Grant Co. News. LOCAL BREVITIES. Feeding cattle is pretty general now, and many of them are very poor. Judge Dustin has moved with his family to their ranch west of town.t Baker county's apportionment of taxes for running expenses this year is 50,992.33. Public school, after an intermis sion of two weeks, has resumed bus iness at the old stand. Skating has "been fine," and ' nearly everybody took advantage of its pleasures ond dangers. Belva, Lockwood ran twice as well in Kentucky as in New York. She received three votes in all. Attorney S. S. Denning of the supposed soon to lc Hamilton coun ty, smiled on our town this week. A postoflice will be established at the Monumental mine, and the mail route extended from Granite.'' La Grande proposes to make a vigorous effort to secure the loca tion of the Union county seat at that place. N. H. A. Mason arrived in town Saturday evening on business con nected with the estate of the late Ghas. Lux. Residents of Granite and Olive mining districts are making an ef fort to become attached to Baker county by act of the legislature. Ice men took advantage of the late "cold snap" and secured a bountiful supply of five to seven inch cakes of this necessary pro duct. The Newyears edition of The Dalles Times-Mountaineer was a superb number, replete with infor mation concerning Eastern Oregon and Washington. Cash advances made on wool for consignment to Chriaty & "Wise, San Francisco. Coffin, k McFarland, Agts. tf. Arlington, Or. Jas. Mahori had a valuable horse to die Sunday night. He drove the animal into town from Harney last week, since which time he had been ailing, and eventually died. Mr. Geo. Owen, who usel to mine here in the early days, but now residing at Spanish gulch, was in the city this week in company with Mr. W. II. Johnson of Day ville. Baker City is now lighted by gas not the natural product, but pure bona-lide gas, her gas company having succeeded in plicing the plant in position and getting it into successful operation. The legislature assembly of the great state of Oregon will convene at Salem next Monday. We are all more or lws interested and anx ious to know what disposition will be made of Grant county. The gallows and scafibld for the execution of McGinnis have been completed, and unless the governor should grant a respite the murderer will pay the penalty of his -crime one week from next Friday. It is reported that Capt. A. W Waters will go to Salem to lobby in favor of the new county over at Long Creek. Then that do settle it. It is lwund to jro all ri"ht if the captain favors such a scheme. Grant countv lias the most horses and mules of any county in Oregon, 10,82o. It also lends in cattle with 47.1 IS. Crook county is at the head in sheep with 221,750. Lane county is the greatest grunter, with 7,825 hogs. In reply to numerous inquiries we will state that no bounty is offered by Grant county on Ea gle scalps. These proud birds, emblems of American liberty, can roam in safety so far as the law is concerned, but if stockmen desire to slaughter them for their own protection they may do so. A sheriff's trial was in progress before his Hon. Judge W.- P. Gray the latter part of last week, where in Joseph Pruitt was claimant vs. W. .1. Galbrailh plaintiff in the suit and contestant. The jury re turned a verdict in favor of the sheriff, and decided that the prop erty in dispute was the property of Tillary Pruitt. Spinks, the opium fiend and va grant, who was given two days to leave Grant county and never re turn, met with pretty much the same experience at Baker City re cently. He was arrested for larce ceny from a Chinese opium den, but released on condition that he depart from the city on the first train, which Iilcml proposition he ac ceptcd. A private letter to the News from Mt. Vernon states that Wm. Geary, the wild and wooly cougar slayer of modern times, of whom mention was made in theKe columns recently, killed four more of the destructive an imals the m other day, making eight inside of two weeks. The letter suggested the advisability of the county court removeng the bounty from these animals for fear that they might soon become extinct. Huy and wood teams arc busy. lsion, or no division, that is the question. Trot out your weather prog nosticalors for Eastern Oregon. Mr. and Mrs. C. V. Bonham of the upper South Fork country have been visiting in our city. Th'itygood men were selected as jurors in the justice's court of this precinct for the year 1889 last Monday. The bill for the creation of "Hamilton county" will leave Dixie mountain to the Grant county folks. Tommy McCuen made a trip over his stage line to our city this week, looking after the bus iness of the line. Gus Caspary, the "Wild Datchnian" of Haystack, was in our city this week on "county division" business. A late telegraphic dispatch from Washington says the president and Mrs. Cleveland walked to church through the bright sunshine. CommisMoncr.s McIIaley and Davis were at the seat of justice and at their post of duty early this term of Co. court, as usual. A spotted dog committed sui cide down the crick last week by means of a rock tied around his neck by some hoys, and then thrown into the water. ' ' The present term of commis sioners' court will be a busy one, as the renorts of the various road I i i super i&ui iuum we ucieu upon and new supervisors appointed. Coffin A MeFarland, of Arling ton intend opening a large store in Heppner on or before the first of March, thus securing the trade of a larye number of the wool raisers of Grant county. Hon. Thos. Howard who is in town from his home at Drewsey informs us that tlfc new U. S. land office at that place is almost ready to receive filings and transact any other business in tts line. The dedication of the new 1. 0. 