Official Papor For Grant County.

S. H. Shepherd, Editor.
THE BOUND KYLINZ.
Malheur Agency, Or., May 22, 7'.).
Editor News: Mr. Vantis, Coun
ty Commissioner of Baka- County, is
here with a load of supplies for the sur
veying party engaged in running the
County Lino, as established by thelast
Legislature. lie informs me that the
party consists of seven men, and that
the surveying is being dot.o by M.
Foster, of Baker Ci'v. Thev aiv nou
Castle Peak and are expected here to
day, lie says they are .after Mr. Dav
idson and think they will get him.' If j
Grant will not let him leprescnt her for j
ids full term Baku will elect him, so
he shall nut lose any of his term or its
honor. lie also informs me that the
bill for surveying will not likely ex
ceed TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS to
Grant Country's share. When the pat
ty arrive, I will inform you about the
size f t the slice 15aker County is goo - 1
bhng irom Grant.
From the above it will, be seen that
Baker County wants' to go ut!e whole
hog or none." We are of the opinion
that the Ilonoiablo County Court of
that county will have a glorious time
collecting the amount as claimel by
them to be "Grant County's share."
How is it that our Senator submitted
to be deceived by the Sen at r from Ba
ker in the establishment, of the boun
dary line at, the last session of the leg
islatuRe? Mr. Davidson surely wa de
ceived, for all know that he would n- t
intentionally legislate himself out of
this county, but no doubt he has put
himself in a fair position to be a citizen
of Baker County. "YY e aiv soi ry to si
our honorable Sen at- r in this way, and
more so because it is against lis win
not only do we regret to loe him but
also do we hate to give away a slice of
our county. After Baker Comity gets
a portion of Grant for nothing they
employ surveyor, helper.-, teams and
purchase all supplies in Baker City,
and then propose to hand in a bill of
twelve hundred dollars or over as our
share of the expenses and have the au
dacity to think this county will sub
mit to all, like a lamb. They should
remember that the initial point of com
mencement line, as proposed by the io
stigator of the bill, and so passed, is
out in the Pacific Ocean. Perhaps it,
would be well for our Baker Comity
neighbors to look up the bid and s e
what a blunder there is in it before too
much expense is incurred.
An Offer A number of citizens
of this county have made the remark
that "the' thought they would not sub
scribe for the News, a rhy had been
'bilked' out of their money twice before
by 'newspapers' in Canyon Cby." It
is a foregone conclusion with us that a
paper can live, thrive and succeed in
Grant County; and havb.g arrived at
the above conclusion we will make the
following offer to those who have 'lost'
three, six or nine dollars bv th' other
papers, by waiting until th-y were on
the eve cf suspension before they sub
scribed; it is this, that if they will hand
or send in their name inside of one
month we will send them the News for
oue year, with the understanding that
if we do not run a year they pay us not
a quarter but if they receive the paper
a year they arc to pay us So. i30. Our
terms are three dollars in advance, but
we make the above offer to show that
we mean buiness and have more coun
ty pride than some men who own large
interests here and have lived in the
county for years. We are willing to
furnish the News to such men for a
year on the ab?ve term, (and it must
be so undertood), for when it comes
to county advancement we are no three
per cent man. To those persons who
were injured by the Iudiaus last Sum
mer, that are desirous of subscribing
o
we are perfectly willing to take from
them wood, eggs, chickens, butter, or
such vegetables as we can use.
