They say that beache cares of
any old kind are in great de
mand today.
Cozey'a army would not stand
any show whatever with that
aggregation that held sway in
our city yesterday. :;
we need a lew weeks of warm
weather, and ne doubt it will
arrive in sufficient quantities
to cause ua all to be supremely
satined.
It will be interesting to know
what foundation there is for the
the report that Japan has or-
aered foreign mercbauts to
leave Port Arthur, and, if it i
true, why the step ha been
aken, An explauation will, no
doubt show aome wise, mili
ary reason, but the case ia bad
ly confused up to this time.
One year ago ibaight ootne
thing happeued in the valley
that we all have had occasion to
: remember ever since. , That lit
tle frost cost this county consid
erable in excess of $400,000.
That will eoon be a past event,
the preset crop will wip out all
the losses and then leave a sur
plus in most instances.
Heretofore we have always
entertained a rather hisjh opin
ion of our sister town, Baker
City,but when that speci il oar of
hobots arrived last evening and
conducted themselves as such on
our prinoiple street, we do not
see ,how 1 any,, city can harbor
uch a class, and make any pre
tense whatever toward tsivili-'
cation.
I About every two wteks the
report of the electrio railroad is
most flattering, but so far there
are no outward signs confirm
ing these reports. However, as
none of our citizens are footing
the bills which have ruu up into
the thousands of dollars, beyond
the intense interest of seeing
aotual work commence ou the
undertaking, we should be pati
ent we presume.' . It means ,a
a great deal tothis county when
that line is completed.
There is a great deal of agi
tation in Vermont over the
proposed .execution of the wo
man, Mary Rogers, and . some
people seem to have gone daft
on the subject. These tak the
ground that a omiu sh ould
never be execu'ed. It is rather
hocking to think of a woman
being hug d, but no more so
thau to tlnuk that a woman
could be guilty of a. brutal
crime. - -
i Uneasiness on the France
German frontier is still reported.
Both governments, are vigilant
and both governments are mar
gin mili'ary ' preparations.
