Important Decision In Water Case.
Tho celebrated case of Mrs. A. J.
Curtis versus the La Grande Hydraulic
Company, was decided in the Supremo
Court last week. Tho ease involvod
tho right of defendant to take the
water from Mill creek in the town of
La Grande to supply the city with
water. The ease was leferred to At
torney J. R. ("rites as referee to take
testimony and report a decree. Tho
referee decided in favor of the plaintiff.
J I is deeissioti was appealed to tho
ciicuit Judge who reversed thedecission
of the referee. The 'ease was then
appealed to the Supreme Court which
now reverses the deci.-sion made by
the Circuit Judgo and affirms the
decission made by the referee. The
ease involved tho intricate questions
of water rights in this state which are
little understood. It was contested on
both sides by somo of the ablest lawyers
in the state and certainly establishes
tho ability of tho referee as an equity
lawyer, knocks the water works in La
Grande completely out and firmly
establishes tho light of the riparian
owner to the water of the creek.
A Bright Dog.
The following is from the Lexington
Budget, and it tells about adogdosorv-
a pension: "One morning last week
when B. E. Hathaway, of this place,
opened his door ho found a shepherd
dog waiting to bo minuted. Tied to
his collar was a note from Mi. and Mrs.
Russell, parents of Mrs. Hathaway who
live about four miles west of Lexing
ton, stating that they needed attendance,
and a physician. Tho intelligent
animal had been started olfu 2 o'clock
in tho morning and faithfully
porlormou ins errand. Air. and Airs
Russell aro recovering."
Plant Trees.
Why is not this a favorable icnson
for tree planting? Many of our town
residents ought to plant trees this
spring in their yards and gardens.
The shade alone that a healthful grove
of trees furnishes during the heated
season will amply repay all the trouble
and exitonsf of growing them. 1 hoy
aro great ab.oi beiB of poisonous matter,
and tho ornamentation they furnish
to a village homo makes it doubly
valuable. By all means plant tret's.

THE COUNTY 3BAT QUESTION.
A Oat!c Ittsr From Postmaster Catcs
of Tel icr.se t.
Ti 1 "i rr
April S, ISiVi.
EDITOR OltKOON Scot T :
In the last issue of Tub Scot'T there
appears a communication from J. W.
Kuowlos attempting to give its readers
some reasons why the county seat
should hi changed to ha Grande.
Any reasons for a change, to be logical,
should be based uion the general
interests of the entire county, keeping
in view always "the greatest good to
the greatest number" interested in the
change, and there can be no ,mo more
interested in the change than the tax
payer, who will have to foot the bills.
The only reason for Mich change
which Mr. Ivnowles seems able to
present is that tho county officials have
caused a road to be built from Union
to Cornucopia, and therefore, have
compelled the "ranchers" of that sec
tion to trade at Union. It would ap
pear from this line of reasoning that
the opening of a county road through
the Wallowa canyon was for the pur
pose of compelllny the people of
Wallowa to trade at La Grande, instead
of going out to Lowiston, and likewise
the construction of the Pyle canyon
road was to prevent tho people of
Antelope from going to 2Torth I'owder
to trade.
Now if Mr. Ivnowles will examine
tho Union Cornucopia road business
a little farther he will find that the no
torious Oregon Legislature is respon
sible for the construction of said road,
at least an appropriation was nuulo by
that august body to the amount of
"thousands of dollars" for its construc
tion. I presume when ho finds out that
tho legislature is responsible for that
which he charges to the county court
of Union county he will advocate tho
removal of the state capitol from
Salem, the headquarters of said legis
littuie, to some remote point along the
coast.
