IN EASTERN OREGON.
The Land of Gold and Fair Ladies',

About sixty members of the Ore
gon State Press Association, and
probably thirty guests, left the
Union depot at Portland, at $3.50 p.
M, of october ID, bound for Baker
City and the annual meeting of the
association. A %jollier crowd prob
ably never boarded a train out of
Portland. After renewing old &C
quaintances and forming many new
ones, the writer at midnight sought
his bed, an upper tier on the tour
ist, a half interest of which had
been assigned to another party.
But owing to the fact that at nearly
everv station other members of the
association cane aboard and were
not satisfied until Albert Tozier,
the popular secretary of the associa-
ton had awakened all on board.
1t was very little sleep that anyone
secured on that train. However
through the ability of Ira Campbell,
Chas. Nickel, Albert Tozier, J. S.
D~ellinger, and a couple who occu-
pied an upper berth, the crowd was
nicely entertained.
The train halted for breakfast at
the summit of the Blue mountains
at the charming Hotel Meacham,
where under the motherly a r of
Grandma Munra, manager of one
of the daintiest and most unique
railroad eating houses in the world,
we were served with one of the
best breakfasts that it was ever our
lot to eat; and many a poor, hun
cry editor editor made the feast of
his life. AS we had not visited
Meachem for over twenty years,
not since the Iron horse had united
the Inland Empire with Western
Oregon, and we noted many
changes at this place, and all along
from Portland to Baker City, es-
pecially at Pendleton and La
Grande. The we'll kept farms of
Grand Ronde valley gave evidence
of the solid improvements made in
this fertile valley:
One thing we noticed in contrast
to IL Willamette valley farmers,
was that in Eastern Oregon the
farmers stack their straw in long,
neat ricks, whereas most of the
straw in the Willamette valley is
burned.
From the summit above La
Grande we feasted our eyes upon a
glorious panorama. To the west
in the Cascades. were the everlast-
ing snow capped moun aims, in all
their grandeur, silent pyramids OF
Gods handwriting, while far in tie
distance the pine-clad hills OF the
Blue mountain range were i'll evil
dence. AT our feet, dressed in her
Autumn garb, nestled the valley,
with the villages of La Grande and
Union far i'll the distance, and the
dark, cprling smoke from many a
farm house marked the drift of the
Autumn clouds.
At one o'clock p. m, we arrived
at the Queen City of the West, the
coming Denver, soon to be the
mining center of the northwest.
Here those who chose we're provid-
ed with conveyances 10 the hotels.
We were glad TO stretch our limbs
after IS hours on the train and
~availed ourselse s Of the opportunity
TO walk, and in company with Elk
Johns, cheerfully wendell our way
to the hotel; but on Our way up we
stopped to admire Baker City's
splendid public school building,
which is a credit to any city in
Oregon. We were informed that
within its brick walls were goo
children, which speaks well for the
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1897-10-28

&AhA HANNAiSht
music, fair ladies and a smooth
floor made it possible for all to en-
JOY themselves until a late hour.
The rising sun had scarcely
chased the crimson colors from the
eastern horizon on Saturday morn
ing when all hands were off for
Sumpter, thirty miles away over a
smooth narrow guage track from
Baker City. Here all enjoyed a
free dinner given by the Bpsiness
Mems association ofSumpter. This
booming town is but little more
than a year old, but gives evidence
of great prosperity and indicates
that there are good, rustling bust
ness men at the helm. AL, lines
of business are we'll represented, in
Guiding a lively, we'll edited news
paper, the Sumpter News. If
Willamette valley editor could have
the amount of advertising in a
weekly sheet that this paper has,
and at the prices it receives, he
who'd feet like his efforts had been
appreciated.
AT one o'clock, all having been
provided with seats in some kind
of a conveyance. we were driven TO
the group OF mines known as the
E. and E., Columbian, and the
North Pole. Here we were kindly
shown through the mines and The
quartz mills. To many this was
their first visit to an active gold
producing mine. These three mines
are being worked to their full ca
pacity day and night. They are
situated in the mountains ten miles
from Sumpter and about one mile
apsrt. Two miles beyond this gropp
of mines is located the famous b.
nanza mine, but we did not have
time to visit this mine and return
to Baker City the same day.
Returning to Baker City, at 8
O'Clock a business meeting of the
Association was had and officers
for the ensuing year were elected
as follows: Geo. B. Small, Baker
City, president; Albert Tozier.
Portland. secretary; Chas. Nickel,
Jacksonville, treasurer. Whereup-
on all adjourned to the hotel where
the good citizens OF Baker had pre-
pared a banquet, at which plates
for $50 were laid. Amid speeches
and songs the evening Don passed
away; and We will say that Baker
did herself proud. 1t was a spread
tqat a city Of much larger preten-
sions might well have been proud
|, of.
At 8 o'clock a.. M, while the
church bells were ringing out their
sweet tones, about twenty-five We

Flagstaff mine at ten O'Clock all en-
joyed a hearty breakfast that had
been prepared by the managers of
this splendid property, after which
many availed themselves of an OPP
portunity to go down into the mine,
many going down to the 100 feet
level. The ore car in which the
party was safely conveyed into the

SHAKE DICE FOR A BIBLE.
Queer Custom for Children IN an AM
cient English Church.

Perhaps the only church in the world
where it is permissible to shake dice
is located at St Ives, England. Not
only is the rattle of the cubes heard
there every year, but it is girls and
boys who do the shaking. The GUS
tom is a survival Of old times. More
than $50 years ago a bequest of $50
invested in lands, was made by
queer old docter, Robert Wild. This
money was to be used to pay the ex-
penses of distributing annually six
Bibles among twelve children. 1t was
stipulated that six boys and six girls
should shake dice for the Bibles dur
ing the services every Whitsun Tues
day morning. When the first game
was played in 1888. the bones were
shaken on the altar. This was kept
up until half century later, when
the rector of that day rebelled. and
ever since the dice have rolled out on
table placed in the middle isle.
The way the game is run is like this:
Three boys compete against the other
three. The church wardens keep the
counts and each competitor is allow
ed three throws. Then a chance is
given the girls. The six highest out
of the twelve get the Bibles. In the
evening the successful ones attend
the services and are no doubt warned
against the evils of gambling. The
unsuccessful six keep on trying year
after year. OF course, in the ordinary
run of the bones, some of the children
might get married before they get the
Bible, but somehow no one has been
known to wait longer than five years
before luck turns
