and tho farmers are compelled to haul
away tho first crop and dump it any place

room for tho growing crop which Is now
sprouting through the shocks. This will
be a severe los to tho fanners of Eagle

not damaged so much, not being so far
advanced. Haying lias now commenced in
this valley, and with favorable woather
most of the crop will bo saved.

The Ball Game.
Quite an Interesting gatno of base ball
was played in this city last Sunday between
the Island City nine and the home team
Our boys proved too much for the visitors
and at the close of the game the score stood
15 to 10. Some very good playing was done
on both sides and the game went oft" very
peaceably. Quite a number of ladies and
gentlemen were present to witness the con
test. Following is tho score by innings:
Union 2 1 1 5 t 0 2 0 15
Island City 1 1 0 1 3 0 0 0 410

to play a return game witli that club aKo,
having been beaten hero tho first game
Some of our boys take a great deal of in

State Directory Caution.
Business men may sayc themselves a
good deal of mortification if they will be
on their guard against any cheap directory
scheme that demands pay in advance.
That fake lias been worked in tho east and
is always a disappointment. Either the
book never comes, or is so incomplete as to
bo worse than none. R. L. Polk & Co. of
Portland. Oregon, have been publishing
biennially, since 18SI, their well known
Oregon, Washington fc Idaho Gazetteer
mil Business Directory. It is a standard
publication of rare merit and should re
ceive hearty support. It is issued at $5.00,
a price that insures a thoroughly accurate
book, and the publishers exhibit their con
fidence in their work by not asking "pay In
advance." People are further warned not
to believe in tho falsehoods of canvassers
for bogus publications, who say Polk it Co.
have retired from tho field. They now
have their next Oregon, Washington and
Idaho book in active preparation, and will
be here long after theso piratical schemes
arc dead and forgotten.
Our Advantages.
We notico that many other towns are
boasting of their advantages as health re
sorts and of the number of visitors throng
ing to them. This is all right, as "blow
your own horn'' is a good motto, and by so
doing many a town is built up. Now while
we do not claim that Union is tho best
built and liveliest town in the state, we
think we can say without tho fear oLsuc-
cessful contradiction that it is the peer of
any other of its size in these respects, and
is pronounced by all who visit it in oyery
way worthy tho appellation "Queen City"
of Eastern Oregon. With its pure cold
water, dry bracing atmosphere, commodi
ous liotels, rciineu anil Hospitable people,
and many other attractions, it needs only
to bo visited to be acknowledged one of the
best places to spend tho summer, or winter
either, in tho entire Northwest. For
health, pleasure, and solid comfort como to
Union.
Footprints of tho World's History.
It is a relief to pick up a new book that
is at once thrilling, romantic, wholesome,
pure and true. Such a worK is "Foot
prints of tho World's History," tho latest
and greatest work of tho two celebrated
historians. John Clark Ridpath and Wm,
B. Bryan. Theso distinguished gentlemen,
having won laurels by independent writ
ings, havo co-operated on this work and
produced a "gem of tho purest ray serene."
It is not a dry, uninteresting statoment of
plain facts, but rather each of tho most Im
portant events in history has been taken up
and described by a master of languago, who
holds the reader entranced as he wends his
way along the path of history, following
carefully in the footprints of progress.
We are delighted with this superb vol
ume. Perfect In thought, superb in style,
and magnificent in execution. Tho bind
ings are sumptuous, as are also tho many
Illustrations and colored plates. Tho pub
lishers have rightly concluded that such a
gem should havo a rich setting.
It is a valuable addition to literature. It
is a book for the old as well as the young;
tho married as well as tho single; tho guy
as well as tho grave. Everybody will read
It with equal eagerness and profit. It is
bld only through agents, and tho publish

School Meeting.
A school meeting of this district was held
at the school house Tuesday afternoon for
the purpose of voting on the proposition of
empowering the board of directors thereof
to increase the amount of indebtedness In
order to erect the addition and repair the
present building.' It was found necessary
to do this In order to raise the required
amount. At a previous meeting the di
rectors were empowered to bond the dis
trict in tho stun of $15,000. of which amount
they could only incur an indebtedness to
the district of two-thlrds-or $10,000. The
contract price of the addition nearly covers
this amount, and would not leavo sufficient
to make tho proposed improvement on tho
old building, which will amount to $1500,
hence the necessity of Increasing the
amount of bonds to $17,000. The proposi
tion was carried by a vote of 19 toll. T. II .

