The Union Pacilic has introduced a
wrinkle which meets with universal appro
bation from shippers. 'Whenever a ear
containing freight passes a certain point,
Huntington, for instance, the owner is
notified by postal card, and knows when to
expect Its arrival.
An exchange very cleverly remarks : All
burglars are hereby notified not to pay us
any nocturnal visits with the expectation
of getting money. If they want our money
they must call on our delinquent subscrib
ers, a list ot whom will be furnished on
application to this ofllce.

topical songs, sung in "Kitty from Cork,"

The La Grande Gazette says "La Grande
has everything to win and nothing to lose."
This is a painful surprise to the many out
side friends of that town, who had no idea
that it was in such a critical condition.
Fast Orogonian. It ceitainly has a great
deal of ''cheek'' to lose in asking the people
to give it everything for nothing.
Wo haven't heard anything recently
about the great original gas well that was
discovered at La Grande recently, and
don't know whether the poor fellow who
had his whiskers blown oil' when he touched
a match to it, is still alive or not. It may
be that the well is "still a blubberin' " and
ive don't want to state to the contrary un
less we know.
The bridgo recently constructed across
Dagle creek, at Swisher's crossing, at a cost
ot nearly $L'(iOO, was completely demolished
last week. About fifty head of cattle were
being driven across the structure, when,
without any warning, it collapsed, precipi
tating tho bovines in the raging waters of
the creek. The bridgo must have been
defective iu some way as the stream was not
very high.
Dan and Josie Morris Sullivan and their
now Irish Comedy company, iu their latust
Comedy success, "Kittie from Cork," a
bright, sparkling, musical Irish comedy,
replete with all the latest topical and com
ical songs, new dances and specialties, at
Wright's hall Monday and Tuesday nights,
Feb. 21th and 2.'tli. Popular prices 00 and
75 cents. Reserved seats now on sale at
Wright's store.
Never skip the advertisements when read
ing a newspaper. They just show what livo
business men are about, and everyone who
has trading to do will tind that It pays to
trade with those who advertise. Business
men who do not advertise are not up to the
spirit of the ago and their stock lingers on
their hands. Those who do advertise turn
their stock quickly, make a fair prolit and
always have u fresh supply to select from.
This is a fact, and not a lietion, as can be
demonstrated by every successful business
iu the country.
La Grande has lost her grip, got ashamed
of herself, or exhausted her supply of wind.

