Oni: Pennsylvania glass-inanufnotur-ing corporation claims to Imvo made $1,500,000 tho past yenr, yot tho Mo- Kinloy bill gives this "infant industry" more "protection." Tho city attorney of Tncomn is send ing out notices to tho city alderman who recently voted themselves $!)00 extra compensation each, that if tho money ia not refunded within live days suit will bo instituted for its recovery. ADDITIONAL LOCALS. Si'ijakino of the wool market, tho current number of Rrad.stroct'H says: "Tho producers areas confident us ever this hcaeon, but neither manufacturers nor dealers scorn to bo taking hold no readily as last year or the year before." Guatemala and San Salvador are at war, and tho forces of tho latter wore victorious in tho first engagement, dri ving tho Guatemalan back across their boundary. Mexico htands ready to take a hand, if the belligerents persist in hostilities. Tninii: are nearly 1,000 people at Wenatclie, on tho Upper Columbia, and it is claimed that no census enu merator Iiub visited tho place. This is another evidence of tho eilioiont man ner in which tho census was taken. We do not wonder at tho numerous kicks being niado all over the country. A Konooii teacher says that pupils who havouccess to newspapers at homo when compared to those who have not uro better readers, better spellers but ter grammarians, excellent in pronun ciation and read more understand ingly, and obtain a good knowledge of geography in almost half tho time it requires others.

Tiik building up of towns in advance of tho supporting country results only in disappointment aiid an after depress ion from which it is very hard to rally. Hotter to havo a slow and steady growth than to dHcount tho future too . much and have to submit to tho con sequence a departing population and vacant houses on every corner. Union's growth from the time of its inception has been slow but sure, and at this time everything gives promise of its bucoming i city of considerable proportions. Now enterprises uro starting on every hand and scarcoly u day passes but what some undertaking designed to benefit tho town is brought ) light. HamukIi P. Putnam of tho American ' Secular Union, delivered a very inter esting and instructive lecture in this city lust Monday night.

McDonald has purchased tho Troy ranch of 100 acres on the hill near Summorvillo, for the sum of $3700. Frank Uayliss, a logger, had his leg broken at ICamelu last Saturday.

Tin: Daily Reveille, of Baker City, is now receiving tlio latest associated press dispatches, and has otherwise been greatly improved. Such enter prise on tho part of tho manager ought to bo appreciated by tho citizens of Raker City, and they should recipro cate with a hearty patronage. There is now no necessity for tho denizens of that thriving little city to patronize foreign journals in order to receive the latest news. A convention of tho sheriffs of tho thirty-one counties of Oregon was hold at the court house in Salom Monday July 21st.
