PRICE, Phone 1491 In one hundred foreign trade has increased 13.8 fulil, while our merchant ma rine haf iucreased but 1 23 fold. The United States in 1900 was nearly four and one-balf. times larger in area than it was in 1800. There were in"' 1900, 71.000.000 more people in the United States than in 1800. The United States T'eusury Department has no reliable fig ures as to tb i aggregate wealth of the people prior to 1850 but the census taken that year gives the wealth of all the people at $7,135,789,000 ond in 1900 the the aggregate wealth of the peo pie in the United tfUtes was found by the census takers to foot up 1(94,300,000,000, show ing that the wealth of the peo pie bad increased from a pei capita in 1850 of 1307.69 to a pert-apita in 100 of $1,235.88 And thus tie increase ie shown iu every vocation and business with the single excep tion of our merchant marine. Why is this? form some estimate of the mag nitude of the auction it is noted years our that in Union county there are surveyed and uiisurveyed pub lic unappropriated land amount ing to 133,820 acres, 15 per cent of which is estimated by the commissioners of the Gener al Land effice as timbered moun tains. This would give 100,365 acres of limber in Union county to be sold at auction. AUCTION OF TIMBER. IF BROKEN HEA UTS cm!

There is a bill now pending in the Oongreps of the United States which, if it passes, and tho probabilities are that it will, will repeal llm i i tuber aud Stone act of June 3, li78 under which timber lun I hue been disposed of by the United States for 2( jears ut $2.50 per acre, and cbango the plan so that the tim ber will be sold at auction. This is making provision for a big auction sale. Just how nig is not generally known. To Now that the foots regaiding tbe title to the court house and grounds are known, one of the arguments against moving tie county seat is destroyed, just as all others will be by the time the election takes place next lutie. La Grande is the proper place foi the county seat und tbe voters of ;Uuiou county will back this assertion up with their votes at the polls. The present buildings are altogether too small for the proper and econom ic transaction of the county business and it is a self evident ffict that new buildings ore now necessary, and it resolves itself to the question of, Bhull tbe iiev buildings be erected at Sk. point which is almost inaccessible or slin.il they be placed where they can be of the greatest good to the greatest number? Ou next Mouday evening tho new city officers will take their soats and enter upon their du ties. They will begin their li. bors with tbe full confidence of the citizens of this city. It is fully exp-cted that their ad ministration of the city affairs will be business like and for the very best iuterests of tbe city. J. H. Feare, the Jeweler A BENEFIT TO ALL. vrr Out.
