The Oregonian April 25, 1893
Mr. Matthews Departs for the Scene of His Eastern Oregon Properies
W.F. Matthews, after residing in this city for 28 years, left last evening, 
via the Union Pacific, for the gold mines located on East Eagle Creek in Union 
county, Oregon, to make arrangements for engaging in permanent business. After 
providing suitable quarters for the miners employed in the mines in which he 
is interested, he will return to this city to settle up some business matters, 
and then proceed East to purchase mining machinery, and will then go back to 
Eastern Oregon to look after his mining interests.
Mr. Matthews has refused several offers of good positions in this city, 
preferring to take his chances in his new enterpris.
It would thus appear that several street rumors lately started to the effect 
that Mr. Matthews was endeavoring to make a combination with a view of getting 
control with persons, outside of the old ring, of city and county politics 
from the mountains of Eastern Oregon. A host of personal friends wish him 
unbounded successin his new enterprise.