If Mr. Knowles is a man capablo of
sound, logical reasoning, wc would be
pleased to have him tell the readers
of Tin: Scoct which, in his opinion,
would bo the cheapest for the taxpayers
of this county, to remove these obnox
ious and "outrageous" county ollicials
from office next June, or move the
county scat away from Ihevi'l
Mr. Knowles' proposition to tho
"ranchers" of Pino and Eaglo is to
help La Grande get the county seat
and La Grande will, in turn, help them
to be cut oil' into Baker county, (it is
presumed that La Grande and Baker
oily are in accord with this proposi
tion.) Now please tell us Mr. Knowles, as
a reasoning man, if you sincerely think
it would bo light, or honorable, if
tho people of Pino and Eagle expert to
leave Union county to vote a tax on
the pooplo of this county which they
do not expeel to help pay'l
"But" you answer, "they will carry
their proportion of tho indebtedness
with them into Baker county," but
bear in mind, that if tho county sent
should bo removed by reason of tho
assistance you propose for La Grande,
you will expect La Grande to perform
her part of the contract when tho next
legislature meets, and, if successful,
you would be out of Union county be
fore any levy could bo mado by the
county court to meet tho expense of
removal ; and oven if you should carry
with you your proportion of indebted
ness for new buildings, do you think
it prudent for the voters, or taxpayers
rather, to vote an unnecessary burden
of debt upon themselves when they
could as well get out without it?
Would it not seem much inoro consi
derate and fair-minded on tho part
of all voters in that section if they
actually want to go into Baker county,
to say to the taxpayers of Union
county : "As wo expect to leave you
wo will not bo instrumental in voting
a tax upon you, nut will oxert our 111
liueiice, in every way possible, lor our
own good, as well as yours, to keop the
indebtedness of this county as low as
possible until wo leave."
Evidently if that section expects to
withdraw from this county it is not
prudent for them to assist in voting
unnecessary burden of debt upon us,
for if they do, wo will most certainly
insist on their remaining with us to
help pay it. This is a matter that
all taxpayers should consider well be
fore they act, as they must foot tho
bills; and those voters who aro not
taxpayers should bo most considerate
toward those who aro.

Description of a Pine Forest In the State
of North Carolina.
Ill IHtAU Hoi TIIKII.V NKtVK, )
IU1.H1011. N. 0.,
ISiutuu Onivio.s ScotT :
Tho Pine tree grows in all pads of
tho globe; but in the largest forests,
and to the largest size in northern
Huropeaud North America. The pines
of Km ope are often called fir. Tho
pines of North America may bo divided
into two great families; viz, the white
or Milt limes ot .Maine, Canada,
it 1 1 iir- . 1 1
..j T.i... 1.. ... u.... .... 'im...u.. I
Silverware, Guns
may be generally divided into long
and short leaf pine?. Both good for
lumber, but the long leaf pine, the
more valuable for lumber and naval
stores.
It is a long leaf pine foret of
Carolina and Georgia which wt
North
wih
to show to our leaders in this
letter.
Many if not all of you know what a1
pine forest is. You have seen the
pines with short trunks and long J
lateral branches near the ground. (
You have seen the ground beneath
them well covered with dead twigs or
branches, ami without anything green !
growing upon it. You know it would
be impossible to drive a team through ,
such a forest, except where roads are
cut. You know that the thick lops of
the trees nearly if not quite exclude
the sunshine for the whole day. A ,
long leaf pine forest is very ditl'erent in )
till of its possibilities and appearances. 1
Many of the trees grow to a height of
fifty feet without a branch. Then a '
bush like tot) is formed, with no twigs j
or small branches. The limbs grow in j
all directions and in all shapes; and'
do not make a handsome top or a thick ;
shade, and yet the long leaf pine is I
a beautiful tree. With trunk as '
straight and perfect as a Corinthian !
column, and top gracefully nodding I
in the breeze, this tree always presents .
a work of Nature pleasing and attract-1
ivc to the eye. A forest ol these trees
which has not been touched by the
axe is a sight, once seen, never to be
forgotten. For fifty feet from the
ground, the vision is almost clear in
all directions; obstructed only by the
trunks of trees, beautiful columns in
Nature's great temple. The ground
green with tufts of the emerald lined
grass, the white sand gleaming between
these tufts of grass in the shafts of
golden sunshine, falling between the
swaying tops of tho trees.
