GRANT COUNTY SEWS.
On tlie 4th of September, the News
Trill be enlarged to a 40 column pa
per and we wish to inform our citi
zens that it cannot live on "wirid, but
must have support, and, therefore
every man, woman and old bachelor
in this county should subscribe for
it. It gives you all the local news.
Tells where you can buy and sell to
advantage. Chronicles your births.
Rejoices when you are married, and
weeps over you in death. It is a
weekly exponent of your personal
and public interests. A It not only
goes into nearly every home in the
County, but it goos weekly into near
ly every state in the Union, and Eu
rope, and tells of our beautiful coun
try. No other paper in the whole
country does these things for you.
Any kind of produce is the same as
money to us, so that you need not
say you have no money to spare. A
cord of wood, a half dozen chickens,
three dollars worth of butter, eggs,
potatoes, gold dust, wheat, flour,
meal, meat or anything else that a
white man can use will pay for your
home paper for one year. If you
want to buy or sell anything it will
cost but a few dollars to put a card
to that effect in the News for four
weeks then the people will know it.
In the job line we can furnish any
thing at reasonable prices and get
jour job out for you sooner than any
-paper in Grant County or Eastern
(Oregon. Remember that you will
;got more reading matter than you
rever got before for the money. It
:spea!lfs well for your County to hava
,a large ipaper and you should aid
the,ent6garise.
Iteniembor jfc will be no patent out
ride, but wnUie rich, rare and racy.
Jit will, cost vpu less than G cents
a
vweek to pay 4f or it. An old hen wil
nake money enotugh for you to pay
;for the News. J)oa?.'t wait for our
-.return to subscribe., Ibut call in anc
-jrun up a;list offewilifiindred while
we are gone.
SVCe h&v0,lAboreilrhArdsfor the last
H8 months -anil now, we axe iroud to
say that we are the only :raan that
eQi carried a paper through the cri
:sis in this County And .now iatend
ito establish the largest weekly pa
mper in Oregon, in this city, and all
wq ask i the continued support of
the citizenp of Grant County. We
know what we can do and arevwjiilido
jt if it is all for glory.
ON, THE WING.
IThe'Jalles, Oon., Aug. 10,1880..
Well, fhere I am at the new Uina-
UlaHovKtt and although the roads
vwre (lusty .and dry, I must say thatit
(was a p;e&8&m nae.
On last Thursday we put our belov-
red family aboard the stage of The
jKalles Line sjid raw them safely land
ted t the .home .ef Mr. Wm. Luce,
.whejce t&ey will spend a few days, or
wk. .Wirth Tom Urawford as
.di&ver., we proceeded oniour journey,
.and passed the night pleasantly with
itum, arriving at Rattlesnake for
ibjjes&fftst. The above station is the
firstjpjace that we strike that is own
ed nH fully operated by the com
pany. In passing over the road we
noticed namy places that are sadly in
need of the attention of the road com
pany .or the County and in one place,
in particular, jit does nee touch work
The Road Company should either fix
the grade near Belshaw's or let some
other person have the opportunity to
do oo. Bet we will apeak in the fu
ture of the condition of t&e roads and
in fact, rather "go for The Dalles
Military Road Co.
At Rattlesnake, Mr, Weddel
"mounts the box" and we proceed to
iraveL At E. Schtz's the horses are
changed and the journey continued.
A few miles this side, the Supt , Mr,
Williamson, met the stage and, upon
an invitation from him, your servant
(?) took a seat in his Concord vehiclo
and had a very pleasant ride. At
Mitchell all took dinner, and a view
of a hard looking location, for a
t(pwn. We were informed that it did
not deceive its looks. At Bridge
Creek the pleasant faces of Mr. and
Mrs. Peffer met the writer, and we
must say that they have a line, beau
tiful ranch. Arriving at Mr. Saltz
man's for supper, we did justice to
the meal and bid good-night to the
Superintendent At Bridge Creek
Mrs. Gage was way billed, and at An
telope a young man by the name of
banii. JLtobmsou. was added to th
load of passengers. Long will all
remember that night's ride The dust
was immedse and the night was cold
but for all, we each avowed the next
morning that the night had been joy
ous, owing largely to the exertions of
Ir It. to keep the load awake. He
Iiab been travelling for the last six
years through India Sandwich Is
lands and other places and is a jolly
boy to have on the road. At Mr.
Scheneckans all took refreshments
and a rest Bake Oven is the next
home station and Mr. Tom leaves
the stage and Mr Pearce takes charge
and the ride is resumed; three
changes of horses are made between
there and The Dalles and good time
is made.
The Dadles
We find to be a lively cit', and the
Umatilla House a first class Hotel
and, perhaps the finest House this
side of San Francisco, Cal., and in
justice to Messrs Handley & Sinnot,
we must "my that nothing is left un
done that will please the guests. It
is a hard finished house and every
convenience conceivable is placed
therein. "We have just arisen from
one of the best nights' sleep and the
finest bed we have ever slept in on
this coast As much as we have
heard about the Stage line we expect
ed a hard ride, but to our pleasure,
we must say that we have enjoyed no
ride on a Stage Line on this Slope as
we did the one from Canyon City to
The Dalles. We hope the people
that think the Line is a rough one
will just take our word that it is
much more pleasant to ride on one
of their Stages than on the Stages
from Kelton to Baker City. Our
time is up rnd wo will have to send
this as a substitute, for this issue.

1880.
Editor News: As you
SO
kindly
took notico of my last letter, I thought
you would not object to hear from this
little obscure place SuiithJaud, again.
Now for a description of this ono great'
city oftbo west:
Smithland is beautifully situated
on the west bank f the Sioux River.
Oue cannot see the town until thoy
get almost into the heart, as there is
such magoiGcaut groves following the
winding course of the ever sparkling
river. Smithland consists of three
storos also one druz store, one hard-
ware store, two blacksmith shops, two
very nice churchos, Methodist and Ad
vents, two Hotels, one of which bears
the honored title of "Iowa House,"
which I am now writing ia. The mest
convenient part about the make up of

merchants is an Advent. So Smith

rbe .School Maixms will be here, and
where (they are there is life. It is nor
mal time nnd many a teaeher's heart is
beat'Dg in dreaded anticipation of what
is to eowc after the two weeks normal.
Some say a.t will bring on a rain lor so

city, for the first lime, I think, since
the creation, of lime.
As there w a, fmuine in Ireland part

will be a famine in Western Iowa if it
does not rain. If tie w.ind Would pay

it had had a heavy frost on it. Unless
it rains within one week there will be
acres and acres of corn that will make

trust it will receive some attention

way a Somali kisses a tobacco
chewer: "There is a prelimin
ary shudder, and then she
shuts her teeth hard, holds her
breath and makes a little pigeon
dip at the foul lips of the grin

horror, flies to the kitchen,
where, if you follow her, you
will find her disinfecting with
soap and water."
