The graduating cxcrchiM of the Union High School took place at Wrights' hall last Friday evening, and was nn occasion of great interest to the patrons ofthe school as well as the public generally. The grad uating pupils were MNs Lois Stewart. Mis.i Hcttic Dobbins, Miss Mamie Hukrr, Miss Mary Goodall. Miss Kittic Miller, Mies May Miller and Willie Wright. The grad uates acquitted thcinelves creditably and appeared deserving of the honor eonfered upon them. The stage was nicely arranged. The music and literary exercises, through out, were highly appreciated by the large audience. At the close, Prof. Ifackctt ad dressed the class, and in a few well chosen words awarded the diplomas. On Saturday evening the pupils of the various dcpatircnts of the school, the teachers, and patron generally, assembled at the hall for the purpose of having a jtoml sociable time, and succeeded admirably. A sumptuous supper was spread, and with speeches by the little folks, conversation vocal and instrumental music the evening was wiled inot pleasantly away. We have bad a most excellent corps of teachers this winter, and the school has been a success in every respect. The pupils have made rapid advancement and their parents are gratified at the result. This being the case, it is to be hoped that the present teachers will be retained, if possible, or others canuiilly as good, secured for the next term.

Wo acknowledge receipt of an invitation to attend the grand anniversary ball to be given at Medical Springs on thcoOth. How about the celebration of the Fourth of July? If we are going to celebrate it is time that preparations were being made, To-morrow, Pat McGinnis, the. Grant county murderer, will he executed at Can yon City. He nppears indifferent to his fate. Copious showers of rain have fallen this week, and there is every indication that large crops of every kind will bo raised this year.

Hunt says he can scarcely afford to reduce the figures at which lie placed the subsidy. However, that docs not prevent your calling at once at the Cove drug store and settling your overdue account. A meeting of thecitizens is called for next Monday for the purpose of making arrange ments for a eclebratioh on the Fourth of July. The meeting will be held at the council chamber. All of our business men should bo in attendance. A young lady in quest of a hath sponge went into a drug storo and, in a lit of al scntmindedness, requested tho clerk to give, her n good sponge bath. The clerk fainted, and the girl is now laid up at homo with a severe attack of mortification. A meeting was held Tuesday evening at the city hall for the purpose of organizing a theatrical company. All preliminary arrangements have been made and there will be another meeting on Saturday even ing, when it it is to be hoped a permanent organization will be effected. The report has been put in circulation that the frost lias injured the fruit trees in this valley and that but little fruit will be raised in consequence. The report is with out foundation in fact. The trees have nowhere been hurt in the least and the prospects are good for an enormous yield, better in fact than we have ever had. The Pendleton Orcgonian says: "Tho jail wa broken open this morning, and Sheriff Iloiibor, Deputy Waugh and three prisoners, A. J. Cripe, J ml Uealo and (ieorge Pay, 'lit out' this morning for Union. To correct any misundeistanding, how'vor, it might ho said that the 'jail break' was for tho purpose of removing the iron colls and other fixtures to the new court house.'' It Is decided that Union must celebrate the coming -lth of July in an appropriate niunner. A meeting of the citizens will be held the first of next weok to take the pre liminary steps in tho matter. Union has not celebrated for some years, and It is our turn next. No doubt our neighboring towns will stand in and help us make it a success. Two young cinnamon cubs were captured in tho mountains aboe town a few days ago by the Vanderfy Pro's, and Mr. Koger, One of them got away from his captors and lit out for tho mountains again, but the other was brought to town by Mr. Koger and attracted considerable attention on our streets, Monday. The little fellow was not the least bit afraid mid was soon on soci able terms witli tho boys. The Silvortou Appeal has been digging ii) the following find: Quite a sensation has been created in tho foothills about four miles cast of hero over the finding of a complete outfit of counterfeiter's tools.

They woro taken to Portland this week and turned over to the proper authorities. Plows! Plows! Plows!! Latcftt improve ment!! and lowest living prices.

