GOOD KOADS NEEDED.
En. Scout Truly hope is a delu
sive phantom, horn of idleness and ig
norance. Agitation sometimes bring
reforms, or a hotter condition of things,
but only when founded on facts. Truth
alone stand the lest of lime ami in
spection. While many iu Eastern Or
egon are hoping for it large immigra
tion to come ami relieve them of all
their tlill'teulties, would it not be wiser
to try and better the conditions of those
ahvitdy here, before holding out in
ducements for others to come? Ono
of the most laudable attributes of man
is to be honest with himself. The ma
jority of immigrants are looking for
land that is good land lit for agricul
tural purposes. In what part of Union
county tiro such lands? There, aro
many here that would gladly avail
themselves of such an opportunity.
Even along the small streams far uj
in the mountains, where the shadow
of the bill at. miil-day envelopes the en
tire ranch, you will find a settler wait
ing and hoping for more immigrants
to come so they can form a new coun
ty simply death before existnee. Tho
next and by far the greatest industry
in Eastern Oregon is stock raising a
remunerative occupation, but the very
samo dillieulty presents itself, for near
ly three out of live men that you meet
tiro enquiring for stock ranges. What
does it mean? .lust this, that they am
extremely scarce. Another phase in
the stock business is that tho greatest
clear profit, is between the buying and
selling price, and tho greater part of
that money in handled and spent out
of Oregon a considerable loss, for ono
of the fixed laws of nature is that sho
t'cldom if ever give something for
nothing. It necessarily has to exhaust
to produce. Now th 'ii, if it has been
proven by tho best cultivators that ag
riculture is not u success in this part of
the conn try, partly owing to our geo
graphical position being m far from
market, and partly bocau.o wo cannot
hope to compete with the broad acres
of the Mississippi valley, aud that stock
raising is at its best, owing to the rango
being nearly all used. Then where in
the future for this part of the country?
lint we think a bright future begins to
dawn that will prove prolific iu results,
that is Eastern Oregon's mining resour
ces. True it will take both capital
and skill to make the necessary devel
opment two commodities seldom met
with in our markets consequently
will have to be imported from other
States that have hail more oxperienco
iu that particular branch of industry;
ami right there will be a clear gain,
for every dollar brought from other
States and invested hero is a clear gain,
being produced elsewhere, consequent
ly no exhaustion here. The question
is whether wo have mines iu Union
county that have merit or not.
About, two years ago tho discoveries
were made iuKlranito district ofti largo
number of letlges, showing mineral on
tho surface, hut of a base nature, con
sequently requiring expensive machin
ery to extract tho metal from tho rock,
aud to save a sulliciont per cent to jus
tify working tho claims. During tho
two years quite a number of mining
men have visited tho camp, ami near
ly all were well pleated with tho sur
face indications, and quite a number
of claims have been worked enough to
convince any reasonable person that
mines do exist. When we say mines
wo mean those that will pay t omuthing
above the working expenses. Tho rea
sons for thinking so uro, lirst, that tho
ore haslieen shipped to San Fraucisco,
Omaha anil Denver, iu as large quan
tities us ten tons, and the expenses of
shipping and freighting to tho railroad
are exceedingly largo, and uliil tho ore
paid money. Prejudicial persons un
acquainted with the facts are pleased
to say "pocket uro." Ten tons of pock
et ore without any development ought
to staiko tho public as rather absurd.
It would seem that the amount of oro
horo could not have existed only in
suitable surroundings. When wo huvo
the ore and proper formations we also
have tho right to say that wo have the
mines. Tho "Whitman" company
huvo now reached thu depth of two
hundred and fifty feet, with encoura
ging results. Tho company, through,
the able guidance of Professor Luce, ,
have dono more than all the rest of
tho camp. His work is not only a ere '
dit to himself, hut bids fiar to be a ben .
eiit to tho county, There is quite a ;
possibility of his boing held in check ,
from moving his machinery into camp.;
Cvntlnual wt hit ,
