Oot 21 having the largest stock of "Preferred" canned goods, Allen & Lewis special PROPOSED OF UNION COUNTY Map showing Union oonnty and pro posed new county (within the heavy lines) with Union as the oonnty seat. The question of the organization of a new oounty out of that part of Union county directly tributary to the oity of Union, is being diaausseu by many of our taxpayers, and the above map shows an outline of the territory it is proposed to embrace in the new oounty. Still another suggestion Is the .at tachment of this portion ot Union county to liaker county These propositions are quite likely to materialize into something tangible about the next session of the legists? ture. In the meantime, the taxpayer might do well to post op on the faots ot the oase. ' ThlB new county would include about twenty townships, less than one third the present area ot the county, which oontains about 70 townships. This new oounty would have mure ter ritory than Sheiman, Columbia or Polk counties, which contain about 19 townships each ; more than V amhill, whioh has about 18 townships; the same as Washington, whioh has about twenty townships; and nearly twice that of Multnomah, whioh has about 11 townships. So the new oounty would have enough territory. As to tbe vote and . population, the following figures tell the story. The vote at tbe June election in tbe pro posed oounty etood as follows: Union No. 1, 280; Union No. 2, 241; Cove 229; North Powder, 105; Antelipe,23; and Big Creek, 43, a total of 981 votes As there were cast in Union oounty at said election 3.738 votes, it will be seen that tbe uw county has only little more than one-fourth ot the votes and population; yet by a comparison with the vote of last June, the new Remember MliS Sbanklin will serve Fluff at J D McKannon'a every day this week. Special Excursion to the World's Fair. The Denver and Rio Grande, in oon - neotion with tbe Missouri Paciuo, w.U run a series of personally oon- ducted excursions to the World's fair during June.

Tbe first of, .hese excursions will leave Portland J-ine 7, and the second June 17. The rate from La Grande will be W0 to St. Lolls and return.

DIVISION connty would have more votes than the following Oregon oountles, to wit : Carrey, with 672 votes; Gilliam 863 votes; Harney, 90S votes; Lake 783; Llnouln 968, and Wheeler 820 votes. Other counties with about tbe same nu nber of votes, as the new oonnty would have, are Klamath with 1,504, Molheur 1,287, Sherman with 1,022, and Tillamook with 1,102, These counties, though the population Is not yet large, are prosperous and progress ive, as ,would be tbe new oounty here. The new oounty would embrace all of road districts numbered 23 to 33, both inclusive, and Unioj and North Powder with total assessable property valued at 1,300,035, and parta of districts numbered 11, 12, 13, and 34, which have taxable property valued at $601,- 213; so the new oonnty would have probably no less than 11,500,000 of tax able property at present valuations Would this bo sufficient to maintain the new oounty? A comparison with other Oregon counties should answer the question. The following counties have approximately the same amount oi property, or less than tbe new oounty would have, the figures beii g taken from the 1'.'03 rolls, to-wit: Columbia 1,822,832; Crook $723,428; Grant 739,717; Josephine 11,800,606; Lake 91,74047; Lincoln 8943,804; Wallowa 11,761,121; Wheeler $1,125,350, bo the new county would have nothing to fear from that standpoint. With an eoonomioal adminietratlon, those best posted on the situation insist that the new county iould maintain itsgoyern ment and wipe out its debt. The above facts are published for the infot mation of the general public, and will be continued from time to time, Tbe impression prevails that tbe new oounty' Idea may take definite shape a little later in the season Union Republican.
