La (irande offers to give a block of ground to any one who will build a hotel there. Hut at the same time they want it understood that they are not offering sub sidies to anybody. The Union Fourth of July committee lack of having enough to defray the expenses incurred on that day, and a subscription paper is being circulated to make up the deiiciency. Hob Hurdcttc says God wasted mud when he made the man who is so little as to have the postmaster return a newspaper marked "refused," when he owes two or three year's subscript ion. A Portland engineer has patented an ap paratus for preventing suffocation by smoke. It lias been satisfactorily tested by several fire departments and will no doubt bring the inventor a fortune. A Walla Walla man, while getting shaved recently, noticed through the looking glass that his horse was trying to break away, and he Jumped forward with a jerk, when the barber came yory near cutting his nose oil". A land-owner in Uakcr City has adver tised for weeks to give whole block of land away, and he has not succeeded yet. Still the real estate agents up there persist in saying that "Baker City dirt is in de-mami."-K. O. The romains of two children of Hon. J. L. Morrow, buried in the old La Grande cemetery twenty years ugo, wore disinterred last week and taken to lleppncr where other members of Mr. Morrow's family have been buried.

Tho La Grande "key holo'' is not Milllclcntly small to keep people from getting out occasionally. Next year It will not be necessary for stockmen in Grande Rondo yalley to drive 75 miles in order to reach a white man's railroad. Robt. Shaw had a large Durham bull valued at $250 killed by a railroad train last AVedncsdny. The bull was standing closo to the track when tho train ap proached and instead of getting frightened at the shrill wWstlc of the locomotive, it made him angry and he walked upon the track, bowed his neck and waited tho on slaught. It came, ami there was not enough of that bull left to make a small sized yearling. A good many cases of nasal gloet arc re ported amoug tho horses throughout the state. In the Jury settlement, near Salem, thoro are four eases, in Gorvals there is one and in another ectiou two canes are reported.

Tho Presbyterians have iu contcmpla Hon the location of a school in Eastern Ore gon, as sulll clout aid has been .secured for erecting the buildings.

KtHToit Seorx: The editor of the Republican is ovldently very much opposed to bicycles, and bicycle riding in general, as is evinced by the fol lowing effusion which appeared in the col umns of the journal for which he manipu lates the shears and paste brush and guides the Fabor, more frequently the former, however: Tho bicycle riders generally observe the ordinance prohibiting them from riding their wheels on the sidewalk. One or two of them, of the "smart aleck'' variety, with the expectation of aggravating someone, run their wheels along the crosswalks just niis-iing the sidewalk sutllcieut to prevent them being pulled. It might ho a good thing to enforce the state law against these particular ones whose brains are located mighty near to the saddle when they are on their bicycles. It is a law of human nature ihat ono cannot see his own faults and deficiencies as well as another, butwhen a body of sev en or eight meet and unanimously agree as regards the character of any certain individual, such conclusion inusw be put down as possessing somo weiuht and bear ing a semblance of truth. lie says that one or two of us are "smart alccks," which is simply as lie sees us, bur wc say that ho Is one of tho purest typo of smart Alecks that ever infested (Sod's green earth, be sides possessing a sullleieiiey of gall and inquisitivonoss to adequately supply about one dozen ordinary men, and we will guar antee that till will then have a surplusage. Since reading his uncalled-for thrust at us we havo carefully perused tho ordinance, recently passed by tho council, and we see nothing in it that says we shall not ride on the crosswalks. .Should the citizens desire us to keep oil tho crosswalks, lot them pe tition tho council to pass mi ordinance to that effect, and this unsophisticated editor may rest assured that wc will abide by the law. We arc not the unruly, law-breaking class that Middletou would have the ?ico:Ie think us to be.
