Tie Grant County News. ONLY PAPER IN GRANT COUNTY. Official Paper For Grant County. Canyon City, Saturday Aug. 7, IS80. S. H. Shepherd, Editor HAH3EY ITEMS. Port Harney, Aug. 1st, 1SS0. Editor News: A letter has been received by a gentleman of this place from the immaculate Sarah, in which she says that the Indians are not to re turn to the Malheur Agency for some time. The reason she assigns for their not coming is that the Secreta ry of the Interior has been appised of the hostile attitude assumed by the people of this country toward the Piutes, and that under the pres ent circumstances he deemed it ad vipable that they should remain "where they are, or words to that ef fect If the Secretary of the Inte rior wishes that the Piutes shall in crease and multiply their species and doubtless he does his action in not sending them back here now goes a long vray to prove that he has a level head. Meanwhile improve ments are going on at the Agency on a large scale. Teams, heavily laden with timber from French's mill pass hore at frequent intervals for that place, and freight teams are on the road from "Winnemucca with supplies for there. The average .Harney citizen isn't worrying him self much about the outcome of the -presidential election, nor is he los ing any sleep figuring out Dr. Tan oner's chances of being able to stick it out for forty days without grub. 'The question that agitates the Har jiey .citizen at present is to get his lass a-ope on the "oveana" and put his brancLonii "Oveana" is the name given "by stockmen to an orphan calf that is not braitided, which there was an unusually large number this sea son, and, it is needless to say that there were a great many who wanted to adopt them. Doctor Anderson, the genial host of the Stein Mountain House, had a ludicrous mishap befall him day be fore yesterday. A party of emigrants .en route to Montana, camped at his place on that day, and they were so delighted with the scenery and the many kind attentions shown them by the proprietor that they concluded to lay over for a couple of days. One of the party, a buxom widow of forty, twitted the doctor on the LoneLy Life he was Leading and pictured to him the happiness that won !d ensue if he onLj had a wif e and a young famiiy growing up around him. She was enthusiastic in her raise of the choiee Location he had, saying, what a perfect Paradise for a woman to Live in ! The Doctor, thus encour aged, invited the widow to ride out with him to see his pLace, to which she ready assented. The pair took a seat in a Bain wagon behind "Tobe" and "Chub," a spirited and favorite team of his. After seeing everything ,of interest on the farm they were re turning home, but Doc, who was paying more attention to the fat wid .ow than to the horses, dropped one . of the Lines and the team started on a idead run for home. Turning the tcorner of a fence the wagon was up set and the pair spiLLed on the grass, but tortunateLy no one was injured in the Least, The Doctor, however, was in no humor for any more flirta tion, and the wIiolo party, widow xmd aLL, puLLed out next morning.

All through the country one meets with tired, care-worn women who let m to hovo entirely lost health hope nd ambition. They are forced in tkt posi tion of drudges, and, too often, met with uo sympathy from their husbands, who sneer at tho idea of womau'i work being so burdeoeom when they rmeia ber their own laborious tasks. But sneering does not lessen the labor of the wives to whom kitchen, pantry, milk room, dining room, suggest drudg ery. The man bag a constant change of scene with all the excitement incident thereto. Ilo goes from breakfast to tho plow, the harrow, and the cmr.caot lv varying duties of the farm. His mals are prepared for him, and after supper he can enjoy his pipe in peace, his work, over for the day. But with bis wife it is different. Early in tho morning iho rises to kindle the fira: dress the chil dren, cook breakfast, wash the dishes, send the children to school, get the din ner. wash the dishes and if there is a moment to spare between dinner and supper, spend it in sewing get supper, wash the dishes, put the children to bed and if a tuoxtent more offers, tx sew, besides taking care of the morning and ev uing uiilk, churning and work-in"- butter, And a hundred things that must be done every day, in exactly tho same way and order. She has no time for pleasure. She does not attend any lodge or society mooting; she visit a neighbor but very seldom, "she's no huyj" she dnes not walk out after tea to meet a friend to drive away care by social convtrse; her duties vex her till bedtime, when anxious and careworn, it's loinx ere j-he. can sleep, or if she can the teething baby or the sick child de mands her care; and she may spend; hall the nisiht in quietiug it to be rous ed from a troubled sleep fcil ton soin to re-couimenco the weary routine. Is it anv wonder that fanner's wives m of'en le-ive. tho scene of the r than&Vs toil f r the insane aylum ?' The True Gentlemau, Any nro who wishes to may become a ir' ntleman Me will not form a habit of telling smutty or vu'gar s ones. He will hi: careiul not to off nd p r-on; will keep his face clemi. He will never lift his voice in asmall rmmi when talk-in"- to men as if he were in a tieid dri ini nxet. He will never 1 loud n.outhed or ov rheaiing to his inferiors. Uc wdl not speak so as to pain cr wound the heart of any peis-iu under him. II rt wi 1 nevur sp ak of Miper ior family con motion or give those whom he is wiih to uudets'aud that he is of more imporrat ce than they. He will nev.-r pry into the priv.i'u affairs of at. y other person or meddle himself with the affairs another person should attend t He will be above the petty suspicions born of ignorance, and proof of bad breeding. He will never try to bully or beat his way or assume a su penojty that it is entirely lost the mo ment it is boasted of. He is never ob sequiou?, but promp, polite; discreet, and courteous to all with all to whom he comes in contact. He will never quarrel with a servant or use profane language to any one. The gentleman, alw.ns has his friends evn under- ad vet se circumstances because he deserves them. The success of a'true gentleman, is alwajs lasting. "George, dear, don't you think ite rather extravagant of you to eat butter with that delicious jam 1" jSTo, love;, economical. Same piece of bread, does for both." No set of men in Oregon goes ass much on their race horses as does; the horsemen of Grant County. It is no trick at all to get up a race here for $300 a side for a 600 yarcl race or even a half mile. Come on,, boys, during the Eair. "Lots of fun, jbei" NOTICE.
