SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.
Estimated Value of School Bousss Tho
Average Tax Le7j
Enrroit Oiir.oo.v Scout :
The following comparisons of figures
will prove interesting to those of your
leadeis who are interested in the wel
fare of our public school system.
They are taken from my annual report
to tho .Superintendent of Public In
struction. Tho number of persons in Union
county between tho nges of -1 and 20
drawing public money during tho
school year ending March 188'J was
.1,10:J, during tho year ending Mnrch
1890 was 3,805. The number enrolled
in the public schools in 1888-89 was
2,288, in 18S9-90 was 2,r)GG. Tho
number attending under six years of
ago in 18S8-89 was !)8, in 188IMI0
was 202. Tho average daily attend
ance throughout tho county in
1888-39 was 1,570, in 1889-90 was
1,752.
During the school year of 1888-S9
about 08 teachers were employed in
teaching our public schools, receiving
as compensut on for their labor the
sum of '?I8,l!i0,'i5; during the year
18&9-U0 about 75 teachers were em
ployed icceiving $20,17'! ,51. For the
year 1888-S9 tlio number of teaeheis
holding first grade certificates was 9
males and 9 females; holding second
grade, 11 males and 18 females; hold
ing third grade, 7 males and (5 females.
For tho year onding 1889-90 thu num
ber holding first grade certificates was,
15 males and l.'l females; holding
second grade, 12 males and 11 females ;
holding third grade, 5 males and 11
females.
Tho estimated value of school houses
and grounds for 1888-89 was fllm-l,
and for 1889-90 was .'0.12S,.15. The
estimated value of apparatus, maps,
globes, charts, etc, was for 1888-89
100, and for 1SS9-90 was $ 1,251. 20.
The wholo amount of insurance on
school houses for 1883-89 was $ 1 1 ,5090,
and for 1889-90 was !?1 -1,900.
Thero are six graded schools in the
county, employing eighteen teaeheis
and attended by 9117 pupils.
AW districts in tho county are sup
plied with suitable recoid books. Tho
total number of districts iu tho county
is 02, 20 of which arc supplied with
Webster's Unabridged dictionaries us
compared with seven for thu preceed
ing year.
The average levy in districts voting
taxes iu 1888-S9 was 5 mills and in
1SS9-90 was 8.1 mills. Tho amount
raised by district tax for 1888-S9 was
2901.85, and for 1889-90 was $9,905.
l!l. Tho amount of the county school
fund for 1889-00 was not so largo as
for 1S88-89 owing to t'ui fact that the
assessment of property in the county
for 1889 did not, increase so much
proportionately over tho previous
year as did the number of peivons. be
tween thu ages of l and 20 drawing
public money.
Tho total receipts for 1SS8-S9 were
!?20,U)7.9:i, and for J 889-90 were $11,
0O;,.O2. The amount paid for school
furniture for '88-89 was 1?1 lO.IH), and
for '89-90 was :? 1,32 1. 2-1. The amount
paid for building school houses for
'88-89 was if (i 1(5.0.'), and for 'SO-90 was
ff2,52(i.fl5. Tho total amount paid out
for 'SS-S9 was $22,51.1.05 and for
'89-90 was.'f2S,900.51.
Tho amount of tho county school
fund now iu the hands of tho county
tteasurer is somothing near thu satuo
as distributed last year and as there
aro 1(52 porsons butwoeu thu ages of -1
and 20 more this year than there were
last tho apportionment per eapitn will
nuueessarily be smaller.
lly a careful study of tho above
figures it will bo found that our public
schools for tho year last passed have
made an advancement of which wo
all should fool justly proud.

Often have the remarks been made
about our town and city business men.
It is a great enor and u sad mistake for
farmers and others to bo led into the
notion that the business men in their
town are their enemies, or that they
are reaping groat profit. As iv matter
of fact tho average merchant finds it
pretty hard squeezing to get along,
pay his bills, and pay his help. Yet,
many a customer has been helped over
a. tight place by being furnished goods
on time till tho crops came in. When
a subscription paper is started to build
roads or help the unfortunate man who
has been burned out, it soon finds its
way to town. Xow suppose you close
up every store in town but one, how
much would it improve the valuo, of
your farm? What would it benefit
the fanners if all competition were
done away with? The fact is, the inter
ests of tho farmers and business men
aro identical and ho who attempts to
prejudice one against tho other is a
disturber of tho confidence) that should
bo mutual between all honest men.

A CASE DECIDED.
Judge Foe Docldss for tha Plaintiff in tho
Caco or Geo. Ilahn vs. Baker City Lodge
A. F. & A. M.
Tho ease of Geo. Hahn vs. the llaker
City Lodge, A. F. it A. M., taken un
der udvifceinent by .ludge .las. A. Fee,
was decided last evening in favor of
the plaint ill". Tho ease is of some in
teiest. It appears that thu property
iu disputu, fifty feet, front, in Baker
City, with a building thereon, was
sold to (ico. Hahn, a commercial man,
but that only tho lower story of tho
building was included iu the trans
action, tho upper story being sold to
the defendants in the case. Tho build
ing burned down in the recent lire and
I lahn contended that all tho inteiest
of the lodge in tho building or property
was destroyed by the conflagration,
and brought suit" to establish his sole
title to tlio property. The Lodge
contended, as a portion of tlio walls
were standing, that Hahn was obliged
to restore his portion of the building in
order that thoy could rebuild tlio up
per story, owned by them before tho
lire. The case was argued in Cham
bers not long ago, and decided as
stated. It will probably bo appealed.
