Grant Co. 'News. LOCAL BREVITIES. All kinds of Justice blanks for sale at this oflice, at Portland prices. Mrs. Emerson, sister of A. C improved Hereford cattle Before going prospecting call at the News oilice and supply yourself with location blanks, f Mrs. W. S. Evans, of Bridge port, Baker county, mother of the late Robt. Lockwood, arrived in town last week. W. F. Smith is expecting (.Jen. Buekner up from Nevada, on business affecting the mining in dustry in this vicinity. A. Sproul and wife took their departure last Friday for their home in Los Angeles county, Cal. They were accompanied as far as Baker by Geo. Sollinger and wife. A gentleman named (Jeer, who came to this camp with the first rush in '02 passed through this week on his way to Prineville. He is a mine owner of Baker county. A new town is springing up in the Cracker creek mining district Baker county, nearly every day. Among the prominent ones are Cleveland, Cracker City and Bourneville, The prisoners did not escape during (J ray's admistration, as intimated last week. He had taken the oath of office that day, but the books, etc., had not been turned over to him yet. The crop of wild hay in Bear valley is said to be very good in fact a great deal better than was anticipated in the early part of the summer. Cutting will be gin in two or three weeks. An eclipse of the moon has been advertised by the clerk of the weather, to come off next Sunday night. See entire programme in the yellow backed almanac. Re served seats for sale at this office. In the case of Slate vs Chas. Ferrel for battery, or assault or something of that kind, tried be fore Justice Cattanaeh at John Day, the jury failed to agree. One of the jurors was in favor of conviction, and "staid with it. Butz it Thomas will soon have their arrastra completed and at work crushing ore from the Fred Miller ledge. Rock from this ledge shows any amount of free gold, and indications are that Mr. Miller's ledge will develop into a valuable piece of property. Ben Beales, James Tigart and Geo. Miller have been arrested in Baker county for horse stealing. They stole the animals and hur riedtliein into California, but returned for a new band once too often. In default of .$1500 bail each, they have taken up their abode in the Baker county jail. A party of men have been camping in Silvies canyon lately, and we understand the settlers in the vicinity are watching them to prevent "stray horses" becom ing mixed up with their band. Grant county is a good field for horse thieves, provided they can ply their vocation without being caught. Sheriff Gray has posted notices about the jail warning persons noC to communicate with the ii : i i. prisoners on the inside, under 1 ' penalty of arrest and imprison- penalty ot arrest and imprison ment. A good move is that. If the prisoners have friends who wish to see them they will be ad mitted by the sheriff', instead of sjcaking through the windows. Rev. (Joss writes that he has changed his appointment some what from the notice found on the 4th page. Instead of being in this county on July 22nd and 29th he will preach at Prairie City and Canyon on the 29th, and on Aug. 5th at Canyon and Prairie. Also at Day vi lie, morning and evening on Wednesday, Aug. 1st. Thro of Piute Jim's tilakuir.s from Bums came into town last Monday to see how James was getting along. They are more civilized than Piutes were a few years ago, and one of them actu ally has on a boiled shirt. Mr. J. F. Mahan, who owns a ranch near the rendezvous of this tribe of aborigines informs us that they have made rapid strides toward Christianity since the last Indian war, and that the squaws who lendPiutc society never go with out the hoops and bustle. Happy Jack, who recently shot himself because his lady love ex tended to him the cold shoulder, has about recovered. His course was an altogether foolish and silly one.

The News thinks that a division should be made with those who were most instrumental in the capture of I the prisoners, rather than that ; two or three should carry oil all : the glory and money too.

LONG CREEK LYRICS. . A SCENE IN LONG QltEEK. Last Monday the proprietor of the Palace Saloon concluded to give the place a good scrubbing. The patrons of the place did not like waiting until theygot through so they just moved the card ta- bles into the middle of the street and commenced playing eribbage and 7-up. The barkeeper brought the drinks out when called for and collected his little change. When it is taken into considera tion that on that day the tlier mometer registered about (J0 in the shade it will be seen what hardships our sports will endure rather than sit around idle.

