Every business house in Sumpter, as well as half a hundred private res idences, were destroyed by the Ore that recently swept over the city. The property loss amountedto $200,000. Governor Withycombe has issued an appeal to the citizens of the Btate to aend financial belp, making the checks payable to the Citizens Nation al Bank of Baker. It is hoped by the Sumpter relief committee that the re sponse will be generous, for they es timate that unless at least $10,000 of relief funds are raised, there will be many in actual want before winter sets in. I , Sumpter is one of Oregon's most interesting cities and though it has been virtually wiped out by fire, the new Sumpter that will rise from the ashes of the city that was will be a better city than the one that has dis appeared. Pessimists there are that say this is the final chapter of Sump ter's history. They said the same thing when Heppner was overwhelm ed by a cloudburst and scores of Us citizens were drowned and its build ings demolished and washed away. As I walked about the streets ankle deep In mud and saw the wreckage removed and the bodies of Heppner's citizens recovered, I looked forward a few years to the day of a new Hepp ner. Today Heppnor is more substan tial than ever. Can Sumpter, like Heppner, come back? Did stricken Sau Francisco quit when she was overwhelmed by earthquake and fire? It is not buildings that make a city. It is the character of the people of the city that makes the city. It is the unconquerable and indomnitable will to rise superior to calamities and mis fortunes that make a city. A city whose citizens are not of this type does not deserve to live. The same sturdy and resolute men that helped to build Sumpter will help to rebuild the city. Sumpter came into being because of the mineral wealth of the district. The mineral wealth is still there. The ceaseless clanking of the two gold dredges that are working over the gravel beds of Powder riyer and recovering rich values are still to be heard. The old time hectic life of Sump ter has gone forever and it is just as well, for it was a passing phase of the old west and it will never re turn, for the mining camp that de pends on wild cat mines, saloons and the redlight district for its prosper ity deserves to be wiped off the map The old Sumpter, the Sumpter of Inflated values and plausible) pro moters unloading barrels of gold edged stock certificates on gullible tenderfeet in mines that never ex isted, was but a passing phase, just as the ficticious values of fruit lands was a passing phase of the orchard industry. Sumpter dates back to the days of the Civil War. When the firing on Fort Sumpter was fresh in the pub lic mind the mining camp of Sump ter was named. It was the discovery of quartz values, rather than the pla cer mines, that made Sumpter a city. At about the time that the first log cabin was built at Sumpter a miner named Ruckles, in Baker county, built a dam, put in a water wheel and built the Ruckles quartz mill near Baker City. This was in 1864 and the mill worked on the ore from the Rockafellow lode, six miles north east of Baker City. In 1868 Ruckles sold his mill and mine to J. W. Virtue, one of Baker county's early sheriff's. Associated with Mr. Virtue was A. H. Brown. SOUTHEAST CORNER MAIN & MAY STREETS Complete Line of Candies and Cigars and all the Leading Soft Drinks.

RASMUS, Mgr. t Sales Room in Yeager Blbff., Main St. PREMIER WOMAN BRONCHO BUSTER VISITS HEPPNER Bertha Blancett, premier woman broncho buster of the world, paid Heppner a visit last week. Mrs. Blancett was returning to Pendleton after making a trip to Hood River to extend to Rev. Billy Sunday an Invi tation to attend the 1917 Round-Up at Pendleton. Mrs. Blancett was to get a horse at Hood River and ride out to the Sunday farm in her riding habit, consisting of a pair of heavy boots, a corduroy skirt, silk waist and heavy cowboy hat. But bronchos are not as plentiful In Hood River as they are on the Eastern Oregon ranges and after searching the town she finally secured a saddle horse at one of the garages. She says Mr. and Mrs. Sun day extended her a warm welcome and declined her invitation only be cause a previous engagement conflict ed with the date. While in Heppner Mrs. Blancett distributed a large amount of adver tising matter. Before leaving for Pendleton she assured ub that the coming show wohld be the biggest in the history of Round-Ups and also an nounced that she would be a strong contender in all events for womeni this year.
