OSLY PAPER IN Gil A NT COLW.LY.
Official Pajior For Grant County.
Canyon City, Saturday June 7, 1879.
II. SiiEPiiEitD, Editor.
Personal Motes-
Judge L- 0. Sterns, of Laker City,
made us several pleasant calls while
attending conrfc in this city. The
Judge h an old resident of Canyon
City, and has hosts of friends here.
Mr. EJ Flaherty, of Independence,
called in aod'rcporto.l that that cam p
was lively, and tint numerous rich
strikes had be n made there laudy.
Jacob Helmendoch was in and say
that his sheep are in fine condition
Mr. Jas Laswell of Spanish Gulch,
droppc i in several times- Everything
is lovely in that section.
Mr. Pdtcr Frenah, the "bi.? cattle
man" of this county, accompanied by
Mr. M. Fitzgerald, of C amp Harney,
also called. Mr. hYoneh his delivered
about 900'J head of cattle on the Da
vis contract.
Maj. Magone called and showed us
the design of his pntent oat separator,
and expressed the opinion that Maj.
rMgrric and S- II- Shepherd would do
something for Grant county yet
"Amen."
Air. Lord, of the firm of Hotaling &
Co wholesale liquor dealer-, of Port
land, g:tve us a, friendly shake, and
congratulated us on the Jar
rm 1VM1 li
tion our paper had revived to start
with-;
His Honor, Judge L. L. McArthur,
stopped in and sati-fi-jd us that his
health was never bet'or. The Judge
is grinding business up pre'ty lively,
and as far as he is concerned, all iret
justice.
Prosecuting Attorney, L. P. Ison,
spent several pleaaant moments with
us. lie looks hearty and is as eager
to prosecute the guilty as of yore.
Mr. W- J. Oooksey, of Camp Har
ney, called in and reporie 1 every thing
in Ilarnev Valley as in a flourish in---state
of afTairs.
Rev. R. D Nevius has made us
several pleasant calls since h i hi;
been in the city.
Mr. N. S. Babcock, N. Thornt-.n,
Jud. Ilaguegood, B. C. Throwbridge,
Sum. K. Johnson, and several others
whose names we failed to get, also call,
ed and gave us words of eneo ura"e-
ment.
Freight. The tja-iis ar
c.vnmir
2
in pretty fast now, and all are loadel
to the "gnards." We have some
freight that was in Mr. Z. P. Mnody.s
houe at the Dalles, from about the
7th of Mirch unt:l the sa:ni day
of theSr, Miy 21th. We knew not
where it was until we had taken trou
ble to tracei t up from Cleveland, Ohio
to Umatilla, and io;-eivcd a letter a
few days ago from Mr Foster that he
had shipped it t) the Diiles to Mr.
Moody, the 5th of March- Commis
sion men slijould at least notify ship
pers as to their goods once in three
months. To excuse for such gross
neglect.
A Hand. Why not have a brjiss
band in Canyon City? 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. If the musi
cians of this place would organize, the
two bands could employ a teacher and
the expense would ba ligh. on b th
bands.
Eraxiv McISean is running some
fine buekboards lroin hero to Mc Der
mic Apples. Mr. Rinehart in
forms us that he recently sold
a lanre load of apples to a
man who 1ook them to Baker
City to re-sell to parties thore.
That is right. Grant county
can raise fruit in abundance,
and if needs be can furnish
Baker count- all the fruit' it
needs.

mingle his sweetness with the aoirels,
and flnre the tender gloiies of the Gol
den City B'-duw are given a few
excessive lines writ en by the grief
stricken uiotlier, and read by Mr. 10 ids
at the close of the funeral Service-.
They wi'l touch a responsive chord in
the he w ts of other mothers who h iv e
bo.vel in sorrow over the deluutc
i
forms of their little ones.
Our baby is an angel fair,
Leyond all eutbly woe.
No pain nor sickoe-; enters there,
Nor death, the cruel foe.
Our little angel dropped aleop,
And we laid him down to rst
With his little dimp'ed hands
Placed upon his breast.
One more harp is tuned in Heaven,
Mingled with the Angels fair,
And if we our beans to Christ will
uiw,
"We hall meet our darling there.

While yo,u are so earnestly

lend a helping hand by fu-rnish-inp;
a few items from this re-

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.
