Covo will have a considerable amount of hay for export this season. ii'wwi at;.,.,.. r -.,.. .ii 1 1.... :.. town this week, lie will remain only ii few days. A representative of the new paper to he published in Union is doing the town this week. John Martin's new residence, being built by Koenig brothers, is approach ing completion. The summer session of school in the Chandler district, Miss Nellie Stevens, teacher, closed last week Thos. DeBorde started for Nebraska the first of the week and will bo ab- I sent some lime, visiting relatives, j The mutch game of ball between North Powder and Grand Hondo, post I poned. from the late tournament, will ! bo played in Union early next month. Kobt. Cochran is down from Coeur d' Alene aud will remain some time. Knowing ones whisper there is u mag net in town for the gallant Bobert. Tame raspberries are quite plentiful in Cove this season. A good many loads have been taken to the neighbor ing towns, where they meet with ready sale. E. P. McDanicl of the Cove Dairy Co., has returned from a successful trip taking orders for cheese. He sold large bills to tho railroad contractors, (L V Hunt and J. II. Smith. The Cove and La Grande ball play ers were invited to a line dinner at Ba ker City, Priday, by Chas. Duncan. Charlie is well known for his generosi ty and has succeeded in discovering a tender spot with tho ballists. B. J. Cochran and ton, Bobt., have driven their horses from Coeur d' Alene and will take them to Long val ley. They have a very high opinion of that country as n stock range and ay they can put up an abundant sup ply of hay for winter use. The Cove sports are highly pleased to know Union will given baseball tournament this fall. At tho late games at Baker City, the business men expressed themselves perfectly satisfied with tho indirect benefits re sulting from their tournament and said if another was proposed they would willingly subscribe double the amount for prizes. A. B. Robinson, daughter and Miss Eherstein, returned, Tuesday, from a tiip to Cornucopia and Sanger. Thev report matters very quiet and at a stand still at the former camp, but activity at the Sanger mine. The par ty was well pleased with the courtesy and attention shown them by the su perintendents in conducting them through the mines and mills. Moxley Howell returned this week from the stock rango in the vicinity of Glenn's ferry on Snake river. He brought in most of his cattle and will drive them to Long Valley. Ho says the great number of sheep driven into Alturas county has ruined the ranges for other kinds of stock. Cattlemen are discouraged and would sell if there was any market. They will all bo forced to seek other rangeK before win ter. The sheep have even rendered the water running out of Camas unlit for cattle and horses. I have discovered that I am a genu ine mascot for myself and club. Mark. I had lots of fun taking in Baker City suckers; they bito like sharks. M. We arc a success with soldier nines, but only second class with civilians and professionals, but what can a nine do when their main battery is used up? Ballists.

Mr. Carroll and Lloyd made a trip to the mountains, this week, in quest of fish and game and report an abun dance of both, but evidences of such were lacking on their return. American natives loaded down with "olalohs" make their appearance here during the week and disposed of their cargo at good prices quite readily. Mr. Peter King had fortunately taken out an accident policy a few weeks prior to the accident which befel him and is now drawing $15 per week and the company foots the bill. Six covered wagons, drawn by horses and mules and loaded down with camp equipage, women and children, parsed here on Wednesday on their way to Washington Territory. They came "the plains across" from Kansas. A dilapitatcd specinian of a tramp perambulating our streets at nightfall, one evening during tho week, unfortu nately atracted too much attention, thereby spoiling the "funny freak" of a festive young man. Tramps are no go here.' A most beautiful transformation of colors in tho clouds occurred on Sun day evening at sundown by reflection of the sun's rays, outrivaling the grandeur of the famous paintings of the "Old .Masters." A half dozen carpet biigs, as many bundles, squalling baby, two or three older children and two fussy women trying to get oil' on the morning train is what taxed the ingenuity of a cer tain hotel proprietor hero recently. After a vain attempt they gave it up and. remained over another day with better success. Miss Emma Hand, of Clover creek, underwent a surgical operation on Tuesday for the removal of an exasta sis or bony tumor from the groat tee. She stood tho operation well and is quite happy to bo rid of so great an annoyance. Mr. .las. Gates, foreman at Smith's mill near Hillgard, came up on the train, Wednesday morning, to place himself under medical treatment again. His old all'ection of heart trou ble has again made its appearance and his condition is similar to that when ho arrived here in tho spring. The North Powder Baseball Club returned homo Sunday evening from Baker rather chop fallen on account of not scoring a game at the tourna ment. They met with a Waterloo all around anil attribute their "knock out" to