It is hard to believe that Grover
Cleveland is against expansion.
However, in his own person he
represents so much in that line
it is possible he is actuated by pro
fessional jealously. Chicago Post.
The Baker City Record has
been coming to our table the past
three wteks, but has been over
looked in a way. We are pleased
with its clean, businesslike ap
pearance and will gladly exchange,
wishing Messrs. Bowen & Gregg,
its publishers, the success their
efforts deserve.
The inhabitants of Pinar del
Rio, the province west of Havana,
Cuba, must feel as though the
United States is going to be and
has been its friend after the words
of General Davis, the commander
of that district, that, with their
assistance, and co-operation, he
would "turn the trochas and forts
into homes and the matchets into
implements of labors." . It is re
ported that fully one-half the
population have died off, or beeD
killed, in the past three years, and
this assurance comes none to soon.
Senator Morgan on December
12th called up his Nicaragua canal
bill, which now has exclusive right
of way in the senate until disposed
of. He says he will push it until
it is passed. There is no doubt of
its passage as soon as a vote is
reached. This bill makes this
government, Nicaragua, and Costa
Rica, the sole owners of the stock
of the Maritime Canal Company,
which holds a concession to build
the anal, a majority of the stock
to be held by this government,
which is to guarantee $100,000,000
in the bonds of the company, to
be UBed in the construction of the
canal, with the exoeption of $5,
000,000 to be paid to the present
stockholders of. the company, for
them for money they have already
spout on the canal. The president
alone will have authority to issue
those bonds, and he may suspend
their issue at any time he deems
it prmlout to do so. There is
elroug lobby in Washington work

A VISIT TO IONK.
Two Days Agrceabljr Bpeat ia tbe Thriving
Llttls City.
Saturday evening, aooompanied by tbe
family, we reached the town ol lone and
were tendered tbe hospitality of the
lone botel, under management of our
old time friends and associates, Mr. M.
XI. Hunter and estimable wife, who
have, daring tbeir short reigo, made
this hostlery an asylum of rest and re
onperation second to no other botel in
Eastern Oregon. The addition of its
southern iDg makes it oommodions,
while tbe thorough renovation and re
furnishing make it agreeable to tbe
most fastidious, and we found its every
available spaoe in demand. Tbe Sab
bath was quiet and enjoyably spent
under circumstanoes most agreeable and
interesting with a delegation of towns
people, professional and traveling gen
tlemen who appreciate the hospitality
of its manaKement.
We found the business conoeros of
the town rearranging stook at tbe con
clusion of a season of marked pros
perity, trusting to favorable conditions
for another prolific year, which means
for tbeni an Increase in population and
business booses which will plaos their
little town along the line of progress
and recognition as a leader in Eastern
Oregon. This season has encouraged
building and many new business build
ings have been created, which are all
tikeo.
xnis wees a. ai. ouuii launches a
newspaper, a branoh of tbe Heppoer
rimes, in tbe little city, wbiob tbe
oitizens herald with enthusiasm and
have pledged its support, feeling that a
newspaper is a necessary adjunot to a
thriving town. Another ambitious
newspaper man by tbe name of Oeo. S,
rarjeer, witn an eye to business, oomes
in on the heels of Mr. Sbutt and invites
tbe people of lone to give him an op
poriunuy 10 compete ror supremacy in
tbe journalistic field, and after submit
tiog his proposition a meeting of i
numoer or toe representative men was
called, and at the conclusion of a dig
oussioo they deoided that they had
already pledged their snpport to Mr.
Sbutt to the extent of tbeir ability, aad
in oooseqiienoe united in form of
resolution to give him tbeir undivided
support, wbioh naturally placed a
damper" on tbe enthusiasm of tbe com
petitor, as he felt that discrimination
bad bien drawn. However, upon a
personal oauV'tss of tbe town, explaining
the inducements for seleotion of that
Beld for tbe uewspaper venture in shape
of support, cast a different light upon
the subject, and while tbe business men
are not disposed to waiver in their
pledged support to Mr. Sbutt, they fel
that from a business standpoint Mr.
Parker is entitled to courtesy and a
chance to establish himself on bis merits
and b isiupss ability along the lines up
building tbe town. N)w it romikias to
i- l.iu . nt.a taitm win

paper man will win the oonQdeooe and
permanent support of looe's bumuess
community.
Uraud Master D Hernn, A. O. U. W.,
with whom we trained in "early days"
as a soh lolm ite, we found at the lone
hotnl and pasjed the time pleasantly
rehearsing tbe "tricks we used to pUy."

a lodge of twenty members, conferring
the degree of Prinoss of Oalephs, Tues

rilOM CANYON CITY.
The City Being Kebnilt and a Condition of
Comfort Apparent.
Attorney Phelps and Mr. Wm. Long returned
from Canyon City last Friday evening where
they went to arrange for the settlement of the
estate of John Lone as mentioned in last sue.
Mr. Phelps was appointed administrator for the
estate, a considerable portion of which is located
in Qrant county, while valuable property is
located In San Francisco and other parts of
California. Unfortunately the papers of the
deceased were consumed in the Canyon City
fire necessitating considerable trouble on the
part of Mr. Phelps to locate. Ue will leave
about the first of the year for California to
locate and look up titles of property there.
Both Mr. Phelps and Mr. Long were quite
enthusiastic In declaring Canyon City had the
most hospitable and cheerful class of people it
has been there fortune to meet. Rebuilding of
the city is going steadily ahead, and the people
seem to be well provided for and grateful for
the consideration of the outside world. The
frozen condition of the roads made their ride
a thrilling one, as the mountain grades were
covered with Ice, and the horses urged to the
top of their speed to keep clear of the coach at
times. The trip was made in twenty-seven
hours, and hey spoke highly of Mr. Miller's
efficient stage service.
A Mother's Devotion. '
Jas. It. Kinney who tins charge

of
of
canine devotion that unpens t) onr

grounds, threo milns distant, during 8
snow storm, the mothtr of live little
Scot oh coll iers, 17 dtys old, whs oom
pelled to leave them in th denerterl
camp to help in the drive. Tlmt niht
when the sheep had onieted down nnd
her responsibilities at nn end, she
burned to ber bnhies, bnt tme to hor
master she was at the sheep corral in
tbe early morning remaining during the
day and at nightfall wns back to the
little ones, finally at the lapse of the
eleventh day ber mnnter noticing her
absenoe, felt some nnmiHiuBS when a
little later be saw her approaching the
bouse osrrying one of her pups in her
month, having struggled the diHtanoe
of three miles that bitter cold morning
This touching illustration of motherly
devotion proved too mnoh for Mr
Kinney and the first part of tlmt day's
program was to hitch np the team, and
that night the poor old mother had
suug nest with ber six little loves clone
to the hearth in tbe old farm house.
