hereafter.
Union precinct gave a majority of
twenty-eight in favor of the prohibit
ory amendment. But little more than
one half of the legal voters of the pre
cinct went to the polls, probably on ac
count of the inclemency of the weather.
We arc requested by the president

When "consistency" tries to get in
work with its near front leg and its off

ance is not graceful, to say the least.
Lost. On the road ' between Sum
merville and Union, probably near
Chas. Hamilton's, a memorandum
hook containing a note in favor of R. j
N. Oliver from Union Milling Co.
The finder, by returning the same to
R. N. Oliver or Union Milling Co., will
be suitably rewarded.
The miners at Sanger, a few days
ago, became exasperated at the very
ancient butter that was being served
to them each meal ut the boarding
house, and seized the barrel containing
a large quantity of it and blowed it
to smithereens with giant powder.
The trees in that vicinity aro said to be
greascy with what the landlord alleges
to bo butter. This is rather u novel
way of abating a nuisance.
The drivers of the different convey
ances between town and the depot, re
sort to various tricks in order to secure
the hauling of the unwary traveller.
An amusing incident occurred the
other day which is as follows: Fred.
Jamebon, the driver of Benson's team
after considerable rubtling secured a
Chinese passenger, und after plac
ing him, as ho thought, safely in the
wagon, proceeded in search ol more. ,
On his return he had in tow a coin- j
mercial traveller and was feeling quite
jubilant over his success, but you can t
imagine his surprise when he discover-
ed that his former victim had left him
and got into Elliott's 'bus. A few
minutes later the respective drivers
met, and in a spirited word-fight tho I
facts elicited were,-that Mr. Hoi brook
by representing to the Mongolian that j
the hack he occupied was bound for t
La Grande, induced hun to change
conveyances. Fred swears vengeance,
aiid s'ays the IikJ Is tWt yvf.
THE PINE CHEEK ROAD.
The case of Union county against
the Pine Creek road contractors, as our
readers arc aware has been in the
courts for sonic time. Recently the de
fendants have been trying to "compro
mise the case, and proposed to Judge
Ooodall to do as much more work on
the road as he might deem reasonable,
providing the suit against them should
then be withdrawn. The judge think
ing this might be as good a way as
any to settle the matter, consented," and
as was stated in our last issue, wont
out on the road with them to lay out
the work he would require to be done.
It seems that they were not willing to
comply with the terms, and a disagree
ment was the result. They all return
ed home and the matter will be fought
out to a finish in the courts.
If this road had been finished as it
should have been, it would have
proved of incalculable benefit to Un
ion county. Unfinished as it is, it has
already been a great benefit, and it is
only a matter of time when it will be
made a broad and substantial highway.
We are in hopes the matter will be
pushed rapidly, and the contractors
or their bondsmen made to complete
the road strictly accoidingto the terms
of the contract.
GOOD ADVICE.
Push your business, advertise it. Call
your neighbors, acquaintances and
friends, to look in upon your stock by
inviting attention in well worded adver
tisements to what you have for sale.
Dim i thniK the world keeps von in re-
niembrance; it
Remember, if

is too busy for that,
you were dead, they
talk about von in a
week, becue you would not be on
hand to invite their attention and re
marks. So, if you shut yourselves in
your stores, and don't speak out re
minding them that you are still in the
land of the living, they will imagine
you have gone to the other shore, and
will visit thoe stores which keep
themselves and their business well rep
resented and repeated in the newspa
pers. Indued, this is true as true can
possibly be. The men who advertise
freely are the men who sell freely; this
is true tho whole civilized world over.

Dispatches from the recent elections
in the cast indicate that the New York
state democratic ticket has been elect
ed by a plurality of from 8,000 to 15,
000. One of the great political sur
prises is the great cut in Henry
George's vote, who only received .'14,
000 against f)S,000 last year. Increased
strength is shown by the prohibitioists.
Mr. A. F. Maxwell has been appoint
ed passenger and ticket agent of tho
O. R. & N. Co. Mr. Maxwell has
acted as temporary agent for several
months past, and everybody will bo
pleased that he has been appointed
permanently. Courteous, affable and
gentlemanly at all times, he is the
right man in thu right place.
The Pioneer Relief Fund Association
of Cornucopia, will give an entertain
ment on Thanksgiving day for the
purpose of raising funds to build a
hospital. Thanksgiving services will
be held in the morning, and a grand
ball and supper in the evening. No
pains will be spared to make it an en
joyable event, anil doubtless there will
be a great many visitors from various
parts of the country, present. Read
the advertisement and programme
elsewhere in this paper.
Why buy from imigrating agents of
whom you know nothing, eitlierof their
responsibility or the eharccter of their
goods, when there are responsible deal
ers located near you, who carry full
and complete lines of all farm and mill
machinery and implements, and whoso
success it is for your best interests to
support with yoar patronage? Frank
Bro's. Implement Co, of Island City
request your consideration of their
claim, and refer you to your neighbors
who have had dealings with them. 3

We aro all divided on the prohibi
tion qucs.ion. A great many did not
thoroughly understand tho principles
involved, so voted against it, to the
detriment of the cause.
John Jarrett in a recent speech sta
ted that if the Lord had told Adam on
tho day ho breathed the breath of life
into him that he would give him $25,
000 a year for taking caro of tho gar
den, and Adam had kepi tho job and
drawn his salary every year till now,
ho still would not have drawn as large
a sum as Wm-II. Vanderbilt left at
his death. Still we find that if -Adam
while living in tho garden had found
one of our big copper cents and placed
it at compound interest with Satan or
the serpent, at 0 per cent, he would
havo by this timo have more money
coming to him than there is on tho
face of tho globe. It is in this way
that interest gets ahead of wage ear
nings. Homo.
