Most of our readers will bo one dav late in receiving this issue of the Sroi'T. Wo thought it best to delay tliis issue a little in order to give our readers, as early as possible, tho result of tho democratic convention which lias just adjourned. A full report of it will be found ebewhero in this issue. So far as wo have been able to learn, tho nominations made arc in the main, satisfactory, parliculaily tho legisla tive portion of tho ticket. Jt id ap parent now that f-o far as the demo crats are concerned there are to ho no local issiu' raised in the coming cam paign, which it has lieen thought would be the cfteo. The article to bo found elsewhere on this page, entiled "Which Shall it He," was written sev eral days ago, and at that time it wau our intention to go to press before tho convention met. Wo aro exceedingly i)leascd to note that, so far as tho dem ocrats are concerned, it need not have been written. Tho republicans have not met yet in convention, and they may profit by it if they choose. If they do as well as tho democrats, we will have a pleamtnt campaign, devoid of poreonal animositv and tho ill feel ing engendered by local contentions. Tho result will be the effect of prevail ing political K-ntiment, and tho public estimate of tho qualifications of tho various candidates.

The prohibitionists of Clatsop coun ty met in convention last Saturday and nominated a full county ticket. The main thing to be kept in mind is the fact that the taxes on liquors and tobacco ought not to bo removed, at least while we pay taxes on sugar, salt, clothing, coal, iron and 11 thous and other articles of absolute necessity for daily life. At (he democratic county conven- article, and from various movement which have taken place recently in that burg, that they ."till hunker after the unattainable, and will again make an effort in that direction, If fair and honorable means aroused, there is about at much chance for La Grande to secure the county seat us there is for it to become the Slate Capitol. The schemers over there know this to bo the case, and if we are informed correctly will endeavor to attain their ends by strategy. Their iirst move will he to secure the nomination and election of such men to the House and Senate as will suit their purpose. They think 'they can succeed in this, then "through the instrumentality of these tellows they can succeed in giv .ing away tho southern portion of tho county to Maker, and ' they can havo a bill pascd ro-submittiug to the people the location of the county scat, then they hope to secure the county seat by a vole, 'the people can be manipulated properly. This will no doubt remind our readers of the dog and rabbit story "If the dog hadn't stopped, Isle." There are altogether loo many it's in it, and the whole scheme is so silly that it is li.irillv rrcillhln Hull Knnsililn men should so far let their local prejudices , "'llld' lsi S0Jfe'it that it excludes man blind them as to engage in it.

If our surmises prove correct . so far as Tin: Scour is con cerned if will at. once throw aside all political and other considerations and light out the campaign on local (pies tions alone. Wo tiro in hopes that it will not be forced to adopt this course. There is no occasion for any agitaMon of the county seat question at this time, and nono but simpletons will attempt il. Union is tho proper place for the county records to be kept, and always will be, unless it should entirely cease to grow, and Lit Graifdc should attain a population many times yrealer than it now has. That, how ever, is a contingency so far in the future that it is not worth while to discuss it now. When La Grande can present just reasons why it should bo favored above Union, and do so openly and fairly, its chums will no doubt bo considered impartially by the poofilo at large, and wo know they will he by Tin: Scout.

Oni ICaglo crook correspondent last week spoke of a proposed road load ing from that valley to Cornucopia, upon which some work has been done, and said if it could be llnished it would lessen tho distance a great deal and bu a much easier road to travel. The road will enter the upper end of to us emply. They do not simply come empty, for a ship must have about a third of a j cargo for ballast; she cannot sail with a light keel, but must have some heavy freight in the hold to keep her from turning over. As it is now, these ships, instead of bringing coal, sail, iron products, or other farm supplies, take in sand or stone, and they pay for loading it at Liverpool and unloading here SI. SO per ton. The farmer pays this, for it is added to the freight on wheat. If we could got freight on wheat reduced one-half , say 10 1-2 cents per 'ushel, of conrso the wheat would 1 bring that much more to tho fanner. ! At twenty bushels to tho acre this I would make the product of an acre of ' land worth 32.10 more to the farmer, I and this would he till profit.1 An ad j ditional profit of ?2. 10 per acre would I make tho land in the Columbia and ! Willamette valleys worth at least $21 j per acre more than the present price. . In all this there is no account taken j of the fact that we would get the im ported articles for CO per cent of vhat they now cost while imported from the Eastern states.