unexpired term of J. W. Kennedy resigned

Pretty little dappled beauty,
Oh, how prettily you sing.
How I love to hear your ditty
As you float on gauzy wing.
Howsweet the rest your song affords me
Tired? Yes. How sound I sleep
How you fear you will disturb me
While you your kindly vigils keep.
Oh, how gently you alighted
On my nose or on my cheek;
Then In ecstaey delighted
To Imbibe that's what you seek.
In my sleep I try to hit you
And to crush your body fair.
Did I ? No, 1 did not got you ;
You elude each blow with care.
Again you sing your littlo sonnet
While approaching close niv ear;
So tenderly you light upon It,
Light upon it without fear.
Oh! you blasted little toryl
To your praise no more I'll write,
For you sing your littlo story
Only for a chance to bite.
Yet your life's a seeming duty,
Helping make this world complete
By commingling things of beauty
Witli the motives of deceit.

Never moro will Minnio's laughter
Cheer you in your hours of pain,
And when you have grown aweary,
You shall seek her smile in vain.
Never more will lillies blossom,

As they blossomed when you woro

Ere your darling you loved had died.
Never moro will Minnio linger
For your kiss of lovo so sweot,
And tho future ne'er will bring you
Tho soft patter of her feot.
Thero is not ono chord of music

Whilo tho violets aro blooming
O'or your darling gouo away.
Novor moro will Minnio's fingers
Press tho dimpled check so fair.
Never will tho sunbeams quiver,
As thoy kiss your darling's hair.

Lont you for a summer hour,
And in all her spotless beauty

Reply to "A Fow Questions,"
Editor Okegon Scout:
Will you givo mo leave to reply to
"A Eow Questions" emanating from tho
mind of ono "Poms," of Summervillo.
Ho scorns to make objections to a com
munication of mino found in tho
Chronicle. Ho quotes a paragraph
from it which 1 must needs reiterate
as essential to tho discussion. Thus:
"Scicnco and philosophy demonstrate
that tho atmosphere receives its moist
ure and ruin-clouds from tho earth
and teas, undor propor conditions of
heat and cold. And yet it is not, and
never has been, capablo of holding and
sustaining moisture or water enough
to prccipitalo to tho earth and cover
tho whole mass to tho top of tho
mountains of Ararat." Then "Portia"
ueks, "What does soionco touch in
regard to tho formation of tho earth?"
Thou yaiikeo like answers his own
question by Baying: "Does it not
teach that tho earth was ouco all
covered witli water?" Thou "Portia"
cites mo (o tho lOltli Psuliu to ahow
mo Miat tho Bible and science do not
disagree. I can see but very little in
that Psalm that corroborates scienco,
or analogizes a co-relation to scienco,
but rather conflicts with tho direct and
known principles of scienco. The Gth
verso reads : "Thou coveredst it with
the deep as with a garment: the wat
ers slood above the mountains." A
natural phenomenon which I preaumo
"Porus" has beheld more than oneo,
when a storm cloud loomed above a
mountain and enveloped its top. Tho
7th verse reads: "At thy rebuke thoy
fled: at the voice of thy thunder they
hasted away." Another natural phe
nomenon, when by the concentrated
forces of the electric batteries with
their reverberating jars of thunder tho
air was forced to lot go of its over
weighted load of water, which left tho
previous surcharged atmosphere once
moro in its normal condition, The
Sth verse reads: "Thoy go up by the
mountains: thoy go down by tho val
leys into the place which thou hast
founded for them." Now I will ask
"Porus" ono question. Does science
teach that water runs up hills and
mountains to seek its level? If science
demonstrates that the earth w.as once
covored with water, I will aver that it
was at a time so far remote in past
ages that there was neither mountains
or animal life on the face of the earth,
and that since that time, by tho many
convulsions of the elemental forces of
nature, have the mountains been
formed, by and with the vast upheav
als that oven at tho prosont day aro
often rending tho earth's outer crust.
I will say but littlo more now, but will
still hold to my first statement until
"Porus" produces more positive proof
than tho old Psalmist David, whom I
think had very littlo knowledgo of tho
scienco of nature. I rest for tho pros
ont, only asking who noxt?
