The Oregon Scout has as large a clrrv
lation as any two papers in this sec
tion of the State, combined, and is cor
respondingly valuable as an advertising
medium.

Concerning til" I. mid Office.
Tim following litter has been ;ent out by
o Mr. Hini'lmrt. Hegistcr of the 1m Grante
land ofllce:
JiNo more filings or entries enn be made
horo until 501110 0110 tins been Appointed to
fill this vsvancy caused by the death of the
late Heceiver.
The olllco will be kept open for informa
tion, etc, nnd, unions differently instructed,
when parties who have advertised to make
final proof appeared at the time designated
in notice, the testimony will bo taken, but
final action on tho same will be deferred.
All application by mail to tile on or enter
land, and the papers in final proof cases,
will be filed as received, but final action on
the same will not be taken.
County judges and clerks in the district
may continue to take final proof as usual,
ami forward testimony to this office, where
they will be tiled in regulnrordcr as received.
Up to this time we are unable to learn
who will bo appointed to fill the place of the
late Heceiver, or when the regular business
of the office can be again proceeded with,
but if an appointment of an Oregon man is
made, it will necessary take about a month
before he can give his bonds and receive Ids
commission, and in the mean time the bus
iness of the offlice will have accumulated to
that extent, that without additional help,
it will be some time next year before the
office can catch up with the work."
That ItullrtliiK Association.
The Minneapolis Tribune lias this to
say of the American Building and Loan
Association of that city, of which there are
numerous members in this section of the
state, and which is being generally exposed:
"It is the business of reputable and honest
organs of local opinion to see that establish
ments locating themselves here and thriv
ing upon the gooi' name of this community
shall not go up and down the land
pushing improper schemes without being
called to explanation or account. It is the
belief of many quarters of the, Kast and
We-tlthat the American Building and Loan
association is a scheme to defraud the poor
and unwary. The least reputable part of
the business of this 'American Building
and Loan association, is its oxp'en.e. Thii
American association exists solely and
purely because it can collect under guise of
an expenso fund an euormdus sum of mon
ey that goes presumably, in the pockets of
the maiiagors. No other financial institu
tions ever organized on earth, not even the
worst of the bogus assessment insurance
companies, have ever as we believe made
such exorbitant charges for expenses."
Kai.t Uiu;Io Flint's.
From parties in from Kagle valley we
learn that there has been several valuable
ledges discovered on the Kast Knglo, about
six miles north of Sanger, in lTnion county,
which have attracted considerable attention
and numerous prospector, milling men
and speculators have gone in there, .several
parties from Sparta and liaker City taking
in supplies for the winter. Olio ledge be
longing to Cook A; Younger, assays $121
to the ton of average rock. The ledge
located by Frank McOoe, namely, tho C.
T. Ilradley, Truthful Boy, and Maiden's
l'rayer, have been bonded by the Sanger
company I for $21.0!K1. This portion of
Union County will yet be hoard from in a
manner that will surprise many.
1'Ire nt North Powilor.
Last Friday evening about 8 o'clock a
lurid glare in the direction of North Power
attracted the attention of our citizens,
and many were the conjectures concern
ing tho cause of it. Wo have since learned
that it was caused by the burning of the
planing mill at that place owned by the
Oregon Luinbor Co. The flro Taught from
tho engine, after work had ceased that day,
and when It was discovered, had gained
such headway that iiolhingcould be saved.
The building, together with the unchinory
and a considerable amount of lumber was
entirely destroyed. The loss to tho com
pany is estimated at about $:iOOO.
ICrneivs Hut- Youth.
Mrs. Phiebo Chesley, Peterson, (.'lav coun
ty, Iowa, tells tho following remarkable, sto
ry, the truth of which is vouched for by tho
residents of tho town: "I am "."! years old,
have been troubled with Kidney complaint
and lameness for many year. ; could not
dress myself without help. Now l am free
from all pain and soreness, and am able to
do all my own housework. I owe ,ny thanks
to Klectrle Hitters for having renewed my
youth, and removed completely all disease
ami pain." Try a bottle, only M cents at

