Ed Cates vs A. Meachen came up

enforced his arguments in such a man

gone into mourning for twenty days.
Sonutor Chandler, of Baker county,
while in Salem, was said to havo been

Union suits him well enough.
Surprlsi! l'urly.
The surprise party given to Mr. and
Mrs. James Eakin last Monday even
ing was as pleasant a gathering as has
been our good fortune to attend for
some tune. During the evening they
were presented with a handsome mani
cure set, as a tokon of the esteem in
which they were held by members of
the. church. Long will be felt the va
cancy caused by the departure of the
estimable young couple from our
midst. A feeling of sadness comes
over us all as we feel their presence
will no longer bo with us, and their
hopes, interests and ambitions united
with ours. As they leave us they can
do so feeling that they are leaving true
and tried friends, who will ever be de
lighted to learn that continued pros
perity and happiness crowns their
every endeavor. Mr. Eakin will en
ter the Harvard Law College, and Mrs.
Eakin the Consovatory of Music. We
all unite in saying, when you are
through come home again.
TIiu Kiilm-tnln intuit.
The entertainment givon at tho
Presbyterian church last Friday even
ing seemed to be heartily enjoyed by
all. Tho principal feature of tho en
tertainment was tho recitations by
Miss Maud Durbin, of La Grande.
Her power of expression as shown in
the recital of "The Gypsie," was ex
cellent. Miss Durban expects to or
ganize an elocution class in Union,
and we bono tho people hero will ap
preciate talent when they have the
chance, and not fail to take advan
tage of this rare opportunity. Patents,
give your children a chance. Wo hope
this will not be the last entertainment
of this kind. Young people must bo
entertained in some manner, and for
the benefit of tho moral atmosphere of
our town, wo would say, give us anoth
er of the same kind.

Wo earnestly recommend to the
consideration of tho county court the
following:
That it is far better for Union coun
ty to have all double and erroneous
assessments and all assessments where
the description of the property is de
fective, and all uucollectablo poll and
property taxes on the delinquent tax
roll, stricken from such tax roll, be
cause it is a useless and unnecessary
expense to carry over and enter from
book to book all assessments where
there is no possible hope for their col
lection. Wo havo examined into the condi
tion of our county roads and lind Unit
there is a great deal of complaint in
regard to the county road leading from
the Cove, to 1'hy's point, and we lind
that at that point a large amount of
water is backed up against tho road
which renders tho road almost impass
able at tiinos and is of great injury to
tho road. Wo recommend that the
county court instruct the road super
visor to remedy this evil, and if he
fails to do so then that they appoint a
competent man in his place who will
do so.
Wo also find that tho county road
leading from Union to North Powder
between Clover creek and North I'ow
dor has been by different parties on
closed and changed without any right
or authority of law. Wo would rec
ommend that tho county court enforce
tho right of tho people to have said
road remain where it was Cftablished
and not oblige tho people of our
county who desire to travel that road
to pass over every inaccessible point in
that section.
Wo havo investigated all matters
brought to our attention to tho best of
our ability and in accordance with tho
oaths wo havo taken.
Wo desiro at this time to return our
sincere thanks to Hon. .las. A. Fee,
our circuit judge, for thu many cour
tesies he has extended to us, to J. L.
Rand, our district attorney, for the aa
sistanco ho has rendered us, and to
Charles Baker, our bailiff, for tho
promptness he has extended to us in
meeting our demands.
And now having completed our bus
iness we ask to bo discharged.
Dated at Union, in tho County of
Union and State of Oregon, this 1th
dav of October, A. I). 18S0.

The East Portland Vindicator says:
Every passenger train that pulls into
either Hast Portland or Portland is
hoarded a short dislitnco out of tho city
by a baggage man with a lot of rings
with cheeks on them. This chock
man "hits" every passenger on the
train to cheek baggage. The "song
and dance" that the fellow gives them
is well calculated to make a novice in
traveling yield up his or her check, if
they have one or consent to havo their
baggage checked. The check once in
the hands of that baggage fellow, then
the fun begins. The baggage man
will check anyone's haggngaanywhere,
so he will say, with perfect safety. lie
takes the passenger's check, finds tlio
baggage to correspond with tho check
in his poi-scssion and then hauls the
baggage to his company's baggage
rooiws and there it stays. Tho passen
ger gets uneasy about his or her bag
gage and starts out to hunt it up. Af
ter traveling all over the city the bag
gage is at last "treed" at the baggage
room, where from spl to $2.50 is collec
ted before the passenger can got tho
baggage. Then there is tho paying
for having it hauled to the depot both
ways, additional. Of course, it is a
small matter, and hut few, if any, would
ever feel like making a "kick," especi
ally on so short a time, wIk.mi thoy
were in a hurry and wanted to bo go
ing, so they pay the cash and get their
baggage.
A man from abroad with a broad
brimmed hat and flowing locks of the
"Wihl Bill" type walked into the post
office tho other day and inquired for
mail. On being answered in tlio neg
ative, ho cast his eaglo optics along
the boxes and as it happened to be
just as Mrs. A'lgors had liinished put
tid: in slips notifying holders to pay
for next month, our rural tough mis
took the situation and was seen shak
ing his head as he walked out mutter
ing to himself: "JUightv poor town
this!"
Lrdicri, save money by buying goods
of .Mesdames Kinehart it Gager. One
dollar in lino jewelry will ho given to
every one purchasing ten dollar's
worth of goods and paying cash there
for. They carry tho finest lino of mil
