Tin: Walloit'ci Signal reaches us this week very much changed for the bet ter in appearance. It is now called the Border Signal. J UK sweeping change in school books madoby the votes of the county school superintendents will bo read with much surprise, and with feelings of deep disgust, by the people of this stale. fl.... "VT "I" . 1. inn aow 1 orK supreme court, a few days ago, rendered a decision against the sugar trust, holding it to bo agaiiist public policy. Tin's settles tho question, and that curso must take its place among tho things that were. Tm: Ifosoburg 1'laindealcr has near ly six columns of advertisements of real estate for sale. J)oes that show a boom in real estate, or does it mean mat every one in that country wants to sell out and leavo the country? , That "Open, letter" or bribe offered to tho people of this county, by tho Lu Grnndcrs, is about the thinnest piece oi electioneering we have ever seen J ho people of this county are not fools and tho members of that committee will iind it out in duo time. Jn Indian valley precinct, nearly all who had signed tho petition lo'reloeate tho county seat, signed the remon strance, after considering tho matter. Korty-nino, petitioned to have their names struck oil" tho La Grando pe tition, and counted on the remon strance. All tiro opposed to dividing the county. Tin; elderly lamb who presides over tho Lastcrn Oregon Wliaugdoodle lift eth up his' voice and hleateth. lie bu-a-a-s at tlio "thimble headed editor of tho rag across tho street," and it is evident that something pains him. Poor lamb. It is apparent that he strayed into tho wrong pnsturo when he entered tho journalistic Hold. K. F. Mkai.i: was down in the north ern end of tho valley taking orders for tombstones(?) hut could not refrain from telling some of his supposed sym pathizers that of courso tho La Grand- cru would pay !i20,000 for tho county buildings, but tho plan was to lay tho foundation for a 00,000 court house. No wonder ho wanted to sell tomb stones. Every tax-payer would want ono thou. 'iiii: linker City democrat of tho 10th says that tlio people of tho south eastern portion of this county nro a unit in favor of being annexed to Ha- Jeer county. Wo do not know what tho democrat knows about it, but we do know what wo know, which is that tho above statement is falso as it is possible for anything to bo, and the editor of tho Democrat knows it to be false. Miiorin:i Owi;.v, of tho La Grando j Journal calls us some very bad names ' and imputes to us bad feeling towards his follow townsmen. Bro. (hvon was over hero a few days ago, giving ml- vicoto thu Unionites, which no doubt they will gladly accept, and as wo did not desire him to movo us all over just yet, wo punched him in the abdomi nal region, with our Fuller, as that scorned to bo tho niostroriginal part of him. Tjii: people of Sinniiiurville havo uwakencd to tho fact that just as soon tmMr. Hunt's railroad enters Grande Hondo valley, Summerville will rise, I'hcnix like, and that her location in tlio heart of ono of tho largest fanning tlistricts in tho county will innko her ono of tho most important and nour ishing towns in tho county. This they nro fully nwnro of, and tho Hunt prop osition has sot them to not only think ing but working; nnd thesu tilings thoy nro doing now with u huarty good will. No amount of the sophis tries nnd downright falsehoods that tho nchomers of La Grande can ad vance will havo iiuy other client than to convinco thctit that thu people of Ji Orimdo nro basely fuho to tho (rtio in ft-H-ktb oT Ihu ebiinty.i j Tin: La Grande ttazeU? is jjroatly worried over our action in the county scat nflafr, and vvonilcrs why wo can't take it calmly like the Whangdoodlc across tlio street. Mr. Gazette wo are JB)t built that way. Wo arc for truth and justico every lime, and our clien tele know where to lind tn. Wo are not dieted on mill: and water, and arc not hankering after oflicc like the fel low across the way, and can therefore afford to call things ly their right names. You will hear from us from time to time. Tin: La Grande paper try to influ ence tne railroad employees against us by saying that wo class them witli tramps and vagabonds, in naming the various elements that constitute the vote of La Gr.tndo. Tlio nreaumntion is that if we had occasion to say that a certain man's wealth contests ol horses, sheep, and skunks tii.it thoao papers would insist that we moan a horso is a skunk and a nkunk is u sheep. Verily those Lit Grande edi tors arc deep thinkers but are hard up for argument. Tin: reinonstrnnco to taking a votu on the county scat question was circu lated in North J'owder precinct by Mr. Kim broil and Mr. riutchineon. They inform us that lot! signatures have been obtained, 7 of them asking that their names bo taken oil' tho peti tion and counted on the remonstrance. There are 138 legal voters in that pro duct and we are informed that all but two will sign tho remonstrance. The great blow of tho La Granders that they had all of the North 1'owder pro duct wan about on a pur with the rest Lf (hoir wlmlwork Tin: peoplo of La Grando do not propose to pay for the county build ings, but an amount only equal to tho value of thccounly buildings at Union. This is what one of the ptimo movers said to an attorney of this oily. They propose to put up n bond for the amount. 