Hut a very few davs remain unlH Union

work will be commenced on the 0. fc W. T.
railroad to this city. According to infer-
! "lo received by the railroad committee
i 1,L'rt'' Mr-Uunt will not be hero In person
till about March full, as he is compelled to
go to New York in order to sign the bonds
recently issued on his roads, but all neces
sary preparations have been made and the
work will ommence on or before the first
of Mareh. under the supervision of his en
gineer and manager.
A small portion of the right-of-way yet
remains to besecured, and as we mentioned
last week, suits have been commenced
against several parties to secure the same,
but. with a single exception, it is not
thought that these cases will come up for
trial, as the parties seem inclined to be fair
in the matter and compromises will proba
blv he effected. We arc glad to see this
disposition manifested and trust that nil
hard fet'lintr and trouble In the matter will
be avoided if possible. Tho work that is
now about cousuiiintcd has been a stupen
dous one, in which all the residents of the
county (with the exception of those of one
locality) have felt a deep interest and sin
cerely desired to see stiecesfully termina
ted. There U a glorious future in store for 111
ion county and no man should be willing
to lot it be said that he did not contribute
to bring it about to the extent that his
moans would allow.
Prisoners Escape.
About live o'clock Monday afternoon
ltichard Wilde and Frank, Whitson, each
under sentence of a year and a half impris
onment iu the penitentiary for larceny,
made their escape from the county jail in
this city, and at this writing have not been
captured. They got hold of a ease knife in
some way, which they made into it saw,
and being allowed the freedom of the cor
ridor of the jail, took the opportunity to saw
off some of the bars and crawl through into
the yard. From there they climbed over
the high wall and lost no time in putting
space between themselves and the vigilant
ollloiaU who were supposed to have them
in charge Some ladies in a residence near
by saw the men climbing oyer the wall, hut
not knowing they were the prisoners, did
not give the alarm and it was not till two
hours later the discovery was made that the
birds were gone. We understand they
made their appearance at La Grande that
night, and after refreshing themselves with
supper and imbibing pretty freely, pursued
their way. Sheriff Hamilton and several
others arc iu pursuit.
Lvteu. Since tho above was put in type
both the prisoners were captured near
llilgard and were brought back hist night.
'Kitty From;corl.'
Dan Sullivan will he with us in a few
days. This company played at Vancouver,
15. C, a few days since, and the Daily
World of Dec. 2S, said: Dan Morris Sulli
van's company, which played ICitt from
Cork in the Imperial Opera House last
night, is decidedly the best comic opera
troupe which has visited Vancouver this
season. The play was strong throughout
and the panorama of Irish scenes was an
excellent work of art. In addition to be
ing finished actors, each member is a vo
calist of rare merit. The duet, "Come
Listen to My Tale of Woe." by Joss-io Mor
ris Sullivan and Maurice Daniels as ltichard
Thornton, was given most sweetly. Dan
Sullivan was equally good in the four roles
he assumed, and won his way into the
good will of the audience as well as by his
deep sonorous voice as by faithful imper
sonations of the characters ho represented.
This excellent company will appear at
Wright's hall iu this city on Monday and
Tuesday evenings, Februaey 21th and 25th.
Wallowa's Sheriff In Trouble.
Advices from Wallowa county state that
it recent investigation by tho county court
disclosed the fact that Sherilf ltinehart was
about $3,,VjO behind in his accounts, Riue
hart tendered his resignation to the court
which will bo accepted. His bondsmen
made good the deficiency and took a chat
tel mortgage on his property which is
thought tube worth about ffJ.fiOU. No dis
honesty is charged to Mr. ltinehart who is
making every effort in his power to guard
tho county and his friends against loss. It
Is evident that he was unqualified and In
competent to attend to his ollicial duties,
anil had no idea ot how his business mnt
ters stood, trusting entirely to his deputies.
About the only thing ho can be b'amed for
is attempting to do something that he must
have known ho was unfitted for.
A Rancher Goes Insano.
Mr. Charle Stewart, of Pino valley, be
came violently insane last Sunday evening
and had to be taken in charge by his neigh
bors. Ho is about .'52 years of age and has
a wife and live children. He was brought
to this city last .Monday in charge of his
father assisted by Colby Knapp, Dan Tar
ter, Luko Lloyd, Will Spencer, and George
Urown. that many men being necessary to
control linn at timos. The unfortunate
man was examined by Drs. Day and Deer
ing and was sent to the usvlum yesterday
iu charge of Knapp and Tarter, It is
thout'lit that llnunuial losses wa tho cause
of liii insanity. The family and relatives
have the sympathy of ail their neighbors,
audit li bopod that a peedy cure will he
effected and that Mr. Stewart will soon re
turn fully recovered.

How to Get Your Name In the Paper.
Bring in the news. If you aro setting out
trees, tell the editor so and give the num
ber and variety. If you have bought a
piece of land, don't wait for the newspaper
man to find it out from the county records,
but let him know it yourself. It you are
going on a trip don't bo afraid to drop into
the ollice and say so. If some of your fami
ly have been sick or a baby born, don't ex
pect the editor to lind it out fron tho
neighbors or doctors. If making Improve
ments drop a line to the ofllce. A country
editor can't hunt up every detail, and must
largely depend upon the people themselves
to furnish the items. He is glad to receive
all short items, and if ho don't want them
ha won't use them. You need not be
afraid on that score. The next time you
have an item that will bo of interest to three
persons besides yourself, give it to us.

ELGIN
Is surrounded by foothills of tho Blue
mountains that are covered from baso

fir and tamarac timber that can only
be equalled on Puget sound.
ELGIN
Has Water Powerof sufficient capacity
