followed Charley McCrary and the "big

where a small three room house owned
by a Mr. Orr was found.to be about two
thirds consumed by fire. Those who roda
on the truck will ever remember the ride
as certainly all previous records were
broken. There was nothing too larua to
be run over and nothing to high to jump
off of. The bui'ding is a loss, about j
seventy-five dollars. The house is I
unoccupied. Origin of the fire is unknown.

Th Vergers Telephone company of La.

gaged on the construction of new tele
phone line to Medical Springs and Cornu
copia. J. B. Ford, in speaking of this to
the Democrat remarks: v
"The new line will put us in direct com
munication with Union and La Granda '
and of course we will buy our goods in
those cities for the reason that we will be '
m direct communication with them. Tha
railroad from Union will reach the Indiana '
mine before snow flies, and if anyone
thinks we are fools enough to stage it to
Baker when we can travel to Union in a
comfortable coach they are mistaken.
Our people are already establishing
friendly relations with the merchants of
Union and La Grande and as soon as the
new road is completed many of our people
will move their families from Baker Citv
to Union."
Our sister cities may not have gold
mines, but they have enterprise enough
to go out into the world and capture the
mining trade of other cities, which is just
as good." Baker City Democra t.

Both the cow boy and ladies' races will be '
interesting features. Three milee will be

and riders must change horses each mile.
This means that contestants must pro
vide themselves with not less than three
mounts. The relay races last vear war
