ATTRACTIVE DISPLAY,
Eastern Oregon Minerals Sus-
prise all Beholders.

The most attractive mineral display al
the exposition Is the collection Of nuggets
from the various eastern Oregon placers.
Among the number we noted from the
Humboldt placer one which carried twelve
ounces Of gold. From Susanville there
was smaller nugget Of almost solid
gold, valued at $50, with other fine ores
from the Yankee Boy and the placer
property Of Colonel Painting, near Robin.
sonville. Among the large collection Of
fine specimens which Mr.. MeIlis exhibits
from eastern Oregon mines are some very
rare ones, as large piece Of lime spar
thlckly threaded with wire gold, which
was found in the Great Northern mine in
that section. From the Dagget diggings
is large nugget showing more gold than
quartz, with magnificent specimen Of
leaf gold from near RobinsonviIle. %
The entire display Of eastern Oregon
would attract attention anywhere, with its
large specimens Of ore from such mines as
the Red Boy, which pays s,oo, 900 a year
IN dividends; the Columbia and North
Pole, the latter owned by the Barring
Brothers Of London, England, and pay.
ing dividends Of 100000 a year, while
the Columbia pays as much; the rich
Bonanza yields its fortunate owners, the
Standard Oil company, dividends Of not
less than 100000 yearly, while the Col.
conda Is making itself so famous by the
almost fabulously rich ore which is being
taken from its depth that II hardly needs
mentioning. A large quantity Of ore
from the rich chute in which they are now
working Is on exhibition. The large
pieces OF blue quartz ore threaded through.
out with cleaning lines Of gold and It Is
not hard to realize that such quartz runs
as high as $4,000 and s,o, 900 to the ton.
There are many more properties show.
ing rich specimens Of high grade ore, such
as the lbex, Great Northern, and scores
OF others which give every promise Of
shortly being as rich properties, as big
dividend payers as those first mentioned.

Opportunity to Advertise Sumpter.

N. c. Richards, an attorney from Tia.
coma, has come to Sumpter to remain and
practice his profession. He has taken Of.
fees in the NeiIl block. Nj. Richards
says that hundreds Of men are coming
down from Alaska at this time Of year,
many Of them with considerable money,
who are looking for a location. Most Of
them prefer mining camp, and II Stump.
ter could have its advantages presented
to these people, II would secure many de-
sirable citizens. There Is really no
branch Of business on the Sound In which
money can be protitably invested at the
present time, which condition Of affairs
would tend very materially to Sumpter's
advantage, should this opportunity be
grasped.

It is hinted that the president would like to retrace his steps, even to the abandonment of the Philippine islands, but the syndicates that are planning to secure the millions of acres of highly productive agricultural lands, the mountains minerals and the forests of valuable woods, will permit no back down from the original policy of treat ing the natives as the Indians were treated in this country.-f Kansas City Times.

Postzoe to be Reduced to On. Cent.

The enormous increase in the num- Der of letters carried in the U. s. mails makes it certain that the rate of post age must eventually be reduced to one cent an ounce. The President who succeeds in getting such measure through Congress will hold high place in the esteem of the people, but no higher than the esteem in which everybody holds Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This medicine has an unequal led record in reducing the sickness of mankind. It gets at the starting point of disease by acting upon the stomach direct, helping that important organ in it's duty of digesting food. It makes good appetites, allays nervousness, stimulates the kidneys, and makes rundown man or woman feel like a new person. Try it.

Water Storage.

From the Albuquerque rnal-Democrat.
 Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department intends to spend his vaca- ton this summer in the "arid regions, :" studying the subject of irrigation, and especially that branch of the subject which pertains to the conservation of the waters of the country through storage reservoirs, aiming to satisfy himself of the practicability of the res- i ervoir system for retaining the vast areas of land in these regions, now useless for agricultural purposes for want of irrigation. He says "there are six hundred millions of acres of good land in the western country, now useless because of the absence of water, which may be made productive by irrigation, and provision was sought in the last river and harbor bill for the construction of three experimental reservoirs in Wyoming for the purpose of demonstrating the feasibility of storing the water of spring floods for use in the dry season. Scientists who have studied the subject maintain that there is plenty of water in the arid regions, but it runs away before it is needed, and the proposition is to con tr:ve some way by which the melting snows and heavy rainfslls may be detained, and the water distributed during the dry season where it will do the most good.'
 There Is no way in which the secre- tary could put in his time to better advantage than in a mission like this, The question of how to conserve the great volume of water in the arid regions which now runs to waste every year, is by far the most impor- tant problem that the agricultural department of the government has to deal with, and there is no other way in which the secretary can get so much reliable and practical information on the subject as to come and look over the situation for himself.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The New York
stock market today made a determined
stand against the, decentralization re-
nected from London; and by the end of
the first hour seemed to have overcome
the weakness. The appearance, however,
was deceptive. Active liquidation was in
full force early in the second hour and
ate away the recoVeries that had been
achieved, forcing prices below the OPEN
ing low level. The market closed with
all the symptoms of Generalization and
at the lowest prices of the. week. The
days net losses for the principal active
stocks run from to points. In the rail-
road list the greatest sufferers naturally
were the shares that are listed on the
London stock exchange, and especially
those which have been recent speculative

Inc early resistance was due in large
part to the determind support afforded by
the distribution of large buying orders
through the list by inside interests in
the various stocks. These interests had
not waited for the opening here to do
this, but had cabled buying orders to
London. London, in the meantime, had
been comforting itself with rumors from
South Africa of retrieval Of Gen. Bull
lers bitter reVersals. The fact that to-
days steamer is the last that will be
available for shipments of gold gave
assurance Of relief from that drain dur
ing the coming week. There was a re-
