,
A. W. Patterson, being absent, Vice
President Gault occupied the chair, with
. Tozier as secretary. The business
eetings were interesting, and it seemed
hat each member was anxious that the
seocialion be imbued with new zeal.
Having this in view, a president was
chosen for the coming year whom all
felt was the very man to push forward
this work G. B. Small, of the Baker
City Democrat with D. M. C. Gault as
nrsi vice, j, s. btewart second vice.
lbert Tozier secretary, Chas. Nickell
easurer, George Himes historian, and
. W. Patterson sergeant-at-arms. An
bvitation irom the Washington Press
SBOciation to meet with them in joint
stssion at Spokane next year was ac
cepted.
Certainly every member of the associ
ation feels that have been permitted to
spend three days in a veritable Klon
dike, with none of the difficulties of a
Chilcoot pass, for he who visits the
thriving city of Baker finds citizens and
friends who would smooth even the ter
ror? of a Chilcoot. It was a great treat
to meet in this city at its most prosper
ous time, for indeed it is booming, with
more than a hundred building? now in
course of construction, and scarcely a
building to be had. However, none
were surprised at its growth when they
were driven to the different mines and
saw how the surrounding country is
overflowing with gold.
At a reception held at the opera house
Friday afternoon J. N. R. Bell delivered
a very cordial address of welcome, which
was responded to by Rev. Fisher, of the
Christian Advocate, and some fine muBic
was rendered. After a business meet
ing held later the visitors were invited
to attend a ball in the evening, which
proved a very enjoyable event.
Early next morning, through the
courtesy of the Sumpter Valley Railway
Company, the wonderful little berg,
Sumpter, which has sprung in a few
months from nothing to a lively town,
lighted by electric lights, was visited.
After enjoying the hospitality of these
kind people, all were driven to the E. &
E. mine and taken through the mill
there, and then to the Columbia, where
candles were provided and the visitors
permitted to go through the tunnels. It
gives one a strange feeling to be groping
his way through the darkness, here and
there encountering men who, with pick
and shovel, are digging out the precious
quartz. It is qnite impossible for one
who is not a miner to describe a trip
through mines, and as much has been
said of this sortot thing in The Chroni
cle previously, it is unnecessary. How
ever, it was impossible for any one to
receive such kindly explanations with
out going away with a better under
standing and a feeling of wonder that a.
knight of the pen should be even per
mitted to gaze upon such wealth.
Returning to Baker City, another very
interesting meeting was held, closing
with election of officers. In the evening
a grand banquet waB given at the War
sbauer hotel, which was indeed an en
joyable affair. Nothing was lacking in
the line of eatables, which were served
in grand style, and the toasts and musi
cal program were of the very beBt. Be
side music by the orchestra, Mr. Tiche
nor of Baker City, in his fine baritone
voice, gave two selections, and Mrs.
Dellinger of Astoria favored the guests
with a beautiful solo and responded to
an encore.
On Sunday morning vehicles were
provided and the party- conveyed to the
Flagstaff mine, about six miles from
Baker. This mine is owned by a com
pany in Paris, which has spent $95,000
in developing and getting it in its pres
ent running order. Mr. Emhouse, a
very genial French gentleman, ia mana
ger, and Mr. Reynolds superintendent.
Here also was met Mr. H. B. Morse,
formerly of this city, who is fortunate
enough to hold the position of book
keeper, and Harry is more than pleased
with the place. Light refreshments
were served in the dining headquarters,
when all were taken through the works,
and many were brave enough to explore
further, and climbing into the cage, were
taken down into the, mine, where, with
candles in their hands, they explored
every nook and corner.
"After seeing everything here, most of
the party went over to the famous Vir
tue mine near by, where is also the
Consolidated Virginia. Seemingly j
aware of the fact that newspaper people
seldom are fortunate enough to enjoy a
square meal, the dining quarters of each
of these mines vied with each other in
serving dinner to their guests, part eat
ing at one place and the remainder at
the other. Some at both. Contrary to
their expectation of making a dinner on
beane, bacon, etc., every delicacy to be
found in the city was served, and Mr.
Ferguson, superintendent of the Con.
Virginia, was many times asked how it
was possible to give such a spread in a
mining camp.
At the Virtue one can form a much
better idea of the whole proces?, and as.
pains were taken to explain everything,
it was intensely interesting to go
through. Many were disappointed at
missing the opportunity of going down
800 feet into the mine, which was im
possible' on account of sotre trouble with
the machinery,
Here was met Mr. Virtue, the first
owner of the Virtue mine, who still has
an interest in it, and although not in
the best of health, he was untiring in
his efforts to entertain. Indeed it is
seldom one meets with such genuine
hospitality as was extended from every
quarter on this trip, and After the final
meeting Monday morning, all left Baker
City feeling that they had discovered
pure gold not alone in the mountains
surrounding the city, but also in the
hearts of her citizens.
