LOCAL BREVITIES.
We have had nn inch or two of
snow for which let us bo propor
tionately thankful.
Hon. L. 15. Ison has gone to Cal
ifornia on a hrief trij) in the hope
of benefitting his health.
Mr. Woodall writes to the Lonr
Creek "Eagle that he is alxmt to
check all division hills in the Ieds
Jature. At the firemen's ball Thursday
evening numbers were sold, and
those attending the Iall seemed
glad they were present.
Nevada is thinking of organizing
C5 O ."3
a legal state lottery, arguing that
as long as Nevadians will gamble
the state might as well have some
good of it.
Miners in the vicinity of Cianite
seem hopeful notwithstanding the
prospects of a dry so:ison. If they
cannot work placer ground they
will prospect quartz.
Parties from Cranitc with whom
we have conversed are of the opin
ion that the coming summer will
witnasfi some important mining
deals in that portion of Grant coun
ty, as capitalists are becoming in
terested. If Fiank Howard, the conSict
who cut off his left hand to escape
manual labor, cannot lc made to
work othe.-wi-e, a tread mill is to
be constructed for his use which lie
will be required to tread twelve
hours a day to save his life.
The average salary paid male
teachers in this state in the year
lSSf) was 48.22, und in the year
1SSG was S1C.20, and of females it
was for 1885 56.96 and for the
yr 1886 it w;as $34.65, thus
showing that teachers' wages arc
declining.
If the city of Poitland expects
to impress eastern visitors favora
bly with heiself she must remove
her coolie population from the cen
ter of the citv. Chinatown is riidit
in the heait of this aspiring city,
and is a disgrace to its boasted civ
ili r.at ion.
Owing tD the sadden illness of
Judge- Fee and the departure of
J ud-,e Ison for California the term
of court which should have conven
ed at Union on Monday of last
week was adjourned until next reg
ulur term, but a special term may
le called.
The editor of the Nkws returned
home (luring the -week after a vaca
tion of two weeks. While absent
we made a tlyin jf trip to Portland,
but beheld nothing woithy of men
tion in the columns of the Newh,
except the unusually line weather
met on every hand.
The legislature has one duy
more to remain in session. As yet
they have done little else but "in
troduce bills," which in the aggre
gate numlier away up into the hun
dreds but hold! We do them an
injustice. The members of the
House did sit to have their pictures
taken cue afternoon.
There is headed this way. from
Cnlifornia, says the Salem Journal,' j
one of the most Iwre-faced swin- j See "ad" of Wright lros..
dlers of the age. He has in his j llaker City manufacturers of ci
overwat pocket a few bunches of ' gars. Nothing but the best of
lampwiyks, coloied a light bluihh j tobacco enters into their manu
tint. which he claims possess a t fact lire, and no diseased Chinese
chemical property that when nlac- , are employed. The Wright
ed in a coal
oil lump will cause a I Ilros. do their own work, and em
and keep the oil from ploy no traveling salesmen, there-
biillinnt liidit
consuuiing. He claims that with I
one of the wicks placed in the lamp i
ble oil will not burn out for six
months. He is a smooth oily
toninied talker and succeeds in dis
posing of a large number of the
wicks at twenty-live cents apiece.
He "could sell no more than six in
one house," according to instruc
tions from the comjHiny manufac
tuiing the wick-ed swindle. At
night, after the lamps are lighted,
the anxious housewife watches in
vain for the oil not to disappear in
the lump as of yore, but it is no
use, it burns out just as fast as ev
er and no better Ii-dit is given.
.1. 11. I'.owick one of the owners
of the Monumental mine registered
at the City hotel last week, paying
n living visit to the county scat.
After calling at this ollice and sub
scribing for the. News he mentioned
that work was leing pushed ahead
in good style under the manage
ment of Mr. Mitchell, and that a
camp of 'considerable, liveliness
would 1m: seen in that section of the
country during the coming season.
Tlie neighlKjring mines of Messrs.
Unlwll and Ike Klopp are showing
up Ix-tter than ever, and a sale of
the old Cleave! property would
most likely be elleeted to ISastcrn
capitalists during the next few
weeks. A postollicc has recently
been established and will lie known
as Elstow. This will not only le a
convenience but a great saving, as j
Cranite, nine milas distant has
- been tlie nearest ollice up to the
pro-sent time. As there are a num
Ixjr of families residing at the camp
a petition was forwarded to the
county school superintendent, who
has been pleased to divide the dis
trict, thus giving the children the
advantages enjoyed by their city
cousins. At no time during the
winter, he says, has the roads been
blocked with snow, the fall not ex
ceeding two feet in any place.
Placer mines therefore have but a
poor outlook.