0. F. temple at Prairie City last Saturday was pretty gener ally attended by members of the Masonic and Odd Fellow socie ties together with their families, and the occasion passed oft' very pleasantly. Two dog catchers in New York knocked a lady down and beat her to capture a pet dog which she carried in her arms. Tlfey got a year each in the peniten tiary for their enterprise and ought to get another in a do; kenncl, chained. Our outside visitors this week were quite numerous, and those who are not already mentioned I in the paper are Messrs. J. W. Greenwell and Lyman Perkins of Dayville, and J. P. Gearheart and Fred Bliss of Drewsey, who j each remembered the N i;ws of fice. Four years ago this month it will be remembered that snow laid all over the plains of East ern Oregon to the depth of from eighteen inches to three feet, and in the mountains about seven feet. This year there is none, and the question naturally arises are we to have an' snow in 1889. Montana shows up the banner mining territory for 1888. Her product exceeds $-10,000,000. It is enough to give every man wo man and child in the Republic two-thirds of a dollar each. It is a wonderful exhibit. That product enters into competition with no other product; on the other hand, by making money cheap, it enhances the product of every other man's labor. Numerous inquiries have been made lately to the News man in regard to the bounty on the scalps of wild animals which is offered by Grant county. That all the readers of the paper may be correctly informed wo will state that the bounties offered are as follows: On each cougar or panther $10.00; Wild cat lynx or catamount $1.00; wolf or cov otc $1.00; black tail rabbit 2c' Quito a stir in social circles hm been created lately based up on a "confession" of Pat McGin nis and the statements of certain "private detectives," whereby suspicion rested upon two resi dents of our town (relatives of the deceased) of being implica ted in the killing of deputy sher iff Lockwood. Affidavits have been filed, however, showing and 1 substantiating the fact of the ' whereabouts of these two persons on the evening of the tragedy. Mr. Denning who has been looking over the records during the week to obtain facts and fig ures in relation to the new coun ty, informs us that Hamilton countv wilL start out with an as sessment roll of $500,000. In order to derive sufficient revenue to run a county government tax es must necessarily be very high in the new county. If they are looking to segregation as a means of escaping their share of Grant county's debt it may prove a bad move, for they may have an al most equal debt of their own even before they are aware of it. I Subscribe for the News, Next summer's ice about all har vested. A revival of religion is in prog ress at Baker City. Califomians are greatly opposed to the bill for the division of their state. After all, this world is a danger ous place very few ever get out of it alive. We notice ex-county representa- tive Geo. Kinsley on our streets : it l tins weeK. The entire country can boast of exceptionally good roads for winter time. Who ever saw so much sun shine and fine weather during the month of January ? A man may sit in your oilico all day ami not le a bore, provided he j will listen while you talk. Jake Simons will shortly take a position as driver on the Baker end of the Baker-Canyon stage line. Mr. D. B. Binehait the apple and cider man still makes his usu al trips to this city and John Day with his goods. i Cattle on a thousand hills are I finding but little grass just now, ; yet they are rustling around to the best of thor ability. j The warehouses of Z. F. Moody j at The Dalles and Arlington, since t the HUh of April last, received and ! shipped -1,2 17,477 pounds of wool. Faith cure has split one of the i Minneapolis churches and is raiding several others. If faith will cuie soft corns it will bank rupt every church in America. The Chinese Empress and her assistants have been selected at last. The Emperor's name is Gong, and his nurse has not long done beating him, for he is a young chap. The young men of Canyon City are preparing to get up a gymnasi um for their mutual benefit and di version. Such a place will give all an opportunity to spend an hour's time very pleasantly. There seems to be some pros pect for an advance in the price of wool, as there is a shortage in the supply on hand, compared with last years supply, of over forty million pounds. Two North Carolina ncgros nearly beat each other to death the other day, in a quarrel about the High merit and social stand ing of the respective masters who owned them before the war. The conscience of McGinnis does not seem to smite him in the least He was taken out one day last week and shown the gallows on which he will be hanged, but the thought of death did not trouble him in the least. The Long Creek Eagle's pluck when displayed cannot but be ad mired. When the Nkv's treads on its corns it utters such noble and soul-stirring "screams" as "liar" "silly." etc. Come over and take something, Cholly. February lflth all taxes for the year 1888 will become delinquent, and the same not being paid on or before that date w ill have costs of collection added. Death and tax ation, remarked a wise man, are two things which we cannot escape. The Commission to locate a naval station for the North Pa cigc coast, has reached San Fran cisco, on its way to examine sug gested points for this improve ment, and it is said they have already decided to locate the same on Puget Sound. Call a girl a chick, and she smiles; call a woman a hen, and she howls. Call a young woman a witch, and she is pleased; call an old woman a witch, and she is indignant. Call a girl a kitchen, and she rather likes it; call a woman a cat, and she will hate you. Queer sex! The fait Lake Tribune asserts that there is a Mormon scheme on foot to dismember the Territo ry of Idaho and partition it off to the adjacent Territories. This, it is alleged, is for the purpose of getting all the Mormon popula tion into the territory of Utah, and then bide their time to slip into ihc l:nion in some party ex igency. According to a decision of a Kansas judge both husband and wife arc entitled to enter a place of amusement on a ticket read ing ''Admit one." This is glori ous news to editors of country journals, for when they do nine dollars worth of advertising for a "conip." they can rest assured that they will not be compelled to attend the show alone. A silver certificate, said to be an excellent imitation of the gen uine, is in circulation in the east, and there may be some on this coast. The only imperfection in the engraving of these bogus certificates is in the vignette of General Grant. The right side of his face is indistinct, and to control this fault the certificates have been soiled and rubbed so as to make the entire portrait soinowliat blurred. Look out for them. G. A. 11. Annivorsary Ball, Feb., 22, 1889. See particulars later, tf. A Boston wonian when writing to invite a friend to dine with her does not dare to affix "N. B." to her letter lest it be interpreted "no beans." The buffaloes aro nearly all gone, and now it is reported that only 5000 elephants are left in the" world.

