Baker City Democrat: Meacham station
on the Union Pacific, on the summit of the
Blue mountains has changed its name. Il
is now Jerusalem. J. Z. Arnold and one OIL

there and plated it for town site. The
Umatilla county teachers institute will be
held at that place this summer.
The citizens of Boise are jubllant over the
admission of Idaho. This IS from the
Statesman: "Upon receipt of the news OF
| the admission of Idaho, the city fathers
ordered three Thousand dollars worth of
! fire works-this with the present subscrip-
tions will make about $1,000 for pvrotechnic

celebrate"
The Importance of The Dalles for the
| largest shops ON the western division of the
Union Pacific was fully illustrated last
night at the time of the wreck near Moser.
Fully one hundred men, with all necessary
apparatus, should have responded, instead
of which only about twenty were in the
employ of the company. The Dalles has
the most important requisites demanding
large shops for the transcontinentalline,
and If the directors remove them to Albina,
they will regret the act in the future.
There will be an extra force on the arc
lights tonight. The machinery has been
thoroughly renovated, and the blaze of
these lum1naries through the streets will
be almost equal to the effulgent rays of the
monday sun. The proprietors are Glenn
& Handley, and We can assure our people
that whatever the large-hearted major is IN
terested in, whether it be hotel or electric
light plant, will be tirst-class in every par
ticular.

steamer right into the rapids, the object be-
ing to show plainly the obstruction to navi-
cation, and with what ease the distractions |
could be removed. the excursion will un-
dou btedly be very pleasant one.
Mr.. Locke Richardson, who recltcs Julius |

subject of patronage.
