Twenty-five tickets were sold to par ties here, on Saturday, bound for the circus at Baker. B. Neflf and J. Hardin left on Satur day on a prospecting tour of a week in the Blue mountains. Messrs. Gorham it Rothehilds have sold and are now busy loading two car loads of oats for Portland market. Mrs. W. M. Wisdom, who has been visiting at Baker, and Miss Giacie Saylor, on a visit here, relumed to their homes in Portland on Monday's train. Steve Daugharty, foreman at the saw mills, who was injured by a blow on the head in the fracas a week ago, is now out of danger. Ilia assailant lias skipped the country. Mr. John Stoddard, of the Stoddard saw mills, was in town Saturday, lie recently returned from Hood rivei where he has milling interests. Ho is suffering from the results of a. fall received during his stay at Hood river. Mr. Stove Daugharty, foreman at the mills, was in town yesterday and swore outiv warrant of arrest forllank Davis, his assailant, for assault with a dangerous weapon. Davis is supposed to be in the neighborhood of Muddy and the constable will go out this morning to arrest him. j Mr. Will Charnes, a pedagogue of j Clover creek, left on the east bound I passenger, on Thursday, for Terra Haute, Indiana. Mr. Charnes will j visit Missouri during his absence, and should he find a location, will remain there. If not, ho will return home in the course of two months. Mrs. Geo. Dolan, residing on lower Clover creek, being awakened by a noise in her chicken house the other night, went out without a light to as certain the cause. The marauder was a bpeciman of the skunk family who proceeded to make war at once, biting the lady several times on the hand and arm ere he was laid out. Her wounds ire quite painful and swollen, with symptoms of constitutional disturb ance. On Sunday afternoon when the west bound passenger train with two en gines attached had passed Huntington a few miles, Jack Carson, an engineer, astempted to pass forward to the en- j gine in front when by some mishap j he lost his footing, causing him to fall I from the train, and alighting on his head, broke his neck. Life was extinct when the train men reached him. Mr. Carson was an old timer on the road, being one of the most experi enced employees of tho company. His remains were taken to La Grande for burial. "Come down from oil' the mountain height, for love i of t. valley." So sang a youth as he descended from the shady banks of Little Indian creek, tu the moie favorable looking agricultu ral district of Grande Rondo Valley. That morning his mother had insisted on his diluting the sediment deposited on his noble countenance with the unadulterated ale of Father Adam, be fore partaking of the morning meal, in a way not consistent with with this youngster's idea of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Recognizing dis cretion as the better part of valor, this outrage was quietly submit ted to. Rut the straw that finally nlavcd the vow deuce with the spinal column of tho hump-backed animal, was being com-1 pulled to extract the lacteal lluid from j the family bovine. Gathering his j much hoarded wealth of 2 cents to- gethorho eluded tin- igilant eye of, his maternal ancestor and wo find him i in search of climes nioio congenial to 1 his lofty nature. As he trudged along j he mused over the uncertainties at ton- i ding the mortal career of an uufortif J nate junior member of the bovine I family, who, after withstanding the) rigor of our most iuejomeiit evrtev". i" ' gauierou unto n futhfr's, when vernal pastures scarcely have appeared, lie traveled tho dusty roads and looked in vain for !ho cheering sight of a water melon patch or a tree of ripe apples. As the sun crossed the meridian line he reached the pleasant little village of the Cove. Being hungry and weary a part of his wealth was spent for chewing gum, and as he loafed about tho cherry streets, one pocket filled with gum and i uiiiiimliug on another quid, he thought of the renowned phil- uMjpner wno, froineilung like a centurv before had gnawed upon a bakeis' loaf of bread while wandering through tiie busy thoroughfares of the fraternal city. Time traveled on apace, as also did this waynnird piv digal, until "the shades of night were falling fast," one of these misi-els struck our hero to tho earth and dragged him 'neath the friendly shelter of a stack of haw Mm- ring the night he heard a stealthy step, and wondered if the rod men' weio again at war, and pondered on tho pos sibilities of getting his hair raised although if the facts were known it had already risen. Upon a near ap proach tho martial bearing of his wor thy dad was recognized. The latter chap carrcssed him with a strap, and spake unto him, saying, "dust thou art, to dust thou shalt return," and the boy dusted.

A project is under way, and contri butions taken up, to open out a road via Gardner's mill to the Cracker creek mines about twenty-live miles distant. This road will be about fif teen miles shorter than the Raker route and over a less mountainous country, being an easy grado most all of the way. When completed a stago line will be put on by parties here who expect to make tho round trip in ono day. Already a largo amount has been subscribed by all our business men and farmers. Quito an activo in terest is manifested by our citizens and wc opine work will be commenced ero Ion, and pushed to completion. The advantages arising directly and indi rectly by opening up this thoroughfare to the public are manifold to this sec tion of tho country and should leceivo the support of all. Tho farmer as well as tho business man is benefited and should contribute to the enterprise so far as his resources will justify. Ajax. A WARNING. The modes of death's approach are various, and statistics show conclusive ly that moro people die from diseases of the throat and lungs than any other. It is probable that everyone without exception, receives vast numbers of tubercle germs into tho system and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation in tho throat and if allowed to continue their ravages they extend to the lungs producing con sumption and to the head, causing ca tarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed to proceed will in time cause death. At the onset you must act with promptness; allowing a cold to go wiwioui attention is dangerous and may lose you your life. Ah koon its you feel that something is wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils, obtain u bottle of BoHcheo'fe German Svrun. It will give you immediate relief. EAGLE COOPER SHOP, paid finely, but S.

