COo GOOD
GOODS
Much Time and Money
have been wasted in a vain endeavor to convince people that there ia
real virtue in Imitations and Substitutes, not alone in the goods them
selves, but in the methods of selling. In the end the people find out
that it is only a "new slant" to the old game and that any variations
from the established principles of sound business dealing are sure
to result unsatisfactorily. Let your local dealer show you "the Nigger-in-the-wood-pile."
It's there.

(Continued from Page 2)
Three years later the name of the
mine was changed to the Virtue mine.
A man named Jackson was made su
perintendent of the mill. He put In
steam power and made it a 20-stamp
mill.
One of the things that did much
to put Sumpter on the map was the
erection of a five-stamp mill six miles
west of Sumpter in 1879. This mill
was put in by S. B.t J. L. and J. C.
Baisley. In 1884 James L. Baisley
located the Baisley-Elkhorn lode, on
Pine creek. During the next five
years more than $20,000 in gold was
ground out by the crude methods of
grinding the ore with an arastra.
In 1889 a mill was put up and within
a few years, more than a quarter of
a million dollars had been taken
from the lode.
In 1890 the Robbins-Elkhorn mine
was discovered and also the Bonanza
mine, the latter being opened up by
H. R. Shelton. Soon the Cable Cove
district began to show signs of rich
ness and then the permanent growth
of the town of Sumpter was assured.
The following year, in October
1891, the Sumpter Valley railroad
completed a narrow guage 'road up
the Powder river valley for 25 miles,
as far as McEwen, to bring out saw
logs to the mill of the Oregon Lum
ber company. The Sumpter Valley
road was built to McEwen at a cost
of $400,000, the money being raised
by Utah and Baker county interests.
The first directors ot the logging
road, which soon began handling
freight and passengers, were David
Eccles of Ogden; C. W. Nibley of
Logan, Vtah; John Stoddard, Wil
liam Eccles and F. M. Shurtliff, of
Baker county. They planned to ex
tend the road to Canyon City and the
John Day valley, and soon extended
the road to Sumpter.
The same timber, the same min
eral wealth , the same natural re
sources, are still back of Sumpter,
and the type of citizens of Sumpter is
such that the future of the town is
assured. It isn't being knocked
down that is a disgrace it is stay
ing down that shows you are a quit
ter and Sumpter is no quitter.
E. R. Huston, manager of the
Heppner Milling Company, Is moving
his family and household effects into
his new home which he recently pur
chased on Water street.