neglect of practice prior to tho games which is even too true. Mrs. Gus Weisncr and two children, of tho mills on Anthony creek, were out in tho mountains, a few days since, berrying, when by chance thoy became separated and bewildered aud re mained in the mountains over night. Thoy were found the next day a few miles away from homo, all safe. Ow ing to tho fact of the Blue mountains being infested with dangerous wild beasts, they escaped very luckily, Copp's Lund KcvicAV. Washington, D. C, July 19, '88. Kditok Scout: Of courso, tho person who initiates an entry for public land under what ever law or method of disposal it may bo, is tho person having tho primary right and being legally required to make final proof, whero such step is necessary to perfect title undor the provisions of tho law. Tho question as to who may make Mich proof in tho event of tho death of the eutryman is ono of general imtur est and no little importance, and re specting which tho public at largo has very little knowledge. THE J'UK-KMITIO.V J.AWH aro the oldest of tho so-called "Settle ment Laws," and stand first in order. A claim lmving been initiated by set tlement uud in chio time by filing of k7 declaratory statemrnt, may be perfect ed upon tlie death of the settler by tln heirs of for their benefit. That is, if the heirs have reached tho age of twenty-one years, they m.iy either col lectively r by one of th. ir number, acting for all, submit tin- necessary proofs and make payment for the land, whereupon tho patent will issue to "The heirs" of the deceased cntrynian. If none of the heirs have attained their majority the final .proof aud pay ment may be made for tho benefit of the heirs by a guardian duly appoint ed. The widow, as a gem nil rule, is not entitled to perfect the claim of her deceased husband in her own right, but in States where by law she Ks one of tho heirs, she is entitled to all lights ami benefits accruing to other heirs, mi? hi)Mi:sti:.1) i,.uv, ! next in order, awards the land em ! braced in the claim of i deceas 'd cn i trymaii, first to the widow. If there bo no widow, the right and fee inure ' to the benefit of such "infant child or childien" as may survive the death of ! the parents. In such ease tho land may be sold for the benefit of the child ' or children, or title may be perfected I for their benefit, in the usual manner, by duly appointed guardian. There ! being no wulow or "infant child" tho right'descends to the heirs or devisee of the. deceased ontryman and tho proof may be made by any ono of them for the benefit of all, and patent will issue to "The heirs." Where pat ent is to be issued for the benefit of "infant child or children" the full name of each and every child mubt appear therein. INKA?n: I'KltSO.NS. Where entries or claims have been duly initiated under thr homestead and pre-emption laws by persons who have sub.-equently become insane, the same may bo at once perfected by any person duly authorized to act for the eutryman during his disability, it be ing necessary to show in the 'final proof only that tho lequireinents of law were fully complied with by tho cntrynian, up to tho time of becoming insane, and that the insanity exists. TiiM TiMnr.it (ji'i.Trnr. law. While the timber-culture law does not require the actual residence upon the hind enteral, yet bv reason of the cultivation, etc., required, an entry niado by its authoiity may fairly be considered a "settlement claim." Proof upon an entry of this class can be made by or for tho benefit of tho heirs only. Till-: DI3SHUT IA NO I..UV. Is applicable only to the' States of California, Oregon, and Nevada, and the Ti rritories of Washington, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico and Dakota. The Until proof and payment may he made by or for the ber.elit of the huira, or by a ouiy appoinreu aomjnieinuor. Tin: timiii:i: i,anj i,aw, operative only in tho States of Califor nia, Oiegon, and Nevada, and Wash ington Territory, requires pioof prece dent to entry. This must as a rule, as any one ran see, be made by tho paity applying to lnako the entry. Exceptions to the rule are made, how ever, and whero tin applicant who has initiated a claim, and commenced tho publicalfon required, dies beforo the expiration of the prescribed period of publication, tho entry may bo perfect ed by an administrator for tho benefit of tho heirs. THi: MINISfi 1.AWH. The proofs required under tho laws relating to mineral unities muv bo made any parly in intercut, or tho duly authorized agent of ,uch party. Senator Stewart informs mo that ho does not expect or desire Senate bill No. 1888, amending the mining laws, to pass at this session of Congress. Ho invites correspondence with tho view of making the bill perfect beforo its passage. Copies of the bill can bo obtained from Senators aud Beprosent ative.s. As it passed tho Senate the date of relocating mines was changed from January 2nd to August 1st. Tho proposed law allows an individual to make only ono location on a vein of twenty acres of placer, and prevents a pcrbon from relocating a niino who has once abandoned it. There U no other monsuro before Congress adeuting mining interests that has any prospect of becoming a law during the Fiftieth Congrws. II EN BY N. COBB. POK SALE.

