Bill Introduced to Divide County ThewUnot a siugl. reason why Volon county should be divided, ex cept Utt the town of Union want a county tett and in her hsat- of frsnsy to get even on La Grande trie to make b-raelf believe that the would be just ifie l in the atmpt; but wben in aftrr yeare the finds berteif tax ridden it will be too late to repot if successful now. While Union could come nearer in pi ying even, how about the other preoiaots. The Portland paper assert that Bepresentative Dobbin farora a dlvis ion, Senator McDonald and Repre sentative MoLeod aa againat it while Senator Pierce ia reported to be unde cided ; ... The bill was introduced by reqoeat, by Representative Bally, of Portland. The Union delegation now on the ground is headed by Attorneys Coch ran and Davis. As yet those opposed to division have not seat a lobby This bill should not pass and if properly presented the committee on oountlea wonld never give a favorable report but It might if the other aide is not properly shown up. POLITICAL CENTER ' One of the reasons why a few certain office seekers around Union are work in so bard for tne subdivision of Un ion e uuty is sally accounted for by noting the political power Union . will have in the new county. Of the 825 votes is the new county, Union will cast 403. Under such a condition, if the outside preclnota entertain the hope of securing much reoognitio they will be doomed to disappointment. DIMINISH OCR POWER Two email counties do not exercise tbe earns influence as one large edunty. As the county is today we onl v have one exclusive representative, our other a a joint with Wallowa, both our senators are joint, Pierce with Umatil la, Morrow and Union, McDonald rep resents Wallowa and Union. By the division of our present territory our Influence would correspondingly de crease in both counties.
