their announcement in another col

years but has been living near Weiser
the past year and a half. Mr. Thomp
son has bought a forty acre tract
above Weiser and has got a good
proposition. All of Mr. Thompson's
j family are enjoying good health.

I spent Monday at Hardman where he
1 delivered a Labor Day address before
j the school of that place. School open
I ed there on that day with a fairly
I good attendance and the work for the
! year promises well under the guid
j ance of Principal Pehr. A Labor
' Day address at the opening of the
school is a rather novel thing in this
section, but an eminently proper pro
ceeding, and the exercises at Hard
man on Monday were greatly enjoyed
by all.

By Fred Lockley in Oregon Journal.
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.

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.
