THE SUMPTER MINER. ? Wednesday, October 4, 1899. SUMPTER LUMBER CO. A. W. Ellis Stlls His Interest to George Stoddard. A. W. Ellis, who has had an interest In the Sumpter Lumber company, disposed of It Monday to George Stoddard, thus Riving the entire business to Stoddard Brothers, who now have virtually com plete control of all the mills in this valley. They have ordered full apparatus for new dry kilns, using the hot air blast pro cess for drying lumber, so that they can supply the trade more fully than ever with lumber and material for building purposes. The mill here employs forty men, the force having been recently Increased to that number, owing to the heavy local de mand. Notwithstanding the large capa city of tills firm's mills, it Is necessary to ship in here from the Bridal Veil mills large quantities of high grade lumber. The company has added to Its stocks a full line of paints, oils, glass and build ing paper. CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. Resolution of Thanks for Fred Woorley and Alexander Steadman, Soldiers.

The following resolution was adepted: "WHEREAS; Fred Woorleyand Alex ander Steadman, when the president of tiie United States called for volunteers to go into the far distant Philippine Islands and fight for their country's right, up hold their country's honor and make more glorious yet their country's flag, so nobly responded to their country's call, and WHEREAS; They unflinchingly walked In the paths of danger to unfurl Old Glory's folds more gloriously to the world, and by their brave and intrepid ac tion on the field of battle won the admira tion of the world, and particularly those who knew them best, therefore be it RESOLVED; By the mayor and common council of the town of Sumpter in regular session assembled this 30th day of Sep tember, A. D., 1899, that the home com ing of these two loyal volunteers be marked by festive occasion, and that we do on Wednesday, the 4th day of Oct ober, 1809, at Ellis opera house, In the town of Sumpter, give In their honor a grand ball, and there extend to them a hearty welcome as a token of the esteem which the people of this community have for them. W. H. GLEASON, I Mayor. ' A. W. ELLIS, william stinson, ; John Austin, W. W. LOONEY, AL HILLIER, J JOHN T. PARKINSON, ! Councilmen. Opportunity Neglected by Portland. A few hundred dollars, with some know ledge of the business and good judgment would have been sufficient any time this half-century past, and are yet, to enable a man to make himself independent in a comparatively short time In our Oregon mineral mount-tins. And for men with greater capital the field has been and Is still more Inviting. Gradually this fact Is becoming appreciated in other cities on the Sound, In Spokane, Salt Lake, Denver, St. Louis and cities farther east, and in Europe; and capitalists are begin ning to take hold of some of the eastern Oregon mines. The field Is large; op portunities are numerous; gradually pur chasing and developing capital will flow In, and if Portland residents do not take advantage of these opportunities as indi vidual investors, Portland as a city must reap more or less benefit from this in creasing investment and development whether much or little depends largely upon whether we make this city Import ant and necessary to that great, rich re gion.
