A commodious two story brick building will be erected on the corner of Main and 1 streets, by Ed. Hcmlllard as soon as material can bo obtained.

The ladles of the Union Cemetery Society have appointed a committee to superintend tho improvement of the grounds and dis burse the money rnied for that purpose. following Is the committee appointed: S 0.

They are required to meet at the office of the Union Heal Estate ami tuning exchange next Saturdav at 8 o'clock p. in. The school directors of 'this district have posted notices calling a public meeting of tho taxpayers of the district to take place Friday, July 11. ISfjO, at 2 o'clock p. m. "to consider the advisability of constructing an addition to tho school building." It lias been found that tho present rooms ure in adequate to accomodate the increased number of pupils, also that it will be neces sary to employ another teacher, making five in all. This speaks well for the prog ress of the school, Tho Baker City Blade says : "A hot dis oussion was had by the council on tho lo cation of the electric street lights, it being charged that the light committee had been locating the public lights to benefit their own propvrty." Thoro can be no doubt that the location of street lights greatly in crease the value of adjoining property, not only by being a convenience, but by at trading trade, and too much care cannot bo taken in judiciously distributing them. Wlnlo we do not think such a charge will be made against the city council of Union, they certainly discriminate against one- lialt tho people when thev locate all tho lightb on the woat side of Main street. CHEAP MILLINERY GOODS. A Rare Chance for tho Ladies of Union , and Vicinity. wo take this method of informing the public that in-order to maken change iu business our entire stock of millinery goods are being disposed of at cost. Tho goods will bo sold iu wholesale or retail lots. Wo moan just exactly what wc say and those wishing anything in our lino should avail themselves of the opportunity to got the sumo at actual cost. BID WELL it BENSON. Abominable in tho Extreme. the Baker City Bovcillc says: "Tho Keveillo U creditably informed that the linn of Hughes & Ward, of Portland, havo placed on salo a lot of property situated some throe miles southeast of town iuid known as the old stone quarry. They havo divided tho tract up into lots 23x100 and already bilked a number of Portland peo ple. Aa tlrm friend to Baker City, the llovoille objects to such action on tho part of two notorious and worn-out preachers who have, unfortunately for Portland, been aliowod to call themselves real estatodcnl ors. Tho hind they arc oH'erlng for sale is not worth 25 cents an acre, so far as town projierty is concerned, and never will be. A few more such breaks and Baker City will be iu a nice pickle."
