Its Future Prospects Bright Eve y body Hopeful. During last week tne editor of the News had occasion to visit Baker City, which place as pre dicted by some, will be the fu ture metropolis of Eastern Ore gon. Although the business men complain of dull times at pres ent, all have hopes for the future, and we are inclined to the be lief that another year will wit ness great changes in Baker City. I he capitalists are showing great enterprise in building up their town, aim me mines inouiary to the place have no small influence in the permanent and steady im provement of the place. Another industry that will give employment to a lurge number ofunen. and teams, is the ship ment of lumber. Parties have a ' contract to ship several million of j feet to eastern cities within the 1 next four years, and besides a number of mills in the vicinity two new ones will shortly be placed in position in the belt of j timber near Britten's station, on ! the Canyon road. Politics are beginning to ''loom J up" in Baker county to an alarm ing degree. Everybody wants to be Sheriff or will at least accept j the nomination anil serve the i dear people it it is loreeu upon ' . them. The woods are full N i . i 1 uemoeratie ennumaies ior me oflice.

News: I suppose you thought I hail forgotten to report the mining news of this burg, but I was waiting for the develop ment of some new strikes, to l e certain that my statements are correct. The Keystoxk Co., are still at work on the Wide West mine, taking out rich ore. and Mr. Patrick Daley has haul ed 100 tons of ore to the Key stone mill, and over 100 tons still remains on the dump. The Ixgeksoli. Mixe, which was struck by George Bently and Mr. Tucker, is the richest mine in the camp, and ' shows plenty of coarse gold, and . there have been some very nice specimens taken out. The vein is situated on the Cougar hill, runs in a Southeast direction and varies from twoinches to a foot in ; width. They have out seven I tons of rock on the dump. ' The adjoining claim on the j South was located by Mr. Bab- j cock, Mr. Blinn, Sr.. and Joseph Kesler. , They have not done much work yet, but the rock is very rich, as it is the same as the Ingersoll mine. 1 will wait un til I write again, and then I will tell more, as work will soon be started again on this lode. Mr. M M. I'almer is in the camp from John Day, looking after his quartz inteffest. Mr. Joseph Kesler is representing his j mine, known as the 1 lorence mine. The vein where Kesler struck it is six inches in width, and nrusnects in tree eom. 1 ins i mine adjoins on the North to the Gaukipi.p Mixe, owiudby O. C. Miller. This mine was leased to George Bent ly and Mr. Peter ' Tucker this last fall for six months. They took out six tons of ore and had to let it lay on account of the spring water, or suface water, run ning them out. They went pros pecting and made the rich strike. ,. . . . . ..ji. iJiJ"l? noiwi ls 1L Wasuixotox, , , T , , , , . owned by Joseph kesler. and has ft tuInc,-on u I,:, f,d in lenth.

The Editor of the Bunchgrass Blade Very Much on his Ear. Little Jerry Xunan, editor of the "Ihinehgrass Blade," (sissors blade), published at Lexington, , Morrow county, every Thursday, 1 is bothered with colic, and makes i wry faces at the Ghant Coi'.nty j News, and, further, in his half-printed-at-Portland-sheet, he re- ; fers to the editor of this paper as ! , "Asbury, the enterprising idiot. Thanks, Jerry, for tho compli i ment. Enterprise is commend able everywhere, and is never - than in the public- tiouofa newspaper, hence, if we are an idiot, please allow a com parison: Asbury is an idiot, and prints both sides of his paper himself. Jerry is a gentleman, and ge.ts half of his paper printed in Portland. Jerry says we steal editorials from his paper. Well, we shall not attempt a denial of the charge. In one sense we 1 have stolen from dear Jerry, hav- j ing 'clipped' from other exchanges, for the outsid pages of the News, j articles which had been "clip ped" and copied by the press many J times over, which article would turn up in Jerry's paper before the Xkws was issued, therefore Jerry would be led to believe that the articles were copied from his paper. Dear Jcrrv, we inav have t opio! some of your t vi-rhntini. w flowery edi- ithout ever . thinking to give you the credit for them, but we humblv beg your pardon, and have been sen- ouslv thinking about uisconunu- all our exchanges except yours, so that it will not escape our memory to give you the pro per (.r(Hiit wiUMlt,Vl.r :mv 0f vour . . r - editorials of burning elotiuence. which are to tie tountl even in the far Eastern papers, aie seen, floating around in this neck of the woods. i Vour picture its 'If, which per haps was taken by the "instan taneous process," shows you with your "blade" in one hand -and au exchange in the other, just in the act of writing one of your edito rials. Now own up, and don't deny it any more, Jeremiah. Come over and take a cigar with an EXTEUJ'Kisixo idiot, won't you? He Declines llarnev. Or., Feb. 1-lth, En. Gkaxt Co., News: 1 noticed in the last issue of the News that I had been placed on the list as a candidate for clerk on the Republican ticket, and was not much surprised, only tit being placed on a ticket that is a dead issue, or will be after the June election. Now if you will be kind enough to withdraw my name from the list and place that of J:imes F. Mahan instead, you will confer a great favor to the people of our little burg, as well as to myself. As to the rest of the ticket wcare well satisfied, and more than satisfied to see our ringleaders of tlrant county bring out the names of such strong and hearty candidates for the June election, as they did for Representative. We are satisfied that Scarface Charley will carry this part of the county. I must look around and see how lion. I'into Tom and F. Ross stand, and will let you know in time to make other changes if necessary. Yours Resp., R. J. Ivors. Notice.

Last Saturday night about j half past 9 o'clock a robber made his entrance into the stage ofiicc through a window, on plunder ' bent. i Mr. W. U. Clark, whose resi I dence is just across the street, heard a noise in the store, and, thinking that perhaps he had shut a dog up in the building, crossed the street to ascertain if such was the case, and while opening the door, saw some one leap through j the open window to the ground outside.

Griflith now occupies the house vacated by W. Jl. Kelly, who has moved into his own pio perl v. The parsonage that has always stood about half a mile out of town, is being moved to a spot near the church. Mr. Shelly, of Dayville, litis re cently purchased the house for merly occupied by Dr. l'ruden, of A. II. McCollutn consideration $800. I understand that the "John Day Qrchestra" will furnish the music for tho parly to be given at Prairie City tomorrow 1 Friday evening. For some time past Mr. A. Hachney has been quite sick, al though not able to be on duty in his store, we are pleased to hear that he is improving. After service last Sunday, seven persons were baptized by immer sion, in the John Day Itivcr below this place, and received as mem bers of the Advent sts church. That two mile race from (lanyon to John Day, indulged in by a Canyou-i e and a John Day-ite, came near ending disastcrously to the John Day-ite as he got in too big a hurry to see Joe aud tried to go faster than his horse. A number of the friends of W. II. Kelley and wife, gave them a pleasant sur- rise on Monday ev ening, it being the 15th anniver sary of their wedding. The even ing was enjoyed by all. They were the recipients of a number of crystal remembrances. Tho building occupied by Bung Gee for store room took fire on Tuesday night of last week. The roof was entirely consumed, and it was a miracle that the whole of Chiua town was not burned. Three barrels of China gin are reporied to have been used to quench the Haines.

Prairie City, Feb. Unh, Ma.