Was dat rightf" Senator Mitchell has secured the passage in the Senate of the bill which had already passed the house to provide certain arms and ammunition and equipage to the state of Oregon for :ts militia. The bill is now in the hands of the president for his signature. Senator Blair has introduced an amendment to the Federal Constitution turning, the common schools over to the control of the United States, and inquiring that the Christian religion shall be taught in them. The amend ment should also define the Christian religion, for there is a difference of opinion about it. "When a man dies suddenly, without having been attended by a doctor," says a popular guide to the law, "the coroner has to be called in and an inquest held to ascertain the cause of death. But, adds the writer, "when he dies after having been attended by a doctor, everybody knows why he died, and an inquest is not necessary." New York Led ger. The country is being Hooded with alluring circulars and "con fidential letters" from attorneys in Washington and olsewhere, who want to help collect the claims of Oregonians for Indian war depreda tions for a consideration, of course perhaps twenty-five per cent. All of them should be entirely ignored. Not one of them can do a claimant a dollar's worth of service. The claims will be allowed just as soon, and for just as large an amount, if these attorneys should all die ri"ht now. East Orcgonian. The Scientific American, publish ed by Mmm it Co., New York, dining more than forty years, is be yond all question, the lea 'ling pa per relating to science, mechanic?, and inventions, published on this continent. Each weekly isssue presents the latest scientitie topics in an interesting and reliable man ner, accompanied with engravings prepared expressly to demonstrate the subject-. The Scientific Amer ican is inaluable to every person desiring to keep pace with the in ventions and discoveries of -the day. The Prineville stage upiet in ; ing up the Deschutes hill last Mon day, killing a Chinese passenger. One of the horset got his briblu off and as there was danger of the stage rolling down the hill Mr. Evans who was driving called to the passengers to jump out. Mr. King did so, Hamilton the driver leing at the time walking. The stage rolled down the hill taking the Chinaman along. He was found baddy bruised about the head, and unconscious, dying a short time after. The lxnly was brought here to be buried. Wasco Sun. The Salem Statesman savs: "Col. W. H. Waters has received a letter from his brother, Capt. A. W. Waters, stating that the "101" excitement has about died out in the Harney country and that he has not been moslested in any way since he dared the desperadoes to come to his door and have "death kiss their eye lids down." The decided stand taken by Capt. Waters, who is one of the coolest and bravest men who ever peepeed over the sights of a rille, had much to do with the surpression of this gang of lawless ruffians, who wished to run every man who did not "stand in" out of the country. They found he was a, hard man to handle and accordingly they left him alo'tc. He will remain in the Harney county and his many friends here need have no fear of his safety." Capt. Waters is indeed a brave man and a great hero, and the News recom mends him to the nations of the world'who are in quest of a great leader for their armies. The na tion which secures his services is bound to come off victorious in war, for a man who will calmly say to a "howling mob of despe radoes," "come and let me kiss your eyelids to sleep with my trusty Winchester," as a leader of armies ought to be a decided success. That 101 dodge was ' pretty well carried out, and Capt. j Waters no doubt had his share of fun out of it. What is strange i n bruit, fbn mnffor is that it all i died down simultaneously until the Captain's invitation to "come on," and after that time no one was ordered to leave. That seemed the proper time for the mob to cease troubling, for syin patv to a certain-degree was di rected to the bold herotf "101." Grant county's climate seems to make heroes. RELIGION'S FINANCIAL STRUGGLE. Ever since the beginning of the Christian era, says Bill Nye, from the time the first request was made for necessary funds to spread religion over as large a territory as possible , from the I earliest and simplest religion j down to the intolerance and car away of the Puritans, and the I more refined and spectacular de votion of to-day, the great prob lem, as I may say, has been how best to save the largest number of souls and still pay expenses. Every means, from the sword and the rack down to the bean-bag and the humorous lectures, have been employed to woy the coy and reluctant scudi from its lair. Gentle words, kind glances, melt ing tears, unanswerable logic in the pulpit and the pleadings of the press have united to build churches and to spread the gos pel in order to make men better and to bless the world. (Women were good enough to start with.) But what a battle it has been to make religion self-supporting! How many pangs, and tears, and hearl-burnings, and auction-cakes with frosting on them it has cost. The financial history of religion in America has been one of unin terrupted struggle, alternate hopes and fears, oppression, exhilira tion, apprehension and indiges tion.

