History of OrnRiiii.
The history of our country has been
called the Plb'lo of American Citizenship.
If this be true, and no one denies it, then
the History of Oregon, by Hubert Howe
Pancroft, should be placed beside the Pible
on every family altar in Oregon, and
throughout the whole United States. Por
it portrays in graphic colors all that i.s most
sacred to our people In a political and ma
terial wav the several migrations; saving
the country to tho United States; organiza
tion of government and society ; early trials
and vicissitudes; and later grand develop
ments. it is safe to sav that no one individual
lias ever done a greater work for Oregon
and for the whole American people than
Mr. Dancroft. Visiting in person several
times during the progress of his vast work
the several countries ho wrote about, he
saved from absolute oblivion nn immense
mass of invaluable material taken from the
mouths of the foremost men. He also
ransacked the world for early data, lie
Hum in a most conscientious and erudite
manner arranged his material, and wrote
his incomparable histoiy. In such noblo
eli'ort as this he has snent his life and over
a million of dollars in money .
A grand bencfacation like this deserves
hearty sympathy and support, het us not
prove' ungreatful, but show that we can
appreciate such work. Trior to the publi
cation of the second volume of Oregon, Mr.
llancroft's works could only be procured
in complete sets of ;sn voN. This prevented
many from purchasing the History of Ore
gon who greatly desired to do so. In an
swer to Innumerable requests, the publish
ers finally consented to issue the Histo
ry of Oregon separate from tho full set,
thus conferring a great benetit upon the
country. Let every true son and daughter
of Oregon, let every American remember
this, and show gratitude insoniething inoro
than mere words. It is needless to speak
further of tho magnificence of the work or
merits of tho author. No nation in the
world has a more full and truthful record
of its early all'airs, and by an author of the
very first ability and repute, than Oregon.
"He sifts with a master hand,'' says tho
Prittsh Quarterly Itcview, "tho immense
mass of facts, and the conflicting testimo
ny of witnesses, and suts faithfully the true
points forward." while the New York
Herald alllruis that tho work "will ever re
main a monument to tho writer's Intelli
gence." Heo advertisement in another column for
agouti!, to whom most liberal terms uro of

The Uakor City Democrat says; "A
drummer for tho Oregon City Woolon
Mills, Jacobs Pros., of Portland, proprie
tors, yesterday telegraphed to Union for u
livery team to transport hhnsolf and trunks
to interior points, alleging as a reason
therefor that the utables in linker City
charge too much for their ervict-t and that
ho oould save 1'-' during the time he utcd
tho team. At Union the tabls charge
f t per day and in Uakor City ." It iniiy
bo said In this connection that tho above
mentioned uondition will alio bo found In
almost every other buiui'h.

The Presbyterians of this community,
with the assistance of eastern help, and tho
Presbyterian Board of Academics, intend
to build an academy in this city if they can
secure aid and co-operation from the peo
ple. They desire to build a ten thousand
dollar building, and they wisli to t-eouro
that amount of money by subscriptions to
aid in building this institution, and they
promise to secure an endowment and run
a first-class school for hoys and girls.
Assistance has been secured to sustain
tho school, if built, and laud has been of
fered for the buildings. Then there is no
reason why the town of Union, so beauti
fully situated hi one of the grandest and
most fertile valleys of the Northwest, should
not have a first-class institution of learning
where the young people of this county
and surrounding country could receive
as good an education as In any of our eas
tern schools. We can have this if wo will.
Let us then put our shoulder to the wheel
and make an effort to have the academy

lutoriiiation of a most harrowing state of
a Hairs is received from l.aOrande. It is
said that the second ward, which lays down
on the plain, has taken the water from the
first ward which is situated on tho foot
hills about three-fourths of a mile distant
and hud the water ilrst, This caused ti.e
first ward to get riled up at the second
ward, and some of the members of the
first ward tore out the "water works."
Then the members of tho second ward
caused several members of the Ilrst ward
to be arrested and placed under fVKl bonds
to keep the pence. Tho members of the
first ward nave the bonds and tore out the
"water works'' again, and there Is liable to
bo a water famine in the second ward. The
members of the n'coud ward seem to think
if they cannot get water that gore extrac
ted from the anatomy of the members of
the Ilrst ward will answer. Just which
ward will come out on top and secure tho
county seat, remains to bo seen.

Lines dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. Phdiips
on the death of their child.)
"She is not dead butslccpotb."
She fell asleep a deep and dreamless slrcp
Prom which, to her, no waking hour will
come;
Her eager footsteps, laugh and merry song
Are silent now within your stricken home.
She fell asleep for (lod had willed it so;
Ho only honored her for a few brief years,
Then tool: her, stainless, trout this world
of sin
And, left you groping, darkly and in tears.
She fell asleep her mission bote was done,
Hut left sweet niein'iies which will never
cease.
Drawing your footsteps, like to sliver cords,
Into the paths of happiness ami peace.
Sho fell asleep crossing death's darkjoino
tide,
Not in old age, the twilight time of tears,
Shed o'er a niis-speut life of sin and shame,
And earthly turmoils fill the vanished years.
She fell asleep with pure and sinless heart,
Such as our Savior promised should seo
(lod;
Then, think of her as basking in His smile,
Not the poor clay which moulders 'ncath
the sod.
Sho fell asleep to quicken you to life
nd learn to do ( bid's will while yet you
may
iud be prepared to meet her on that shore
Where tears arc dried and sorrows lleo
away.
