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

I had lots of fun taking in Baker City

We arc a success with soldier nines,

Messrs.
D. Beverage, Chas. Eppin-
ger, H. Bothchild, Mr. Gilkinson and
the Parker boys took in tins games at
Baker, returning on the special, Sun
day evening.
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,

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.

Dear Sir: Inclosed I return to you

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

of W. J. Snodgniss as temporary Chair

of this club, tts generally expressed,
are to labor for the election of tho can

much as Unit party believes in and ad
vocates the doctrine of Protection of

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

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.
