Mr. Frank Bidwell while going down
to tho mill a few evenings since ran
into a barbed wiro fence which he
could not seo in tho darkness, and had
his face very much lacerated, but tho
wounds will" heal in a few days. Frank's
countenance now resembles a map of
n South . Sea island with Canibal
camps looming up in the foreground
.and a series of cactus plains and va re
lated wooded hills rising in tho dis
Uuicc. The appropriation of $100 by tho
citizens of Union and !?200 by the
county court for the construction of a
wagon road from Hog valley to this
city is being judiciously expended and
the result will bo a passably good thor
oughfare. Mr. Nelson Schoonover
with a forco of men has been working
on tho road and it will be completed
before many days. This will put the
settlements of Wolf, Clover, Jinimie
and Anthony creeks in direct commu
nication with tho county seat and
make this their trading point. It is a
road that has long been needed.

Soinelhing over a month past, says
the Baker City Beveille, tho pulpit of
the M. E. church in this city has not
been occupied by its rogular appointed
pastor, known to the lambs ot his Hock
as Bev. J. M. Baughn. By many it
was supposed that tho reverend gentle
man's absence was duo to conference
proceedings requiring his attendance
while his statement, previous to his
own departure, that his wife had
been called to tho bedside of a dying
brother in tho east explained the ab
sence of his good lady. It now trans
pires that this expounder of truths
divino one evening met a gontlo
man, a resident of this city, who
had known him back east in other
days and who cordially greeted him by
a name that Bev. Haughn had forgot
ton to bring out west with the rest of
his baggage. This unexpected meet
ing so perplexed our worthy pastor
that ho left his supper cooking on tho
stove at the partonago, locked up tho
doors anil as ho iiad no timo left
to hunt up a custodian for tho keys
left them in tho parsonage door, and as
he has not been hoard of siuco it may
reasonably bo inferred that ho has an
swered "a call" from somewhere clso.
Tho woman who po;od as his wife
while hero was a widow, whose hus
band died of consumption, eleven years
ago, at tho house of ono Bov. Bowers
in tho state of Kansas. Shortly uftor
her husband's death alio and Bowers,
whoso wife and two children still reside
in Kansas, eloped together and during
all these years have boon unhwird of
in their former homo until thoy lurnod
up its laborers in that part of tho
Lord's vinuvard known as "Baker City.

Throughout the state generally attention
is being called by the county school super
intendents "to the fact that the exehango
of readers closes on tho evening of October
.'list." .Such is the announcement .sent
forth; hut according to the nj'reemeut by
A. S. Iiarncs it Oo., publishers of the read
ers, tlio exchange will not close until tho
superintendents of the various counties
are satisfied that all have availed thenl
solves of thu exchange terms who so desire.
Tho language of the Harm's Co. on (lie
with tho superintendents is as follows:
'"Introductory and exchange rates will be
continued in force long enough to permit
each and every school In tho state to bo
supplied to tho satisfaction of tho county
school superintendents.'' As there is noth
ing in this that says tlio exchange shall
close on the !Jlit Inst., and as the superin
tendents have not as vet decided that they
aroHiitisllod to have thu exchange close at
that time, it is likely the exchange will not
close as pei sell 'dule arranged by and at
tht convenience of the publisher.--. Pro
vided tho terms of the contract, as tiled
with tho superintendents, are complied
with, the terms of tho exchange will not bo
in the past tense until the count)'' school
superintendents of the state decide that,
on the part of tho patrons of the schools,
thoy are satinlled. Jacksonville Tillies.
