Editor News: I se by the Dalles
Mountaineer that a corresdondent writ
ing lrom this !ace Fays: "It seems to
me that people who need homes con do
Wire than come hero. There is hut
"ne tin hop in thi county, but one
blacksmith shop in thi town, only one
paint, f-hnp here. T ain satisfied a good
steady painter cmld find work if he
would c;tabli-di a shop ht-r-."
Now, while I admit that poople can
do well here, I also wish to say that
Max Mctschan, with the aid of all the
stores in the county that keep tinware,
can and does do all of the work that is
to he done in his line in the county.
It. ha bei?n fully demonstrated that
one blacksmith shop dots all the vrork
that coiner to this plac. There
are two paint shops in this place, and
as far as we know both are steady men.
It is seldom, indeed, that you find so
good a p:iint?.r, in a place like this, as
is Sjirr. Sired. I enjoy a joke, but
I never, w ll hardly e?er, -oi Sam.
t ike a drink, hence I rc-ommn I him
as a steady painter.
"TOOnLES."
In connection with th above vc
simply ask would it he r:rht ?o all mn
to advise, in addition t the ab ve,
for the following professional men
to come here and hope to divide
the trade an I m ike a living: a
printer, a brewcryman, a photura
pher, a harness makor a barber, a law
yer, a liverym in, a dentist, anl a shoe
maker. Our readers can answer the.
above for themselves 13 n t we are sat
isfied that a irond watchmaker, a cig'ir
maker, a god tailor, a good milliner,
and a mod "Unsm't'i would do well
hire as there are none of the ab.ivo
trades represented in thscuinty.
We will w.iger our hat that the Or
egon people eat more b. ef and drink
m.ire whisky than the people of any
other Shre in the Union, and vet it is
seldom that you see a drunk )eison.
We have sejn more drunk men and
"bigger" fb-Is in civilized towns in the
East than we have ever seen in any
unincorporated mining camp on this
coast.
Music -Mr. F. W. Fnrman, of the
firm of Sutliff & Watson, music deal
ers at the Dalles, paid this valley a visit
this week. He our has thanks for the
present of several pieces nf fine sheet
music, among which were "Strangers
Yet," "Turn Down the Liht," "A. B.
C," and several other elegant pieces.
Send to Sutliff & Watson for vour nice
music.
Joaquin Miller would lauh and
sigh if he could see hi old home in !
this city now. Laugh to see how full j
the mnt tre-.'s are with delicious fruit,
and sigh because he does not now own
the place. Mr. Kvlly now reaps the
benefit at.d blessings of Joaquin's early
labor on the place.
The new pnstoffire is about complet
ed and Mr. Hall expects to move in
to the new building about next Wed
nesday. It ie a decided 'improvement
over the old room. It will be very
unhandy for the mailing clerk of the
News office to carry the mail so fai,
but "sich is life."
Dr. J. W. Howard's new drug
store room will he finished in a few
days aod then you will see a way-up
drug storo in Canyon Cif
From Louis Bappe.
Fort McKinny, W. T.
Aug. 7th, 1879.
S. II. Shepherd: Some noble-hearted
son of your place was kind enough
to send me a copy of yur Grant
County News. I was glad to see
such a well put up paper for a new be
ginner in that country, and I wish to
get your paper once a week for one
year. I sond you S3 for the same.
Canyon City is my old home. I arriv
ed in Canyon in the spring of 18G3
on the 12th day of May. I lived on
Canyon Creek as a placer miner up to
June, 1874; then moved to Silver
City, Idaho, and lived there until 187G.
I left that place lor Deidwood City, in
the Black Hills. I stayed in the Black
Hills four monthsand prospect d all the
while. Not finding what I was after,
I concluded to look for something else.
Arrived at Fort McKinney in August,
1877, and have been here ever since
I have some relations in your t)wn and
some in Prairie City, where I opened a
derrick claim at the mouth of Dixie
Creek, and perhaps the claim ia in op
eration yet. Jud Haguewood, from
Canyon, and Nick Thorton, from Prai
rie City, aie my brothers in-law. I
don't know whether they are dead or
alive, and I would like to find out by
your papir. Yours truly,
Louis llArPE.
In answer to Mr. Rappe we wiil say
that '"Nick" Thorton is still at Prairie
City. Jud Haguewood is driving
t-ta.ae on the Baker City and Dalles
daily stage line, but a few days ago the
horses started to run and threw Jud,
thereby dislocating his shoulder, he is
nn ajiain and lining wt-ll. Dr. O. M.
Dodson married Mrs. N. W. Th.rntnn
a few months since. The claim you
opened ar the mouth of Dixie Creek is
now run by a lame force of Chinamen.

will receive and receipt for all monies
due the Grant County New. II'.

ers and ad-i i t semc'ts to be given to

have been .-low, as we drnre and int-nd
to name no man as agent, who does not
tand on the top r..uud in his own coun

Good Prospects. Mr. J. G. Cutn
mens sent us a sample of his oats grown
this season, and also some fine cabbage,
potatoes and corn. Judgiug from the
samples, we say that Mr. Cummens has
a fine prospect to at least regain part of
his wealth that he lost last season by
the Indians. The oats straw measured
seven feet high. The heads on the
stalks are ooe and one half feet long,
and the grains are large and well filled
We are told that his whole field is
about as good as the sample sent to us.
The oats will perhaps yield over 75
bushels to the acre. The stalks can be
seen at tin? office.
Rich Ledge. Mr. Fred Miller was
in town last Thursday and showed, us
some rock taken from hi9 ledgo on Can
yon Creek about five miles from this

every piece and is the richest rnck we

have taken an interest in the minw and
rock will be srnt to San Francisco to
be assayed. We will give more par
ticulars of the ledge in the future.

Canning Green Corn. Cut the
corn off the cob and fill your cans afier
thoroughly scalding them with the
corn, take a spo-n and press very hard
so as to fill the can full, put on the cov
er loosely. Put your cans into your
wash boil u after putting something un
der them to prevent them from break
ing. I use the grate from the bottom
f the oven. Fill in cold water up to
the bulge of the cm, put on the boiler
cover and boil for two hours, take off
the stove, let stand until cool enough
to handle, fasten the covers light
and set in a cool place in the cellar.
I usually get mine ready in the fore
noon and boil after dinner. If these
directions arc strictly followed, you can
enjoy the same pleasure that we have
for years, of eating sweet green corn
in the winter. It will need only to
warm when you use it out of tho can.
