! pared the specimens with some we
have from the Galapooia, Blue River
and Santiain districts and find that we
Z have richer mines ut our own door;

trict necessitated long journey by
pack train and a considerable outlay
ofmoney their value would be increased
ten-fold,
A Pendleton young man who is In
love with a young lady in n neighbor-

but one days visit tired .her and she
tried to escape on horseback. He first
pulled her off the horse, but she got
away and he followed her across the
country in his buggy. The young man
was finally driven of BY friend with

Right this way for constancy. The
! Lebanon young man would have stayed
with her till it thundered aud the dogs
howled.
Montague must be preparing for
boom, judging by the way he Is stock
ing up his Mammoth and One-Price
| Cash Stores. by purchasing his goods
in such large quantities he naturally
gets much lower prices. He guaran-
, tees good goods in all the departments
I
prices that absolutely astonish other
merchants in the valley, some of them
. going so far as to say that Montague
retails his goods as low as they buy
them at wholesale. The careful buycr
. invariably goes to Montague's.
The One-Price Cash Store has be-
come one of the features of Lebanon.
AS everything is new and fresh, and the
. prices are so much below that charged

pie who desire to buy their goods
for cash naturally go to the corner.

: three mSnths since we were informed
that the necessary stock ($.s0, ,000l had
, been subscribed and that engineers
/ would BE on the ground forthwith.
Either our informant was wrong or our
sight is failing. This week we have
2 heard the scheme discussed in minor
7 key and il is to be hoped that our people
{ will take hold of the matter in earnest.
: Enterprises are springing up that make
e us proud of our record thus far, and now

industries would multiply on every

r ditch will be dug some time, and the

turing town.
Z We were shown a long letter from a
{ Dakota man last week, in which the
writer, after bewaiIing the light crops
!, for the past few years, describes a sys-
: tenn of irrigation as practiced in bis
: section of country, and asks our opin-
: ion in regard TO this artificial mode oi
: raising corn, wheat and potatoes. With
: no Intention of being rude or uncivil
! we will say that we know nothing
! whatever about irrigation beyond
lsprinkling few house plants, and We
. hope that we shall never live in a eoun.
L try that will compel an increase OF
q knowledge in this respect. We have
. been fortunate enough TO live in a
: country where the s'early and latter
r rainsn come with the regularity of the
D tid..s, and where the kind heavens pre-
side over a system OF irrigation that is
both natural and satisfactory
