WILL SETTLE AV
CUV JIT.
It seems that 1 lie Wullnwn reunify f
iniiymilcs nro so much i1ilcitM!il with
tlio cuiK'Iusiniii: arrived at by the board '
of commissioners iippuiiiltul by the
lcgishitmc to idjiisi mutters between
Union and "Wallowa I'onntics, that
they have coucluilcil to leave it to the
arbitrament of the courts of law, and
last. Saturday Med their pupcrfi appeal
ing the ease to the circuit court It.
was not exported here that they would
do this, as it was frit that the proposed
settlement was most liberal toward
"Wallowa county, and thai more was
granted them than Ihey coufd justly
claim, in owlcr thai no unpleasant
feelings might be engendered, and
that all might be settled amicably.
Concessions, in this spirit, have been
unavailing, ami wc now learn from
Attorney Sholton, whose linn lias
charge of the.cao for Union county,
that the kmc will be tried on it merits
mill lo that end ihey have iilso ap
pealed from the decision of Ilia board
of commissioners The papers were
served by Sheriff Hamilton this week,
and the case will come up for heating
nt the. .Inly term of coiirl . Wc under
Maud that Piper. Durleigh & Gowan
tiro tlio nlloinoys for "Wallowa counly.
It is not necessary for us to cuter
into u recapitulation of the llgures in
this attempted settlement, as they
liavo already been published in this
paper. Wo also refrain from express
ing our opinion in regard to this mat
ter, although we have looked into it
fully, lest it should raWo the bile of
our friend , the editor of thn Chieftain ,
Imt wc hiidiiiir, if he will allow u to
do so, Hint, when this, suit is untied,
it will hi fou. i,l Ui.il "Wallowa county
will linvo lo assume between foitr rind
Jive thousand dollars nioitt Indebted
ness than It would lllivo hail to, had
it seen lit to nbido by the settlement
FUggested by the board of commiss
ioners. A MOTHER '.MISTAKE.
The wisdom of the average Oregon
legislator is so profound, and the acts
passeM by the body to which he be
longs so far-reaching and mysterious
in their workings, that it take; the
ordinary citizen about six ii'onths af
ter adjournment to fiet quieted down,
and rid himself of the haunting fear
that something is liable to drop on him
at any minute will-out giving warning
of is approach.
It is now some mouths since tlio ad
journment of (he laf term, and peo
ple were beginning lo think the worst
had passed, and lo feel easier, but as
will he seen, entirely too soon, so fai
ns the people of the Wallowa are con
cerned. It is now discovered that
that counly was not provided for in
the act redistricliug the state into sen
atorial and representative districts,
and consetpieutly will he without rep
resentation in the next legislature,
See. 1 of tlio act creating Wallowa
county, which was approved Feb. 11,
1 SS7 , provides that ,
"The Iciral voters of Wallowa county shall
be eiilitleil to elect at the nciu ral cUrdon of
lKXH.anil thereafter until otherwise provided
by law, one ini'iulier of the house of icpu
sentalive!vliik I'nlon octiuty shall lie enti
tled to elect one; and the 'said Wallowa
eoeniv shall, for senatorial purposes, he an
nexed to theeiKlitceiith senatorial district,
and lie entitled with said district to one sen
ator until otherwise provided hy law."
The redistricliug act, howovor,
which was approved six days altor
ward Feb. 17th, provides that Un
ion counly shall have one senator and
one joint senator with Umatilla, and
three representatives, but no provis
ion of mention Is imulo ot "wfflltJwa
county. As the (jnotii of mnibeis al
Jowcd tliirly iu iho soiiatc. and sixty

out in tlio cold. iMtilhetir and other

Every man, whether he is a work
man in the common acceptation of the
word or not, feels a deep interest iu
the management of the affairs of the
city, county, and State in which ho
lives whenever ho owns a lioniu. 1 lo
is more patriotic, aptly says the
ilualrial G'ttxette, aud in many ways is
n bettor citizen than the man who dim
ply rents, and who lias but llttlo If
any assurance ot how long it will bo
before lie can bo ordeiil to move; to
which may bo added in many cases the
saving of more money. Of eourfo it
requires 6oino economy to lay up a
eullicicut amount of money to purchase
ami pay for a homo; but this very fact,
if properly carried out after the home
, is acquired, may bo tlio instrument of
furnishm"; the menus to commence, mid
prosecute a business upon your own
responsibility. True, in pome cases
it will require moroconomy. perhaps,
than wc arc now practicing. Itut ti c
question with every man, and especi
ally if he is the head of a family, is,
Can he afford it? That is, can he af
ford to live up his wages as fast as lie
earns them, without hiyintr up any
thing for the future? If he is the head
of a family, ho is obligetl to pay rent,
. and it does not require very many
1 years of rent paying to make up au
amount sullicicut to purchase and pay
for a comfortable home. You have to
pay the rent. This you say you can
not avoid and be honest. Well you