Instead of being compelled to cut a
road through such a forest, no roads
are needed. No stones or stumps or
fallen trees encumber the ground, no
dead branches endanger the eyes of
the incautious traveler; but where
in any or all directions, it is not only
possible but ploasent to diivo the
largest team, (he finest pleasure carri
age, or to ride horseback, 011 the hottest
day, without let or hindrance. There
are few highways, and no fences in
the.-o forests. The whole ground is as
good ti highway as could be made ;
and fences are not needed. The travel
er has only to be sure of his direction
and go as he will. To an observant
person riding or walking in a long leaf
pine forest, the trees themselves present
a very interesting and ever changing
study. Occasionally a tree with knobs
on tho trunk is seen ; these trees aro
likely to make the celebrated cat faced
or curled pine lumber. Again we may
sco a long slender tree bout over until
a largo part of its trunk is parallel with
the ground. Such trees never recover
their lost straight and upright position,
but livo and grow as they are bent.
Sometimes we see a very large, tall,
straight tree inclined like tho tower of
Pisa. It has stood so for centuries
perhaps, and will continue to stand in
that position for centuries, unless tho
axo of tho cutter drops it to the ground.
'The long leaf pine forest furnishes
almost as much for man as tho Orien
tal bamboo and palm. It furnishes
hard and handsome lumber; strong
and durablo timber; tho best possible
luel; rosin and spirits of turpentine,
and a life and health giving homo to
overworked and prostrated bodies, and
to people alllicted with any diseases of
throat or lungs. And they grow 111
tho most dnsirablo and healthful
climate within the continent of
America.

To The Ploneors Of Union County.
After returning from an extended
ramble throughout tho eastern states
and through Canadas to the homo of
my choice in Grand Rondo valley,
nothing has more impressed mo than
tho fact that many of my old pioneer
friends aro quietly sleeping in tho
silent city of the dead, anil that those
who yet reninin are rapidly yielding
to tho ravages of timo. Thero is a
fraternal tio that binds together those
who bravely met tho arduous vicissi
tudes of pioneer life in this valley and
other sections of Eastern Oregon which
I earnestly desire to see strengthened
and fostered. Kor this purposo I be
lievo it to bo our duty to organize a
Union County Pioneer Assocation.

Death of Ja-.nes 1'iyne Recent
Happenings.
Local
Covk. April !,
Our quiet community was gieatly
shocked last Thursday by the sad in
telligence that Jas. Payne had taken
his life in his own hands and conitni
led suicide. Mr. Payne had been in
poor health for some time past and it
is thought his business affairs so preyed
on his mind th.it d spondouey which
he was unable to throw otr overlook
him and the result was jc!i destruction
in a moment of temporary aberration.
Mo arose early and kissing his wife
went to the barn near tho houo and
by means of a rope thrown over a
beam managed so suspend himself,
though his feet almost touched the
lloor, till choked. He seemed to have
died without a struggle. His features
were composed and his neck scarcely
discolored. Mrs. Payne soon after
five o'clock noticed that her husband
had left behind on going out his coat
and vest, something very unusual for
him, and suspieiouiug that all was not
right, huriiedly dto.-sed and went in
search. She noon came to the awful
sight of the limp body hanging just
over the stairs leading into the upper
story of the building, ller scieams
soon brought help, but tboy could do
nothing except take tho. unfortunate
down and tenderly carry tho lifeless
form into the house. The funeral was
conducted .Saturday by the Masonic
order, members from different parts
of tho valley attending. Rev. Win.
Powell preached the funeral sermon
and read the obituary following. The
procession to tho cemetery consisted
of over thirty vehicles. The family of
tho deceased are almost heart-broken
over tho sorrowful occurence. They
have tho sincere sympathy of their
many friends in their great loss.
The obituary was received too late,
and being lengthy, wo aro unable to
publish it this week. It will appear
in our next issue. Kditok St'orr.l
Arbor day will be observed by the
Cove public school on Friday after
noon of this week at 1 o'clock. The
observance of the day will be under
