A Brilliant Reception.

FROM sHVilTHa9 paiiy'
A brilliant and highly successful
reception was given last night by
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Wagner at
their handsome residence OH south
Hall street in honor of Miss X.
Casternick of Portland, Ore.
The evening opened with a duet
on the piano by Miss Ailene Green
and Miss Irene Struthers, followed
by a piano solo, performed by Miss
Leila 5heaffer. The selections in
both cases were accorded enthusi-
astic applause.
Dancing was then INDUCED in TO
the excellent music of Professors
Stack and Agnew of Pendleton. A
novel and pleasing feature of the
evening was May-pole dance, the
participants holding brilliant-hued
pendent streamers which the con-
volutions Of the dance wound
around the May-pole in various and
pretty patterns. The colors, were
patriotic, red, white and blue.
BY unanimous request cake
walk was then performed, Miss
Casternick and Mr.. Mcdonald
easily bearing the palm as the star
performers. A dainty repast was
served shortly after midnight, and
a l;tt1a later the puests took their
leave of the host and hostess.
Among the ladies present may be
mentioned Misses Casternick, Irene
Struthers, Leila Sheaffer, Ailene
Green, Valentine Bundren, Leslie
Shannon, Steininger; Mesdames
Wagner, Jacks and Ailshie. The
gentlemen participating included
Messrs. Heppner, Jacks, Ailshie,
Winters, Mcdonald, Bartlett and
Prof. Granville.

BOSTON BANKERS OPINION.
Across the Continent Stretches the Fame
Of Central Idaho.

Full details have been given in
previous issues Of the DAILY Press
Of the Boston syndicate formed for
the purpose Of handling and devel-
oping Buffalo Hump properties.
The members of this syndicate in
clude some of the most noted names
in business and financial circles in
the state Of Massachusetts.
1t is an extraordinary thing that
the quartz lode discoveries in the
Buffalo Hump mining dis trict in
Idaho county, Idaho, although
made late last fall, and which are
as yet undeveloped and mere pros
pect shafts and cross-cuts, have at
tracted the attention and interest
of mining men and capitalists all
over the world. Col. w. S. Bracket,
now in Grangeville, has just re-
ceived letter from his cousin,
Captain John w. Weeks, Of Bos-
ton, Mass, of the firm of Horn
blower & Weeks, in that city, in
which the Captain speaks Of
number of prominent capitalists of
Boston who are also already in
terested in Buffalo Hump proper
ties, and others, near it. Captain
Weeks in his letter says:
81 am convinced this region
Idaho county, Idaho), is the COM
ing mining section Of this country"
Captain Weeks is q man of the
highest standing in Boston, and is
well known not only as banker
there, and heavily interested in
mining syndicates in Colorado,
Utah and Montana, but also be-
cause he was the commander Of the
Massachusetts, naval reserve in the
late war with Spain. 41 r.

Development OF the Country

A letter from ii. S. Arbogast,
who is employed on Buffers Bros.
Red River dredge, says:

will put her in the water by May

there are 80 of them in the chain

There will be about Jog 900 pc unds
of machinery on the scow when
done and ready for work.

From Saturdays Daily.

from saturday paiis.
Information was filed this morn
ing with the district court in the
action of the State VS.. FoglesOng,
wherein the defendant is charged
with practicing medicine without q
license or diploma.
The action has been pending
since the last term of the district
court. the defendant being bound
over to appear before this term.
An interesting feature in connec-
ton with this case is that new
medical law goes into effect to-
morrow. Now Foglesong is
charged under the old law and it
remains to be seen whether the
complaint can stick in the face of
the new law. Should fresh or
amended complaint, however, be
filed in the action, the defendant
would scarcely be the gamer, the
provisions of the new law being
far more stringent than those Of
the old. State Attorney Scales for
prosecution, Fogg Il Nugent for
defendant.

The time has long since passed
when the average investor buys Il
lO-foot prospect hole ut a go d
round price and then takes til
risk of making a mine by exrend-
ing additional thousands. 1t is a
rare instance nowadays when such
a transfer is made, and it is only
because of phenomenal showing on
the surface. The prospector should
know this, and may avoid much
disappointment and get rid Of that
tired feeling while waiting The com
ing of the investor by getting in
and showing up his property to tn"
best of his ability. IF it have value,
he can show up the good points to
better advantage by judicious de
velopment; if it have no value,
the quicker he discovers it himse,
the better off he will be. t his
discovery ''pays from the grass
roots down. as the saying goes, OF
course he can get along without
seeking an introduction to a capt.
alist; the capitalist will introduce
himself But such strikes are eN-
ceedingly rare. The great maj IL
ity of claims have ordinary surface
showings and require patient and
persistent work to prove their val
ne. 1t naturally follows, that tie
more time and money spent in
intelligent development, the greater
becomes the value of the property
II it have merit at the beginning.
In short, if you have anything to
show the hard-headed, experienced
mining man who comes around and
may invest, show him all you can.
