"What wilt thou Esther"? look abroad with
me,
To yon high hills where my wide domains
"run !
'Kvcn unto half',' I gladly give to thee.
My queen, my queen, tnc fairest 'ncath

See these broad acres teeming rich with

The hills of Etliiop In their verdure sweet,
Fair Indiu's land made glad with gentle
rain,
'Even unto half I lay it at thy feet t
And here the splendor of my glittering court
Where ixatdens smile ami jewels Hash and

The crystal creeks where schools of gold-

'Even unto half I give to thee, to-day !
The wide, wide fields, where brawny slave

And vineyards sleep, Ah, beauteous
queen behold !
Say but thy choice, and at thy feet, e'en
now,
One half I lay of land, of slaves, of gold 1
I'll make thee mistress o'er the palace
grand.
And all the joy that wealth can give is
thine.
To thee shall bow each prince that guards
our land,

What is thy wish, and what thy choice, my

Thou scest the gold, and knowestthelands

The palace high, the garden's wealth serene
'Even unto half my queen, I give to thee!
Then Esther answered : "Fair the spreading

And sweet the land where Ethiop's sun is

Rich are the harvests India's valleys yield.
Rare are her gems that sparkle In the

And grand. Oh king, thy palaco wrought

Grand as it glitters 'ncath the noonday

Union with the electric light. Union
to have awoolen mill I To old timers
who remember Union in its infancy it
seems almost incredible. Time works
wonders. Mr. Peter Cofl'iu and my
father in tho full of 18G2 located on
Catherine creek !120 acres of land on
what is known as the Coffin farm.
Then this was a wild Indian country,
no settlement near, Powder River
diggings, (old Auburn) and Walla
Walla being tho nearest. There was
only four settlers on Catherine creek
at that time Mr. Conrad Miller, who
settled on the Miller farm whero the
flouring mill now stands, Mr. E. II.
Lewis, who still holds tho fort on his
original location, and is a hale and
hearty old gentleman yet, Mr. M. C.
Israel, who settled on tho farm now
owned by Mr. Geo. Ames, aud Mr.
Fred Nodine who located on tho farm
now known as the Swackhamer place
in North Union. Mr. Nodino that
summer cut and stacked tho first hay
ever put up on the creek, two or three
stacks. Ho cut the hay up and down
the creek where it grew the best. He
had to haul it on brush, having no
wagon. The Indians came down and
run off his mules. He tracked them
out in tho mountains east of Union for
somo distance, but could not overtake
them, so he lost his mules, also tho
Indians. He then heard of a man
over at Walla Walla who had a few
head of cows for sale. He went over
and purchased them and that was his
first start in cattle in Grande Rondo
valley, an industry that made him ono
of the most successful stock raisers of
Eastern Oregon.
Late in the fall of 1802 John An
drew Jackson Chapman and Mr. Hen
ry located 320 acres of land this side
of Catherine creek, where the business
part of Union is now located. Sonic
time after Mr. Nodine bought Mr.
Chapman's land and the Into Mr.
Sam'l Hannah bought Mr. Henry's
land. In 1870 I was working for Mr.
Hannah in his store and ho offered mo
the land, with the exception of a few
lots sold, for $500. I did not know
enough to buy. Seven or eight years
after that he sold it for if 1700 to Mr,
Abo Eaton, who mado a sinallj fortune
by ins purchase.
Mr. Chapman built the first business
house in Union, tho old Wright store
where the drug storo now is. Ho built
the middle building first and after the
town was surveyed added on tho front
store out to the line.
In 1803 thero was somo emigration
to Union. Tho war was whooping
things up lively back east and many
came tho plains across to cscapo tho
terrors of civil war. Union and vicini
ty caught some of tho emigrants, many
of them stopped and made somo of our
best citizens.
The late Mr. W. T. Ficklin arrived
at Union, "busted," with a largo fami
ly, his wagon drawn by two cows. Ho
bought tho old Ficklin farm of Mr,
John Dobbins, and it proved to bo a
fino farm. Mr. Ficklin was a fine
man for the place, kind, good hearted
and a gentleman. Peace to his ashes
Letters came to Union m early days
directed to ''Catherine creek, Grande
Rondo valley, Oregon, care of C. Ja
cobs & Co., Walla Walla, W. T." Tho
mail was brought over on horseback
tho carrier charging seventy-fivo conts
for his trouble. It was three months
before you could send a letter and re
ceive an answer from tho cast, iuuil
went to Portland and then by steamer
by tho way of the Isthmus of Panama.
I ho fall of 02 Boiso Basin was struck
and in tho spring of 'G3 excitement
ran high. Tho roads through Grande
Ronde woro lined with pack trains.
Tho Coffin ranch, Union and tho Proc
tor place in Pylo canyon did u rushing
business feeding man and beast. From
that time on Union commenced to
grow. Tho growtli of tho town has
been slow but sure. Sometime in the
futuro it will bo a largo town. It may
not bo in our lime, but it will surely
bo to in tho sweet by and by.

