The selection of o Ulcers proved to be well made, and good selections have been made since, so that the county affairs have been ex ecuted In a creditable and satisfactory man ner. The county court has becu composed of careful and competent men who havo m im aged the finances in such a manner as to keep the comity free from debt and the rate of taxation low, Gilliam county Is sttuato and bounded ns follows: On the north by the Columbia river, on the west by the John Day river, ou the south by the John Day river and Graut county, and on the cast by Morrow county. It contains about 1,612 square miles, and has an avcrnge width of about 25 miles and In length is about ri miles.

Ar lington has a good system of water works, which miirht well be imitated bv larcer towns, and since the completion of ramu has felt comparatively safe from lire. From sad ex perience It has felt the need of such protection heretofore. With the Columbia river open to navigation Arlington would be one of the best towns in the country.

The first camp was at the cattle corral near the forks of Deep creek. Messrs. Bridges, Barnard, Mahlon, Hall, I'erin, Meiwer, Rose, Stewart, Turple and others wore represented in person or by agents in the ride. The principal object of the round up is to gather horses for breeding purose8 and also for breaking. Stock has fattened this spring faster than usual. Some attribute this to the fact that the buffalo-grass is taking the place of the bunchgrass in places where the latter has been overstocked or fed too closely by sheep. This buffalo-grass matures earlier than the bunchgrass, and has run up to seed some time ago. It is said to be a better early grass than the bunchgrass, but it dries out sooner, and does not compare favorably with the bunchgrass for fall and winter feed. Prosperity and Poverty.
