F. M. Sloctim, Agt-nt, Our Mm II. A Gigantic Enterprise The Inland Empire Woolen Manufacturing Co., of Union, Oregon, Established. OAP1TAL STOCK 8125.000 Stock Above Par and Being .Rapidly Taken.--Work to Commence Im mediately. For several cars lust a general fcelinir lias prevailed among the citi zens of Union that we ought to have a woolen mill at this place. Much has been said Irom t i nit: to time by this paper urging the entcrpise. Con siderable talk has been had. hut noth ing delinite has ever been (lone to put it into a tangiblo shape until recently. Some time n:ro, however, anting 'llc Jjeneral desire and increased interest in the matter, it took a tangi ble form and on Nov. loth, 1887, The Iuhnd Umpire Woolen Manufacturing Co. , of Union, va inroipoiated with a capital stock of $126,000, with W. T. Wright. A. E. Eaton and F. F. Baker as incorporators. Stork books were opened and a large amount of stock readily taken. We have re frained from saying anything about it this time until vo knew that" il was an assured thing. We now know that such is the case, and as the stock is rapidly being taken we leel justified in making the unqualified statement that a WOOLV.X MILL will be built at Union and Unit work ! will bu commenced upon it as soon as the company can perfect their arrange ments. 1 1 is proposed to erect a null costing from G7o, 000 to SSO.O00 with I euougn additional capuai reaiiy w run the null for the first year without being under the necessity of working on borrowed capital, in fact it is to be i on a solid basis from its very incep- i thin. The liitildiii"- of such no indlls- i i . i ; . . i .1 .. . trv i j,is community canuo but be 0f incalculable value not only to union but will be a benefit largely felt by every citizen of Union county. u other point in Union county, and probably not in Eastern Oregon, tf,!rs belter or even equal natural facilities for a woolen mill than does the enterprising town of Union. That a woolen mill will pay large interest on the investment there can be no doubt wbatevor. and the eager ness with which the stock is being taken is proof that men arc ready and willing to invest their money in this enterprise in preference to seeking borrowers at the present rate of inler est. When constructed and fully equipped it will, we believe, be the only wool en niill'hetween t lie Missouri and the Willamette rivers. There are only three such mills in the State the Ore gon City mill, the Brownsville mill and the Ashland mill, and at present, we believe there is not one in Wash ington Territory. The mills in the Willamette valley draw largely upon Eastern Oregon for their supply of wool, manufactur ing it into cloth and ready made clothing and ship it back to us. This mill will he in the center of a large wool-irrowinir suction which is one iUViU1f.iU Its location will be adja cent to many ot the large mining belts ot Eastern Oregon, Klalio ami eastern Washington, and the opportunities for furni-hing good cloth into any of these sections of territory are not equalled by any other place in the state. There is a very largo scope of country in every direction which can be supplied from this point at less cost than from any other. That this city will reap the reward she so richly deserves, docs not admit of a question. Property will bo en hanced at least twenty-live per cent of its present value as soon as the mill Ct !l I't tt riionsanus ot dollars win nc ,iisirilnitnd in this nlaco everv month hesides thousand of dollars that will find its wav among the citizens of the county. It will bring its glad uoings io a .-, i wm iiw prosperity; it will be the means of bringing more settlers within ourcity; -a wj oe meiu,.s u opening up I1UW jniliitrics in our midst; it will ue it staudinir monument of our enter- prising spirit and prosperity.

Owen, principal of the Union Public School wiw placed under arrest last Tuesday for punishing one of his pupils, beyond what, his parents thought, was warranted. He gave bonds, and the trial was Fet for Satur day. We know nothing of tho facts in regard to tho infliction, hence re frain from making any comment up on the matter at present. Mr. Fred. Simonis, of Eagle valley, was in town this week purchasing eup plies. He said ho was surprised at the way goods were being sold in Union ; that he could buy goods 25 per cent cheaper here, than in Baker City. Ho said he had saved several dollars by coining here, and that it would be bet ter for the farmers in Eagle vallev to borrow money and buy goon's in Union, than to bwap wheat etc. for goods in Baker City. That is the experience of all who come to Union. Our mer chants are talking, and talking to the point. Mark that down in your note book. CITY ELECTION.
