A Bible and a newspaper in every bouse, a good school in every dist rict, all studied and appreciated as they merit, are the principal support of virtue, moralitv and civil liberty. The tax levy in this county for the ensuing year is: County taxes 18 mills, to pay outstanding State war rants 3 mills, State tax 4 mills, School tax 3 mills. Total 28 mills The Sermon delivered by Rev. Wilcox on last Sunday evening was the most instructive and interesting that haB been preached in this city for many mouths. Go to hear him. Those hats, ribbons and vails at Miss Douthitt's are the rage now. Now is the time to visit the Warm Springs, at the upper end of this Valley, as huckleberries in that vi cinity are about ripe and then a few weeks at the Springs this time of the jear recruits a person up for the trials and vexations of winter. From a private source we learn that the reason that the opera house it Marysville has not been commenc ed yet is because the contractors in dulged too freely in water-melons of l&te. Counterfiting has finally got down io where it concerns us. Ten cent peices, bogus, are afloat. You can alays tell a clerk in a dry goods store from the millionaire proprietor by the good clothes the former wears. Two conundrums as follows were going the rounds last Monday: "Why is the man that said T. B. Merry received an overturning by the Canyon City buckboard like a traveler palled Gullivar?" Because neither one told the truth. "Which man ought to be indicted first The unprofessor that bucks at "the tiger", or the professor that has his machinery running full blast on the Sabbath while he is at the communion table ?" There i a inor- al to the above and is easily answ'rd. It has been rumored about town that Major Magone has perfected ar- rangeinents with Mr. Williamson to convey as speedily as possible to I a place of safety the Hon. F. C. Sels and the Hon. John Wolfinger or any J other unfortunate Night who may decide that every woman that rides for the Premium isn't entitled to the blue ribbon, and may the Lord have mercy on their souls should they be overtaken. Circuit Court sets in this city next Monday. We hope that every man in ' attendance will add at least one more name to the subscription list of the News. Remember it gives you more colums of reading matter, of a great er variety and at the same time ask your mind if any paper in Eastern Oregon gives the telegraphic news as does your county paper. Only $3. D. Deitz and John Miller have a snug home about ten miles up this creek which they are fencing in now. Mr. D. informed us that he was go ing to build a bath, house at the Warm Sulnur Sorinfirs. When that is done their place will be quite a resort as fishing and hunting is good thereabouts and then only six miles above is plenty of free soda water. . . Neal Hall js building a wagon road from his ranch on Canyon creek to this place and has quite a distance already completed. We rather sus pect that Neal is going to have a toll road by and by through to Bear Val ley. There's money in it. Mr. Ed. Buckley and wife will in a few weeks move to their ranch up Canyon creek where they will estab lish a dairy. It is a nice place and nothing will pay Mr. B. better than butter making. We want every man, woman and child in the county to send us the news of their neighborhood. It is the way to bring vou section into notoriety and helps the county also. . Bonx. To the wife of Joe. Oliver, near this city on Sept. 13th, 1S80, a son. Mother and son doing well and Joe is as happy as a Lord. Mr. Holeman and Mr. Brackett, of the pasteboard fraternitj', took their departure for Baker City last Thursday. Mrs. Brackett also went. Let every man, woman and chi d that really loves Grant County and desires to make it their home bring something to the Fair and do what they consistently can to make the first Fair an honor to the County and to all concerned, .- Jack Woolsey while out on a trip several days since, informs s that the mines at Susanville, Olive, Gran ite and other places that he visited while out were paying well. He al so says that some of the finest graz ing land in Oregon may be found On Elk Creek. Clay Todhunter is out in the hills hunting huckleberries. Some say he is going to locate a ranch while out, get married and start a diary farm. Mr. W. F. Moffitt called on us last Wednesday. He says there are a few renegade Idians to be seen once in a while near the Reservation. Mr. Lord, of Portland, Judge Whitten,' of The Dalles, and Sam. Parrish, of the Monumental, are in the city. Let all that "trip the light fantas tic' ' attend the Ball next Friday eve. From Oar Travellsf Correspondent. Clarke's Creek, Baker Co., Oregon, August 28, 1880. ) Editor News: Thinking perhapa a cominuication rom this section might be of interest to your readers I will give you a ahort sketch of our rambles. We left Canyon ' ity on July 24th, went to Bear Yalley where we wero entertained bv the Mosauito iamiiv who appeared extremly glad . wel(Jom) ug From Bfiar Yallev I we weafc to SUviM yaUgy wbere w'e j fouud a gfeat many fine fat catUe ' aud. ia striking contrast the akele- j tons of hundreds which died of star vation oaly a few months before. The next place of importance is Ft. Harney which we found in a very ! lonesome condition with appearances very much approaching a thing of the past From Harney wo take a trip across the valley and up SeWies River where we found the stockmen busily engaged in removing their stoct across the river from the Res ervation ;still farther up the river we found a most beautiful stock range with no stock whatever upon it, and a paradise for sportsmen as game of all kins is very abundant, also some of the finest trout in Oregon in the streams. From there we returned down the river to our wagon, which we had to leave at the head of Har ney Valley, hitched up and went across to the southern part of the Valley in the vicinity of Malheur and Harney Lakes where we saw thousands of head of finjft cattle and an abundance of good feed. The flies and mosquitoes are very troble- some to stock there during the months of July and August. Ducks, Geese, Swawn &c. swarm in these lakes, while sage-hens and Jackass rabbits are numerous in the prairies. From "The Lakes" we went back across the Valley past Camp Harney on the road to the Agency, which I will here mention is one of the most outrageously rough roads in Oregon, we arrived at the Agency in due time and find the men busily engag ed in harvesting some two hundred acres of very fine grain; we alsj nc ticjd several gardens of splendid vegetables, all of which will in due time, I suppose, be issued to "The Pets" who have not contributed a single days labor toward producing it. From the Agency we proceeded, on some more bad road, to Bully Creek where we left the Reservation and again found a great many cattle and some fine range, although water is very scarce. From Bully creek the road is excellent over to Willow creek. The mining towns of Ame lia, Malheur and Eldorado are all on the above creek and mining is going on at the two former places but the last named is entirely dead. From Malheur City we took the Baker City road, which by the way is a very good one, aud crossed the ridge to Clark's Creek, on Burnt river which has at oue time been a thriv ing Camp and which has a bright outlook fur the future, as the main creek has never been worked at all, the mining having been confined to the hills. It is at present entirely owned by Buckland & Virtue. L. S. D. "We are credibly informed that quite a number of ladies are daily practicing that healthful and com mendable exercise of riding on horse back. Wonder if the Fair has any thinjr to do with it ? Work on our new court house is not progressing very rapidly. Dr. Boley 's laughing gas is becom ing very popular He extracts teeth without pain. "I alwavs take mv Dandelion Bit- ters about an hour before meals; Dyspepsia donM trouble me. We received a very pleasant call last Thursday from Mrs. Maxcy,Mrs. McDowell and Mrs. Jarrell, all of John Day. Dr. Horsley is able to be up and around again. CLARENDON HOTEL, Portland, Ok book.
