II. N. Williams of Lostlne was In

some very high grade copper ore
as samples of the product of the
mines of the Wallowa County Min
ing and Development company's
property, better knqwn as the
Williams mine, on Lick creek, about
25 miles southeast of thl city. The
boys who have been worklngthere
this winter have come out with
glowing reports. -i
They are working in a very rich
velt, that is 18 inches thick and a
tunnel 140 feet long is still In rich
ore. A cross cut of 40 feet does
not reach the wall. Over 150 tons
o. this ore have been got out since
February. -
The Williams mine is only 10
miles northwest of the big smelter
at Homestead. - The ledge lies
straight toward the ledges of the
Iron Dyke mines, so the stockhold
ers of this company are feeling
not only hopeful but jubilant.

This disposes of the high-handed
attempt of the Union and Baker
people to take range, fromi Wallowa
county stockmen, and as the rul
ing Is iron-clad It closes the matter
as far as th District Forester Is
concerned. . '
The brothers to the south are
greatly peeved'. The Baker Citj!
Democrat says the : "Baker wool?
growers are sore ' at the District
Forester,", and may appeal to the

COPYRIGHT, 151. BY AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
Springtime t Springtime is
lovetimel And the breath of
spring and the spirit of love
were never more beautifully
translated into words than in
this idyllic story, the combined
work of three Men of literary
genius, Booth Tarkington, Harry
Leon Wilson and Porter Emer
son Browne. The play, by the
first two named authors, capti
vated hundreds of audiences.
The story, by Mr. Browne, can
not fail to captivate an entire
nation. Madeleine de Valette
a heroine more beautiful, more
innocent, more divinely inspired
with the innate purity of a young
girl's love, has never been por
trayed in fiction. And in Gil
bert Steele, the stalwart young
American soldier in Andrew
Jackson's army, is found a hero
who lives up to the traditions
upon which this patriotic nation
was founded. Read of M. de
Valette, the stern French aristo
crat; of his dissolute cousin,
to whom he would wed Made
leine; of Father O'Mara; of
L'Acadienne, the wandering
dancer, : who had a heart; of
Wolfs sturdy American sharp
shooters; of old time French
customs in Louisiana, where the
Code Napoleon yet prevails to
administer Justice on American
soil; of war and peace, of brav
ery jjnd cowardice, of love and
hate, of life and death, and you
will read a romance that creates
a nonf standard in contempora
neous American fiction.