the People of Union.
A CONFERENCE AT THE COVE.
KiitliuslnsHe Knllreml 3In-tiiiRs nt Sum
inert llln nnd Klplu.
According to arrangements mado, Mr.
G. W. Hunt. president and niantigor of tho
0. & W. T. railroad, met the people of this
city last Thursday for the purpose of dis
cussing the railtoad situation. The recep
tion tendered to Mr. Hunt was a warm nnd
enthusiastic one, the court house being
packed to its utmost capacity and standing
room, at a premium. Many representative
citlwns of Cove. Island City. Suuimervillo
and Rlgin were in attondsure.
The meeting was opened by Mr. W. T.
Carroll, chairman of the Union committee.
Mr. Hunt was invited to address the meet
ing, which he did l.i plain and concise lan
guage. He expressed pleasure at tho re
ception given him. and regretted that the
work so nuspiciouslv begun last spring
should have been delayed, but this was
not entirely his fault, the subsidy not be
ing raised at the time specified and oilier
work intervening, together with difficul
ties in finding a suitable pass over the
mountains, hud somewhat thrown him out
of his calculations. He was. however, now
plea-cd to sav that all obstacles had been
overcome, a practical route had lecn found
through the mountains, and that he was
ready anil anxious to build tho road, but
while this was the case it would be impossi
ble for him to complete it at the time speci
fied in the contract which had born signed
by the subscribers to tho subsidy, and ho
would bo compelled to ask for an extension
of the time. In consideration of further
time being given him 110 was willing to
concede something to the people of this
county and would commence the construct
ion of the road at this end of the line. He,
in behalf of the Oregon and Washington
Territory railroad company, would agree
to commence work in Grande Hondo valley
on or boforo March 1, 1809, and build at
least twenty miles of its railroad grade be
tween Union and Indian valley on or be
fore August I, 1S!)1, and further agree to
complete said lino from some point on the
Oregon and Washington Territory railroad
to Union, Oregon, on or boforo December
1, 1P01, provided the tlmo 'is changed to
conform to this proposition, and right of
way and depot grounds are secured from
Union to the summit of the Blue moun
tains on the permanent location of the
said line of the Oregon and Washington
Territory railroad, and that ho would fur
ther agree to have the line of this proposed
extension of the Orogon and Washington
Toiritory railroad permanently located be
tween Union and Indian valloy by way of
Suinmerville some time next month. Do
read an extension contract which had been
prepared by the committee, embodying tho
above mentioned changes, and invited all,
who were willing to extend him the time
asked for, to come forward and sign tho
same One hundred and thirty of the sub
scribers, representing the major portion of
the subsidy in this part of the county, went
forward and placed their names to tho ex
tension contract, among them all the heavi
est subscribers. Not a dissenting voice was
heard from the vast ooncoursa of people
present and the greatest enthusiasm pre
vailed. After remarks by several citizens
and a speech by Mr. Hunt tho meeting ad
journed. at the covt:.
Next morning Mr. Hunt and a party of
our citiZ'jus, among whom were Mayor
Kennedy, Hon. L. B. Hinchart, Hon. Dun
ham Wright, Hon. James Ilcndorshott. A.
K. Eaton, S. O. Swackhamcr, 13. S. Mo
Comas, S. A. Pursel, A. J. Hackett and
Frank Middleton, took their departuie for
Suinmerville via Cove. No public meeting
was hold at the Cove, but a conference
was had with representative citizens and
thy best of feeling prevailed. Tho people
there feel tho importance of the road and,
wo are informed, will sign the extension
contract, .to a man.
Mr. H. II. French, with characteristic
hospitality, had a most superb dinner pre
pared for thu partv, and beneath his roof
they enjoyed a pleasant hour or two.
From there the party proceeded on their
way, arriving
at sr.MMimviM.n
rather Into 111 the afternoon. The people
thero gave Mr. Hunt a cordial reception
and unanimously received his proposition
with favor. The benefit of tho road to
Suinmerville can hardly be over estimated
and as tho pcoplo there are fully alive to the
situation, no doubt is entertained that all
will grant tho extension of time asked for.
Next day an enthusiastic meeting was held
at m.titx
which was lurgoly attended by the citizens
of the town and surrounding country.
Numerous speeches were made and a com
plete and satisfactory understanding ar
rived at. To show that the pcoplo there
are lu earnest and mean business It Is only
necessary for us to say that out of the lit),
OjO stibicribcd there tho subscribers of
fh'i.lXK) ol It caniu forward and signed the
extension contracts. The others will fol
fow suit us soon as they can bo seen.
All tho committees, we understand, arc
now dilligontly at work having the con
tracts signed ami there is no doubt that iu
a very fow days their work will be success-
1 fully terminated, Tho permanent survey
I will be commenced Inside of two weeks and
j will be speedily completed. Mr. Hunt will
' start east In 11 day or two and will be gone
( ubout t'fteeii days. When he returns it is
his luti ntlon t 1 personally superintend the
I survey through the valley. Thu comiiilt
' tcs should see to It that every contract Is
, extended and ready lor delivery to the
, pin; r eustodian inside of thu next week.

b.u nu et cry question troin the legal

1 without making a political speech to the

I the grand jury returned no indictment
against Sutherland for having compelled
his child tosvx car to a lie. lie said: 'The

stolen. A party will go before the grand

into court nnd testify that the statement to
the grand jury was false, compelled anoth

the grand jury returns 'not 11 true bill'
against the man who Used tho threats and
compelled the false swearing. The court
is not responsible for this state of n flairs,
hut If the people can .stand it the court
can.' We regard this as a blow at the
grand jury system, which is rapidly be
coming a farce, and at the still strangir
fact that county vaults and safes will not
hold the county records."

. Tho papers over nt the "key-hole' arc
extremely handy with figures. They re
, centh consumed nbout a column of their
( valuable space in elucidating the statement
I that "During the year ls8 La Grande's
I shipments of ltiiuhcr amounted to 'JiKio
I carloads." If lying will accomplish any
j thing the "key-hole" will open up, sine
enough. The truth of the matter if., that
j not a sinsle carload of lumber was ever
j shipped from La Grande. There U do lum
I 1st there to ship. Probably that aliiouiit
I of lumber was shlppel from the vaiious
station Uirnn!i the Blue mountain, situ
ated ail the way from 1-' to .V) milcffrom
La Grande, but so funis any good tho ship
ments did bi Grando they might a well
have been made fiom the falapoola moun
tains In Southern Or.'gon. As the cits
could not avoid passing through tho 5'kcy
holo" on their way outthey arc counted as
"La Grande's enterprises" in the sau.c way
that all mail matter that passes over that
lino is counted as coming from' La Grande.
The above is only a sample of the misrep
resentations, originating from that plae
n'ltl we are sorry to see that sonic ol our
exchanges copy the articles and give them
currency. Tins Is not, right and can only
injure innocent path's who are seeking lo
cations tor thcinclcs and lime a lUht to
expect tho truth. Hespei table newspapers
should not, knowingly, lend themselves lo
such deception.
