James Hunter has finished building
two immense wagon bridges across some
of the uneven places on his Tyrolese
ranch five miles south of Mosier. The
highest one is thirty-fve feet from the

Mrs. j. II. Mosier is circulating petit
ton, which has been numerously signed,
asking for appointment as postmistress,
vice J. n. Mosier, deceased. There are
no rivals for the Office as far as known.
Its duties are onerous and the salary
small. When the solitary store and
rough pine shacks around it multiply to
the extent that first-class Office is de-
manded, with salary of 10000 per
annum, we will petition for the removal
of the pasture fence and bid for the
worlds fair.

precinct, whose acquaintance has had {
good chance to ripen into that familiar
ity which breeds contempt.