Yes the sheepman is buidening the fanner with vexation by herding to his very door and still crying like the devil for more ptotect ion, and claims the laboring man must bo protected. There is almost inoxhaustibk) range back in tbo mountains, without a hoof of stock to bother, and still the bands of sheep aro clustered close to tho fence corners and door yards. They are not driven to range at all, but lan guish on the barren hills and hcatod dill's close to the home of some hard working farmer. Is this the class of beasts tho farm ers are going to bestow nrotootinn m- on? Is this the kind of men that need protection? Do the sheep owners comprise tho entire population of America? No! And gentlemen, if you please, the honest minded farmer is not going to assist in tearing down his own "wee fortune." The honest farmer is not going to have tho indus try that corrupts and injures the civil world, predominate live under tho protection of the government. There are more honest republican farmers, who will yytc UijiJijt the jiro teotion of wool than there arc demo crat sheep owners, and this fall will prove the fact. There are more hon est republicans in the republic, who regard the welfare of the farmer and the farmers interests, than dishonest democrats who fight for their personal interest and the interest of their sheep.

Scout: Whether a man professes Democra cy, Republicanism, Liberalism or Mug wumpisin, it is certain beyond a rea sonable doubt that he does not possess a degien of party zoal and prejudice unit win make mm vote for the con tinuation of a cuto and damage to his own vital interest. It is certain that a man of tho small est amount of brains will not aid in perpotualing a curse and injury to his private welfare. i r ii a man owns a smau tarm.aml is comfortably situated, miiinortiinr his I family and accumulating a little nron urijr cousuiniiy, u. is a soit-ovidcnt fact to any rational mind that that man will not sacrifice his opening prospects, aim unioidsng lortunes, only to satisfy uie corrupt, (ictiire ot a political party. Why a man had just as well cut his thioat, and bo called a suicido, as to let his party swmdlo him out of an honest living, and bo called a fool I Still, this is what tho republican party piopo,o to do. It offers a proposi tion to its constituents whereby sheep shall he protected and at tho samo time the solfUh and crumped sheep owner is endeavoring to starve tho very man to death by eating the range from around his door, of whom ho is asking aid. Tho sheep man points his linger in, ins nrouifi-in-poiiticB and ays: "We need protection and you, us a republican, aro bound to aid in securing protoclion for us sheop own er, for tho sheep owner is the back bone of your welfare; tho sheep owner supports you; the sheop owner fur niahe you and and your littlo chil dren with clothing," and nil such boh, but ho says to himsolf.

Fniroit Scout: For some months past the corres pondent to Tu K Scout and other pa pers has taken upon himself to tell the public how ignorant this community is, and to circulato and credit to others reports that got their start in his own camp. "Outndor," as he signs him self, is very much disgruntled over the way things went on at the Fourth of July celebration. How an outsider should be so wise is moro than wo can see, and his own language, coupled with other things we know of, catches him in a falsehood from the start. Your correspondent modestly in forms tho public that they were to all the expense of the celebration. This is not strictly true. The expense and trouble of the two crowds were borno by each. The band had some postors struck and posted up over the coun try, and outside, of that they were to no more expense than were the others. Their good nature was in no way im posed upon. Tho onnosition. as "Out sider" calls thu citizens of Ibo vnllnv hail the same right there as the band had, and to represent it otherwise is to tell an untruth, and no ono knows it better than the writer of that piece. The only reports circulated that were detrimental to the success of tho cele bration was a story started by a mem ber of the brass band, that there would be ti small fee charged for nil tho grounds and also for dinner, tho proceeds to be used by the band, and at the same time tho dinner was to be furnished by tho people who attended. Wlion those sages of our vallov found they had started an elephant in tho way of theso two reports, they being at no loss for lies, proceeded to'v lay theso same stories at other people's; doors. If there is anything too mean or low for some of that crowd to do wo would like to know what it is. Wo cannot see why ''Outsider" is obliged to livo in a community where he has to shud der on account of tho ignorance of tho people. Tho use of such language shows tho sense of "Outsider" and proves that as wo judge so shall wo bo judged. Let us ask you a question : Did you not agreo to mention in tho posters that there would be a photo graph gallery on tho ground, and when tho bills camo and it was left out did you not then agree to correct it, and did not you fail to do oven that? There was a danco at Mr. Moody's at night, hut it was not gotten up as "Outsider" charges it was. Thoro were some who would not attend tho other dance, and they gathered as Mr. Moody,s and ho let them dance at his house, and a very cnjoytiblo time wo had, Wo spent tho most of tho night in dancing and not in studying up stuff to write for publication in regard to how smart wo were and how ignor ant aro our neighbors. "Outsider," have you not learned that "Where ig norance is bliss 'tis follv to ba wis?" Tho band has not been discouraged and has hud u fair show.
