For some time past tho Portland and

in which it purports to give a list of ! tie and hogs from points as far cast as Nc-
all the towns, with population of each,
m Union county, omitting North
Powder. Whether it was the neglect
or purpose of the writer to ignore our
existence, wo know not, but consider
an apology is duo. North Powder is
a town, and ono of considerable im
portance, containing quite a voting
population which our friends at that
metropolitan village will not forget
when assistance is wanted to still fur
ther tho interests of their booming
burg. Burn all the Powder you please
in booming up La Grande and we will
not "kick," but do not in future silent
