The North Powder end of Union
county has not the highest regard for
Baker since its recent attempt at
gerry-mandering us into its domicil
without license. Tiuly self interest as
well as politics makes strange bed
fellows. The mining interest at Haines still
remains unabated. Eastern capital
ists, it is reported, are prospecting
them with the intention of purchasing
should results be satisfactory. So
mote it be.
Gen. .John S. Stevens, of Clover
creek, has recently been ofl'cred and
refused the handsome sum of $1200
for a line body of timber land, 100
acres in extent. Jt would appear that
timber lands are of tome value here
abouts. A six year old son of Thomas
Sponce's, on Bulger Flat, was kicked
in the face by a homo on Friday. A
wound two inches in length, severing
a wing ol the nose and pcuctratimr to
the jaw bone, resulted. Dr. Saylor's
services woie called upon to attend
him.
Rev. J. Newman, of the Unitarian

The following plan for caring for
paupers, adopted by Baker county,
seems to commend itself as efficient
beside having the merit of cheapness:
Baker county has paid during the
! past five years over $15,000 for the
caro of paupers. They aro kept by
! private contract, the present rato ho
! ing .f2000. The contractor has inad
! vertently discovered a way to make
I his bargain a profitable one. 1I fit
! ted up a place in the county at some
distance front town tor the reception
of county guests, and during the four
iiiuiuiis iii which ins uuiurnci nas neon
in force he has had but two junipers
on his hands. J-
rom this record it ap-
puirs that the averago pauper of that
district would nither scurry around
and maintain himself about town than
to bo ft-d, clothed mid sheltered by
public- bi-ncfuction and confined to a
lonely country home.

The Bull Run Water Bill, in my
opinion, is the biggest "job" that will
come before the pieseut Legislature.
The only positive anil formidable op
position to the bill is on account of the
provision that that $ 1 .aOO.OOO of bonds
issued and running for thirty years
are non-taxable. This bill was taken
up in the House on the fust instant,
after passing the Senate by a hand
some majority, and the amendment,
which would have made the bonds sub
ject to taxation, was voted down by a
a vote thirtv-eight to twentv-seven. I
The Governor has expressed himself
unreservedly as opposed to the bill, and
as he is certain to veto it, the question
nnu- ni-iwi.nu iNnlf. ftn snmn of tlin.i
who voted against the amendment :
upon the piomisc of, the Multnomah j
delegation to support their internal .
impiovcment bills), "Shall we vote to ,
pass this bill over the Governor's veto,
after Messrs. llunioifc Harrington have
gone back on us, or shall we give the
whole world to Portland and donate to
them our interest in the Moon and
Sun?" Wo predict that when this
bill conies back to the House with the
Governor's veto thereunto attached,
the veto will be sustained and Portland
will be justly rebuked for her parsim
inousness, as she should be.
There are already two hundred and
twelve bills on the calendar, and God
knows how many more awaiting the
onler of business, known as the "intro-
dtiction of bills."

act, the object ot wlncu is to change
the county seat of Union County, was i
introduced in the Senate on the first '

"Committee on Counties." Both Union j
and La Grande have a heavy loby here, 1
and we anticipate a lively time in the j
House when this bill makes its appear- i
mice there.
Hunter's bill, praj ing for an appro

bill passed the House on the afternoon

I. O. Iviilin, the redoubtable ex-editor
of the La Grande Journal, has a re-

Republican, and he was relegated to
the reportorial chair of tho La Grande
Journal, with the best wishes of the

'My father planted that windbreak"
said a young farmer we wero visiting
recently, as he pointed toward a tiiplo
row of magnificent willows, twenty
livo to thirtv ftet high, which boiilered
three sides of the ten acres of the farm
devoted to house, ba.iu, shed-, gardeu,
orchard, etc. Sbelteied by the wil
lows, ash, maple, blaek-wahnit and
other hard Jind valuable timber was
growing. Fruit trees and vines wero
strong and heidthy and had borne
bountifully in their toason; around
the whole place was an air of comfort
and thrift never found aiound a tree
less, shadeless, and wind-swept habita
tion. -"My father planted that windbreak."
The voice was tremulous with grati
tude and love, and thero was just a
promise of a tear in the eye, but a
tender smilo hallow
