THE OREGON SCOUT. AMOS Kt JONES KDITOIt City and County Official Paper. Thursday, Fcbr'y. ( 1890. KDITOIIIAI. NOTHSi A white ninn in Ohio who had been teaching a colored school has received a notice from the white caps that ho must leave or furnish n subject for the undertakers. Tin's is how the people of tho north lovo the black man. Tiik hardest blow received by the jute trust was delivered by tho sturdy farmers of Georgia. According to the report of tho state agricultural depart ment over one-half tho last cotton .crop in this stato was wrapped in cotton bagging. Hit the trust again I It. H. Hutchinson has introduced a bill in the Washington lcgislatuie, called tho "llluo Hill," which, if passed, will prohibit all saloons in tho stato of Washington from using screen doors, side rooms or back rooms. Also pro hibiting them from having music or playing games of any kind, either for fun, monoy. or marbles, and not allow ing them to keep open after ton o'clock. With tho issue of last Saturday the Daily Journal of La Grande ceased publication. Its motto was "littlo acorns make big trees," which was good, but in order that tho acorn may thrive and grow it should bo placed in suitable soil, Tho soil in which (lm .TniM-nitl nnui liu , .t ... i " t . I men lacking enterprise for tho paper to have flourished, hence its demise. Au, tli rco of tho members ot tho Ohio legislature who died recently wero democrats. When the legisla ture met, tho democrats had eight majority on joint ballot. This was reduced to livo by tho deaths of tho moinbors referred to, and two moro democrats who aro seriously ill havo beon taken home, Tho grippe- has fastened upon several others, ami tho democrats may lose their mlvimtnin A conference of twenty primitive Baptist preachers was held at Jh ush Mountain, Western North Carolina, last week, in which tho preachers de bated on tho coming of Christ, on tho end of the world, and finally agreed to preach that tho world would surely eomo to an end during tho year. Tho preaching has greatly stirred up the moro ignorant class among tho farm people, who beliovo it is no uko to make any preparations ahead for crops. Tin: Journal contains an account of how three "chumps" from Union wore made tho victims of a practical joko in La Grande last week, and goes on to Bay that it is tho fault of their parents for their being ho ignorant as to be taken in that way. They certainly woro not as big chumps after all as tho editor of tho Journal made him holf out to bo at a party given in this city homo weeks ago. Tho parents of this editor might have dona him sonio good during his childood days. Kkv. M.T. Dvkii, pastor of a Pighton, Mits., church, has got himself into quite morions trouble. Ho has attemp ted to banish from his parish the games called "Copenhagen," "London Bridgo," "Postollioc," and all other games in which hugging and kissing are practiced. Tho result is, ho has lost all his friends in town, and it ii probable ho will bo driven out of tho place. Tho most remarkable thing about the affair is said to bo the revel- i tition it has made of tho prevalence of tho huuging and kisMng practice. Many who aro "up in arms" against tho preachor, aro ladies whom everyone supposed had not been hugged and kissed in twenty years. Goviiitnoit Pk.swoviiu Ls in rceoiptof letters from several of tho ntisesMirK of tho (lillbrent counlii'H of thontato re garding tho call imwd by him for a convention of tho county UH.ehMirs of thu stato atl'ortland on February 11th. They generally signify their iutontion of being present ami aro of thu opinion that tho convention will romiltin much good. Tho county courts in novera! of tho counties have made appropria tions to defray expenses, of their re spective assessors in visiting thi con vention. Although there is no law for Buch an expenditure wo beliovo that they aro justified in o doing as tho benelit derived will moro than compen sate tho county for tho outlay. Thu convention is held for tho purpotto of scouring, if posnihlo, a more uniform and equitable tifKcssincut of pioperty thoughotit tho state. Union oouuty tihould bo roprcfccntcd and havo her Miy in tho convention. Senatok Hoar is more glowing than truthful when ho says that the demand for labor in the United States "has more than kept abreast of tho general growth of tho country." If so, what means