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. 'This U u standing offer.

This is to certify that Dr. S. Har
mon has been at this place the past
two mouths and that from obsei valiou
of him. and of several ca-eS under his
treatment, I can safely recommend
him a anocciilist. of over average abil
ity, and as a lirst-elsss opliean of high
skill. My friends in Oregon who
may need his service, can rely that, he
is lint a charlatan, but a, gentleman of
merit and one whose skill will lie rec
ognized by all whos even are alllicted.