THE COUHTY SEAT.
A Resident of Indian Valley Talks Sensibly
on the County Seat Question.
Ei-niN, Oregon, March 21.
1890.
Emtoii Okkbon bcout:
As tho time approaches for tho peo
ple and taxpayers of tho county to
decide as to whether or not the county
seat shall bo moved to La Grande or
remain where it is, persons who feel
an interest in the matter begin to
question themselves as to what course
is best to pursue in tho matter.
Self interest and of the county gen
erally will prompt a very largo major
ity to vote to luivo the county seat re
Silverware, Guns
main whoie it is. Why? Simply bo
cause our county buildings are amply
sufficient for tho prevent. Union is
near the geographie.il center of the
county andjthero npirenrs nt tho pre
sent time no necessity for any change.
Our county is already largely in debt
aggregating something like $70,000
and a change in the county seat would
increase our indebtedness from $0,0l)0
to 7",000 making a total debt of about
$150,000. Besides this if the county
rent is moved to La Grande it is there
at the extreme western side of the
county is neither central nor conven
ient for a majority of tho taxpayers
and persons who necessarily attend
the seat of government for business
purposes. It renders it very inconven
ient to our brethren in the southeast
ern portion of tho county who are al
ready far enough away from the county
seat. At the present tinio any dis
ruption or any measures which are
likely to produce disruption in our
county within its business or bounda
ries should not be toler.Ued. Wo are
now on the era of what must be doomed
a new era for us. Railroad building
interlocking our country is just com
mencing and th-' changes that will be
wrought in business aud business
centers in the next few years wo can
hardly conjecture and it certainly
would now be wise for the people to
get in now an 1 mako costly changes
that they may be sorry for in two or
three years. For the convenience of
every section we fool that tho county
seat should bo on the Hunt line of
railroad as there is but little doubt
but it will be extended from Union
down through the Lower Powder river
country and tap not only tho rich
agricultural and mining districts of
the southeastern portion of our coun
try but alto opening a fino mining
country on the other side of Snake
river. This will put tho people of the
northern portion of our country in
direct railroad communication with
those in tho southeastern portion and
not only furnish convenient traveling
facilities for the people but afford a
splendid market at their verv doors
for their surplus products. With the
county seat remaining when it now is,
the building and ixK'iidiug of Hunt's
lino of railroad through tho entire
length of our mineral and agricultural
resources, resulting from the sumo
will add very greatly to our unity,
wealth and importance and attract to
us business enterprises that will bo
worth thousands of dollars to us.
Agitation and changes in business,
county seat tights and local wrangles
liro very detrimental to tho interostd of
a county or slate. It detracts capital
from being investod and deters immi
gration. The present county neat agi
tation has been thousands of dollars
injury to us in many respects and
the only redeeming feature of it is that
it no doubt has hastened tho incoin
ing'of tho Hunt road, our greatest boon.
It is certainly not to tho best interests
of taxpayers and the people generally
to move tho county scat at the present
time and whilo wo of the northern end
of tho county believe it to be to our
best interests to have the county seat
remain whero it is for tho present, it
seems to u:i that it is also better for
tho.county generally. There is hard
ly any reason to doubt but that with
in -1 or .) years our southeastern brolh
orn will desire to be divided oil' into
a county to themselves aud when that
occurs we shall neither want tho
county seat at La Grande nor Union
and wo would then ptobably agitato
again for a roinoval. LutH keep tho
county scat where it is till wo see whero
wo want it in the futuro.

