A commodious two story brick building

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

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."