'J hoy very well know that such a bond could not bo enforced. l'ho .Supreme Court has decided so right along. I'ublic policy slops in, and demands that inducements of this kind nro to bo held entirely worthless. Tin: Haker City Jtevcillc says: "A subscription paper has boon cir culating to-day among our business men, the object being to raise funds needed to push tho matter of annexing the southeastern portion of Union county to Maker. An tho project scorns to meet with favor all around, there is but little doubt of its going through tho lcgislatuio all right." Jt would no doubt bo a paying in vestment if the business men of Uaker City could, by means of tho "fund?," thus raised, manage to annex that por tion of Union county. Jt must bo done, however, against tho will of the great majority there, if it is done at all. The Hunt railroad will put a di (To rent face on tho matter. It will not bo two years till Lower Powder, Eagle and I'ino, are connected with Union by a railroad. Tho chances of tho littlo gano of Maker City and L i Grande, to benefit themselves by ruining Union county, are begining to look very slim. 1mmi:i)IAti:i.v on learning that Un ion had a man m tho Suniniurvillo precinct setting forth in their true light the intentions of tho La Grande peoplo, and their earnest helpers, the people of Uaker county, to have tho southern portion of Union county sot off to Maker county. Lu Grando sent Dr. M. 1 llonan, .los. Maker and Hen. (limply down to counteract, if possi ble, tho rol state of things. Woll thoy had a mcoting und denied every thing about wanting the county di vided, etc. The Union man mul them an article from the Baker City papers showing him to be correct in his assertion, llonlso offered to put up one hundred dollars if those gentle men would tell tho eitixens, publicly, tho whulo truth. Did they do it? No. Jno. Makor couldn't htand it and went home. Dr. Ilouaii had a very press ing call home, lie couldn't I'taud it. Hon (i randy, ditto.

ThP committee appointed at the railroad meeting last Saturday evening reported as follows : We, your committco appointed on the Hunt railroad subsidy, beg leave to submit the following resolutions and rocommendations for your considera tion: WliKsrjAs, The extension of the Orc- j on 1111(1 Washington Territory Bailroad j froni Coulcrvilto, Umatilla County, to Union, 1'nion county, Oregon, via Snmmerville, would place our people in easy freight communication with an opon sea on J'ujjet sound, thereby opening to them t ho best markot pos sible for their products of all kinds, and at the same time freeing them j from i,H l"esof extortionate freight j rnl(-'s thoroon, and, t '"""""'0' road would greatly enhance the value of all property in our county, encour ! ago immigration, inspire confidence in ! manufacturing enterprises, and greatly j develop our material resources of all kinds. Therefore be it Itesolvod, J. That we, the people of Union and vicinity, entertain with favor the proposition of G. W. Hunt, to extend tlio O. &. V. T. railroad from Centerville, Umatilla county, Oregon, via. .Summerville, to Union, Union county, Oregon. 2. That we do hereby pledge our- '.selvos to use all honorable means to raifo the subsidy of .f 1SO,000 deman ded, nnd in furtherance of said enter prise wo earnestly ask our neighboring towns and communities and all of our people tributary to said proposed lino of toad, to heartily co-operato with us in this matter. II. That in order to further this en terprise with tho necessary prompt ness nnd dispatch, wo recommend that meetings of the citizens of the various precincts in Union and Wallowa coun ties bo held at as early a date as pas sible, and that such meetings appoint executive committees to co-operato with the executive committee hereaf ter recommended. 1. That an executive committee of seven bo appointed by tho chair, to take charge of this movement, as rep resentatives of Union and vicinity. 5. That a railroad mass meeting for Union and Wallowa counties bo called to moot at the court house in Union, Oregon, on January 22, 1SS!), at 2 o'clock p.m. at which G. W. Hunt bo invited to be present. T. II. CliAWFOHD, A. .1. Hack kit, President SecretAry. Turin; nro in Grande Hondo valley 2.r)J,9Ua.acres of land capable of rais ing, if all put into wheat, (iotj.OOOi bushels; ii mi put into oats or barley, would yield 10,000,000 bushels oats or 12250,000 bushels of barley. Allow ing 0,000,000 of wheat for tlio market, at an average price of 50 cents per bushel would give tho farmeas of this valley $.'1,000,000. Hurley tit f0 cents, $0,000,000, allowing 12,000,000 bushels foi the market. Oats, allowing 0,750, 000 at HO ecus, would give $2,025,000. This vast area, if well cultivated, is capable of producing these results, whether in a crop of grain, or in varied crops. Supposing tho farmers i$hip 4,000,000 bushels wheat and there is a saving of 5 cents por bushel, tho sav ing in one year would roach tho enor mous sum of $200,000. This is not all the saving, for freights would bo correspondingly low on shipments of all kinds of produce both ways, hence tho farmers would be bouofited more than thoy anticipate.
