The above mentioned individual struck
Union lust Friday and preached in the
open air on Main street that evening and
Saturday evening.lle is a veritable curi
osity, a combination of crank, religious
fanatic and tramp. He travels on foot,
dressed In ragged clothing, sleeps on the
ground, and in his wanderings is accom
panied by a dog. His announcement read
as follows: "Free lecture to-night, at 8
p. in., in the open air on Main street, by a
Bulgarian monk of the Christian church of
Jerusalem, Palestine. Subject: To con
vert all American preachers and pne.-ts to
be ClirKtiaus." lie harangued to a largo
crowd cadi evening, and. from a Christian
standpoint, Iiis.discourse contained much
that was intercf-ting and true. He scored
the preachers unmercifully, assertiim that
in their lust for tho good things of this life
they had forgotten tho life-giving prinei
plet. of their faith and degenerated into
bubbling hypocrites, and that if the lowly
Kazarcne should vi.-it this country, as he
once did Palestine, he- would be kicked out
of two-thirds of the churches. He deplored
the. credulity with which women in general
accepted the demands of modern priest
craft, and gave their time, Ice cream, cake
and hot coffee to support preachers in idle
ness. His word pictures of scenes in the
Holy Land were very interesting, and ids
description of tho approach of death was
as vivid and realistic as anything we ever
heard. The general opinion was that he
preached more real Christianity In his two
.sermons than had been heard in this town
for several years. After his discourse on
tiie last evening he passed out into the
night and was gone, no one knows where.
Taken altogether he is a harmless old
crank, .sincere in his religious convictions,
and in his efforts to reform tho world the
good predominates.

Jew Lee. our esteemed fellow townsman
and proprietor of the wash houe, visited
La Orande this week. We paid no atten
tion to the mutter at the time, thinking he
had only gone to dun some of Ids delin
quent subscribers who were owing hhn for
editing tlielr shirts several years ago. Since
his return, however, we smell a pretty good
sired "laf and infer from his rather unin
telligible remarks that there is a move on
foot to subsidize him and get him to move
the Wash house to La Grande, but that the
amount offered is not atisfuctory. "Too
iniichce dam foolco no good," said the
irate Mongolian, "Hjiosee he llkce pay mo
two liiuidcld dolla. allce lite, ino move
Nig Lande, he talkee seventeen dolla hop
and tlee lent, blcinby Mayol (ilandy he give

Mr. Shaw, surveyor, were encamped below

been engaged in running lines over the
Blue mountain from Athena to the Uma

that the line would be much more expen

Ni;! tho Contrast.
The water supply at La (iranile seems to
be very limited, and what there is of a very
unhealthy ipiality. The council has taken
the matter in hand and will do what it can
to procure water from some source if pos
sible. The in :i lie says:
In relation to the subject of a water sup
ply, a considerable interest has lately been
taken in the question of artesian wells. The
success in this line in Baker City, in Idaho
is well as in some parts of Fastcrn Wash
ington, would seem to indicate that an ar
tesian well might novo successful here.
Baker City is in about the saiuo condition
and is prospecting for artesian water. The
! Dfnuiiiiil says;
The condition of Powder river at the
present time is horilble to contemplate and
if the citv Is not isited by an epidemic this
fall it will be a surprise.
Our lemUrs will note the contrast be
tween the above named places and Union.
Here we have an inexhaustible supply of
as pure cold water as ever was poured out
of the bosom of the mountains. Wells may
bosunk anywhere and the best of water
obtained, Water in abundance courses
down each side of our streets, nourishing
shade trees and making a most delightful
coolness. It seems strange that towns
situated so near us should bo in a condi
tion no better than if they were situated on
tho biizzard-swept plains of Dakota, hav
ing to place their reliance for healthful
water on the douiitful experiment of sink
ing artesian wells.