I A dispatch from Philadelphia, April 10, published in New York, gives this: The Northern Pacific party here believe the end of the long negotiations with the Union Pacific over the Oregon Navigation case Is coming to a head. A linn lease nt I per cent, is now icgardcd as likely to be brought about sjieedily, although the lead er of the Philadelphia interest will not ad mit that even this dividend will be guar anteed. Philadelphia has sold the Orcgons for a few days, hut is no v disposed to buy tho Pacifies A further decline in Trans continental is looked for to compensate for the shrinkage of the Oregon Navigation assets. A New York evening paper, in regard to the above, says : The talk of the street to day is about Prcident Adams' unofficial notice to the Oregon Navigation Company that he can no longer guarantee the pay ment of (i per cent, on tho stock of that company. It is understood that he is will ing to pay a dividend on the stock at the rate of ;t per cent, per annum. Uegarding this a reporter called to see Henry Villard, but was told that he would not be at his office for several days. There is a rumor that he has gone to Poston to confer with President Adams, of the Union Pacific. As to the Oregon Navigation Company it has, so fur as reported, made a deficit of about $15,000 this year, but this is only up to the first of March. This loss Is caused by com petition of the Oregon iV Washington Ter ritory, which traverses rich wheat regions. The voluntary obligation of the Union Pa cific amounts to about Jf.10,000 n month. The Spokane & Palousc branch ofthe North ern Pacific Is also a source of competition to the Oregon Navigation, and tho result has been the reduction of rates as well as a division of the business. There area num ber of factions ,in all the boards of the vari ous railroads affected !.y the guarantee, and it is difficult to say how the matter will terminate. Mr. Uobcrt Harris, of the Northern Pacific, was seen, though he re fused to say anything on the subject. It is later reported that the Union Pacific will abandon its lease of the Oregon Navigation on July 1, unless the Hunt system is turned over to the Oregon Navigation Company. It would seem from the above that the O. li.ifcN. Co. are beginning to reap the reward of their high-handed methods, and disregard of fhe people's interests. Mr. Hunt, manager of the O. fc W. T.,has noth ing to do, and will have nothing to do, with the O. It. it N. Co. If the Union Pacific should abandon its lease of the O. K. it N. line, and join with the Hunt sustem, mak ing connection at Huntington, it is very easy to realize what tho result would be. The O. It. fc Co's line would not pay ex penses between Pendleton and Huntington. Some startling raihoad developments may be expected in a short time. .Scenery of I'licct Sound. The scenery of Pugct Sound, that great inland arm of tho sea in tho extreme north west corner of the United States, is becom ing more famous for its beauty yearly, as the number of tourists through that region increases, Placid water, verdant vales, timbered mountains and snow-crowned pcakK combine to make landscapes of mar velous beauty. That body of water is also of special interest 10 our people because of the selection of a silo there for a huge navy yard for bettor defence of our country on the Pacific coast. One of tho grandest views in that region is that of Mount Ma ker, as seen across the still waters of Adnii rality inlet, as the main arm of the sound is called. This is the subject of a beautiful tinted engraving, 17x22 Inches in size, issu ed as a supplement to the April number of The West Shore. Magus! ne. The number nlso contains many engravings of Port Town send and Olympia, two growing cities on the sound, including the new hotel in pro gress of erection in tho latter place. Full descriptions of the resources and progess of those cities, and much valuable informa tion about the entire northwest, as well an entertaining fiction and verse, complete a most instructive and entertaining number. Anvono seeking information about Oregon. Washington, Idaho, Montana or Ilrltlih Columbia, will find The West Shore Magazine the best, source from which to obtain it.

Possessing those qualities, Syrup of Figs is tho one perfect laxative and most diuretic known. A JIusii Itall Tournament. A communication in the Poise Slutemnn urges a base ball tournament to take place in Poise City for sixdayf. sometime in May, and citos tho success attending tho tourna ment hold in Pakor City last year. The Pakcr Demorrul favors tho proposition and believes that a tournament In Poise City would be a grand success. In this connec tion we would propound the query: What has become of the Union baseball nine!' A Mlnliip Sain. The necessary papers woro filed yester day with tho comity clerk recording the sale of the Crown Point, Uonunza, King, North Star and four other mines, situated about one mile cast of Haines on tho O, It. & N., owned by N.
