Mining and Consulting Engineer "I: loi 118. have requested THE MINER to assist in promoting their commendable plan to give .1 l-ntirtli of July celebration here, on a grand scale. 'I he Idea is to arrange for such attractions as will not only draw crowds from all the surrounding camps, but from every town in eastern Oregon, southeastern Washington and western Idaho. There is no doubt but that satis factory arrangements can be made with the O. R. fV N. and connecting roads for rates that will be sufficient inducement to attract many visitors. It is also thought to be possible to make some sort of a deal with the Sumpter Valley road that will keep Its fare below a prohibitive rate. There is no question but what hundreds I of people within a radius of 200 miles would gladly avail themselves of an op portunity to visit this wonderful camp, of which so much has been said and written of late, if the expense or such a trip could ! telephone Alain u be kept within reasonable bounds. Then, if a really meritorious program shall be ar ranged, with features different from the usual chestnuts; there is no question but what the event would be a great sticces. The enterprising business men of Sumpter are therefor? requested to take early action in the matter. It Is Important that no - time be lost; that no other town may get I AITHUR PHII.HRICK the start. j 1 1..1V11 ana LI K. WHEELER. Office: Room 4. First Bank of Sumpter. Notary Public.

He does probably know, however, that he is not on the bridge, where he belongs. Till: MINER will soon have a corres pondent visit every camp in the Sumpter Mining distrkt, giving an accurate, inter esting story of the work already done and now In progress. ROAD Improvement ought to be In-' jected, some way, into local politics. It is of far mure importance to IhlsdMrlU than imperialism, expansion, Puerto Rlcan tarllf, trusts, or even who gets the salarieJ ' jobs. THAT was a clear case ol poptillstlc nerve, horn of provincial Ignorance, dis played by the people's party convention in Portland last week; demanding that the national democratic convention nomi nate a populist for ice-presldentlal candidate. AND now the small, smooth bore, des picable scrubs who write hereabouts for newspapeis are shooting their harmless paper wads at the man whom they think is' downed, financially. Six weeks ago they were licking his boots, servilely fawning around him, in the hope of re ceiving some of the crumbs that fell from j his generous board. I YESTERDAY Senator Hoar delivered his long expected speech hi opposition to the administration's Philippine policy. Regarding the constitutionality of that policy, he said: " I hold that this acquisi tion of territory holding and governing can be only a means for a constitutional end. And I maintain that you can no more hold and govern territory than you Mining Engineer. V. S. Deputy Mineral Surveor lor Oregon nnd Idaho. Csamlnalinns and reports on mining proper ties.