A Umatilla gentleman regards the use of a fork much as we should think of the use of a bor rowed toothpick. He is troul led by the rclicetio'.i that it has been in other mouths and tl af some lazy siwnsh may have l.cglectcd to wash it pioperly. The care of his fingers is in his own charge, and lie knows that tycy are (dean and that they have never been in any one else's mouth. The town of Eureka, at one time one of the most flourishing mining camps in Nevada, is gradually, but surely being de serted. Everything there is on the retrograde and there is noth ing, even of a prospective feature, to check the steady decline that is taking place. Those who are leaving the old town say that it is doomed and those who remain do so from the fact that they, as a general thing, have projierty that they will not abandon until a general and final exodus takes place. Ex. The. acting secretary of war ban replied to .Senator Dolph's letter asking for information as to the probable date when final action would ho had by the war department on Indian war claims in Oregon, under the act of 1S.S2. The acting secretniy of war, in a letter to Senator Dolph. says that the board of examiners for state war claims have reported, under date, of the 22d ult., that the expenses of the state of Orcgoiij incurred n suppression of Indian hostilities in 1S77 and 1878, were Wlill-) oiwl rlmf i,n rnitnrr. nf the board has been approved by the acting secretary of war, and the amount reported to the sec-' rcliiry of the treasury, under the provisions of the act. Senator Dolph says that appropriation for payment of the amount will undoubtedly he made during the present session of congress. j During eleven monts of last j year 456 eouplc3 were divorced i in San Francisco. i j Mrs. Nancy Harris, the 15 1 year-old wife of a farmer living ; at Paris, Ind., lastNTuesday gave j birth to triplets. !

But this is the amount of wool produced in the Columbia river region in 1SSS . Orcgonian. A cave of unknown extent has been discovered in the Huaohuca mountains, near Tombstone, Arz. A lake of pure water occupies the Iicttom of the cave, around the margin of which were found human I Jones and a quantity of aucivnt pottery. Last September a man named Charles Brock ins skipped out from Union county after having robbed ovor half a dozen houses and taking property intrusted to his keeping by friends. The grand jury found five or six in dictments against him and Sher iff Hamilton commenced search ing for him. He finally learned that Rrockins had gone to Oswe go, New York, so he telegraphed to the sheriff there to arrest and I10K1 mm until a requisition could be obtained and an officer sent to bring back the fugitive. I'.rockins was arrested and Sher iff Hamilton came to Salem to secure the necessary requisition. On arriving here he was refused the papers by fJovernor Pennoy er. who thought the gravity of the osfence was hardly commen surate with the heavy expenses that would be entailed in bring ing the man all the way back from New York for trial. Ac cordingly Sheriff Hamilton was obliged to telegraph to the New Voile sheriff to release his man. Brackens was releasen after be ing in jail for three weeks, and, thinking he was out of the woods had the gall 10 sue the New York sheriff for .$10,000 damages for false imprisonment. Then Sher iff Hamilton was appealed to to get his brother sheriff out of the scrape. He in turn appealed to (iovernor Pennoyer and on Mon day the- rcmiirition was issued with the express agreement and understanding that the state of Oregon should be liable only for the actual cxpen.-vs of the sher iff while ca ivy ing ouj his mission. So Sheriff Hamilton will be oblig ed to go all the way to New York ami back, eatoh his prisoner if he e.m !it:d him a;id bring him back to Oregon without a cent of com pulsion. Sab-m Statesman.
