UNION HAS HOPES
Pioneer C tizen Says County Seat
Goes to La Grand« Through Fraud.
A E Eaton, one at the earliest of
Union county pioneers and owner of
the Union Woolen Mills, which turns
out the finest blankets made in the
»«rid. was in the city yesterday look-
iti after choice selections of wool,
says the Baker City Democrat.
Mr. Eaton says his nulls are
ning to their full capacity an!
continue so as long as the right kind
■f wool can be had He has bought
already this year 350.000 pounds and
wants 150,000 more, 400,000 rounds
a year being the output of h.s mills
One clip of 180.000 pounds, that of
Charles Cunningham
of Umatilla
xiunty. bought by Mr. Eaton, Is said
to be the finest to be found in the
country.
On his way to Baker City Mr Eaton
stopped over at North Powder and
lurvhased the clip of George Lee, 10.-
000 pounds, and Ed Ashby. 4000
ounds. In this county Mr. Eaton ex-
H*cts to buy some choice clips that
have been offered him, paying there
for the top market price.
On the county seat Question Mr.
Eaton replied to an interrogatory:
"La Grande has not got the coun
ty seat yet. has It? For 27 years I
tave fought against the removal of
the county Beat from Union to La
Jraude. and I am ready to fight
_ still.
We have our rights in the courts and
are have a score of good reasons why
the supreme court will sustatn Union
in Its rights.
No. you may be sure. Union Is not
toing to give up the fight without fur
ther effort. The vote in favor of La
Grande last Monday was brought
ibout by dishonest methods, if not to
¿ay bribery, and this can be proven
All sorts of misrepresentation was in-
lulged in and the voters in many lo-
alities were hoodwinked Union will
retain the county seat, this you may
depend upon."
