NEWS NOTES,
La
Grande AVill Celebrate
the Fourth.
THE SEVEN DEVILS RAILROAD.
Two Victims of a Practical Joko New
Patent lee Cream Freezer
To Portland.
La Grando is making preparations for a
grand celebration the coming Fourth. As
we have not heard of any other town in
the valley that is making any preparations
for a celebration, there will no doubt bo a
largo crowd in attendance. The committee
having in charge the management of the
affair are maklmc preparations for a grand
time. Hon. J. N. Dolph will deliver tho
oration. A grand ball will be given at
night under the auspices of the tire compa
ny and there will bo a good display of tire
works. A good programme has been ar
ranged for amusements during tho day,
including races, "plugs" and many other
things too numerous to mention, of which
due notice will be given in the largo ad to
appear next weok. La Grande is also mak
ing preparations to entertain tho Pioneors
of Union county, who will meet there on
June 25th. A good time is promised all
who attend these meetings.
It Is understood that Messrs. Fulton it
Bates will soon return from Salt Lake and
immediately put a largo force of men at
work grading their road to tho Seven Dev
ils. These gentlemen surely merit a great
deal of credit for the manner in which they
hayo pushed their enterprise. They have,
considering the many dlllicultics under
which they labored, accomplished as much
as could be expected of any one. Their
attitude towards tho people of Payettoand
ylcmity has been gentlemanly and honora
ble throughout. Wc believe the result of
pushing the Seattle, Boise it Salt Lake rail
way to the Seven Devils will show their
sagacity and good judgment in undertaking
tho enterprise. Considering tho vast
amount of ore already waiting to bo hauled
from those famous mines, and other prod
ucts of tile country through which the road
passes awaiting transportation facilities, it
is quite certain the road will provo a profit
able investment from tho start. Payette

We supposed there was not a person
living but what had heard of tho "snipe"
trick or had been a victim to this simple
means of amusement, but it seems
the boys found another victim ono night
last week and "worked him" to perfection,
it is said the fellow held the sack with good
graco and with all earnestness until about
midnight when some ono took pity on him
and went out after bun with a team, when
he was found still at his "post of duty."
This trick, however, is no comparison to
tho ono that was played on one of our
young men, a would-be disciple of Black
stone, on the following evening, it seems
a lot of the boys had devised a "new way''
by which a large number of fish might bo
caught. They procured a lot of gum boots,
a lantern aud board with an auger hole iu
it. The victim was instructed to hold tho
board in tlio water with the augor hole
above and the lantern behind, while the
rest of tho crowd were to go up the creek
and drive the fish down, when they would
see the light through the hole aud jump
through into a sack prepared for tho occa
sion. The young man held the board for
a long time, but became imnatient waiting
for tho boys who had ieturned homo and
wore cither fast asleep or laughing at tho
poor fellow standing in the water waiting
for them to return with droyo of fish. It
is safe to say neither of these young men
will be ciught iu a like manner again, and
the lesson taught them will bo worth con
sidurablo to them during their future life.

Important Session
Jjasl, Week.
Held
DISTRIBUTION OF ROAD FUND.
The Court Houso to bo Improved Addi
tional Cells to the Jail Brldgos
to bo Built.
Tho commissioners' court was in
session a fow days last week und trans
acted a large amount of business, as
follows :
In tho matter of distribution of road
fund; it appearing to the court, that
there is if 1,227.95 in the roml fund
nftor the former distribution, and that
there is $1,15)0.00 of the common fund
tluo to the road fund for road noil
taxes collected, making $2,117.1)5
which is now collectable for distribu
tion, und it. appearing also that thero
aro taxes uncollected which would
increase the fund to over $1,500.00
and that tho s-aino will bo collected,
and it appearing neeessimy to innko
all tho road fund available at once for
use on the roads, it was ordered that
$2,1S2.()5 bo transferred for that pur
pose from the common fund and that
the remainder of the uncollected road
fund bo turned into the common fund
as fast as collected. Thereforo tho road
fund distribution among tho road dis
tricts was made us follows:
No. 1, $ 50.00 No. 21, $ 50.00
" 2, 50.00 25, 150.00
" '3, 50.00 " 20, 50.00

" 22, 50.00 " -12, 50.00
" 23, 100.00 " 41, 200.00
ft will bo noticed that iu tho fore
going distribution somo of tho districts
tiro not niontioned. Tho court was of
the opinion that tho forinor distribu
tion of $100 for each district would
probably cover all that those districts
wero entitled to, but realizing tho im
possibility of making an equitable
distribution on the knowledgo which
tho court had, it thought best to rc
servo a portion of tho fund undistrib
uted at present in order to correct any
inequalities and do justice to all the
districts as soon as tho court could
lind out what is needed. Thereforo
$1,050.00 was reserved for this purpose
In tho matter of warrant for collect
ion of delinquent taxes; court ordered
that tho warrant on tho delinquent
tax roll ho 11111(10 returnable on Sopt.
1,1891,80 us to givo tho sherid' timo
to advertise and sell all property on
which taxes havo not been paid.
In the matter of improvement of
courthouse; the court decided not to
build any extension, but to re-roof und
repair present building. Contract let
to S. L. Hunter to cement and sand
finish tho outside and repair all places
whoro plastoring is broken on insido,
for $725.00, Contract lot to Chits. C.
Codinborry for putting on cedar shin
gle roof, new cornice and repairing tho
windows und interior wood work, in
cluding two jury rooms, for $821.35.
In tho matter of ferry licenwo on
Snake river; continued for term.
In tho matter of resignation of 1j. C.
Marley; resignation accepted and (J.
i Dunn appointed.
In tho matter of resignation of .1. 15.
Alderman; continued for term.
In tho matter of sheriff's return of
delinquent school list for district No,
5; Hhorifi' ordered to turn over all