provide them a home of their own in
case anything should happen to you.
And I lie obligation to do this should
be as strong as the one to pay rent or
provide the other necessaries for the
comfort of your family. When you

iu th". public affairs that otherwise
you might consider were of little in

WALLOWA C'Ol NTV AND IlICSOUIlCIM.
Wallowa Valley, June (!, 1887.
Ed. Scojit: Thinking mayhap a
short letterfiom this section would bo
iwci..i1 nlilo to 1 1 in 1 1 of voor iiimii'ioiis
readers, I will endeavor to say a few
words concerning I ho Wallowa Valley
aud its resources and advantages wor-
Jin
hy of their perusal.
rue valley is uiviueii into inreo sec- i
tionr the Upper, Middle and Lower I
valleys, and consists of several tlious
and acres of excellent farming and
stock land, a great deal of which is al
ready taken mid considerable iniprove-nir-uts
made. Hundreds of nice,
abundantly producing farms dot the
valley and adjacent foothills. Many
small creeks and valleys are tributory
to the Wallowa, on all of which is
found line grain producing land easily
available aud easily fenced. Fine
stock range is found on the low hills
and table lands where already hun
dreds of horses, cattle and sheep graze
several months in tho year.
Tlio soil in the bottoms and valleys
is of an excellent and very productive
nature and easily domesticated. This
only remains. A person coining here
to start must not think that he can sit
down in a corner and that his laud will
be fenced and plowed and the crops
planted, but. he must icork and that
hard loo. This is no place for one wno
desiies to gain a livelihood without i
any eH'ott. The climate hero is as j
good as the state is blessed with, and
no one need complain it' it don't just :
meet their ideas ol what it ought to be.
Immense quantities of lino timber,
pine and tamarack, abound on the
mountain slopes and is not hard of
access, and several good saw mills are
situated in Iho valley where as lino a
variety of lumber as is seen iu tho state
can be found. Lumber is at. a very
reasonable figure, averaging about JfKI
per thousand.
Joseph, the present counly seat, is
the main town of Wallowa county, at
present, but it is iu a fair way to bo
left in the rear eie long, for tho people
have chosen a more central location
and started a town for the purpose of
locating tlio county .eat at the next
general election, some time next year.
WALLOWA (TIT
is to be tho future county seat and me
tropolis of Wallowa county, and,
although it is iu its infancy at present,
good men have been secured to take
hold and the work of building a town
has ulna y begun. One of, (if not the
best) school buildings iu tlio county is
located hero and well under way to
ward completion. A largo store buil
ding was raised a few days ago and
will he rushed to au early finish and
immediately beoeupied. The founda
tions for several more business houses,
as well as residences are down ami ev
crylMng eomcs with it an air of bum''
ncv.i. A priiitingolllco and blacksmith
shop will be the next additions to Main
fctrcvt, and will probably bo erected
during the next ten days. The town
site is on what is. known as Ilonnett
Flat, and is as admirably a located site
for a city as one could lindin a nionth'ri
travel over Kasteru Oregon. The soil
is of a gravelly nature ami very pro
ductive ,ncn piopei ly tended. A ie
P":1 has been circulated that alkali
nlioundd here in Unlnnite J quantities,
but fcuch is not Uto case of all. ICx
cellent water iNili bo secured by wells
or by a main taken from the river a
shoit distance above town. There is a
great dcil of opposition to tho new town i
on account of tho county seat ques- I
tion, as the owneri of tho other town
and the parties interested in dividing
tho county at tho last logiolatuiu were
directly connected with the view of so
curing tho county seat at. Joseph, but
the people, as a majority, think that u
more central location wijuld bo nioro
advantageous and also tlcsiro to have,
at least, a word to say us to the man
nijoinent of the county ntl'iiir, they, al
so, recognizing the game tit once.
Wallowa City, will and must have tho
COf.NTV SKAT.
Again Jotcph hat a newspaper owned
and edited by uuo of the sauiu cumixi
uy who own the townsito aud it very
seriously objects to anything which
will not in some way lead right up to
Joseph, and will not speak encouraging
ly of uiiv thin-.r, iniprfr nunt or other-
Em;
, say nnvtlnng derogatory of Joseph or
any of 'her wnva ami schemes to gain

which can find an excellent situation
at Wallowa city with all the advanta
ges and power needed to run a large
mill. Neither of the mills here make
very good Hour and the people are
erving for a eood, first class mill to
locate here. Ground for a mill can be
very easily secured at that place by
applying to Mr.Jt. F. StubblcJield. A I
limited number of lot, either for b;ui-
j ness or residence can be secured gratis
I by beginning to put up a house worth
