I i M k 1 I u - ' THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM OREGON , r - SillTEHIS LL Ore and Concentrates in Large Quantities Being Received at Sumpter v..' : . I Doie i Gold4i silver and copper ore and concentrates are: now being bought by the Sumpter Valley . smelter, at Sumpter. according to information received by W. E. Crews, state corporation commis sioner, and the smelter company announces that it Is niw ready to 'operate. - , jr , During the last several months Important improvements have been, made In the plant. The en- tire smelter has. been overhauled and equipped with electrio power. All railroad lines reaching a the smelter have granted very , satis factory freight rates and mining men are of the opinion that from now on the smelter will be oper ated at a profit ;. Ore Coming In . Ore is being received in consid erable quantities and the company lias a very large amount of fuel , coke, stored at Sumpter-and more is said to be,'; aff lying vda;iyj Pro- duclns properties along..'; 'Snake r!ver and in Idaho arc contribut ing ora to t lie "plant: -" . ; ' George ': Lseav -secretary of : the comjanyJs(pre8ses himself5 as r very ,jaViti8fid' with the pro gress fbeinj; ,ihaVfya.

The location of tbe ; smelter at Sampler-makes It pos sible to mine and ship ore 'that would not pay if sent to more dis tant points. r ' Pay. Not Held Up. Ore received at the Sumpter plant is paid for immediately up on completion of the sampling. ; This gives the miner the money he needs . to continue work.' It -is said that .this arrangement has greatly increased the public con fidence in the enterprise. ' ! The .Baker Chamber of Commerce is making plans for a big celebration at Sumpter when the - smelter "blows in. With reference to any other smelter projects In the state, Mr. Larsen, in a" letter to llr. Crews, says: .- : - Z v-r 'V ' : '. lv' ' lBterest Mutual 'r Wtr.iaM;' spurted itai toolkit Terhaps we mishtrbe of some ben efit 4xany-organization which is in the making.. It is some task to convince financial jeople that a smelter can-operate successful lyj where ore in some quantity is not being mimed on a large scale. - In other words, 'to convince with money thatSead mining camps, as jthey view!; ltcan furnish ore - enough to make a smelter pay, is considerable Vof a job." "However, we have succeeded in doing so and . hence my remarks that we may be able to render service to any organisation contemplating the construction of a smelter in south era Oregon. Might Take Interest 'If there Is an organization In the making, perhaps some of our people might entertain becoming interested in It. It is not at all impossible that we might work out some plan to put the smelter deal over down your .way, and that way become the unified smel ter crowd of the state of Oregon. which would -add strength to the whole mining fraternity.?

In one of the, camps TMited by Mr. Gahlsdorf , the park , at tendants built fires ' in the big kitchen ranges early in the morn ing, and had the heavy iron tops heated sor that the camper could cook perfectly without setting a frying pan or kettle down next the fire to be smoked up. These he reported a tremendously success ful', and each, stove good for any where from a dosen to 6D famil ies during a long morning.

But witH all Salem on trial a about the least interested and most ox fensirely self-complacent city In the northwest in handling its auto camp. It looks as if the city money and the city authority ought to step In and remove some oi me causes for complaint." Director Albert says that about 50 new, ears a day at. 50 cents each, are now being registered, besides the Btaypyers at 25 cents a night. ; The receipts are ciose to 1 25 a day all through tn real tourist season. The' wood Is cost ing about $J a day; the water costs something; the director and his assistant have their modest salaries to be paid but after all that there ought to? be a large surplus that ought to be spent on making the park more comfort able and more of a business asset. Ground Bought at Bargain The city of Salem bought the present auto park grounds last spring at a very igreet bargain. Before that time the grounds liad been leased through the Chamber of "Commerce. The ownership actu ally nuts upon the city an aaaea moral obligation . to make It a MtorouchlT ? aood park as good . th cltv itself hopes to "be. A year ago last winter the flood down the Bellevue street branch of Mill creek damaged the park grounds seriously. The bridge on Winter J street partially col lapsed.

Mi Slang Pa current across the park grounds, where the 'place was sadly gullied It would haVe taken only a few days with the city teams, how ever, to level it all off. and it might be possible to clean out the channel so that there could be no recurrence of j the ' disaster. Just now. however.' fully one half of the best summer camping area of the park Is utterly unusable, because of the ditches, the gravel bars, the weeds.; and brambles. This Is the part that would make the campers ; shout Salem's praise all the way- from Mexico, to the Arctic 'circle..

No other camp does better.," Most of the camps' limit the camping allotments.; Salem does not. The camper is free to spread over a whole acre If he wants it. How ever, laid out in a regular -street form, with lanes for auto travel. and more hydrants to sprinkle them down every day might' help the general effect greatly, as well as doubling the present capacity. In 1922. the first year the city owned and operated the park, there were 2963 cars registered for pay,- some of them"' for Beve-J ral dayscJ The total revenues were $2275.50. from the first of May until the last of October. ""This year has shown a considerably heavier registration. From the middle of April until the middle of August, four months, the re ceipts were $2044.26. !"-. " Task Is Heavy One ; . Park Manager.

After the park had earned so much, money as to look almost like a municipal gold mine, the sum of $800 was transferred from its earned fund to investigate the firoposed -new city water system, t is the skinning of the park "of Just that $800 that would supply everything that .the traveling pub lic demands that has raised this h$wva)rBlohg the coast.

V The traveling ; 'public seems vio-Wyi "Salem hog" over this park ; matter, claiming that the I Salem camp ground - offers them less for their money than other parks on the coast. If the park patronage could be doubled, by spending a little money to level off the grounds and offer a few. more accommodations, the receipts would make the auto park a real national bank revenue producer, in cash . as well as In satisfaction and national adver tising.

A few weeks ago M. L. Morris of Lusk, fWyo.. brother of Dr. H. E. Morris of Salem, appeared be fore the r Salem JLions' club . and cautioned the city against charg ing for, camp privTleges. He said that the word was general through the east,' Colorado and beyond,- to "keep out of the Willamette val-ley.-for they'll stick you." The Denver,' Cheyenne and other fam ous camp grounds that attract hundreds of- thousands every : year. are absolutely free. W. TE.

But with the general criticism ' that Salem not only charges j for park service." but ! skins the service and uses the money for a municipal mint, they're giving Salem the raspberry to a very pamtul and distressingly expensive tune.

Jairl has changed ills mind, however, and a , petition asking his conditional pardon has been placed with the governor. It ,1s understood that no objection will be" , made by Mr. Myers, Charles K. Spauldlng, Judge Kelly or District Attorney John H. Car son. , Jairl fired at Myers with a revolver following an alterca tion but' the bullet went wild. Governor Will Do His Part on Gasoline.

He says "he has . girens thai matter .no consid eration so far,: but that' his secre tary, " Ward A. Irvine, has -taken the question up with .several east, era governors as to ifways and means. It the far inland states are able to get a reduction the governor said it" would seem that Oregon could do so with both rati and . water connection with South ern California. "I hope that tne fact that the wets showed strength in your state does not affect your belief that prohibition needs enforce-, ment. "It needs more than that In some unregrettable districts," re- nlied Senator Sorghum. "It needs reinforcement."
