SNOW ON THE MOUNTAINS Last evening after the rain which visit ed Baker City had ceased, a light skiff of snow could be seen on the highest peaks of the Elkhorn range. The snow was light and did not remain very long but it was plainly discernable for some time. This is the earliest date on which snow has fallen on these mountains within the memory of many old timers, although snow in September is not an unusual thing. But it was uery cold even in Baker City and it was certainly cold enough for snow on the mountains.

F. D. No. 2" We have refrained from publishing the name for thero is no doubt hut that the young lady expected the brx to be sei t farther away and besides it would be un fair to have her flooded with letters from all the old bachelors intl e country. How ever, in order to assist the young lady in securing a sweetheart, the city editor of the union has consented to act as official censor and all communications intended for the young lady should be sent to him. The standing of the applicants will care fully be investigated and the letters of those on the elegible list will be forwarded to the lady at FreeWater and the balance will be published.