Nearly all our wool men have returned from their "Mecca," Ar lington. Hardly any of them, though, have sold their wool. Mr. Pry Wilson from Monu ment came to town the other day and sold his interest in the Mc Dowell hotel property to Mr. Gray. The case of State of Oregon vs Straight, for abduction, has been transferred from Hamilton to this precinct, and will be tried before Squire Branson to-morrow. There are some horse buyers in the town, but they want them at below bed rock prices. So far only one band has been sold to them from what I can learn, at $27 50 per head all around. The family of Mr. Win. Carter have been afflicted with the mumps. The eldest son was ta ken down with them while on his return from Arlington. Several other cases arc reported in the neighborhood. A rather green looking fellow came along claiming to be a ped dler of clothing patterns, and while showing some of his sam ples he kind of hinted about playing poker. Of cours' the boys were all in for it. for the thought they had a soft thing. The peddler made a clean sweep of the whole crowd, and the boys have gone to work to make a raise. If I were not sure that "Ed don't drink" I would have come to the conclusion that he wrote that tirade in the Eagle against your correspondent while under the influence of "Long Creek cider," but as he is strictly sober I suppose he partook of a little too mueh '1th of July cakes and pics, and they laid too heavy on liis weak stomach and gave him the nightmare. I suppose he loft sleep and felt irritated and had to vent his spleen on somebody, and as your correspondent is al.out as able as anybody to stand it. pitched into him. There has been more inquiry for the Xkws lately, and that may have helped to irritate the "proprietor of the Eagle." Now Ed, you are sar castic about my looks and dress. Well, we can't "all be Adoniouscs and travel on our good looks, nor are we all able to wear a l.iled" shirt every day. When I get rich I'll do the same as you do. I don't know of a single interest I have opposed. I gave my share toward the church and ofi'er more than my share toward a new school house. As far as truth and veracity is concerned I am willing to leave it to your own brother, liurt, to decide. Ask him what he says about your veracity. I know ou can blow more than I or any other man in Grant Co. can do, but I will agree with you it is harmless blowing. Now Mr. Editor, all joking and nonsense aside. I will give you as hereto fore a true story of the matter. I went to Mr. Woodall who is more interested than any other man in Long Creek celebrations, as he is interested in the hotel and saloon and asked him whether it was not about time to do something about the celebra tion. His answer was: I don't i 'link- we better eplebrnie thia 4th. The track is not finished, and it : 4.. i ,..,.11 11 I II IILLIT LU llil l 111 ttLIl ill I I tised. Others present coincided with him, and remarked that we would have a good time in Octo ber. Now I did commit the un pardonable sin and did not go to the want-to-be-great-I-ani Ed Al len and ask his advice or instruc tion, and I plead guilty. But I did not know Ed had a lot of fire crackers and f la its on the wav Which COllld not be disposed of i ii . ... unless there was a celebration, and I have iust an inklinc of an ano j nave juHu an nmuiij, ui an idea that this had something to do with Ins chagrin. As tar as I am concerned I pay no attention , , . . . to his vaporing, but in justiiica - tion of the News I notice it. REMARKABLE CURE OF DEAFNESS. Wiu.

Hearing of the wonder- i iui nucuvaa ui win: I'uillll, ui Portlaud, he went to them for treatment, and is to-day cured of this ver distressing iutir.i.itv. Mr. Allnow is an old and woll known resident of Grant county, and the success which these doc tors have made in his case speaks volumes in t' eir favor as practi tioners and .specialists. whose veracity we camut i!onb, tlmL -ms tures are touishing.

I had little faith that any thing could he done for me, but as 'a drowning man will cling to a straw," I concluded to do so. i In that coadition I came to Dr. Darin and to k h's new cure for imhf asONvi!il as ever in my life, and the noises in my iseau nave all pas.seii aw y.
