POPULATION OF SUMPTER 4,500. Till: political rot Hint stale papers are now publishing is wearisome to the soul of the e.xJiauge editor, ami surely dues not deceive the ordinary reader. I'KhSS dispatches state that James It. Keen, a Wall street plunger, has bet f7,;oo against 10,000 that Hryan ulll de feat McKiulcy in the presidential election. I his information Is considered of sufficient importance to put on the wires, because Jim Keen made the wager. IT IS announced that the represent.'!' lives of Haltimore, Philadelphia and New York papers who are touring the west in a palatial private car, built for their es pecial use, will stop over at Maker City, j When the Chamber of Commerce com mitteemen of that town interviews the business man of the party, they will fall over In a dead hint. The figure then named will, indeed, be a shock. ' OTIINS of Sumpter resent the base, baseless slander on their home town,orig- J inatlug with the Mine Mountain American , and culminating In the Maker City Re publican in these foul, false werds: "Will 1 the voters of Maker county put their foot ' 011 the mean, contemptible, petty larceny thieves who have attempted to do such. dirty work In Sumpler? Those men were bred In a brothel, brought up in a dead fall, and graduated at a penitentiary." SDMI- papers seem to think that their sole mission is to lie about the rival town and abuse the opposition political party. Meiaice Till. MlNkK'S Conception of its work is diametrically opposite to tills, theory; because it is eiideavoiiug to assist i in the development of eastern Oregon and the Sumpter district in particular, the services of its management are sought by , other localities. I hat is how it happens that another MlNkK has been established , over at Piaiile City, and why it Is very probable that other newspapers will be started in otliei i.imps, to pursue the polKv mapped out and adhered to bv llll SUMI'll U MINI R. lhisisnoguiedbv business nien.is being asgieat an linptove meiit In the newspaper held, over the hereabouts piev ailing tool method, as the ' dredger is ovei the incher In placer min ing, and llll.

The complaint ot the Chinese stated that bv the enlordng ol the terms adopted bv the bo.ud ol health, declailng that plague existed in that city, they wete restiamed ol their liberties granted them under the constitution ol the United States and the e.Nlstlng treaties between the government of the United States and the- Chinese gov ernment; that tlieauthoritlesdisctiinluated against the .Mongolian race in singling out tile Chinese and Japanese tor theenlorxe- . ment of (lie terms of the resolution; that ithe Haffkhit prophylatic was not the ' propel treatment for persons already ex posed to the plague and that neither the : board of health nor federal authorities had 1 proven that a single case of plague existed in tile city or state. The court sustained every contention in the complaint and granted the injunction. IN THi; humble opinion of Till: MINI-H, the republican campaign managers are making a mistake hi appealing for votes for J. T. English, the party's candidate for the legislature, on the purely partisan ground that there is a United States sen ator to be chosen. Mr. English Is going to get the republican vote, anyway; what he needs are democratic votes, and this partisan appeal is apt to drive some away from him, which he otherwise would re ceive. He Is peculiarly well fitted for the po sition, and should command support 011 this ground. Many good citizens would vote for him for this reason who would refuse to do so when it Is rubbed in on them that the principal purpose of his election is to vote for some candidate for the United States senate. So far as Tllli MINI-K is concerned, it believes that Mr. English, if elected, will serve this county more Intelligently and faithfully than merely entering some senatorial combine and playing the part of a stupid figure head. He is a man of liberal education, of extended business experience, is pos sessed of ample fortune, Is not avaricious; and therefore is not open to the corrupting influences which are usually employed to handle members of that body. He is ca pable of going down to Salem and becom ing a leader; of accomplishing much good for the state at large and this section of eastern Oregon, in particular. From peo ple who know him, for these reasons he will receive a large vote; not for partisan considerations. pENNER & WORTHINGTON I Civil and Mining Engineers. I'. S.
