Small Business.
Yesterday a woman was arrested by
the United States marshal here, charged
with selling liquor without a license,
the particular charge being that ehe sold
drinks in her house, which were not
ordered from a saloon, but which she
retailed from a bottle or demijohn.
This may be all right, but it looks like a
small business for this great government
to be watching after the nickles while
letting the bits sugar trusts and the com
bination of bankers in Wall street pull
Uncle Samuel's leg to the tune of mil
lions at a time. The recent law passed
by congress concerning the sale of liquor
to Indians, is going to open up that
business again, to the profit of the offi
cers, and the disgust of all decent citi
zens. At the Stubling Greenhouse you will
find strong, well-rooted geraniums,
fuchsias, 'hile and yellow marguerites

"All the world loves n lover," says the
' poet, and if this be true, all the world
; must have gone mashed last night
1 had it been at the Umatilla Home
when the Portland train came in, for
; there was a love scene, unassisted by
surroundings and without shrubbery
i and balconies, that would make Juliet
j seem commonplace and Romeo tame.
There was a lavishness of expression, a
. warmth of greeting, a feivorof embrac
' ing, a clinging of lip to lip', a rapture of
' soul-drinking eyes, and a free-for-all
j six-day-go-as-you-please mixture of a
j hat full of flowers and a vest full of feel
! ing, moustache and smooth lips, en
i twining arms, and all that sort of thing,
i that made the wickedly, worldly smile
i audibly at the impromptu love scene.
! He had been waiting impatient as a
i caged coyote all day the coming of the
light of his life, and she had counted the
j telegraph poles and minutes as the train
bore her too slowly throught the Will
; amette valley from her home in tha: far
Southern Oregon up to this city of her
destiny where, her Prince Charming
awaited eo impatiently her coming.
As the train nulled iu he was there,
j and at the w indow was her face, sur-
mounted by a veritable flower garden
! peering anxiously forth. Before the
i train stopped he caught eight of that
J face and in a moment the smile that
1 irradiated her countenance showed that
j their eyes had met. She disappeared
! from the window ati'i iu another in
'' stant she was in his arms, thero was an
inarticulate series of gurgles, a Eound or
two like the last expiring exhaust of a
j bath tub and mingling wild these bounds
1 of bliss were words of endearment that
I were worth their weight in diamonds.
I e could not hear what she said, for
! her voice was stilled and only her eyes
and movements spoke. But lie wailed
forth, "And did you think I wouldn't bo
here to meet you, nol darn it?" Then
i came a kiES, a hug, unother kiss, more
j hugs, then some expiring strains of
, bliss, and then he broke forth again :
."And so you got my telegram. Gol
;durn it I couldn't wait until you got
i here." More kisses, more hugs, etc.
This was kept up for fully five minutes,
i until Glendening swung his lantern,
yelled break away and the train pulled
out. Then they, arm in arm, tought
the hospitable refuge of the Umatilla
' House, the curtain going up in the
; second act in the parlor, where another
i love scene was enacted.
! But why further lift tbo curtain on
this tender little episode, why tell of
how they embraced in the dining room
at breakfast time, and ate out of the
same dishes, why well why?

Some two years since a bill was intro
duced in the United States senate by the
late Senator Dolph, providing for the
establishment of a government assay

lnnst for some time past nothing has
been heard of it.
The Washington correspondent of the
Oregoniuu, under date of March 25th,
refers to the matter :n which Baker City
is greatly interested, as follows:
There are reasons why the bill intro
duced by Mr. Ellis for an assay ollice at
Baker Oity should pase. The develop
ment of mining interests it that country
makes it necessary. The treasury de
partment is willing to establish the office
if authority is granted.
Thus it will be seen that Congressman
Ellis docs not propose to let the inter
ests of Baker City bo overlooked and the
bill for an assay office lias been resur
rected and given life. In this endeavor
Mr. Ellis is certainly entitled to the
thanks of this community and if ho suc
ceeds in securing for Baker City her just
rights in this matter, and if an assay
office is established ln're one of the big
gest gold nuggets in Baker county will
be his. Baker Citv Democrat.

The Don Jaun mine, in the Greenhorn
district, is producing regular clean-ups
with the little three-stamp prospecting
mill. The ore going to the little mill
yields over $100 to the ton, all ol the ore
lower in gold than that being stowed
away in the slopes, waiting for it
larger mill. The main tunnel ia now
seventy feet in on the oro chute. The
ledge ia from three to seven feet wide,
with two feet of . 100 gold ore. This
mine was discovered about a ear ago.
Parties are on their way from the
East to complete the 'purchase of the
Tom I'aiiie mint, owned by Hyde, Back
wood d Madden. The Tom Balno liea
about fifteen miles west of this city, and
has been worked more or less for a num
ber of years. It is famous for the rich
specimen? of free gold it has produced at
times. The oro milled in a recent test
run yielded $30 per Ion in gold. Thero
are several hundred feet of tunnels on
the ledge, ami two ore chutes have been
uncovered that measure from 100 to over
200 feet in length.
William T. Ifanua, John I. Hanna
and Colonel James A. Panting have
bonded the Annahula and Clin" pros
pect, near the Flagstaff mine. The
claims are now discoveries, developed to
a depth of eighty feet.
The headquarters of, the Flagstaff"
company havo been moved from the
city to the mine.
A copper lode that promises well haa
been discovered in the Sanger district
by Mr. Gilkinson.
As soon us Superintendent Tulgreeii
returns from Chicugo he will set miners
at work on u new shaft on the Colum
bian lode. The shaft will be 500 feet
deep, and will supply the necessary
water for a mill.
The Ikieley-Elkhoni mill will start
up April 2d, as the damage done by the
recent snowslide has been repaired, The
ore bine are all full and a quantity of
ore has been stored in the mine during
the shut down,
