cattle kings, returned from Califor
MIA this week. Mr.. Shea is highly
pleased with the stock prospects OF
this country at present, and will
net leave, as he contemplated do
ing.
Howard Sebree Co. loaded two
of the celebrated Whitley solid
steel mowers and two Bonanza
hay rakes for parties in the Basin
this week. Truly the fame of the
Whitley spreadeth abroad in the
land.
The firm of Little & Blatchley,
druggists and statieners, has dis
solved partnership, Mr.. Little re-
firing. The full particulars of the
change are not yet made public,
so we can give our readers nothing
but the bare announcement.
j. F. LackY, foreman of the
Oregon Horse and Land Company,

ed ffty-fve cars for their sheep

fat, thanks to the recent rains.
Constable Huntington arrested
Fred Wink, a sheepherder, and
took him before Judge Beatty, one
day this week. The Judge decid-
ed it ease Of plain drunk aud
fined him IS and costs. Our devil
suggests he took too many Winks.
John brennan came over from
his sheep ranch this week with two
hundred sheep for MIR. Fordyce.
Mr.. F. has bought quite number
of sheep through the adjacent
country, but instead of shipping
from here, will drive as far east as
possible.

days residence in the county Jail.

Office of the secretary at all times.
"A. A. Hoover invites the at
tention of the public to his stock
of furniture. He has added to his
stock until he now has every arti-
Gle of comfort, convenience and
beauty in the furniture line. He
also runs in connection first-class
cabinet shop, where he makes
speciality of repairing and new
work-anything from a picture
frame to a book case.
Assessor Mcconnell and the
Cinnamon had a great roundup
the other day, when he went down
to collect their poll tax. The
Chinese are very artful dodgers,
and they lie, plead poverty. bluff,
pass off for one another, hide and
practice other cunning devices un-
til an officer is perfectly bewildered.
Charlie stayed with them, however,
until he caught them all.
"A solid steel binder is certain
ly novelty; but when accompanied
by lightness of draft and strength
of parts hitherto unattained by the
old style of machines, it becomes a
leader. Howard Sebree Co. are
agents for the only solid steel bind
er manufactured in the United
States and have one set up for in
spection on their implement plat
form in Caldwell.
-"Hello there, where are you
going" said Stevenson, the lum-
Der merchant, to a tramp as he
coolly walked through the lumber
yard toward the barn. II am 60
ing after my soap, slept here last
night" replied the fellow, as he
emerged with a cake of soap.
Cleanliness is next to goodness,
you know, and | could not afford
to leave it; good day." and he
bowed politely and walked away
with the bearing of a prince.
Mr.. T. J. Huff is in town on
short vacation. He tells of wa
ter spout in the Owyhee hills re-
Gently that made the creeks and
rills and rivulets roar and boom
for few hours. In his opinion
the wet spring has saved the Sue
cor Creek country, as many OF the
stock men and ranchers contem-
plated leaving on account of the
scarcity of grass and water. The
range is now in elegant shape, and
it is not likely that we will have
another such a dry spell as we
have had the past three years.
While G. w. Snodgrass was
riding a sulky pillow breaking new
piece of ground, this week, the
pillow struck something, upset and
threw Mr.. S. headlong into pond
of alkali water. The horses, not
exactly understanding the cause of
such an unusual fracas behind
them, ran away, and would prob
ably be going yet had they not
been stopped by wire fence. Mr..
S. makes the following summary:
Well shaken up, good ducking,
wire fence broken, horses badly
scratched, sulky pillow gone to