Description of a Visit to the
Ilawkeye State.
RECALLING SOME EARLY SCENES.
Sojourning Among tho Farmers or Kansas-
-Notes by tho Way.
ICsboN, Knuni, March 2IJ, 189 J.
UniTou Onuoox Scoirr:
My last letter to the Scorr was
written from my native Hawk-eyo
state. My mission there was to onco
more see relatives and friends of my
voutli.aiul view again those familiar
! scones which by intuitive love wo in
! olino to lemoinber. While changes
! innumerable confronted me in tho
I line of progressive, changeable and
perishable humanity, yet in nature's
J work-shop there are few changes.
I Tho old landmarks aro as unchanged
, in appearance as 1 left thorn nearly
twenty yearn ago, and as, prehnps, a
! hundred' vears hence will find them;
tho same soil yields tho samo product
to tho farmer for his toil, and tho same
sun lends its life-invigorating inllucnco
to feeble vegetation in its infancy,
while each and all, respectively, play
their part in tho groat drama of na
ture, for as tho melancholy, yet
immortal Knox so beautifully sang:
" avo tho same our fathors have been
Wesee the same sights our fathers have seen
Wo drink the same stream and view the
SHtlll! sun
And run the same raco our fathers have
run.1'
I spent several weeks in paying my
respects to friends of other days, and
would suggest to my Oregon friends if
any there bo who have been many
years away from the scones of their
childhood) that even a fow weoks spent
in a like manner is, I think, in many
instances worth more than hundreds
of dollars invested in apotlioearv m'Gpo
and "hieh like"
1 saw the old school houso whore by
degrees I had pumped and thumped
into my space-box tho significance of
tho first letter of tho nlphabot. Had
1 then been able to realize the intiin
sic value of a "full caso of nonpariol"
for a "long take on piece work" 1
might, possihiy have tookoii jnoio
zealously to my p's and q' and filled
up that space box, besides providing
mysolf with a more liberal distribu
tion of "sorts." If you don't under
stand that "typo-ieal" illustration ask
Brownlow, or your worthy state print
er, liven my old friend of tho hal
cion days of yore, Jap Stevens, might
yet remember enough of tho avoca
tion of his boyhood to get tho idea.
But to return to that old school-house
"whore 1 played upon the greon somo
twenty yeais ago." Yes, it is "altered
now and tho benches aro roplaced."
It has even been moved to the village
near by and occupies the very promi
nent position of a public institution.
It was on tho occasion of tho weokly
coining togethor of a powerful organ
ization known as tho Slumptown
literary and debating club that I sat
as an honorary member of tho aforo-1
said Kocioly and listened to bewilder
ing flights of eloquence such as would
almost thrill tho verybonos of a Web
ster, Clay or Patrick Henry to tako hi'
opiration, hook-up their joints, as it
were, and stride forth in tho land in
the dead hour of night to light anew
tho battles of tho past and "dio" yes
I know they would havo wanted to
dio "like dogs." But if thoy had como
out thorn would havo been bloodshed
you-botchor-lifo, for we woro ready for
'em. Tho ghoulish forbodings of ovil
seemed to lurk in tho very frame-work
of the faithful old building whoso walls
have been so often tried by similar
outbursts of oratory, but tho tondor
inomories of the past wero so rifo with
in my breast that I would roadily havo
staked my life-blood on getting away
if tho opportunity could havo boon
presented. Tho ouoslion was, "re
solved that intemperance has caused
more suffering than all other evils
combined" ami thero was not enough
of either side of tho question loft to
excite a remark unless tho remark
was naturally a little excitable. But
tho ghosts of theso great men evident
ly know that the Stump Junction do
bating club was in dead earnest with
blood in itn oyo and boing wise men
thoy took advico from each other.
But I will leave the old school-house to
niinglo with other scenes and travorso
the old path through tho lonely wood
whero, tin a barefooted boy I havo
wended my way to ischool. How and
why tho lanes and by-waya wero so
seemingly diminutive in length may,
prohiijis, bo iiccouutod for by n vnrya
tiug vissiou that expands and diminish
es according to tho weather. Soon
I stood at the threshold of tho houso
wlioro I was born, and all nature
seomod hushed and silent as I knocked
at tho old broken door and cast a
weird glanoo at my old asli-hoppor
play ground whilst waiting a strangers
welcome. It came in tho person of
a black-oycd little houso-wifo with
three little ohargufl to keop who stared
at mo in blank burpriso as I oxplaiuod
to their mother why 1 wished to too
Received at A. N.
the old home again. Hut a few mo
ments idle chut, whilst my thoughts
and eyes wore vaguely employed, wero
sufficient to garner all thu fruits that my
estimate of this visit oft fondly anti
cipated, but now less fondly realized,
could suggest, so I went my way,
while my unpoetic mind mused again
in the line of such thoughts as is not
given mo tho power to compose in
rvthinatic verso:
''The leaves of the oak and willow shall fade
He scattered around aud teu'etlu'r he laid,
Ami the young and thu old and thu low
and the high
Shall moulder to dust and together shall
lie."
While there was an occasional va
cant chair to make the truthful signi
ficance of thu above lines more real,
there were many new facea that had
joined in lifes giddy whirl, and thus
tho world rolls onward, ever onward.
After a few weeks sojourn in tho vi
cinity of Iowa City I bearded the Rock
Island via Omaha Lincoln and Be
atrice, Neb., for tho jxiint from which
I now write. Hero I havo a brother
with a wife and four children who has
heard the dismal wind of Kansas sing
its doleful dirgo for about a dozen
years. He was among the first set
tlers of Jewell county and saw its pop
ulation grow even in that time from
nothing to twenty thousand and ita
wild prairies transformed into a mod
ern Egypt of corn. The farmers don't
need to provide cribs for their corn
here, but spill it down on tho ground
of two or threo thousand bushels in a
I pile. Thoy usually crib tho shelled
corn, however, and feed it in that form,
and tho cobs are used for fuel. Crops
are not a dead certainty hero, as thero
was almost a total failuro hero in 18S7,
but farmers havo fared pretty well,
nevertheless, when compared to othor
localities, and woro it in tho order of
things for tho farmers to bo allowed
anything moro than a bare living after
the shylocks havo got their numerous
pounds of llesh, tho lands of tho much
maligned Kansas would blossom as
the roso, and merry groups of happy
children would frolic and prosperity
smile in localities whero now tho wind
blowoth whero it listeth and no human
voice nll';::)', wilh its moluneli;; song.
