The other morning Coquillent asked
for days leave OF absence in order to

DEAR Press:
The ferry boat is finished and in rum
ming order, Now, if you want to 90 above
John Days on the other side of the riy-
er, you are not obliged to swim your
horse. The boat was built by Wm.
Morgan, assisted by Jesse Farmer, and
IS good substantial structure, 46 feet
long and cost Mr.. Cleary about ST. 600.
1t Was built at the mouth of the creek.
about quarter of a mile below the
cable. When it was completed we were
invited to take a ride in it I'D to the
mooring, which we accordingly did.
Nike and Billy, Mr.. Cleary's most relia-
ble team, were taken on board. and
although it was their first boat ride. did
not act in the least green. [ should
have said that the opposite side of the
river was best from which to haul the
boat up, and went over in small boat.
taking one end of rope, which was at
tached to the ferry boat, and together
with Pa. Walsh, pulled it across. Mike
and Billy were then taken ashore and
hitched to the ferry boat by long rope
and hauled it up to the cable. While
we were making speed" up the Salmon
Roy Gordon and Ed. Walsh, who had
taken the row boat again, tried to run
US down, but succeeded only in running
the bow of their boat under the large
boats apron. No lives lost on the occa-
sion. Henry Elfers crossed the river at
the cable in a small boat, hanging on to
the pulley ropes, bringing them overs to
be attached to the ferry boat; which
was soon done, and we crossed to our
own side of the river in regular cable
boat fashion. believe there is to be a
telephone between the ferry and the
John Day House.
Another improvement is going on, in
which the travelling public is interested.
Mr.. Cleary is building a large and COM
modious barn; want that has been
long felt. lie has secured the services
of Frank Vansise, whom everybody
knows to be an excellent workman, as
builder, and also two good mechanics to
assist IN the persons of William Morgan
and Jesse Farmer. According to the
plans this structure will cost about a
thousand dollars. Do we not call men
who make these improvements public
benefactors?"
News has just arrived that Mr.. ROBBIE
is dead. All we can learn at present is
that he went from home on horseback.
and his horse returned alone, when
search was made and he was found
dead. This is the third death in Mrs.
Robie's house within a few months,
She has the sympathies of all on John
Days creek, and doubtless wherever
she Is known. OREsTEs.

ED. PREss:-I have been intending to
write letter for the paper but have nut
1t oil from time to time.
We have had considerable excitement
mere all through the winter. Between
emma murders and fist fights we have
had something to talk about and keen
up our spirits between drinks.
1t made the boys brace up and feel
good for quite a while after they saw
the notice in the FREE Press that there
hau been stock mining company or
ganlzed by Mr.. r. r. Spedden and 9TH
ers.
Some of the miners have felt blue for

moon the other night. Ii saws that he
could not see that it was very far out of
Its regular course, but it is very likely
he doesn't drink the same kind of bug

We organized a literary society here
this winter called the Friendly Noun
talneers Literary society, electing Mr..
B. B. Stuart president, Mrs. Sadie Litch-
held vice. president, and G. A. Sears
secretary. We meet weekly at tho
homes OF the members having suitable
rooms.
Those who have quartz claims here
nave been at work all winter taking out
ore and developing their mines.
The coolest weather we have had this
winter was 1872 below zero. The ranch
ers hereabouts have been able to come
to town on horseback all winter.

The weight supper given by the ladies
Tuesday evening for the benefit of Rev
Maxey was a success, both financially
and socially. A large crowd was in at
tendance, and all pronounce the affair a
most enjoyable one. The proceeds of
the evening were S40.25, with no ex-
pense. To the ladies' who worked so
earnestly to carry the affair to a success
inl termination much circuit is due.
The boys comprising the orchestra
have been to considerable expense in
purchasing music, and other necessary
expenses, such as room rent, light and
| fuel, and we trust that the citizens of
the prairie will turn out in goodly num-
her next Monday night, in order to
show their appreciation of the efforts
the boys are making to give us the best
of dance music. The supper is to be
furnished by G.. w. Chamberlain and
everything the market affords will be
set before the guests. Tickets can be
procured at the Grangevile drug store
or at Wood & NcGrane's saloon, for
$3.50, which includes supper.

The dance at Grange hall last Friday
night was very enjoyable affair. Ow-
ing to the fact that there was dance at
Mt. Idaho and also at one or two other
places on the prairie the same evening,
the attendance was not as large as il
otherwise have been, The music for
the occasion was furnished by the
band orchestra, and was of
the best, as all present will testify.
This orchestra is composed of six mem
hers, who, under the able leadership of
e. f. Brown, have in the short time
they have been practising, accomplish

by q. w. Chamberlain and reflected
great credit upon that gentleman.

Our Warrens Letter.
WARRENs, Feb. Is, 1889.


ED. PREss.-Mining items are scarce
this week. Every body is moving along
at their usual gait. 0rcutt 4 Helm
struck hard rock in their Silver King
tunnel but will not be much delayed.
Haynie & Co., at the Mayflower, are
sinking wing preparing for another
level.
In the present legislative proceedings
we observe indications on the part of
our neighbors to nibbe off odds and
ends of our county. We protest How
large Idaho county would be if it were
spread ont flat no one can say. but in its
present condition it is only one and q
fourth times as large as the state of
Massachusetts and we cannot afford to
lose single acre.
We bespeak your attentive care of our
fellow townsman, Bob Devine, who left
us the other day to seek a long lost
brother. He will recognize him by a
straw berry mark upon his arm.
We would also send our regards to our
whilom landlord, Jim Edwards, but we
learn he is camped up in the timber this
winter mauling rails.
AS Warren Helm was going home
from the dance the other morning he
observed ladies' hustle in the road.
He paused and gazed at it attentively.
Then be tossed it contemptuousy away
into the snow. Warren says hustle
with no girl in front of it is of no ac-
count.
Some of our fellow citizens declare
they will put head on one of the War
rens' correspondents of the F. p. if he
don't quit lying so much. They dafsn'i
attempt it. They know how we'll mus.
cled the editor is and that he always
stands in with his friends.
