THE OKEGO?3 SCOUT. AMOS K. JONKS i:i)iron; City and County Official Paper. Saturday, Juno iih., J 887. Tho now county of Malheur Plaits out $:;0,0J0 in debt. This gives lli! people- tlicro ii chance to rt!t in and rusllo, Xolliiiitf like ti modulate in centive lo work. .Apothecaries, nml physicians must , under the new law, secure license from (lie county clerk to sell morphine and other opiate. The license costs u dollar, and failure to comply here with way result in a fine of not less than ij")0 nor morn than 9250. Days of voting on prohibition amend incuts in the Ftates in which they have hcen submitted: Texas, Thurs day, August !, 1887; Tetinesec, Thursday September L"J, -1887; Ore gon. Tuesday, Nov. 8, 1887: West Viiginiii, Tuesday, Nov. 0, 1888 AVe don't know what the probabil ities are for the end of the railroad di vision to he taken away from La Grande, but. the mere thought of it causes each sepcrate hair of the aver age citizen to "stand on end like quills iiioii the fretful porcupine." It is quite amusing. Probably while this set-to between linker and J,a Grande lasts, Union will get a little rest. It is now discovered that the session laws laws just published are lull of blunders, as iiual. One of the most glaring is in the act creating the otlicc of county recorder in cerlaineotinties. In the title to the net. the counties of Linn. Marion. Washington and Yam hill are the only ones mentioned; while in the body of the law Umatilla, Union, Clackamas and Clatsop are also included. The law will doubtless be void as to these Jailer counties. Talk is a good thing, but talk alone won't boom a city worth a cent. Take hold and make things go, and then there will be soiuthing worth talking about. Capital is a good thing, hut. idle capital is of no more benellt to a community than as much sawdust. Some man will talk about what ought to bo done way into the next century without turning a hand towards doing it. The above words of wisdom are from the Spokane He view and will apply to our town as well as to Spokane. Our linker exchanges announce that the prohibition campaign h:is com menced in linker county. An out door meeting was held Tuesday ev ening under the auspices of the tem perance organization of that city, and was addressed by Prof. Crowhurst. Mrs Skellon and others. The cam paign has not opened in Union county yet to any great extent. Prof. Crow hurst, we believe has been llgiiriuir around in the rural districts or this county, for some time, hut has not shown up in the metropolis. Proba he thinks we are past saving. The Wallowa Chivjhiin in an arti cle concerning tho report made by the board appointed to adjust matters be tween Union and Wallowa counties, says: As for the positions taken by Mr. (IoimIiiII anil his colleague, wo olinll nlve them credit for n loo strict repinl to the interests oflnton county to the injury of Wallowa county's lights ami Mucinly liopo their le gal ail vi-ors will not lead them into a ueUs anil lo.ing hiilt at law. This is tho sanio old song that wo linve heard from Hint suurco for sever al yours past . If everything don't go to mil, a howl of dishonesty is raised. Should Wallowa county seo lit lo have this matter ventilated in the courts, wo are of tho opinion that tho majori ty report ol thu commissioners will bo found not far from just and equi table. Union lias had another loss by tire, which would not have been the case had the city been equipped witli a good engine or proper water works. Wo have said this same thing a num ber of times before, but to no aval!. Tlint ii town of this size is without or dinary means of protection agniust lire, does not speak very well for tho business sagacity of Its business men, Had we a good stcntu tiro engine, tho eouseqiiunt reduced rates of insurance would pay for it in two years, if tho business moil and property holders of tho city uro too short sighted or loo bido-hoiind to euro for their own in terests, tho city council should tann the mutter into thoii own hands and see that tho proper means are proem cd to protect us In this respect, and levy taxes to pay for tho same. Talk is cheap and u iiiau can only ho judged by his actions. For the purpose of buying a lire engine or putting in wiiter works, wo will give fifty dol lars, or ih much according: Ui our possessions, us any man lu the. city will givo.
