The retiring president will in future
give his exclusive attention to the livery
department.
The company has voluntarily advanced
the wages of all drivers lifteen per cent,
which In said to be the beginning of an
increase In the salary of all employes in
every department, demonstrating not onlv
the good will of a "soulless corporation"
towards lt men, but also the prosperous
condition of the company under the man
agement ot its otticlalsjand in this last
must always be included JamesNcvlands,
the secretary, who looks after the finan
cial end of the business.
Of course, this Indicates further the
present great activity of the eastern Ore
gon gold tields. The Sumpter Transpor
tation company now has contracts for
hauling a million pounds of machinery.
Latt Run of the Hors Cannery.
The Linton horse cannerv, which wis
supposed to be closed tor good, is to start
up again for a brief season for the dispo
sition of 1000 lultusctyuse ponies. Sam
uel Kinsman, the sole owner of the estab
lishment, now states that it will be strictly
an accommodation run, as he has no in
tention of fiuther engaging in the horse
canning business. The industry here
never has been a success, by reason of
the fact that it was difficult to find a mar
ket in Europe for the output. It is Mr.
Kinsman's intention to convert the horse
cannery into a trait cannery. The plant
is admirably situated for the fruit-canning
industry, possessing the advantages of
both rail and water transportation facil
ities. Times-Mount ilneer.
O. R. & N.'i Great Advertising Plant.
In line with its policy for settling the
Northwest, the Oregon Railway & Navi
gation Co. will spend more money the
coming year for advertising than has been
expended during any previous year.
Under the careful management of General
Passenger Agent Hurljurt, the road's ad
vertising department has materially as
sisted In developing the Northwest. The
road does not depend upon circular adver
tising to attract settlers and investors. It
has a more practical method. It deals di
rectly with the intending settler and in
duces him to visit the proposed place of
settlement, in order that he may see for
himself and not take the word of anyone
j regarding the advantages of the country.
In tutherance of Its scheme the road's In
dustrial department assists the settler In
becoming prosperous In order that he may
hive the more trade to give the railroid.
, The advertising department of the road is
run as a business proposition to develop
I the resources of the country tributary to
j Its system, which, of course, Increases the
earnings of the raiload. Telegram.
, NEXT MINING CONGRESS.
win cc iicia 111 ewic in juiy"rrcprarun
. Now Being Made
John M. Haines, secretary for Idaho of
the International Mining Congress, Mates
tli.it now the election Is over the arrange
ments for the meeting of that body in this
city next July will begin in good earnest.
From letters received from the general sec
retary it is shown that there will be an
enormous attendince and that already the
mining men of many surrounding states
have begun their preparations, such as se
curing extensive mineral exhibits, mem
bers, etc.
The last meeting at Milwaukee was a
good deal of a lizzie, due largely In the
fact that there is no mining in that section
outside of iron and a little coal, but the
meeting next year will be of entirely a
different nature, as Rolse Is essentially in
a mining country, with some of the great
est dividend-payers of the United States
close at hand, and with not a foot of trib
utary ground unmineralieJ. l-'or these
reasons the outside mining men will do
their utmost to make a good display of
ores as well as Insure a large attendance.
The rivalry In this matttr will be condu
cive of great results, as the mining men of
I this state will put forth every effort to
make a better display of the ores of the
J state than were ever before put on exlil
I billon. The mining men of tills city are
I willing to push the matter as far as may
be, and w ill do so, and in this the expec
tation is that the business men will take a
strong hand.
It has been suggested, and well thought
of, that In this regards the commercial
bodies of the different towns and cities of
the state come together In a general state
organization, and that then they, as a
distinct body, but representing the best
business element of the state, petition the
legislature for an appropriation sufficient
' to cover the different districts and show
the world what we have In minerals.
This scheme Is looked upon with especial
I favor. At any rate, the campaign for the
1 congress will begin without further delay
and be vigorously pushed. Boise States
