To that end contributions are solicited, but they must poe undoubted literary merit to' obtain place and recogni tion here. Ku. Written for the Scorr. I TUB I) KATII ()!' MA Y. On Time'.-Jfast (lowing river, Vc dropped a few more tears, And May was lain with her beauties In a casket sealed for years. The grave was wreathed In flowers, By the tender hands of June; And a 'dirge was sung by the songsters O'er her grave at the sunny noon. And the echo lives forever; It lends a solemn air To the brighter hues of summer, And keeps her image there. I looked away in the di-tanee, Through the avenues of pines, To the trec-frinjred mountains, yonder, Where the evening sun reclines'; And there, like a benediction, 1 could see In the glimmering sky, The wavering streams of sunligh't, Mount upwards, far and high. And thev seemed like a billowy ocean. With a lone.lv boat in the bay; Like a a fleecy sail in the heavens, They glided faraway. Then like a silken curtain, The shades began to fall; The stars came out in volumes, Night hovers over all. And on, and on, and upwards, Shall the burnished sunrays go, And bear away on their liosoni The gems from here below, II. AV. II. La Grande Notes. Election over. Defeated candidates sore. Warm spring showers give new im petus to business. Now that the election is over, busi ness will resume its wonted course. La Grande precinct was carried by tne Jicpubiicans by bo maionty, vet "Bud" McAlistcr obtained 12 majority. W. S.

While in Portland sho will purchase a largo new bell for tho Presbyterian church. Jus. Hcndcrshott's letter denuncia tory of Hon L. R. Riuehart, was truly amusing. Tho idea of his refusing to support Mr. Rinehart becuuso he be lieved him (Rinehnrt) not a suitable man, or that his record was not clean, makes the old settlers in this part of the county laugh. 0. Ralston, of this place, will leave on Saturday morning for Chicago, via tho Short Lino. Whilo in tho East ho will attend the Republican National Convention, and witness the nomina tion of tho standard bearer or that party in the next presidential contest. and also visit his old homo and live over tho scenes of yore, in tho Hoosier state.

Tho election, Monday, passed off fptietl', but much interest was mani fested and, with few exceptions, every voter east a ballot. A number of resi dents were out of tho county and tho increase in number of votes cast over two years ago was only five. Since last election the republicans show a gain of six. B. B. Sanborn was elect ed Justico of the Peace and L. B. Stearns, Constable. Both are republi cans. J. L. Carter and J. V. Kim brell received tho highest majorities, being 03 and 38 respectively.
