THE GREATER RELIGION.

This week a poor woman with four
little children drifted into Pendleton
in a covered wagon on her way to
friends in some distant point in east
ern Oregon.
She was out of food, the children
were scantily clothed. the team was
poor and utter destitution was writ
ten in every feature of the pitiable
outfit. The entire family was i'll with
consumption.
Needing immediate aid she tele-
phoned to members of the county
court.
The hand of public charity doled
out pittance and she went on with
her little brood to the next town,
where the same sorrowful program of
begging would necessarily be repeat
ed.
1t seems to the East Oregonian that
the greatest religion in the world is
TO reach out and shelter families of
this kind. 1t seems that homes. hos

HITCHCOCK'S CAREER.

Ethan Allen Hitchcock, who will
retire from the interior department
next March, has made a record which
will not soon be forgotten.
His investigation and prosecution
Of the oregon land frauds, alone, will
stand as monument to his memory
in the nation. The circumstances
leading up to and surrounding this
investigation were peculiar and made
the task particularly unpleasant.
His own party was in power, the
frauds involved influential men high
in the councils of his party, the dis
closures would naturally besmfrch
public officials and private citizens
who were counted as "war horses
in his party-and yet this old Mis-
sourian dared to plunge into the in
vestigations. let the lightning strike
where it might
The result has been world-famous.
senators, congressman, petty leaders,
private citizens were entangled in the
meshes OF the investigations, the
party machinery was worked over
time in the effort to call Hitchcock
off, hut he probed the frauds to the
bottom.

Even those who are not bound by
ties of blood and sympathy with the
south can not be Indifferent to the
greatness, the. sublime character of
the loyal wife. The noble woman,
brave. patient, true to what she be-
lieved a just contention!
Only a few will understand the
greatness and the strength of the wo-

their country than they of the south
land) and went to dwell among
strangers. where the bitter scenes of
the past were less likely to be recalled.

Few women could have borne all

an GOD WE TRUST"

This is the motto which is stamped
on all our silver and gold coins. Yet
1t was not until 1854 that 1t became
custom, and the first coin which bore
the motto was a copper two-cent piece
which was coined on April 22, 1864,
especially to have this motto stamped
upon It.
The idea was originally suggested
by a man from Maryland, who said
that as we were a Christian people 1t
was only meet that we should make
proper ecognition Of the fact in our
coinage. The motto itself was taken
fran the national hymn, "The Star
Spangled Banner"
About 1886 the London Tit-Bits Of
fered a prize for the best definition Of
| money. The following definition by
Henry Beggs, was awarded the de-
cision: Money is an article which
may be used as a universal passport
to everywhere except heaven, and as
a universal provlder of everything ex-
cept happiness. ss."-Chicago Record

Ida CAMP RECEIVERS AND
IS FORGING TO THE FRONT

The Ida district is about to open up
again, after having been practically
closed down for a year. The district
had a Jonah put upon it by the peculiar
banking methods of one Burton; and
was a long time recovering from the
shock of his operations. At the same
time. work has been gong on and the
work is now beginning to bear fruit.
The High For Luck mine, which is one
of the most promising mines in the dis
triet, is owned by J. l.. Kalfus, one of
the lucky leasers of the Mohawk and
his associates. Mr.. Kalfus is president;
DR.. Pennington, of the Velvet lease, vice
president; James began, cashier of the
Nye and Ormsby County bank, treas
urer; S. Thornton Langley, secretary.
The property is located in the Pal
metto range between Ida and Silver
Peak, about eight miles northwest of
Ida and adtoins the Golden Chariot
group and the Ida Belle, the latter be-
iag owned by Governor Spraks. The
Centennial group. which was bought
within the last few weeks by President
Thomas B. Hickey of the State Bank
and Trust company, lies to the south
west.

nothing could be lone until Kalfus,
Pennington and Langley finally secured
control by buying up the majority of
the stock and selling $4,000 shares of
treasury stock. This was not more than
thirty days ago., since which time the
mine has been properly equipped with
machinery. There are now 600 feet of
rails and two one-ton cars in operation
and the company is figuring on putting
in a mill.
A contract has been let to drive a tun-
mel 200 feet deep which is being driven
at the rate of four feet a day. 1t is
estimated that when this work is COM
pleted, it will bring the workers under
"a point where three veins converge and
where it is anticipated that shipping
ore will be found.
There are now on the dump IS sacks
of ore, which it is claimed will run
from 500 to $4,000 a on. Shipments
will be made to Silver Peak, sixteen
miles distant, to which point the rail-
road from Tonopah will soon be COM
pleted.

P0SEY AND OTHERS OF NOTE
HEAVY In CUPRITE COPPER

The Goldheld and Bullfrog railway
reached Cuprite with its track the first
of the week and a side track is now be-
ing put in and the work of erecting a
depot will be under way soon. This is
the first station on the new road and is
IA miles almost due south of Goldaeld.
That a new mining camp and a good
one will be developed in the cuprite dis
trict is the opinion of nearly every min
ing man who has given the camp an in
spection. The surface showing cannot
be excelled in any of the copper camps
of the state and the grade of the ore is
exceptionally high. Dykes and wide
ones can be traced through a section of
country 9 miles north and south and 2
miles east and west. The formation is
somewhat similar to that great copper
camp in Arizona, Bisbee-and the ore is
found in lime and shale. On nearly
every one of the claims picked pieces
of the float quartz can be found that
will assay well the pay values being in
copper, gold and silver.
Cuprite Is an offspring of Goldheld
and the greater portion of the mineral
lied belt is owned by residents of this
town. The first locations were made
about two years g and up to date
some 500 claims nave been recorded. No
extensive work has been done on any
of the properties but enough has been
done to prove that ore in paying guam
titles exists on three of the dykes. Sew
eral small shipments have been made
from the camp to the Goldfeld samplers.
One of three tons was settled for at a
little better thar 500 a ton and another
went $3.50. This ore came from the

ore showed the high value of So per cent
