Of the old church building, soon to give
place TO an elegant new structure, was 1T
tendcd By a large number of people, who

IN 1887 On the lot between Judge Films 4
residence and the canal II was after
wards removed to is present location, and
has been repdired several times.

FAKE ADDITIONS - 1t has come to the
knowledge of the Baker City Blade that |
two new additions to Baker City have been
located IN the desert hills southeast of town.
They are two and a-balf miles out of town,
and are out of sight aud reach. Portiaud
parties are manipulating them, and the
lots are being cold TO the Willamette suck
ers, on the same principles that boys
"swap" jack knives, "unsight and unseen"
This sort OF thinks will Iact as boomer
ang for our boom II 1t Is persisted in.
Baker Is already surfeited with additions
that have merit. but those fake town lots
ought to be exposed.
