' The Inland llcpiiblieiui is the name of a new paper started at Athena, Umatilla county. Air. 0. W. Par.-oll arrived in this city lait Friday from Flushing, Mich, with a mini her of line Clydesdale horses. The copious rains that fell for several days this week came just at the right time anil was highly appreciated by the farmers. Tin: ScorT olllcc has been moved to its own new and elegant quarters on 0 street. Friends calling on us will please bear this in mind. One who constructs a foundation for a building may enforce a mechanic's lien therefor, whether a buildingis erected there on or not according to the decision of the supreme court of Indiana. Next Saturday evening lias been chosen as the time for celebrating our county seat victory and the friends of Union, through out the comity, sue invited to bo present. Come and be made welcome. A disastrous i'ue occurred in Seattle last Thursday, which entirely consumed one block composed principally of hotels and lodging houses. The loss is supposed to be about $00,000. Five people perished in the flames. Dr. George's Klectric Silver Body Bat tery furnishes the strongest current and is the most dm able of any electric belt yet made. It has cured hundreds of severe ases of rheumatism, liver and kidney troubles, female weakness, and will prove a benclit to almost any disease except catarrh. Jasper G Stevens, Cove, agent. The Alpine club at Portland, Oregon, are having under consideration the ex ploration of the unexplored region between Olympla, Wash., and the ocean, Just as soon as that region is sufllcicntly known to enable the company to procure cheap guides the club will put explorers in that interest iug Held. Attention is called to AV. K. Bowkcr's advertisement of the New Elkhorn Livery Stablo which he lias just opened in this city. He has a line lino of horses, buggies and express wagons and will furnish turnouts at reasonable prices. -Give hiiii a portion of your patronage rfnd encourage this new enterprise "Wo have received some documents sent out by thoyeUon seed oil producers to ex pose tho'nianner in which lard is made for theiharkot. The matter is said to be com posed of evidenco taken from the congress ional committecof agriculture, and it makes a man sea sick to read it. Tho mothods used in making this article arc almost as nauseating as those used by La Grande in securing votes. A grand auction sale of thoroughbred short horn cattle will take placo in this city on the 14th inst. They were brought in this week by Mr. O. W. Parsoll, of Flushing, Michigan, and arc the li nest and best importations ever brought to Union county. This is a rare chance for our farmers and stock men. For full pavtleu rcad the ad. which appears in another column. The section house at tho dopot, occupied by Mr. Yerberry and family, was discovered to bo on llro about 8 o'clock last Monday morning, but thellames had got under such headway that it was impossible to save the building which was burned to the ground. Most of the household cll'ccts were saved. It is thought that a defective flue was the cause of the lire as it caught near tho roof. There isn't and never was the faintest trace color or shade of prejudice about us, says tho Beviow, but dot rot our American hide if wo would believo under oath a witness who pronounced route "rutc," and may wo bo everlastingly jiggered if wo wouldn't dis inherit our great aunt or granUinother for marrying a native born idiot who would oiit rago his ancestry by substituting cythcr and nythcrforthegood old fashioned North American pronunciation of either and neither. News is received of tho destruction of Weiser City, by lire, which occurred hut Friday. Tho fire, when discovered, had gained such headway that all attempts to extinguish it proved futile and tho Humes soon spread to adjoining buildings and to botli sides of Commercial street. Every building on Commercial ttreet is Eaid to liavo been burned, and but little remains of the once promising little city. Tho loss is claimod to bo over $125,000. Mrs. George Wright, of this city, has our thanks for a two pound roll of butter mado from tho evening nnd morning milking of her favorite Jcrsoy cow, "Juanita." Tho cow is a small, pure blooded Jersey, a per fect beauty and romarkablo for the Holi ness of her milk which yields fourteen pounds of buttor each week two iwutida a day, To make tho roll of buttor referred to above, two milkingi were required- Tlw milk was placed in a bowl and being bent with a lork for a few minuted tho re wit was two )ouiuU of butter that cannot be ex celled in quality or flavor. Mrs. Wright is justly proud of the animal and it ia need less to say would not part from It ot any For want of space, Inst week, wc were unable to give as full an account of the pioneer meeting in this city as wo wished. Some of the matter that was omitted will still be of interest. Following is the beautiful ami appro priate poem, written ami rend by Judge Brainard : Tin: oi.D riONinins. And here you all are. We are glad you have come Buchel. Hannah and Susan. John, Bud, Hen and Tom; Green. Jim, Josh and Hilly: Sam, Dunham and .lake. Put it tharr, bovs, tharr; Let us" shake ! "Let us shake; Wo greet you to-day With three hearty cheer. Hurrah for the gallant Bravo old pioneerj. The tenderfoot comes And he ru-hes around. From Grande Hondo to Portland Spokane, nnd the Sound. Ami he never once nods To you, I or .Jim, And I guess we don't worry A mill dam for him. His head is swelled big For a million Ibis year, But his heart is too small For an old pioneer. They say that back cast, Bo you wealthy or poor, You may live half a score At your neighbor's next door; That you'll pass and repass Every day in the week, Look gruni, cold and sour And neither one pcnk. If you differ in politics, Faith, party or creed Away with all friendship: Stick to nickels and greed It's la mode in the east But 'twill never do here, For that'.- not the stylo of the old pioneer. Arc tho neighbor folks sick, You II find Manda there, And Harriet some dainty Will surely prepare, Lou ami Jim will be 'round With their kindest regard, With hearts just as soft As their old bauds are hard. If an emigrant lacks A roof o'er his head, Hoes his wife need assistance, His children want bread, Where will he appeal AY'hcn trouble appears? Of course, to (ho hearts Of the old pioneers. No doubt in the lands Of the ultra mountain, There are matrons and maids Men's hearts to enchain, As fair as the lillies That bloom in their vales. And as sweet as the scents The red rose exhales, But tho tints of the sky In the east, at their best, Never beam like the beauties That glow in the west. Hats off! How low, boys! Hero smile our own dears The daughters and wives Of the old pioneers. Now hale and farovvcll ! To the ones that are gone; Kvery month in tho year Some of us pass on. Wav out on the plains Marching on to the west, And over the sea To the iIes of tho blost And they say it's a country Tho fairest yet found, E'en surpassing in beauty The vale of Grando Hondo. With never a mortgage. A tax or a rent, Where wo all can got claims That don't cost a cent: Where the lord of the Isles In splendor appears, With a welcoming smile To the old pioucor. Following arc the rules adopted by the association : The object of this association are to secure and foster a fraternal feeling among tho old pioneers who laid tho foundation of our present civilization ami organize a series of annual reunions for social intercourse and to do any and ill tilings that in their judgment may tond to perpetuato tho memory of those who have or may hereafter explore tho mysteries of that undiscovered coun try beyond tho dark river from whoso bourne no travel worn pilgrim roturns. Any peraon who settled in Union county prior to Jan. 1, 1S70 may bc como a mcmbor of this organization by paying tho sum of ono dollar as a membership fee with annual dues of one dollar each succeeding year, provided however that no membership feo shall bo charged to women and that they whoso names are enrolled as moin- bers shall have an equal voico in all business proceedings of tho society.
