Enrrou Srorr: Please allow me space in your paper for si brief descrip tion of this beautiful place The Cove. It is situated just beneath the gold and jewel decked queen of the granite mountain, Mount. Fanny, whose history renders tame the tales of the Arabian Nights, and makes all Tables and fairy sloiies seem almost commonplace. Probably many gorgeous legend and romance have found full icsili.atinn here. The wildest- dreams of oriental pools and lomaneers, the weird resplen dent creations of magi and genei readi ly become living facts, among our mir ieal wiought crag and canyons. The stibliniest glories of the Alps, or the picturesque savagery of the Tyrol or the softer beauties of ICillarney and Xaples, dwindle into insignificance by comparison with the stupendous scones that meet the gaze at every turn, when on some towering summit. Vast peaks whose crowns of everlasting snow and ice glitter in the sunlight far above where stoi ni and torrents war. Clianns so profound that their yawn ing depth scum glimpses of the fath omless caverns where phitnnian shad ows walk. Cataracts whose crystal dis solve to snowy foam and spray long be fore they strike the. rocky basins below. Here you lind a realm of giant crags and fathomless abysses, whirlpools and eddies a hind of cloud wreathed heights and awful depths, rocks aud tumbling stream and living spray, where rainbows cast their' glittering coronet around the mountains queen ly brow, and radiant irinrs dailee in ninny a romantic gorge. Hero wo find a fairyland whore elves and gnome might sport ami make their home. Here certainly is the tourist' paradise a land for sight-seors and lovers of nature in her stibliniest and lovliost moods. I lot. springs that possess many medicinal virtues tiro found in nearly a score of place along the base of the mountains. Streams of water, pure as over Mowed from the distilleries of Hu skies ripplo aud tumble through the canyons and furnish water power for the beautiful little city below. United with all the advantages of scenery and weather, wo have also the best educa tional system in Eastern Oregon. As cension School (ti boarding school for girls) oilers superior advantages to young ladies desiring toobtaina polish ed education. The school is establish ed on a firm basis, having an endow ment fund of .$20,000. Leighton Ac ademy vies with any institution of learning for young men wishing to pur sue a literary or business career. Cove, also, supports a lino public school, which ranks second to none, and is continually sending forth her future statesmen. To eastern seekers for a home wo would say conio to the Cove, or Grande Konde valley, where snow capped peaks are over in sight, where every breath is full of vigor, whuro the eye and heart in ay feast on all that is most sublime in mountain or valley, cateract.crag or canyon, and whore nature from her trango lahratoric pour forth her wondrous healing floods that need no angels pinion to stir them in order to give them potency for the relief of hu man woe. Hero may you dwell on lake or mountain side, in the fertile valley, or the beautiful plain, in a laud of meadows aud frnit trees, or fields of golden grain under your feet a carpet of flowers, and above you the bluest of heavens resting it arch on the walls of the surrounding mountains.

The now lound house with its stalls for twelve locomotives, is now receiv ing its tar and gravel roof. Wo still have'ii few cases of measels in town, but they are not serious, and all the patients are improving. Itev. Shields passed through hero Wednesday, on his way home from the Presbytery which recently met in Union. We learn that quite a valuable horse was accidentally killed the lirst of the week by impalement, while jumping n fence. Mr. Moon, engineer of the O.

The O. 11. it X. has never before dono so much business since it become u rond as it has been doing the past mouth.

Wo are to have preaching every Sun day in the new Presbyterian church, where Kov. Canny litis just been ap . pointed pastor. ' Mr. Anson has inaugurated a vystcm ' of lire protection and irrigating, by erecting a fine wind pump upon his residence property. Preachers grow a little lazy as well j as the lest of us when warm weather i comes. We saw one of them using: i powder to split his wood. i Mr. Hloeh, of the old town, is ex pecting in a few days to begin moving his house down to the second ward. He says he cannot thrive on cold din- i nor. Our popular freight conductor, I Ericksou, has given up his position on the rotul and will now give hi entiro attention to his mercantile etdahlihlr i incut. Higginson it Hogers have the finest I sign in town, hut I)r. Houan says the 1 painter knows no more about the har mony of colors than the people of 1 Pompeii. Mrs. Xellie Hughes, teacher in tho intermediate department of our city I school, has resigned her position and j we understand that Mrs. Watson, of i the Union school has boon' secured to ; take her place. Our P. M. has introduced a now arrangement in post-ollicu a flairs by having the J. P. collect his box dues, but he says ho cannot afTord to luivo box rent deducted from his commiss ion unless ho gets the rent. On TucHday morning while Georgo Wells was riding u frisky cayuse, it bucked him oil' in such u way us to break two of the metacarpal bones in his left hand, which will give him a rest for a while. Several of our citizens are already talking about going to the country to spend the summer. Among the num ber is the family of Mr. fsiiodgniss, who will soon tako up their abode in the beautiful suburb of Oro Dell. IC. F.