Small fruit crops very help von good, and price average. Hay harvest progressing, but awful hot. W. II .Huffman, of Pyle canyon, is on the sick list. John Ilnvnex h is 1:0110 to Covo to stack hay for Mr. Yowe'l. Sheep herds are moving oft to better range for fa'l. The small boys are saving up their shekels for the coming revolution in the circus line. For the benefit of the public we will announce that tin re was 11 partial eclip.-e of the 1111 on last Sunday night. Mr. V. M.Slocuiii, the genial imple ment man of Union, was rusticating in Telncaset, Wednesday, lie looked as jolly anil good natuivd as over. The few Chinese constituents of lien Harrison in Tolooasol expend about fifteen cents a year for eggs and so we will vote to keep them here. Three bundled years ago, to-day, the "Invincible Armada" of Spain was almost annihilated by the veterans of England, in the river Thames and one year from to-day, Ben Harrison will have been defeated and .-looping in the silent tomb of political failure, covered with the tender llowers of party con solation, while his conscientious con stituents will gaze on, in silence, at the wise, judicious administration of the champion of American Democracy! B. W. II. LAND DECISION. The following letter from tho La Grando Land olliee regarding timber culture entries explains itself: La Grande, Or., July 19, 1888. G. A. llartnian, l'endleton, Or. Dear Sir: Inclosed I return to you the application of A. L. Gordon to make final nroof on his timber-culture entry No. :i(i, made March !), 18SU i You will hud by refeienco to I "Copp's Land Owner," (Vol. XV, Bago 129,) of May 1, KS88, in the case of j Ilcnrv Hooper, involving the sullieicn- cy of his final proof on his timber-culture entry, the Hon. Secretary Vilas, in his decision, holds that the eight years of cultivation must bo computed from tho time the full acreage of trees, seeds and cuttings are planted; and this decision is binding on this olliee. Toerefore, timber-culture ontrynien need not apply to make final proof un til they have fulfilled the requirements or said decision, via: That tho full acreage of trees, seeds and cuttings have been planted and cultivated for at least eight years on their timber culturo entry.

A number of the republicans of La, Grande and adjoining precincts met at the ( !ouncil chamber at this place 011 Tuesday evening of this week, and after a general discussion of the sub ject, decided upon tho organization of a campaign club to be known as "Tho Ameiican Protective Turin 'Club of La Grande, Oregon," and a temporary or ganization was edeeled by the election of W. J. Snodgniss as temporary Chair man and J. W. Strange as temporary Secretary. The object and purposes of this club, tts generally expressed, are to labor for the election of tho can didates of tho republican party, inas much as Unit party believes in and ad vocates the doctrine of Protection of American Industries and is opposed to Free Trade and sectional protection us promulgated in the Mills hill which recently passed tho House of Bepre sontatives. A general invitation is ex tended to all such as believe in tho doctrine of Prelection; who opposo tho attempt of the democratic majori ty in the lower branch of Congress to remove tho tarill' from the products of tho northern states and retain it on those of southern states; who do not approve the attempt to destroy tho great wool-raising industries of the United States in the interest of foreign cheap labor, and such as believe in tho elevation of the condition of the laborer to a higher plane of intelli gence, and not his degradation to tho condition of the pauper labor of Eu rope, to come and join. Such as can not attend at the next meeting of the club, on next Tuesday evening tho lllst inst., will please send their names to the Secretary or Chairman. A WABNING. Tho modes of death's approach aro various, and statistics show conclusive ly that more people dio from disease of the throat and lungs than any other. It is probable that everyone without exception, n ci ives vast numbers of tubercle germs into the system and whero thceo genus fall upon miitablo soil thoy start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation in the throat aud if allowed to continue their ravages they extend to tho lungs producing con sumption and to tho head, causing cn, tarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed to proceed will in time cause death. At the onset you must act with promptness; allowing a cold to go without attention is dangerous anil may lose you your life. Ah soon us you feel that something is wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils, obtain a bottle of Bosehco's Gorman Syrup. It will give you immediate relief. I'HHSO.VAI.. Mr. N 11.
