It will he a case of the survival of the littcst; j all three can't .survive and prosper. AM. soldiers are indignant over the J treatment accorded the brave Uoer general , by the commander ol the English army, ', In humiliating him upon (lie occasslou of his recent unconditional surrender. With jooo troops he had held out ten days , against Ine English army of 50,000. i Till: (iranlte (Jem, S. I'. Sliutt on the bridge, made its appearance last week. It Is lull ol (iranlte advertising and boom ( reading matter. Air. Shut! is a past I master in the ait ol giving the grand jolly In bis pations and patting his town on the back, and the first issue of the(iem dld'ut oveilook a hit ol this kind. I.A IRANI) papers "are not doing a tiling" to C. V. Nlbley, on account of that luteivlfw published in Cortland last week, In which he said that the road from llllgard to (iranlte the pride of l.a Wand's business heart will not be built. I hey are filing columns ol editorials at the loquacious railroad man, demonstrat ing that he was both talking thtough his hat and giving an Intentional false tip. AMONG a dozen or more letters received this week regarding that iJonan article, on the Sumpter district, Is one from a lady in .Milwaukee, who says: "I have just lead In the Chicago Inter-Ocean an Inter view with a man named I'. Don in about your town, and I am anxious to get some information pertaining to Sumpter, so please semi me your paper," etc. Mv dear .Madam, II you read the article re feiied to, you alieady have a vast amount ol Information about this town and dls diet. So much Inhumation 011 the subject hi whlvh you ate Inteiested lias never belote been crowded into the same space; tlioi so euteitalningly and forcibly pre sented. "Cl.AHK.ot Montana, Is hi some danger ol (ejection finm the senate on one score .only; he has set a p.ue In the pike paid lor votes of membeis of a legislature en tliely too swill for the average senator to follow. Vet member;, of other legislatures are liable to point to the Clark pike as a piecedeut, and turn up their noses at a few hundred dollars or a paltry olhce. Hence some scuatois may want to be able in the lutuie to point to the Clark case as an awful example of paying fancy prices tu legislators tor votes." Is It a lar fetched conclusion that the above paragraph in the Cortland Telegram Is an intimation to Oregon legislators that Harvey Scott proposes to pay the smallest possible price for the coveted senatorial toga, from this state. IN llll: Idaho Statesman of Sunday morning Is published a letter from Wash ing, D. C, written by Fred K. Reed, a man well known throughout the North west as a close, accurrate observer of passing events, and therefore a successful operators He says: "I hear much talk of the Cacilk North west, and there is a much better feeling toward western securities and Investments in general. There Is plenty of money here for any legitimate enterprise. Cape Nome has the floor in the mining field and many companies are being organized here to operate there. Sumpter, Ore., seems to be In favor, and the eyes of eastern mining investors are turned that way. 'I he general Impression is that Sumpter will make as good a camp as Cripple Creek, which is today producing two mil lions of dollars monthly." ONI: over enthusiastic citien of Sumpter, writing to a friend at his home hi California, declares that about 8000 people are expected to arrive here next month. He has doubtless put the es timate too high, but it now seems to be certain that thousands of people will ar riveduring the coming few mouths. A day or two since llll: MINER received from a clipping bureau a bunch of a score of newspaper articles, written by recent ar rivals, h'.-re either direct to their home pa pers or to friends, who had the letters pub lished. In every instance the picture drawn of present conditions and future prospects of the town and district were of as rosate a hue as the most hardened boomer could wish to see. And these ar ticles were published In papers from Maine to California. 'I hey will have a bene ficial effect, too, on this entire section of country; for the statement of men to their friends c.irrv more weight than does the prepaied advertising matter of an interested syndicate, however accurrate and truthful this Information may be.
