I 1 "".' UNION COUNTY. -('
Jjnlon county waa created by 'the state
legislator October 14, 1864. Special
Laws of 1864,, page ST.) Jt comprised a
part .of the northern portion of Baker
county.
- Its name wad Klven during the Civil
war when theWord union was popular
and used as a name without particular
regard to Its fitness. fit motto on the
seal of the territory of Oregon was "Alls
Volat proprila," "she flies with her own
wings." The motto on, the seal of the
state" of Oregon, "The Union." ' waa
adopted June 2, 1899. As was said by
Judge M. P.- Deady, In a foot note on
page 627, of his compilation of the Laws
of Oregon 1846-164, "It is to be re
gretted that this -seal (territorial seal)
waa not continued as the seal of the
state, by simply, substituting 'the Mate
of Oregon' for 'tha territory of Oregon.'
In design and propriety, it is in. .every
way aupeclpr to the obscure and mean
ingless oaeif tlie, state." "
Union county- is triangular In shape.
Tha, apex Is'at the north, on the Wash
ington ataU", line.' By an act of the
stats leglslatiig, approved February 18,
1899, (General, Laws of 1899, page 169)
titer waa annexed to Wallowa county
"all that portioh of Union county lying
east of the summit of the. Blue moun
tains and north 6f what Is known as El
bow gulch."1 : WJftere the .forty-sixth par
allel of .latitude crossed the summit of
the Blue1 mountains was the beginning
point Of the original north line of Union
county.
. Union county Is now bounded on. the
north by" the Washington state line, on
the .east by 'IWkllowa county, on the
CO
1
south by portions of Baker and Grant
counties, and on the west by Umatilla
county. Jts county seat Is La Grande,,
The original boundaries of th' county
were aa folio wa:
"All that portion of Baker county
commencing at a point where the 46th
parallel of latitude crosses the- summit
of the Blue mountains, thence east along
said Sine to ' Its Intersection with the
Snake river, thence up the middle of the
channel of said river to tha mouth of
the Powder river, thence up the middle
of the channel of said river to the mouth
of the 'north fork of . the same, thence
up the main channel of the said North
Powder river to its source, thence west
to a point intersecting the east boun
dary line of Umatilla county, thence
northerly along said Una to the place of
beginning." (Special Laws- of 1864,
page 87.)

Of all English statesmen,' Fox Is
one or tne most aamirea in America.
Although his private character la not
free from even severe criticism," yet it
waa largely redeemed by the sweetness
of his disposition, the buoyancy of hla
spirits and the unselfishness . of hla
conduct. Aa a politician he had liberal
sentiments, and hated oppression - and
religious intolerance. Although he was
continually at war with George lit, an
opponent of considerable knowledge of
kingcraft, but as far as the two men
are concerned, it was after all a drawn
game., . , ,

Sinn's View on Woman's Work.
AVINt had a bit of the opinion of '
woman. on the question of wo-,
men working, it may be of Inter-' j
est to know what some learned
men are saying on the same sub-
Ject. Piofesaor Hcott Nearlng of the
University of Pennsylvania favors Ilm-
Ited racesulclde and Indicates through,
the following views a portion of what'
he considers to bo woman's duty in tha
next decade: '.-.,'
"If compatibility in the home is to be
asured, every woman i should, before
she marries, or immediately afterward,
come in contact with tha : industrial -
world, because of the breadth of view '
such a contact gives.
, t'Perfect sympathy in the home can '
be found asmud only when the woman
understands all the big problems which
confront her husband, and she can un
derstand them only after some real oon- -tact
with the world of affairs." '
"The woman who apends her life in
the same 'social set' atrophies; the wo
man who comes In contact with the
world broadens and understands." ,.
"Nome' life is narrowing,! and unless
supplemented by education leads y the
Ufejn 'social sets,' so disastrous to the 1
development of Individuality, f Even ed
ucation, la not effective in the develop
ment of character unless it' is applied
in the form of some positive, occupation.
"It is upon this question. .of occupa-
lion that I wish to, lay. particular em- '
phaala, because an imnreaalon 'srevalli '
among a group of American women at tha ;
present day. that if their liusbanda are
able to earn enough toaupport them In
idleness. It is neither necessary nor 'fit- .'
ting for them to engage In any form of
occupation. There could ba no mora
dangerous or disastrous fallacy.

"There : are two alternative nfnuna-
tlona open to Women, flrat mot herhnnd! .
and second, some orm of Induatrlal
pursuit.- Neither occupation la exclu
sive of ,, tha other and most women
should, at different periods of their
lives, 'engage in both of them. Moth.
erhood, whether ' looked , at from" tha
Standpoint of society, or of tha Woman
personally, Is. by far. the mora Impor
tant occupation of the two.
"Tha rearing of children is by far the '
more Important, because today It la not
many men that are needed but a-ood
bnea; not quantity, but quality. ' This
being tha case. It la far more impor
tant ror a -woman to bear two children .

Professor Thomas of the TJnlveraltv
of Chicago has recently written a num- -bet
of clever magaslne articles, and In
one of them be gives considerable con
sideration to this subject. He says in
part: ,v
"It la Idle, Indeed, to sneak of the ex
clusion of women from the occunatlons.
They are entering them from the top
and, from the bottom of the ladder. The I
Hit-conditioned . are being forced Into
them and the well-conditioned thoae -whom
men have been educating' while
deploring the use of their education
are already entering . them at the top
In considerable numbers. And they are
finding new and characteristic waya ot
giving to society that reserve of affec
tion and nurture which they have here
tofore reserved for the child and the
home;

-The Plain People'-.
From the Albany Heralj. ' -,
The plain people not only raise the
crops, make the clothes, build the
houses and render-, possible tha thou
sand 'and one utilities, comforts and
pleasures of modern life, but it remains
for these same plain people to say what
laws are practicable, . what morals are
decent, what religions are inspiring.
It "Is i necessary that ' there be wis
