GREAT OPPORTUNITY OFFERED
"MINER" READERS.
ON another pane of Till: MlNI-R today
Is printed an advertisement offering S15,
000 In c.-ibh prices to those who can jjticss
closest to the election returns from Iowa,
Massachusetts and Ohio, The plan Is
Klven clearly and In detail. This Is a
bona fide proposition. The association
offering the prizes is vouched for by the
haul In Detroit where the 515,000 is now
on deposit. Till; MINIIN has made ar
rangements whereby Its readers can par
ticipate In the awards. Here Is a chance'
for some one to win a large "piece" of
easy money.
"A SUAMTliK paper makes the braen
statement in a long harangue relative to
the increased prosperity Inltlils country,
that 'there has never been a boom In this
camp.' Would to God the assertion were
true, but the tacts are this country is but,
just recovering from a most Idiotic boom
that was launched by liars similar to the
Sumpter newspaper man."
So says the l.nwton Standard. The
reference is not to this paper and some
mnytliiiiktli.it Tilt: MlNI-R has no li
cense to get Into the game, no cards hav
ing been dealt to It; but It chooses to take
n whack at this peculiarly and character
istically OregoneMiue sentiment, and that
alone constitutes Its right so to do. Till:
MlNIIK has so frequently combated the
idea cNpnssed by the Standard, that a
"boom" is a curse to any country, that
some of its readers may consider the sub
ject a trl tic threadbare, but the writer be
lieves this to be the paramount Issue of
the hour In this region and will continue
to promulgate the doctrine that n boom Is
what this country needs more than any
thing else on earth. No paper has yet re
plied to any remarks Till: MlNI-K has
made on the subject and It hopes that the
Standard will give some reason for Its
"would to God" proposition, being curi
ous to learn on what ground this idea of
a boom being dreaded as a pestilence Is
based, and believing that it is nothing
more than the (useless opinion of men
with whom "conservatism" Is a fetish
and who don't know the difference be
tween the Idea conveyed by that word
and the secondary meaning of "dry-rot."
It Is true that for two or three mouths
winter before last Sumpter had a boom, a
kindergarten, juvenile, amateur, abortive
boom that accomplished more good for the
gold fields of eastern Oregon than any
thing that ever luppened since the state
was settled by the Whites. It was the
cause of more money being Invested in
our mines during the past year and .1
half than during the preceding decade;
It Increased the Intrinsic value of Sumpter
property four of five folds and the popu
lation In proportion; It did more to attract
the attention of the world to our mines
than did the efforts of the worshippers of
conservatism during the twenty previous
years, and every Individual mixed up Ir
that short-lived boom was benefitted
thereby. Its good effects are still appar
ent, Increasing with time, and Its evil In
fluences have escaped entirely the close,
assiduous observation of the writer. Will
the Standard please point It accusing fin
ger at these alleged boom-blighted consequences?
THE MINER daily offers sacrifices to the
Fates that control the mysterious move
ments of booms, burns Incense on their
altars and petitions that a fully developed,
adult one be hurriedly dispatched in this
direction, one that will send prices of real
estate to the blue sky line limit and cause
eastern capitalists to fall over each other
and themselves In their wild scramble to
buy our mines and prospects being fully
resigned to the Inevitable results of that
law of great Nature, the "survival of the
fittest."
