Garretson, an expe rienced watchmaker, has permanent iy located in this city and may be found at Mrs. Turk's Store. Mr. G. was recommended tp us at The Dallesj as a thorough workman, and as we have some of his work in our posses sion we. can say that he, understands his business. He only asks that the people give hiin the work to' do and if it is not done satisfactorily! he will charge nothing. He can work gold into rings, pins or fix any thing you may desire on short notice. Now as' we have a first-class workman in the county let the work be given to him. Considerable interest is being ex ersized by the' people in regard to the First Annual Pair of this county which will commence on the 13th of October and coutiuue three davs. It is hoped that horsemen of the ad joining counties will come with all ! their fast stock, a Grant County is anxious to beat them. We would like to see Rosa S., Hamlet, Queen and other flyers of like kind come oter aud got a square toed race. Father James Shepherd is in a precarious condition again, and is gradually failing. ; He. is not ex pected to survive 'very long. Y. B. Democrat. ' Died. At Blpomfield, Iowa, on Monday, Aug. 23d, 1880, Mrs. Eliz abeth Peeves, wife dt A. S. Peeves. Thus has,doparted the last sister of the editor of this paper. She goes to the unseen future to rest with our dear mother aud five loving sisters, who have 'jone be fore. In passing Mr. D. N. Luce's last Sunday he brought out a bucket of fine eating ajiples and treated the company He has plenty more and sells them for only one dollar per bushel. Cheaper than ever before. Circuit Court will convene in this city on one week from next Monday .and people that have the habit of try ing to have Some oiie indicted by the Grand Jury, without a cause, should remember that as a general rule it costs the county hundreds, of dollars. Some people seem to know other people's business better than they do their own. Comment is unnec essary as talk is cheap. fVc now furnish more columns of reading' matter tham any paper in Oregon. And still we live in spite 01 the predictions of some knowing, ? people. The Masonic Hall has received a painting from the hands of Sam. Sired and as usual writh Sam's work the hall looks "nifty." ? We noticed Mr, F. Fleglolete and Sam. Ffeneh, of Prairie City, in the county seat last Monday. The Ball at John Day last Mon day evening was a yery enjoyable af iair.

To give a full description of Port land one. would necessarily have to spend many .-weeks there, hence I pass it quickly by saying that ;it is a sea-port town of about 20,000" inhab itants and a lively business city wjth many magnificent buildings aijd als large stores. -I visited the large wholesale Furniture house of Shind ler & Chadbourne, and was first tak en through the sale-room where car pets, tables, suits, and in fact, every thing in the house furnishing line is kept, and from there we ' go up to the room above where is to be found outfits for any kind of a residence or hotel, in the rear of this room is an other one filled with upholstered fur niture of the finest make, to right' of this is another filled with outnts for posts, offices' and schools, then to the rear is found ware-rooms and af ter one goes through the entire es tablishment cthey can't but agree with others that it is a complete in stitution. I also visited the Drug ' house of Hodge, Davis & Oo.,. bnt.it is no use to try to tell of their store as it is a very large house, three or four stories, packed, .crammed' and jammed withgppds, the most notic-, able being "Kidney Tea." Next is Wm. Beck & Son, where is-found a sportsman's paradise. They have a stock of goods in their line that.is. unequalled on the north pacific coast. In fire-arms they offer great induce ments. At the Jewelry store of J. Yan Beurden is to be found rich and costly Jewelry,"and when airy of the citizens of Eastern Oregon desire to purchase the pure thing in the way of rings, chains, watches or dia monds Van's is place. I think that a person can spend more pleasant weeks in Portland than anv city of its size I have ever visited. Everv thing is presented that will amuse a visitor from a Hancock or Garfield Club down to a.Chinese Theater. By the bv I was in the city on the night of the opening of the Theatre and as I passed the. building at least' "300 Chinese were congregated 011 the street corners and apparently alb "jabbering" at once, in addition to the racket on the strdet the" most in fernal hub-bub I ever heard was go ing on up stairs. All this . right in the business part of the city; -guess the Council don't call itanuisance though, some people would however. The next day I took a runup tp Albaiiy'and upoujmy arrival there was met atrtbedppot'",by Caj)t. P. C, Harper who kindly invited me to ac company him home which I did, and a pleasant visit I had with him and his family. The following -morning I took a walk with Capt. Harper to the Democrat office but Gen. Brown was not in. Mr. Stewart, was engi neering the paper. Mr. Col. Yan Cleve, of the Kegister, formerly of this vicinity, has a splendid office and is doing well. Albany is a bea tiful town but it "ain't as it used to was," on what account I cannot say, although this yen.i the farmers of Linn county have had good crops and the county seat may again re vive and. help the business men out. The O. & C. P. 11. Co. have built a splendid hotel at the depot which is run in good order. It was there I met a friend of my boyhood days, Gus. Barker, who is baggage agent for the company. The garden of the Willamette "Valley seems to be Linn county yet the life and trade seems to be some place else. As Yarinie Smith was absent form home, and it was he that L most desired to see, I cut my stay' short and started for Portland on the noon train. I was somewat surprised to see so much timber as is in that Yalley. From Albany to Portland are many little towns yet the only one that can be noticed as prominent is Salem,which is quite a city, perhaps from the fact that it is the Capitol of Oregon, and also to its beautiful location. Su preme Court had just adjourned and Col. N. H. Gates, having had a case . befdi'e" said court, infoiined me that he was vpry much pleased with the new Judges. On arriving lit" Port- land and' having one day more t!o spend I visit .many places of interest to me, arid a portion 'with profit to 1!he News, as' will be seen by refer , ing the advertisement therein, in ad . dition to the acls received quite a list of subscribers were secured.- Anion the old- patrons I f ound' Capt. Fer guson who saicl that he still held) to Canjton City as his Mountain home. Saturday morning I boarded the P, G. Peed but as" an extromfy . dense fog had arisen the boat could only float down the river,' and you, may be sure it was tedious. At the Cas cades a change is made to the P. P. Thompson, a, boat more after the stvle of the Wide West. At The Dalles another day' is spent arid I then, board a stage for home. Mr. Pearc'e is the driver tinU explains all the scenery to the traveler. The Des .ChutesjiiU, five miles long, ithe Falls, the John Day Grade, where the breaking of -a tug or a- careless J 'driver. might sen'd the stage and pas 'seiigers hundreds pf feet to the mer' 'below, are all - passed, over on his: .drive. At Bake Oven 5M. Fitz Ger iald takes the ribbo' as '.and . sqon we tire at Mr. Sclienekan's who is one of mostjiospilablemen in Oreg'oiii But.wQ now hastily pass oi and take passage with J. Weddel,' and on his drive we pass the Balmoral Hills and many other grand sights. At'Emile Schutz's we get the best meal on the whole route. Peirce is -the next and last driver and I tell von it was a sleepy drive for me. Well when one rides a distance of 200 miles on a stage they naturally feeh sleepy enough to nod a little, but then I won't tell on myself, suffice to say I seldom go to sleep riding beside a ladty, especially a widow, yet spme one says I was so inclined that morn--ing about 4 o'clock.
