A llilrf Ujpu of Il Jinny Advantages
nml Mm IrcKint Situation.
Mit. Editor :
Your readers will pardon mo if I
give a few observations on the present
condition of nfl'airs in Union county.
There are a number of forces at work
that are agitating the minds of the
people of our county, and well they
may.
If the people sue enterprising
enough, and I believe they are, there
is no ronton that ours should not be.
one of the first counties in tho slate.
It is the opinion of the writer that
Union county has greater and more
varied resources than any other in the
state. Homo of our resources are the
following: Th raising of grain, such
as wucar,, oats, barley and rye; of
fruit, the most important of which aro
apples, pears, plums, prunes, and all
tho small fruits; of buy, which is pro
duced in great abundance. Uesides
these productions we have great mil.
oral wealth, largo bodies of timber and
excellent water powers.
Our water powers are the Grande
Hondo river, Catherine, Kaglo and
Pino creeks, besides numerous other
smaller streams.
Our bodies of timber aro on the
Eagle ereek and JJluo mountains,
tho finest body of timber in tho Hluo
mountains being north and west of
Elgin, remain yet untouched.
Our mineral wealth lies in tho Ea
gle creek mountains. At Sanger the
C. T. Uradley Mining Co, with a ten
stamp mill, have an out put of $70,000
per month. Tho Oregon Gold Mining
Co. at Cornucopia have in the Jo.l
Jacket a mine that probablv could
not be bought for half a million dol
lars. Anil other ledges in the same
district that are hardly developed into
mines have standing oilers of from
.f 2,0IM) to ffm,(HH).
Ours is aUo a stock raising country.
While wo do not raise as many cattle
as formerly, tho cattle men have
turned their attention to tine stock.
Some of our farmers are turning
their attention to raising hogs on a
large scale. Tho production of wool is
no small enterprise. And our liorscw!
I'll venture tho aserrion that there
an ntoro thoroughbred horses in Un
ion county than in any other county
in Eastern Oregon.
All these resources aro the making
of a rich and prosperous county.
The first thing the people of this
county need is cheaper transportation
of their produce to tido waters, or what
is the sumo thing, to a better market.
They have now within their reach
this much needed competing lino of
transportation in tho proposed exten
sion of the Oregon and Washington
Territory railroad. One railraad is to
a great extent a detriment to a coun
try, while two aro a benefit if they do
not pool their interests and thus vir
tually become one.
Tho benefits to bo derived from the
building of the (). W. T. road to
Union aro various. Jt will enhance
tho value of real estate out side of tho
towns, it iH safe to say, one-third,
while town property in most of the
towns will be doubled and probably
tripled in value. Farmers will realize
from four to eight cents per bushel for
wheat and from threo to live dollars
per ton on hay more than they do
now. These two items alono would
pay tho subhidy in two or three years
anil then stand as a lasting profit from
that time on.
Hie indications are that Union
would bo a terminus for only a short
time and that the (). it W. T. would
push on to Hoiso City to connect with
the Chicago .t Northwestern and thus
give two trans-continontal lines. An
other bonelit would bo the increase in
the taxable property of our county
and thus lighten the burden of taxa
tion, which we aro thankful to say is
much lighter than in some of our
neighboring counties.
Another matter that is stirring tho
people to some extent, although of
much less importance than tho pro
posed railroad, is tho county seat
question. The most important part
of this question for tho lax-payers to
consider is the liability, in the event
of the relocation, of throwing the
county deep into debt. Should La
Graudo put up a bond it is no better
than their wool since it could Rot bo
forced in tho courts as is shown by a
parallel ao tested in tho courts of
low a.
Tho act submitting tho ro-location
provides that tho county court shall
appropriate not nioro than $25,000
and a tux of not more than i'J mills
shall bo lovicd for tho purpose of build
ing eoiiuty buildings, annually. Do
you sco tho iudobtcdncM that that
leads IpT I bcliovo tho tux-payers
will seo nml understand this and say
by their voles that tlio county ecixt
bhull remain whoro it is for tho pros-

Nai-i.ks, (Italy,) Jan. 20, 1889.
Editor Oukoon Scout:
A volcanic shimmer seems to grow
with the breeze this morning. It is
too near the lingo volcano of history
to be pleasant. One can hardly feel
safe for being afraid of an eruption.
I .Naples is a beautiful city. The ha; is
' ono of tho 'finest, in the south. It
spreads away in silvery sheets for
miles and miles. Some of the little
islands near the shore break off in ab-
t
I runt and ragged crags. The water is
bluer here around tho dark little dill's I
than in other places.
Fruits of every southern description
grow in abundance, and tho place
bears a kind of queer feeling. Its
history is cracked with earthquakes
Its name almost re-echoes a volcanic
groan. It is a pity that such a conn
try should be tho victim of such sav
age disasters.
People bore are very lazy. Even
tho energetic American tourists grow
into a sort of lazy state after being
aiound among tho sombre ruins and
the lowering peaks of Naples.
Uusiness grows livlior with tho day,
and at noon tho streets swarm with
men in carts, women on foot, and
children in most every kind of con
veyance.
The Paboli gardens are like Central
Park, New York, ono constant drift
of men, women and children. All na-
tionalites find their wav to this city.
Poggars are numerous, and some of
them are pitiful looking specimens
Tlie buildings here aro of more recent
construction. Things do not bear
that aspect of ancient greatness that
hangs around most Italian towns.
It was onlya few years ago that a
fearful earthquake shook the entire
valley of Naples from its very founda
tion. It has recovered, partially, hut
some remaining traces are still to be
found.
Ml Vesuvius is tho place to which
Spartious, the Unman gladiator, and
his escaped companions, retreated
when pursued by tho irate emperor.
Here amid the sulphuric ashes, and
tho heated bowlders of this seething
orator, then dead, these valiant heroes
went to nurse their first-born dreams
of freedom. It was a bold strike, but
they were soon overcome and died
fighting for their own freedom, and
not for tho amusement of a beastly
ruler. I low many a mnulv strike has
been made for liberty in the southern
fields and among tho bonny gcenes of
Italy, and how many of them have
been stilled oro they were realized!
