It's a Iomk .shot proposition that thev get a choice col lection ol "gold bricks." DOWN at Vale, the county seat, the lirst issue of the Malheur County Her ald was published September n, by V. Plughoff. It is both all home print and all right. NliWSPAPhH people ill the Grand Monde valley are luxuriatiiiK in (rult, contributed by charitable neighboring tanners, and the local columns are crowd ed with sugarv words of thank. Illl Maker City Democrat editorially announces in mixed metaphor the arrival here of the "boomers." Strange to say, however, though true it Is, the boom ar rived sixty or nlnetv davs ahead ot the alleged boomers. I III HI. is a prospect near Sumpter, now beltiK developed, that the owners thereof h.ive had the reckless hardihood to christ en, "I he MUk Cat." This seems to be perilously suggestive of that dang erous feline, the wild cat. OVI:K at Mountain Home, Hubert No ble sold his wool dip this year for Jiw 000 iasli, the weight of the wool being v 1,000,000 pounds; whUh statement would lead one to judge that it assays about as rich as ( ioliouda lock. I conditions under which they are worked. I Mr. Wooley will carry the matter Into the district court. A KKCENT Issue of the Oregoulau published a picture of . R. Mellls, of Maker City, one of Oregon's commission ers to the Paris exposition. A better selection for the position could not have , been made and Baker County will come pretty near being represented as long as lie is looking after Its Interests. IN THK Eastern Oregonlan of recent dale Is published some remarks by Presi dent C. W. Nlbley, of the Sumpter Val ley road, which makes pleasant reading for the people of this town. He says Sumpter is the best town in eastern Ore gon right now, is going to be better, and lie is thinking seriouslv of coming here to live. HliPORT comes from Portland that the Kngllsh Development company, of. Lon don, has secured control of the smelter there, which was built ten or a doen years ago and only run for a short time. It is said to be the intention of the new company to modernle and enlarge the plant and begin operations at an early day. The management expect to draw largely on Idaho and Eastern Oregon for ores and will soon put buvers in this ter ritorv. Illl: statistics regarding the receipt of mining machinery in Sumpter during the past three months, which were published in I HI: MlNI-R last week, tell the story ot the great mining development In this district, that can be neither credited to the boomers nor charged to "mere news paper talk." Now here in the Weil Is the mining industry so profitably active as it is in the Sumpter district at this time. , Were the mines and prospects here lo-1 cnled In Colorado, there would beanother i wild Cripple Creek stampede; were thev Sumpter Lumber Co. Is fully equipped to supply the largest CASH boom that can be inaugurated. All we ask is the money and we will Carry Everything In the Building Line... That this wide world can furnish. We have facilities for getting material to enclose the whole town under one roof four stories high should it be required. j. SUMPTER, OREGON.
