This month closes our spring
term. Every punil passing in the
higher grade, none averaging be
low 85 per cent. During our six
month's school we have had a suc
cessful entertainment, the proceeds
of which enabled us to rent an or
gan for the whole term. The last
day, Saturday, the pupils and
patrons gave the teacher a surprise
picnic dinner which was greatly
enjoyed by all, and she can say
that a more pleasant neighborhood
to teach in will not be found in
the county. ,

He has replaced the pinion gears
with heavier ones, and the press

A rich pocket of ore hasten struck

sand dollars are said to have been
taken out in large nuggets the past
few days. When questioned con-

is the biggest strike that has been
made there for a long time.
There is a school district in
Wallowa county which has only
nine legal voters, four male and
lour female persons of school age,
and at the last term of school
tacght there was an average atten
dance of three. The school build
ing is counted as worth $15, and
the furniture valued at $5. Can
any other county beat this?
Stockmen say 3 and 4-year-old
cattle, fit for feeding for beef next
winter are very scarce in Lane
county. During the last two
seasons a large number of young
cattle have been bought and sent
to bunch-grass ranges.
While dressing chickens last Sat
urday Al. Emerson, i f Ileppner,
found two gold nuggets in the craw
of one chicken, one of which was
almost as large as the little finger
nail. The chickens were raised on
branch of water near Hardman.
" It is reported that a number of
bogus dollars, of 1879 date, are be

They are a good imitation of the
genuine coin, but considerably
lacking in weight, and the milling

Uncle Sam's dollar factories.
Byron 'Barnard has bought up
all the cattle that he can find for
sale around Fossil, and left Wed

informed 1000 head can be bought.
During the past 10 days he has had
men buying for him in Grant and

get 3000 in all, which he will ship
to Montana from Arlington and
