Mrs. C. Moran has as fine a lot of straw
berries as we have seen in Oregon, some of
them measuring nearly eight inches around.
Mr. Kleinsniith had his straw man, which
he kept in his berry garden, stolen and
placed in the new church. Some one must
have had little to do.
Owing to the recent heavy rains the car
penters have not been able to make the
progress anticipated on the new church, but
expect to have it completed ready for dedi
cation early in July, The church is 2fix'W
feet, 20 feet high, with a steeple rising 30
feet above the roof.
Mr. Luny is building one of the largest

Hon. Sam Oglesby, the Needy Hlitii-inn,
passed through Mark's Prairie last week
with his two intended brothers-in-law and
an outlit of carpenter's tools, on his way to
his ranch, where he intends to begin im
mediately the construction of a large two
story dweiling-houe. Owing to leasiugliis
" little old log cabin'" and contemplating in
the near future to take unto himself a "rib,"
it becomes quite necessary to make the afore
said improvements. So look out for tbe big
white house on the corner.
Prof. E. E. Cunningham, the celebrated
cornetist of Mark's Prairie, and Milton John,
two young men froniJMissouri, who have
been working on the prairie for some time,
left last week for Grant's Dale, Montana.
They are both gradually making their way
back to "old Missouri," where "Minnie"
and " Lulu" are so patiently waiting for
them.
Mr. Editor, if you have a surplus of good
strong men Ifi Oregon Citv, willing to work,
send them to Mark's Prairie, as some of
our farmers are needing more hands badly.
Most of the farmers on the prairie will
celebrute the coming fourth at Aurora, ot
which place they are making great prepara
tions for a rousing celebration. And by the
way, Mr. Editor, this brings to mind the
fact that Aurora todav commands the best
outlet for the products of this prairie, and
in fact this whole portion of the county.
While Aurora is perhaps less pretentious
than some of her less favored rivals, never
theless the fact remains that she has more
natural advantages, and will continue to
draw more of our vast trade than Canhy,
Hubbard, or much blowed Barlows. Bo
much for natural advantages; but we would
suggest that the citizens and business men
of Aurora use a little more business saga
city, and make better use of their advant
ages. With"proper encouragement given to
emigration and all kinds of business enter
prises, Aurora would soon become one of
the leading towns of this valley.

The crossing of Little Ticky Creek 200
yards south-west of Handy post office is be
ing much improved by the erection of a
substantial bridge 100 feet long and heavily
planked. As it is built mainly by volunteer
labor the burden has been unequally divided,
cause of bis. 'devotion to this church, and
the e-Ac-em in which he was held, this Ufa
'..lilarly known as the "tirahani church,"
and neiglitntrhood or distiict. Another set
tlement, with tuo churches and a school
house, much nearer Heaver Creek, has since
arisen, and. naturally claims that name.
When our school house wus built it received
the name of Kairview, though in w hat the
fair view consist it would lie hanl to tell.
For a time our st office was designated as
Cams, either the u in Cams, or the mlndof
the official w ho makes Hist otllce names,
being upside down. At lust our bright -eyed,
correct post mistress procured the right
and we think thai Cams will hence
forth be the proper and appropriate cogno
men for this locality.
i' tuler the laithl'ul, efficient service of our
clerk of the school Isianl, the school house
has received two new coats of paint with-
out, a neat, convenient set of school furni
ture within, and, at present writing, said
clerk and chairman of the board are making
vigorous application of water, broom and
mop to the floor.
Now why not spend some energy and ma
terial on the old church building? It la
sadly in need of fresh paint without and
within; new window lights anil otherminor
repairs. At a smull expense a shed couid
be provided where wood might be stored In
stead of using the hack seats fur a wood
shed, as is now the case.
This reminds us of the taw mill. Its

presented from attending to my work and could
not move about without the use of a cane. Hear
