Praiiie Citv has a set of instruments, we under stand, and hope to be able to "tont" their horm as sojh as a goo J instruct or can be induced to come anrmir them and give instructions.

PjDITOR NEWS While yo,u are so earnestly and successfully laboring to make your paper what it name imports. 1 am tempted to lend a helping hand by fu-rnish-inp; a few items from this re- i .i i , O " " MOte Corner Ot the county which is not now in the coun ty, since the survey leaves the airencv three and one-fourth miles east of the county line, and therefore in Baker county. As T have no startling or im portant news Baker Co. should not complain if the Grant Co. News forages upon the slim picking a (lorded in this thin slice of lately ceded territory. In fact we Baker county peo ple feel generously inclined to ward your Grant county peo ple since you so freely gave us of vour broad acres, and. with them, your able and big-heart-ed Senator to represent thosa acres and v ur peop'e in the legislature. The survey' no- parly is now across the.-So nth Malheue? and near Ban-en Valley. Thev did not estab lish the corner at whaT we have called the summit of the moun tain, but four miles farther east at the summit of the di viding ridge bet we on Crane Prairie and Summit Prairie and near the sign-board whore the areivv. roai leaves me noi-e ;'.nd Can von Citv road. Pv this you can see we are not in-clim-d to iro bevond thelsw. but give Grant, full four miles of good timber along- the line of the Boise road. True, the corner as now established is south of the point where the roadv crosses the summit, but not more than thtec miles. .
