Now the county court comes out with a public statement that they will favor no proposition whereby the oounly will be out to exceed f 10 per year rental for suitable buildings and jail, for a term of fifteen years, neither will they stand for any expense connected with the removal ol the records in excess of (200. this puts the total expense of removing the county records and the use of a court house for. the next fifteen years at $35 segregated as follows, $200 for moving and fifteen years, rent at $10 per annum, $150.

Yoa can get them at the RAIN BOW Store only, Every pair giurai tesd. is not a single term of circuit court but what this insignificant amount would be saved to the lax payers in milage paid witnesses, trial and grand jury men if La ; Grande was the county seat. Union has been the county seat for the past 80 years and the county is getting deeper and deeper in debt all the time. Did it ever oocar to you Mr. tax payer that a long as it remains there, it will always be , so. Why!, beoause Union tries just as hard to keep it indebt between county seat fights as it tries to make tbe people beleive in 0. se of a change the debt will be increased. . If the county was out of , debt, what opposition could there be offered to seep the county seat away off to one isolated side af the county.
