12DIT01I,
City and County Official Paper.
Thursday, July 11, 1881).
IMIITOJUAI, NOTKS.
"0or will count tlic prohibition votes
in Pennsylvania" taid Mr. Wananiaker
in a recent speech. The fellow who
counted the other votes had the most
work.
In the final ollbrt that is now being
made to complete the railroad subsidy,
let every man siiow his colors, and be
judged for what he t. Wo will have
more to say concerning this hereafter.
A rniM has been organized in Pott
land for the purpose of wiling farmers
all the goods and machinery they may
need at wholesale prices. The farmer
pays for u membership. Nearly
ever' farmer in the country is invest
ing in it.
Wi: are informed by the recorder
41i.it tlm f.ifl tmlfilirrtilfin-u lu lirmtir vim. .

idlv dinunishcI and it will not exceed
$'.)()(). at the iiresent time. This is
moving in the right direction, and the I
city warrants are certainly worth more
than is being paid for them. In a year
from now, by judicious management
in tlin li.irl nf nnr i-ilv iiMiimhIm tlir
warrants should be worth one hundred
cents to the dollar.
Tin: attention of our business men
is called to tlic letter of "Halidin" in
this "issue, wherein the Cornucopia
people are represented as very desirous
of having telephonic communication
with this city. We agree with our
correspondent that a telephone lino
between tho two places would pay from
the start. Tho cost of putting it up
would not bo groat, whore are the en
terprising men that will take the mat
ter in hand?
Tub Sugar Trust Manipulators have
again raised tho price of sugar. This
makes an advance in about two years
of forty per cent. The profits of the
sugar trust for the first five mouths of
188!) have been over $800,000, yet
they still raise the price and demand
more plunder. Hut the operations of
this and similar other trusts were sanc
tioned and endorsed by the result of
the election last fall; so we don,t know
us anybody ought to complain.
Tin: railroad committees at Elgin
and Suinmervillo are striving hard to
raise the remainder of tho subsidy
asked by Mr. Hunt. A meeting of tho
citizens to take final action in the
matter has been called to take place at
Elgin next Saturday at 2 o'clock, and
at Sumrnerville next Tuesday, the
Kith, at 2 o'clock. The Meeting at
Elgin will bo addressed by T. JI.
Crawford and others from Union. It
is incumbent on every man to come
forward now and do something.
Vai.i.. Wai.i.a lias organized an
"Anti-Mossback club." Its object is
to advance tho inteiets of the city, to
eradicate the disease known as nioss
backism, to give strictly non-partisan
support to every progressiva man and
mcasuio, and to organize tho progress
ive element for more ellcctivo work, j
A similar club should be established
in every town in the country. Union !
needs one badly. The niossbacks !
must no. alonsr with the Canada this- I
tie and other hindrances to tho (level- !
oprncnt of the country.
DntiNo tho first six months of Glove
laud's administration, with "reform of
tho tarill" for the principal plank in
his platform, wool advanced in price ;
about nine cents per pound. Under
Harrison'sroigii in three months wool
lias declined in prico about tix cents
per pound. And yet tho watchword
of thu Jlopublican campaign was "pro
tect tho woolen industry." There is a
fog-horn logic in this statement that
induces 0110 to believe that a largo
and intelligent class of producers have
been cajoled into selling their birth
right for a very poorly flavored mess
of pot (ago.
It is a matter of considerable ques
tion whether tho elevator system will
meet with the approbation of the farm
cm; it is more than likely tho over
tuiiguiuo investors in thu btorage ware
housed of tint new project will bo very
much disaointcd in tho immediate
outcomo of their venture. It is under
stood they will try to induce farinors
to deliver to tho elevators wheat in
bulk doing away with sacks; but hero
is where the first great mistako U made.
The sack art? a groat convenience for
farmers enabling them Co Hloro from
the thresher piling tho sacks and haul
ing them to tho nearest platform at
loisure; the other method neooflsitatos
granaries or bins on tho farm to first
hold tho grain after threshing, whence
it is later hauled to market.

producers of the Northwest will n

It is in consequence of this marked
diU'eronce in rates on the two made
that a wide spread feeling has lecn
inculcated throughout the funning
distrietn of Eastern Washington
against the O. 15. A X. road, and in
favor of relief, in .omc manner or oth
er. This feeling doca not emulate
from the farming community alone,
but fiom merchants nnd shippers as
well, who have alro been compelled to
pay highc: rates over this road.
It has teemed to lie a jwlicy of Port

The O. P. A N. Co. and tho city of ,
Portland aro beginning to realize the,
condition they have hi ought them-'
selvus to by their systematic robbery of j
the people during the pata twenty
years. The following wail from a J
Portland paper explains the situation 4
about as it ib :
"Though the Lion and tho Lamb, j
that is Viilard and Smith, have lain
down together in loving embrace;!
though such an era of bliss is inaugu- j
rated as has moved even Harvey Scott j
to pioclaim peace with Viilard, we ,
cannot feel that we are yet "out of the
woods;" that all is as serene as the 1
unruflled surface of the present situa- j
tiou would indicate for, m tho first
place, until tho Hunt system is re
moved from tho arena our wounds will
be of the gaping order thut indicates
the speedy deatroyal of tho C. It. A N.

their option on the road
an option '
which lasts about one year yet. It is
a matter of necessity for tlic harmoni
ous relations sketched out between the
two gieat corporations, that the Hunt
system is to be eliminated. Hut how
1 is that to be done? Hunt is in the 1
best possible position with his road.
Helms a fifty year's trallic contract
with the Northern Pacific, which is
'"gal and binding. .No matter how
imh that corporation may desire to
squelch limit, ho wonn't bo squolehod
unless lie so debris. Ho is under;
pledge to tho people from whom he !
has obtained contributions never to
soil out to any one, and his life would
hu in danger if he betrayed tho trut
imposed in him by the men who made
up his subsidies. The Hunt system
stand in the way of the O. li. kfc N.
cnriiing enough money to pay its
I li.Ncd charges, and it is an essential
pie requisite to the Lion arid Lamb
policy which o many hereabout imag
ino tmlvos tho problem for Portland's
j benefit, that it be removed. Hunt
j declines he won't sell out, ao what is to
bo done about it?
I Tho Union Pacific ha shown utter
j incompetency to stand up against this
. young David of the 'sago plains, who
! stalks with all-conquering strides over
j Walla Walla and Umatilla counties,
I and is now reaching for the (iramle
j Hondo in Oregon, and tho Columbia
county in W. T paralleling tho linos
of the O. K. il N. Co. iu ho got-s, and
they aro yelping with loud clamor for
somo 0110 to uoiuo and nrc them.
This Viilard promises to do if -tie can.
Tho U. P, throw up its hands hum tho
Iwginuing of llunt.s campaign, and
permitted tho destruction of its husi-
ness without an ollbrt tou'.iin its own

Tho failure of the proposed match
game of base ball at Union the Fourth
was quite a disappointment to many
Coveites who say IIict visited the
