Allan Porter will open the old saloon in a few days, where he can be found during the races. Sam and Dick Blackwell re turned to their homes in Idaho last Friday. Sam Miller accom panied them. Ed. Woodall. who has just re turned from Canyon, says Long Creek will not be oppressed by a dry spell soon. Two threshing machines are now running in this vicinity, and even they cannot turn out as much "chaff" as ihe one ginmill. Long Creek has dried up (and - I expect the taxpayers of (.rant count v are glad ot it). 1 Here is no water whatever in the creek.

Donaldson's herder got tired ot ! mutton, and went in wholesale on Delore pork to the tune of forty dollars. He had no idea hog came so high in the "land of pork" until the bill was presented at the muzzle of a Winchester. Mr. Editor, don't you ever fool with hogs, even if they tip over your "print shop ' and devour all your grub, if you get scot free yourself. McDonald, Alex Murray & Cos. trusted head book keeper and confidential secretary, after four years' service, reluctantly resign ed his position with the firm he so long and faithfully served, to engage in business on his own account. The know alls have it that he is going into the money , . . . 11 i loaning business in Silvies valley , and for the accommodation of his j patrons will issue certified : 1 "cheques" but the writers opin- , ion is that he will emigrate to i pastures new to recuperate his lost health. Jack Stewart bagged the $000 pot in the recent race, beating MacKav 3 inches. Tiie plucky Scot hit the ground lively to get i there, but he "got there all the ! ..m..5 !!
