Sumpter has been called a great many
names: "The Cripple Creek of Ore
gon," "The Johannesburg of America,"
"Tho Klondike at Home," and other
high-sounding titles have been applied
to this little Bonanzaland for 1000.
There is one name, however, which late
events have made most fitting. The
recent rich strike iu tho property of the
Co-operative Gold Mining Company has
given cause for calling Sumpter the
"Butte of the Pacific Slope."
A meeting of the Board of Health, of

Japan ia now turning her attention to
the Pacific Coast for her salmon supply.
M. Goda, of Yokohoma, who represents
several of the largest fish importers of
Japan, has arrived at Seattle from the
Orient. His mission is to purchase be
tween 300,000 and 400,000 salmon for
export t die country. In an interview
with a Seattle reporter he said that fish
have been growing scarce in Japan for
the past four or five years. Prior to a
year ago the Japanese fecund their
supply of salmon off Siberia. Then the
Russians passed a law which practically
expels them from the salmon waters,
and that supplv is thnscnt riff, and they
must now look to the United States for
their supply. The demand for salmon
in the far East will greatly increase
should the panic conditions prevail for
any length of time.
We hope that the bubonic plauue will
not find a lodgement in tins country,
and feel sure that it will not if the of
ficers of the marine-hospital service can
prevent it, says the New York Medical
Journal. There certainly i3 no immi
nent danger of It doing so, but that is
no reason for being blind to or denying
its possibility. The maxim "In time of
peace prepare for war" is as applicable
to sanitary as to military operations,
and when a pestilence reigns in one part
of the globe the people of the rest of the
world should put themselves in a f-tate
of defense rigainst it by every means
that nn intelligent foresight can provide.
We have an immense coast line and
other borders, and it is pretty certain
that alt immigrants to the United States
do not come through ports of entry. In
the case of the Chinese this is somewhat
notorious. Some infected Oriental may
thus find entrance to the country and
transmit the disease to others of his
race. Were this all, the pest might be
stamped out by isolation and quaran
tine; but, where human beings contract
St, the ubiquitous rats and mice also be
come affected with it, and they can
never be isolated nor quarantined.
They tend to spread the pestilence
further and further.

The scouring mill proposition, which
has been before our citizens for the past
few weeks, 1b to soon be a reality. Mr.
J. M. Ruasell has decided to build the
plant on the Sherar property which is
situated directly back of the building
occupied by the First National Bank.
Tbts property is 100x120 feet and is
located adjoining the railroad track
which will make it very convenient.
The old brick building on the corner
will be repaired and used for an office
and a storage warehouse. On the ad
jolng property will bo built n two story
corrugated iron building which will con
tain all the machinery and other ap
paratus necessary tor the successful op
eration of i he plant. Work is to bo
commenced at ouee and the building
will be completed as soon as possible.
Our citizens should be congratu'ated n
securing such an enterprise, for when
capital ia interested in such a proposi
tion us this, it is bound to lead to other
enterprises. It is a fact that a soap
factory and a woolen mill are adjuncts
to a ecouMig mill aud all are advan
tageous, one to tho other.
Before another season cjmes, means
should be taken to secure these manu
factories, and it Is more than likely
something will be done regarding the
matter. At present, however, wo are
more than pleased with the securing of
the scoiiring mill aud will be satisBod to
abide our time aud await further devel
opemeuts. CASTOR LA
