As tho wheat harvest in ICastorn Oregon and Washington progresses it is found that the yield is better in quality and greater in quantity than at first reported.

They say they might as well try to catch a jack rabbit as tho aver age Union county man after ho has found out that ho is on the list. The most of them lay mighty low or take to the mountains. The East Oregonian says: "H is reported that seven bridges arc in ashes on the Columbia river division of tho 0. K. & X. It is supposed that some or all the fires are of incendiary origin; that tramps have done the work in a spirit of revenge against the company. Tho O. H. A. X. is experi encing the full force of the adage 'It never rains but pours.' in the number of misfortunes which have eiowded thick and fa.-.t upon it of late." The La Grande Gazette says : Geo. Anson met with a severe accident, Tuesday. Jle was on a wagon loading hay, and stepped near the edge of tho load to drive a eow away from tho wagon and fell face downward. In the fall his head was turned unden his body, resulting in very serious injuries, which it was thought for a time would prove fatal. He was unconscious for a while but revived in a few hours, and at present his condition is consid erably improved. Ho is receiving the best of medical care and attention, and will probably pull through all right in tho course of time. Tint Circus. Xow that the huge pictorials de scriptive of tho many wonders to be seen in the Farini-McMahon circus adorn tho bulletin boards and dead walls and tho small bills scattered ovcrywhero around and about an nouncing its appearance at Union on Sept. 11th, quite an interest is bung manifested. Tho above show comes highly endorsed by tho press of tho Pacific coast cities. Newspapers of San Francisco, Portland uud other places all agree in pronouncing the performance of Fariui fc MeMuhon much superior to anything over seen in those cities in tho circus line. Tho San Franeieco Chrouiclo says: "A number of lumber wagons on parade is no evidence of a superior circus. Such processions are misleading, and only tho most gullible can bo deceived by them, as in tho pas: twenty years the few circuses of any real merit that have visited our city havo had no wagons. San Francisco has had all the big shows in tho ten years, and none for genuine merit in the eques trian and athletic line compared in tho least with Karini's- it is voiced by all the bust circus seen hero since its last visit, twelve yours ago." Prostijtei'lan He nxil In Union. It is now almost a settled fact that tho Presbyteiian Academy spoken of in a former issue of this paper will bo established in Union. We understand that Mr. and Mrs. Ames have donated suHicient land, adjoining their resi dence prosily in North Union, for the purpose The following mimed persons have been chosen as trustees : S. 0.

Dr. Marratte and brother lur'o been in town the past few days, and ar ranged to commence work on their valuable mine in a short time, and continue all winter. The Golden Gale and associate mines, owned by Irwin, Ainsworth it Co., are looking well, aud the time is I'lcso when the richness of these mines will startle the mining wotld. The two Pittsburgh, (Little aud Mig,) are showing up better and better every day, as work on their extensive tun nHs progress, anil it is now an assured fact that this valuable property will have a mill in tho near future. The Pacific mine, owned by Muck land, Hardy, Manning it Co, is pro ducing very rich ore in large quanti ties. This propet ty is situated near the Dolly Varilen mines, and gives great promise of being a bullion pro ducer at an early day. A. V. Oliver, formerly tho successful superintendent of tho Sanger mines, has been in town a few days, looking over the mining properties, ami as Mr. Oliver has proven himself a most thor ough and competent mill man and miner, it is hoped he will become in terested in this camp. The Del Monte still heads the list as the big ore producer, and few if any mines on the Pacific coast has a bet ter showing for becoming a second Granite Mountain than the Del Monte. This mine alone will, support a town of several hundred people, and when well under way, will be a source of groat revenuo to tho entire county, furnishing employment to men and teams, and consume largo quantities of beef and agricultural products that now puss through our camp from Eagle valley to Maker City and tho mining c.imps beyond. Col. T. A. 1 lethorington is now push ing development work on tho Oro Doll and will sink the shaft, now down '17 feet, to tho 150 foot level, and drive drifts on the ledge at the 100 foot lev vel, and tho ISO foot level, and if the ore continues (which every indication assures) a ten-stamp mill, with con centrators, will be built at once, and add another big and successful mining enterprise to our already promising camp. Col. Hetherington deserves great credit for his untiling energy in hUceesHfully working up this organi zation, and wo hope his fondest antici pations may soon be realized by an extensive bank account. 0.

Tho formation, we think, is too new for a carboniferous deposit. Claim owners are rustling to get the so called assessment work done a mere excuse to hold the ground for another year. Mr. Doney, of tho Cove, came in last Saturday with a load of fresh fruit. 1 le took homo several rich specimens from the mines. The springs which supply tho creeks to the north and west are increasing in capacity, and the creeks are rising gradually every day. John Judge, an old Wood river miner, but lately of Sanger, moved to town last Saturday and two or threo miners from Nevada put in an appear ance. Last Thursday morning the weather took in a reef towards the northern pole, and tho temperature dropped several degrees. On tho liinh ground back of tho town a slight spit of snow fell, ami a white frost appeared on the street. It cleared off, however, warm and pleasant. Wo can expect no more warm weather.
