POPULATION OF SUMPTER 4,500. '
IIIIS nuinhernf I III; AtlNhK d,es Its
lirst ve.it. Great cIi.'iiik Imve taken
place In this camp during that short time;
change for the tiettrr, III a in.ilcrl.il way; '
growth in population; inctrase in the I
miiiil'i-r of hiiildings ami volume of tr-iJe;'
an unprecedented amount of development '
work in the mines improvements in
every direction that communities strive!
for changes. In this evolution from a1
sleepy village to a live mining camp 'I 111:
MINKK claims to have played an import
ant part. When the lirst issue of this
paper appeared, men with a heavy growth
nl moss on their hacks stood around on
the stteetsand dismissed the rumhllngs of
the approaching husiness and industrial1
activity as if they were threatened with a '
plague; no Maker publication acknowl
edged the esistruc of such a camp, and ,
the old hack number paper issued here
tlitewcold water on every proposition I
tending to attract public attention to the J
district. It was this fait more than any,
thing else that decided progiessivecitlcns i
to olfer Inducements for I III: MlNhK'.S
establishment. Prom the start this paper
paid no attention to those whose policy
w.is retrogression; read the lint net tot
Kaker City, which forced recognition, '
and set a pace in giving publicity to our
resources that stuplhed the local sheet.
'I he desired effect was produced iutanta
neously. Till: MlNHK'.s work is not yet
done; it will continue on the same lines
which It has lollowed in the past.
Till1 I'otllaud papers have recently In
dulged in .1 good deal of nonsense about
that town having secured next year's
Hireling ol "The International League of
Press Clubs". All their self congtntula
toty talk is pure tot. I here is no Midi
body as " I he liiteruatiou.il League of
Press Clubs." I line Is a take outlit,
that style:; It-.cll " I he National League
ol "less Clubs." It is made up wholly
of cheap and raw .1111. items, and does not
include In Its mcmbriship or attendance
one teal newspaper man or woman ot any
wide leput.ttiuu. Its meeting rately bring
together more than lilty people, and lew
o them can get edltotial transportation
out ol their own counties, P.astern
papers never mention the fact that such
an outfit is In session, and its comings or
goings are uttetly without Interest to any
body except the tew school boys and
.school girls who read sappy little essays
to their tellow idiots on "how to run
newspapers, ' and other such stutf. Let
Portland build a big smelter, or some
thing ot that kind, and drop "The Inter
national League ot Pres Clubs" humbug.
Ir Ibcpille the lad with fool newspapers
to talk about towns that have been "over
boomed." Sumpter is occasionally men
tioned as one ot these. As a matter of
tact, the town has not been boomed half
enough. What little booming was done
here last winter attracted thousands of
people here who would otherwise never
have heard of the camp or of the eastern
Oregon gold fields, had not some new
people who know they are alive, come In
here and told others of the great oppor
tunities here for making money in mining.
AVtny of these newcomers brought money
here and invested It; others brought money
with them, couldn't invest It and went
away, carrying their money with them.
Por a while last winter there was an active
demand for desirably located property in
Sumpter. Those who owned it, in nine
cases out of ten, and refused to sell it at
reasonable figures, are the ones who are
now complaining about over booming.
Incidentally, they ate kicking themselves
because lliey didn't sell when they had
the chance. Had they done so, they
would have benefitted themselves and the
entile community, as well. Compare the
conditions here In town and throughout
the entire district, as they are today,
with what they were eighteen months
ago, and the vast benefits of the tame
little boom can be distinctly seen, Bring
on another boom and let it be a full grown,
robust one.
