Tho city council of Baker City has ontored
into u contract with a company to put in a

tho approval of a number of the heaviest

and tha monthly revenue is much smulier
than the expenditure. From all appear
ances the city Is fust Hearing bankruptcy,

Queer Procoedlnss.
Considerable ill feeling exists among a
number at the manor in which the case
was conducted against tho four young men
arrested a few days ago for their deviltry
at Telocaset and tiring their pistols into
spvrtml 1tntif unil .AtHnir nne mi fir tn
pvh, canyon tost Kridav night. Complaint
; .., bv r Yoweii ami warrant
! sworn out in Justice Blakeslee s court for
sworn out injustice Blakeslee s court for
their arrest. The sheriff, after two days
hard work and at an exjtense of nearly
$200 to himself and county, succeeded ill
bringing them in. They were all placed
under bonds to appear for trial on Monday.
Most of them were placed m Jail, being un
able to turnish the necessary bonds. On
Monday, however, it seoms they were all
ordered to be turned loose, no trial being
held. We understand there were several
witnosses here to testify against them.
While we do not pretend to say that tho
men could have been convicted of any
crime or that they were guilty, yet this is a
funny way of conducting business. If
such business is allowed to be carried on
the county will rind itself engaged in a
damage suit one of these days. You can
not arrest every man and place him in jail
without giving him a trial. These young
men should have demanded a trial, and If
not guilty, let it be proven so. Somebody
should surely be responsible for the costs
in this matter.
Children's Day;
A large crowd was in attendance at the
Prosbytorian church Sunday evening and
wero highly entertained by the many songs
and recitations rendered by the children
and the excellent choir of that church. It
was Children's Day and the exorcises wero
mostly devoted to them. The superintend
ent and teachers of the Sunday school do
servo much praise for the manner in which
they had trained the children for this occa
sion. They all did well considering their
aiics, and the recitations of some of the
smaller ones, scarcely old enough to talk,
wero especially pleasing to the audience.
The church was decorated in line style with
overgrcons. Ilowori and a number of birds.
The biftldiiig was well illuminated by elec
tric lights and presented a very bright and
cheerful appearance.
Milton's Enterprise.
The town of Milton is working hard for a
woolen mill there and it is now stated that
a gentleman is on tho way from the cast
who proposer to take hold of tho enterprise
provided the citizens there subscribe $25,
000 in stock which It seems has about been
secured. This should bo a reminder to our.
citizens that we must wake up and see that
such an industry is established here. Mat
ters have abijitt assumed a definite shape,
and all that is now required is a littlo push
and energy. Will our citizens get in and
do their part, or will they stand idly by
and seo other towns secure the field aiid
prosper by their enterprise and push? Wo
can and ought to have a woolen mill.

"Auld Lang Syne."
Irfist night in drenms I visited
The donr old home again,
And wandered for awhile amid
Tho forest and the glen.
Tho quirrels played among the ilowtrs
And trees of leafy June;
The wild birds, from the shady bowers.
Send forth a cherry tune.
The yard in front the cottage door
Seemed like a little en.
But flowers as fragrant as before
Were blossoming again.
1 traversed all the many fields,
The scenes of early toil,
Where each succeeding harvost ylohls
The product f tho soil.
Oh woodsiele I all thy Iwaitty eling
Around my memory 1
Each message of thy welfare brings
Much happiness to ine.
The old stone church beside tho wood
I visited once more;
There in the little pulpit stood
The preacher, as of yore.
His once brown locks wore snowy whito;
His form was somewhat bent;
He preached, with his accustomed light,
Glad tidings that were sent.
Brothers and Sisters, all around,
With love and friendship greet;
But some familiar forms 1 found
Were missing from their seat.
Around tho yard my way I wend
Mid graves with tlowors dressed,
Where many dear departed frionds
Are laid away to rest.
At length a change seemed passing o'er
These visions of the night,
And scenes of the Atlantic shore
Passed slowly out of sight.
"Lu.va Tick."

Despair.
Written for
My soul is groping in the dark;
Midst surging waves my found'ring bark
Is driftimr on
Toward a rough, tempestuous shore.
With shoals beneath and rocks before,
Witli rudder gone.
My anchor has no steady stay;
My conipas, that should guide my way,
Is broken now.
licforo mo looms the rocky reef ;
I know of naught to give relief,
Or mercy show.
The waves that lash the sounding shore
Seem ready now to Hood mo o'er
In watery grave.
The thunder's peal and lightning's Hash,
With wind, around my bark now clash,
And none to save.
The serf now dashes high and (loreo,
And chilling blasts my vitals pierce
Willi cold intense;
But yet a littlo further on
1 strike my mortal powers aro gone,
Bereft of sense.
