SUMPTER MINING CONGRESS.
Called for October 2O-21-Meeting
Will Do Much in Promoting.

Will Do Much in Promoting.
Sumpter Ore, Oct. 13.-In the
past few months the renewal of min
ing activity in eastern Oregon has be-
come so general that 1t Is realized
that the time is ripe for the holding
Of a mining congress or convention
of the mining men Of the northwest
AS Sumpter is in the heart of a dis
trict that produces more than so per
cent of the gold taken out in the state
of oregon, it is thought to be he most
logical paint for holding the meeting.
The primary object of the congress
is to take up for discussion and or
ganlZed action matters of importance
to the mining industry in the north
west, or of national import to mining
for that matter. Men of reputation in
the mining and business world will
be here from distant points to talk
on mining topics.
The congress will be held on the
Goth and 21st of this month, and the
proposition is backed by the mining
and business men of Sumpter. So
confident are they of the success Of
the congress that they have contrib
tributed large fund for properly en-
tertaining visitors and paying expens-
es of the meeting. Invitations have
been sent in all dlrectios to mining
and other men of note to attend, and
the indications are that a large es-
semblage will be on hand.
Sumpter will take the opportunity
presented by this congress of show
ing what is really contained in the
Sumpter mining district. Attention
will be directed to the great possibili-
ties for future operations. The great
scope of the district will also be made
evident Ideas of treating ore will al
SO be advanced and In this 1t may be

The matter involves the division Of
the gate receipts. Manager Gwin of
Idaho, wants Manager Zednick to
guarantee his aggregation so cents per
person for all students, entering the
gate on that day. This cannot be
done, as a majority Of the Washing
ton students are provided with season
registration tickets for which they
paid IS.
Such an agreement was not. decided
upon last year when Washington met
Idaho. Nothing more than the usual
guarantee was negotiated. Final
word is awaited from Idaho.

Cnpid Meets Obstacle.

Tacoma, Wash.-Fred Flanagan Is
under arrest on a warrant sworn out
by Mrs. Eva Culbertson, who oper-
ates a St. Helens-avenue restaurant
She says Flanagan told her that un-
less she stopped receiving attentions
from his father ne was going to blow
her head off.
''I told him that his father merely
took his meals at my place" said Mrs.
Culbertson, "but he declares I was
alternating his affections from the
other members of his family, and that
he was going to kill me-"
''She has been jollying the old man
until he thinks he is about the most
fascinating person in town, and I
want to stop It. He is old enough to
know better" said Flanagan, who was
released on a cash bond.

shown what will be the best for fu-
ture treatment of the vast amount of
ledge matter that lies within the
mountains OF eastern Oregon.
The program of the congress has
not as yet been fully prepared, but
at this early date It is safe to state
that it will be both interesting and
instructive to every person in any
manner interested in mining. There
fore a cordial invitation is extended
to all mining men and people inter-
ested in mining to attend the conven-
ton.

A HENDERSON YOUNG LADY.
Miss Mary Butler, Wins Smedes Me-
mortal Schoinrs hip in Competitive
Examination With 81 Bright Girls.

Miss Mary Butler, daughter of SIR
E. G. Butler OF Henderson, has won
under competitive examination a
scholarship, entitled as above. Offered
by st. Mary's School, Raleigh. ~ c.
The contest was open to any girl in
the Carolinas. Thirty three from
twenty-three towns presented them
selves as candidates-only one OF them
being from Henderson.
The examination papers were pre-
pared at st. Mary's. A copy OF them
was sent to Prof J. T. Alderman with
the request that he and Rev. l. W.
Hughes act as examiners. This was
done at the home of Mr.. Alderman
where for ten hours, the time limit,
parts of two days, Miss Mary strug-
gled with the various problems as enc
by one they were given to her-Eng
lish and Literature, Including COM
positions on two subiects,) History,
Greek and Roman,) Science, Mathe-
MATES, and Latin.
At Just the anne time her cOmpeti-
tors throughout the two states were
striving for the same goal by solving
the same problems! And, doubtless,
with all of the fair contestants the
ordeal was a trying one. The COM
mittee promptly forwarded Miss But
ler's papers to Raleigh. About two
weeks later the secretary DIST. Mary's
wrote her congratulatory letter.
The following is an extract: ''Your
papers were the best submitted in the
recent competitive examinations and
you have therefore received the ap-
pointment to the Smedes Scholar
ship"
The fortunate young lady expects
to enter upon her new work at the be-
ginning ofthe fall term. The Scholar
ship holds good until graduation and
carries with it the sum of two hundred
and seventy dollars a year, to cover
part of expenses. Miss Mary has
never attended any institution of
learning except the graded school tf
Henderson, from which she was gradu-
ated recently-being Valedictorian of
her class of eight. Her Alma Mater
points with pride to her intellectual
attachments; while her monthly re-
ports running through the ten years
of her school life Commenced at six
and half years of age, and embrace
ing the full course of'eleven grades)
show that her department was in
variably "good," and that she never
received tardy mark. For all OF this
Miss Mary expresses herself as under
lasting obligation to Mr.. Alderman
and his corps of faithful teachers.
May great success attend her future
efforts.

attracted large crowds. Last We'd

til the protracted rains began to in

there was something doing" by q
large majority at Roses store. The
first of the week business lulled some

persed and the sun shines forth, the
rush is on again. The sale will con-
tinue throughout the week and to-

sick with bilious fever which develop
ed into malignant form complicated
with other troubles. She has been

her recovery. At this writing though
the symptoms are more favorable:
temperature, which was for awhile

no complications develop it is only a
matter of time when she will be her
