EDITOR JouRNAL:-This is the first time that
have undertaken to write communication
for long time, but seeing that you like to hear
from all parts of the county and get all the news
you can, will try my hand. Here we GO
paid visit to Junction City, last week, and
found that place greatly changed since saw it
last-about seven years ago. Everything looks
well there, and found great many old friends,
who greeted me kindly. AS soon as Louis Raab
got sight of me, he shook hands and says
" Mine Gott und Himmel, you have to take
drink nit me-" always was kind of bashful
but, nevertheless, took smile" Louis has
very nice store, which is filed to the top with
dry and wet goods, which he sells cheap. Co.
ing down street, beheld old Peter Verstegen,
druggist; he has everything in his line from
Hamburg tea to whisky and pills. Pete is jo-
vial fellow, and although times are a little dull
just now, he says he intends " to fight it out on
his line, if it takes all Summer" Going along,
noticed a new store-that of Kuper, Karsky &
Co. Knew Kuper long ago, when used to buy
beef from him. He always treated the boys
right, and has a good run now. Invited me to
see his cellar and-well, must tell the truth
took another d" SMILE, and, between you and
me, it was GA No. Old Hennessy." Charley
had business to attend to and did not stay half
long enough in the cellar. Looking across the
street, saw old Thede standing in the door of
the Garter House. AS soon as he saw me- he
sung out, Halo, Bill, is that you | thought

been in this country long time and ought to
be in one of those big Neutrality-suspicious. in
the Legislature or the State Prison-come, let's
take drink" 1t is perhaps unnecessary to say
that we took one. Thede & Baumgartner have
their hotel in good shape and are the most ac-
commodating landlords in the country. heard
considerable news during my visit, which may
be summed up as follows:
The 4th of July will be great day in June
tion City. The school trustees have the celebra-
tion in hand and intend to do everything up in
"shp shape" and expect to surprise their Wis
itors. All kinds of amusements, too numerous
to mention, will be carried on. The business
men of the place are taking an active part in
the celebration, and it will certainly be pleas
ant time, so shall go for one.
So far as the mines in this section are con-
cerned they are nothing extra, but good. Ha.
ger & Haas have finished cleaning up and, |
think, have done we'll Wese & Vomers s
claim is good one, and as they are both good
fellows, hope they will also do we'll The Keno
Flat claim still pays; the owners always have Il
little " change" and are " bully boys" Dacy
Bros are cleaning up, with favorable prospects
Some of the claims forced to quit work
very carly on account of the limited supply of
water. With plenty of water, junction City and
vicinity would furnish employment to 200 more
men than are now there.
had almost forgotten to say that the Carter
House and Kuper, Karsky & Co. have rugged
water-power which throws stream over both
their houses, and will prove very seryiceable in
the event of either taking fire. Mr.. G. Baum
gartner is the man that tends the hydraulic, and
he can be relied upon to do it right. This wa
ter is taken from the old Phibrook ditch
