La Grande Journal: The only uniformed

Baker Rereile: Our reporter last evening
had the pleasure of meeting Mr.. Miller,
one of the Princeton college students who
left Baker City early IN June for trip over
into the John Day country. Mr.. M. tells
us that the students and professors alike
have greatly enjoyed their summer ''out-
ing" and will have two wagon loads OF rare
specimens to be placed on exhibition as
result of their exploration of this marvellous
region. Copious notes have been taken of
the formation wherein these prehistoric re-
mains have been embedded for ages, and
the whole will doubtless prove valuable
addition to the constantly growing store of
results obtainable only through scientific
investigation and patient research. The
entire party will be in Baker City in a few
days on their return home.
East Oregonian: A big force is at work on
the extension above town, and it is thought
that the track will be laid to the mead of
Webb street by this evening. Agent Cald-
erhead expects to commence work tomorrow
in temporary depot in the upper end of
town. Engine and cars are now over the
incline, and are on the bottom this side OF
the bridge, where track is being laid rap
idly. There seems to be a strong suspl-
cion in the minds of some that Pendleton
people will awake some fine morning this
week and find the track laid down Webb |
street-that the track builders will work in |
The night in order to prevent an injunction |
and consequent delay. This is merely a
whispered rumor. however; how true it is !
remains to be seen. In any event Hun: has /
1 perfect right to come down Webb street,
night or day.

ireIy lifeless. MIR. Hendrickson, although
