How wrathy she got At a lover who called when he should have passed by, Who took her out sleighing and upset her, too. Now ono eye is bind; and tho other is blue; Oh!

Church, of Wallowa, is out on business. S. L. Bootho made a raise lust week of a very large barn. Several fanners looking for hands and none to he found. Miss Katie Burke has been quite sick tho past few days. Dr. McDonald is in town to-day, and thinks of vo-locating here. li. M. Steele and wife are the guests of Mr. Charles Goodnough. C. W. Hamilton has moved from his mountain home to the valley prepara tory to begin harvesting. . Last week ended a three months school taught by Miss Dc Long at Cen ter valley, better remembered by tome as the Red Pepper school house. J. R. Kellogg while out hucklebor rying last week had quite a battle with a rattlesnake. At one period in tho light tho snake got J. R. down and seemed to havo decidedly the best' of it. The contest finally ended in Mr. Kellogg knocking .the snake out in the second round. The second ganio of baseball be tween Island city and Kirnmurvillo came oil' last Sunday and was wit nessed by a number of persons from La Grando and Union. The game was hotly contested on both bides, the score at the end of ninth inning being 0 to 8 in favor of Humnierville. The Island city boys will got there if the liniment holds out. K. I wish the captain would not tell boys to slide under that way; they will soil their now breeches. Ida. Say, L we can travel the same road, we'vo both lost our girls. P. Mc. That's what wo have. Let's commit suicide. L. C. A short timo ago a petty thief en tered tho residence of James Moss and stole a watch therefrom. About a week afterward tho watch was found in a feed trough at tho barn. It is supposed that tho thief after thorough ly testing the watch for better or worse brought it back. Be careful not to let Jim trade you that watch. Died. Of inembrano croup, on tho morning of July 2-lth, Joseph Ells worth Conley, youngest son of J. J, and Alice Conley. Tho child was about three years of age. It. was buried at tho Sterling graveyard, after services at tho Moss chupcl, on the 25th. It is needless to say that the young parents have tho sympathy of tho outiro com munity" in their boreavment.

Mncho icturncd from Pine Val ley, Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Johnson, of the Cove, were up on a visit Sunday. Thos. Gorman took his departure for Baker, the first of tho week. Mrs. S. F. Curick, of Clover nook; is visiting friends and relatives in Pylo canyon. All our good people took in tho cir cus, Friday, and icturned much better oil", intellectually. (Jay. Yowell is in our midst again. From reports some of Union's ' "tong lies" have been using (Jay. pretty rough. If hot weather has anything to do with bringing men to repentance1, all our peoplo will be thoroughly conver ted before this harvest is over. The terrestrial trinity, Czar Nicholas I, of Russia, Abraham Lincoln, of America, and Don Pedro of the Bra zilian Empire; see Wakefield's last sermon. The grain crops are drying up very fast, and it is feaivd tomo of them will bo too ripe befoie they e.in be cut. Such sultry weather has not been known for a long time. Pylo canyon Sunday school has been suspended during the hot times, har vest, and huckleberries Souls must bo saved, hut. still huckleberries must be gathered and so we gather them. Our "base ball cranks" have1 not made themselves known to the public yet. We are just polishing up a little, ami will send some of your brag clubs ii challenge before long. Telocaset has never failed in an unnertaking yet. What a pity it is wo have not got a store to indulge in some Harrison Cleveland hats. That is what people get for being behind in tho issues and orders of the day. If wo had rnslled around some time ago and had a store imported, wo could havo sported all the luxuries and delicacies of political fancy. It seems tha both political parties aro dividing and becoming confused over tho present issues. It is only a matter of time now, when it will bo nothing but strife and commotion in all political circle:, and democrat and republican will wholly disappear. It is gradually tending toward a change in the very near ftituie. Tho huckleberry patch is the com mon Held of strife. There, all men meet on Uncle Sam's dominion, and there all the little private animosities and differences are remorselessly brought up; no man is afraid of in fringing on his neighbor's rights, and it becomes a geneial buttle ground. Tho hatchet is dug up, the old sheop record is rehearsed, and tho bloody shirt is is waved over tho entire crowd without remorse. Friends sever tho ties of social union, and foes opon tho wounda of long gone scenes. "B. W. H." RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. Ham. ok Nokti: Powdbu Lodri:, No.) 88, I. 0. O. F. July 28,1888.