this army of 1,000,000 men who are always out of work? Tho demand for labor ought to increase faster than tho supply, but for some reason or other it fails to do so. But, of courto, Mr. Hoar is a trade obstruct ionist, and can't afford to admit that labor is not as well off as it should be. Hoston Globe. Tin: increased production of corn, wheat and oats in the Southern States as compared with production ten years ago, is over 220,000,001) bushels. This shows Hint, fast as the people of the South arc forging ahead in mining and manufacturing industries, tho farmers urn keeping step with thorn and making their advancomont solid and symmetrical. The now comers among the Southerners can not begin to eat up tho excess of bread-stuffs which the farms are mado to yield, nor can they spin the excess of cotton. Philadelphia Record. Tin; next legislature will provide for tho erection, within two years there after, of a new asylum, to bo located in Eastern Oregon at Union, La Grande, Pendleton, Athena or Milton. At least this should bo done, and we I presume it will be. E. O. Milton pOHfOFses, as the moat desir able point, abundance of pure running water, beautiful sites, shade, and close proximity to everything ronuircd bv such an inetitu'ion. Milton Knprlc, Union, hesiuV j)tWec8eing a that .ton claims, has tho advanlago of being n city with n future and conse quently is entitled to the establishment of the asylum at this place. When the merits of the different places aro taken into consideration, wo aro not afraid but that Union will "got there just the same," ISvuhy town 'on tho Sound is attempting to make itself tho great sea port of tho northwest. Tacoma, Seattlo, Port Towmend and Aberdeen aro all looking forward to the time when each will bo lllO metropolis of the noi 'l'Vvcst. There can bp no doubt that Pugct sound has grand facilities for seaports and for anchorage, and eventually will command considerable trade; but one point, on account of extra inducements will eclipse tho others, and it is difficult to dotorinino which this will bo. Perhaps Seattle, with her indomitable enterprise and facilities for trade may win the race. Tacoma and Port Townsond havo great inducements, and tho futuro will only determine which will lead the others in tho iaco after metropolitan honors. COVE CULIilNQS. Covi:. Fob. (!, IS'M. Tho roads just now are bad enough but plenty of moibturo was what wo wanted. Dont hesitate about paying youi school tax any longer. Tho amount is liable to grow. jMit-B Sarah Chrismau returned to Union Monday to again assume hor du lies' in tho public fcchool. A number of Coveites won t to Union Wednesday to assist celebrating tho silver wedding anniversary of Air. and Mrs. Foster. Prof. Johnson, tho horco trainer, is pursuing his calling in the O'ovo and vicinity. Iloissaidto bo an oxpoii at tho business. Tho bottom of tho fancy prices for hay has suddenly fallen out and now it can bo hud at (ho reasonable liguro of $10 or $12 a ton. Tho loss of Mode in Covo this winter on account of lack of food or sovoro weather has boon very light. Homo havo lost not a hoof. .Mill creel; now boonioth and mill owners aio happy, Tho (lour mill is running full time and supplying the demand for mill products. Tho wise colons of tho Covo weather bureau send forth tho proclamation that tho backbone of winter is severed. Farmers and stool: ownora govern yourselves accoidingly. Tho hillsides aro beginning to turn green and theio is every indication that tho gras crop will be tine in the spring. .s'omo aro already turning their stock out to pasture. Mr. J. Chandler of Lowor Cove, has sold his farm to a gentleman from Indian valley, for 1,000. or at tho rato of about .filft.00 per aero. .Mr. Chandler expects to loiuain in the valley, A Cove sport captured a lino wild duck tho other day in rather a peculiar way. A braco of Mallards woro sotting near and ho was about to try for them j hinmilf. .Suddenly, with a gioat roar of wiugH, u hiMvl; ilnrted nl tho fowl, ! striking one, but with such forco that the momentum carried the bold assas sin far past and before ho could fly back and secure his prey the said sport cooly walked in and secured tho quiv ering duck. This is ono way to get meat, but it rather rough on tho hawk kind. 'J lios. iiabington and Mr. Turner, of Cornucopia, eojourneJ a few days in town this week.
