he very much dislikes to do. This is
a bad state of affairs and not creditable
to our monicd men. The population
of Union would bo increased two or

and dollar addition will be made to the
school house but many of tho families
who would like to send their children
to school hero will bo unable to find a

quite evident that tho moss hasn't been

monied men oven yet.
Thk West Shore, which all residents
of tho Pacific coast take a pardonable

Pitoi'. PicKuitt.vo, basing his conclu
sions on a series of photographs of tho
planet Mars in April, concludes that
tho southern temperate regions of
Mara havo just experienced an irrup
tion of Jpolar ico no less reinarkablo
than that which still adds tho est of
dangor to tho navigation of our own
North Atlantic.
Evkuv man is a part of his town.
Tho town embraces tho fortune, and
in somo measure, at least, takes on
tho character of tho man. So loyalty
is tho lino of all well shapod human
nature. Tho man who does not stand
up for his town is in somo way dwarfed.
Thero is soniothing wrong about him.
His fellows will pass thoir judgment
upon him, and tho chances aro that
whilo ho may add to tho discomfort of
others, ho will not escape making him
self unhappy.
Tin: managers of tho North Pacific
Industrial Exposition which is to bo

Oct. 25, have our thanks for compli

secretary, writes as follows: "Tho timo
has now arrived when tho character
of tho exposition can be largoly deter
mined, and I am pleased to be able to
stato that in every respect it bids fair
to excel any over held on this coast
and to equal any in the entire country

Tin: words of Mrs. Lolaud Stanford
of San Francisco contain much food
for reilcetion when she says: "1
ttiink it absolutely cruel to give a
young man or woman who must de
pond ijpon their own exertions for a
livelihood a classical education pure
and simplo. Thero is scarcely a week
that Mr. Stanford is not asked to givo
employment to graduates of Yalo and
Harvard. Ho has six of thorn as car
conductors on tho Market street lino
now."
Somi: genius has made a calculation
showing that every column in a news
paper contains from twelvo to twenty
thousand distinct pieces of metal, dis
placement of any ono of which wil
cause a blunderer typographical error.
And yet somo people lay claim to par
ticular smartness if they can discover
an error in a nowspapor.
To read tho La Grande Gazetto one
would think that "dealings in dirt'
aro going on at a rapid rato over there.
As not ono in five of these reported
transactions aro filed for record in tho

thero is somo wind remaining in that

Mil. Hi.aink is very rough on tho Mo
Kinley bill. When ho tells tho farmers
that "thoro is not a section or a lino in
tho entire bill that will open a market
for another bushel of wheat or another
barrel of pork," as ho does in his letter
to Sonator Fryo, ho robs tho advocates
of tho measure of one of their strongest
arguments. Mr. Ulaino says in effect
that tho bill will not help tho farmers
at all. Yot it was tho farmer whom
Mr. MoKinloy was going to save ; tho
farmer's mortgage which tho bill was
to pay. Now llavon Register.