Xovtli Powder Notes. July HOth. 1SSS. Mr. J. 1). Wilcox, of Haines, was in town, Tuesday, on business. Mr. llarplnin, head sawyer at Van Ration's mill, has gone to Bellevuo, Idaho. A number of citizens of this place attended the circus at Union on Fri day last. Mr. Rodgcrs has gone to tho Cracker creek mines on a visit of inspection of a week or moie. Farm hands are a scarce commodity here. One hundred tramps could find employment at once. "Misfortunes never come singly," as P. J. King's cow was run over ai.d badly crippled by tho train last week. Mr. Matt Hughes and Geo. Beck return homo this week. Tho young men are woll pleased with their visit hen1. Mr. Van Patton, of Van Patlon's mill on Bulger Flat, was in town on Sunday. Mining is still in blast on the Flat. It is reported that the Indians aro killing large quantities of rsalmon on Anthony creek of late. None have made their appearance here, however. Tho Cleveland hat is a white high hat with a black band. Somo ono hero suggests mayhap after Novem ber next a black crape band extended to near the top will bo in order instead. Mr. F. F. Shaw, Robt. Shaw, Mrs. Shaw, Miss Mary Shaw, MNs Li Mine Richardson and Jack Richareson nitide up a party which left hero on Wednes day of last week for the mountains in quest of berries and game. Mr. Miller on Clover creek repot ts the crop of mosquito wings quite light the present season, but hopes to 11 11 his contract with Mr. Rothchild for several thousand for which he is lo receive from one-half to one cent each. Mr. Rothchild is in receipt of a new road cait of the latest improved pattern. Young ladies will please take notice that it is on (ho "single order" but like the hats sold by the gentleman it is self conforming also in case of an emergency. Mr John Travillion has stored, tho present season, upwards of 20,000 pounds of wool in the ware houses at Baker. He hauls to Baker instead of this placo on account of cheaper insurance, expecting to retain it until ii rise in the market occurs. Mr. John McPheoihas lately erected a new dwelling house on his farm near W. N. Scott's placo. When once he completes his irrigating ditch he ex pects lo make "the desert blossom as tho rose." A number of good farms in that vicinity only require water to make them valuable. Col. Morgan reports that his regi ment (the Urd, O. N. G.) will be duly armed and equipped and ready for any emergency within tho next 110 days at leant. "K" company hero and "H" company at La Grando will come in for their part of the appropriation and brass buttons will bo numerous era long in this vicinity. Messrs. Kellogg, Punch ifc Co. re ceived by train on Saturday last a new Fenuegin Turbine wheel of a capacity of (10 horse power to he placed at onco in their taw mill on Anthony creek. They oxjx-ct to commence sawing within ton days with an averago cut of 20,000 feet a day. Tho enterprise and business tact of tho above linn is com mendable and wo hope they will secure in return many bright shekels as a result of their business venture. dipt. Joe White and Mr. Rodgcrs, his fatlier-in-law, havo discovered a quartz ledgo on Anthony creek, speci mens of which, on assay, yield as high us $17 gold per ton hesides silver and copper. They will proceed at onco to develop tho mine by sinking a shaft. Tho specimens assayed were from tho out croppings above ground, Old miners aro of (ho opinion that tho mine will prove of value. Wo await with interest its future development. A general all round frco list fight occurred at Spencer, Ranisoy it HiiII'h saw mills Sunday evening among tho employees of tho mill and tho logging men, i fund having existed for some time.' After peace hud been about cotmmiittod one Hank Davis, a logger, upproohed Stove Dougherty with u club unobserved and felled him to the ground by u powerful blow on tho side of tho head. Ho was carried to the company hoarding house with blood oozing from his oars, and unconscious, Dr. Baylor was immediately sent for, who attended him. No fracture or ahruttou was found and unless infla niation should et in the young man will recover all light. Davis called at the company's ollU-e and drew his pay and left thy next morning.
