The Union Pacilic railroad company has discharged all Chinamen along its line and secured white help instead. The Summerville Annotator has entered its second year with brilliant prospects for the future. We wish it success. The report of the county officers will show that over one-half ot the county expenses (last year was for roads and bridges. G. W. Hunt is scattering money pretty freely-on tho Gray's Harbor branch of his road, and will doubtless do the same tiling here very soon. Ladies, call at' Mrs. Kineliart's millinery store and find out the latest fashions. Her goods arc ot the very latest styles. Her prices are reasonable. The fire company have petitioned the council for an appropriation to assist in getting a fire engine. The council will no doubt assist in the matter. East Portland is reaping tho fruit of the new census, which gave her over ten thousand people and entitled her to the free delivery of postal matter. Sanil French, a prominent and wealthy stock raiser ot Grant county, was killed few days ago.

J It. Ckites The assessment roll will show in round numbers the net taxable property in this county to bo 100,000 against $2,800,000 last yea.', a gain of over one-half million. Union county seems to be keeping up with the procession. The debate in Summervillo between Sam'l P. Putnam the Freethonght advocate and Elder J. M. Jones of the Christian church, was concluded last Monday. The debate continued six days and attracted largo and interested audiences. Reports of disastrous accidents on the railroad como almost daily and many peo pie are afraid to rjsk their lives by traveling on thq cars. Tho law should compel all railroad companies to keep their road in a reasonably safe condition. There is a scarcity of cars on tho lines of railroads in this section and shipments arc delayed on that account. The Union Paci fic people havo three hundred extra cars coming from Omaha which will only partly satisfy the demand. The East Oregonian says: Tho La Grande Gazette frequently publishes as an item of news how many checks the La Grande National bank cashed in one day. It seems to be quite a surprising thing to have a check cashed in La Grande.'' A practical joker scut a bogus telegram, alleged to be from G. W. nunt, saying for the people of Washington to make prepa ration for his coming, last week. Some of the dear peoplo traveled fifty miles to meet him; but that is no reason you should neg lect your Cove drug store account another day. The men who are making the assessments in the counties of Eastern Oregon aro show ing by their figures how great was the dam age dono east of the mountains by the heavy atorms and snows of last winter. In Lako county, for instance, the valuation of the horses, cattle, sheep, and swine this year is a halt Jess-$i00,40l than last year. Commissioner Eddy and party have fin ished appraising tho heavy timber land ly ing between Mcachera and McKay creek, on tho Umatilla reservation, and are now at work on tho headwators of McKay and Birch creeks. Mr. Eddy thinks they will be aljis to finish the timber land before the cold father ensues, when the rest of their labors will be easy. Dr. Valerius X-Co., of Walcrtowm, Wis., who are the largest exporters and import ers In America, and handloat the very least 1000 horses a year, have placed a new ad Yertisement In this Issue. They handle Clyde, Shire, Norman, Percheron, Coach and trotting stallions.

The entertainment given by the Scott family at the Methodist church hist Satur day night was a financial success if nothing more. Tho singing was fair. A comical spcecli by Mr. Scott elicited considerable merriment and applause. The feature of the evening, however, was the voting for tho most popular young lady and gentleman in the audience. On the first ballot Miss Sum mers received 20 votes, Miss Davis 12. G. F Hall 2, and a number of other young ladles a lesser amount. After tho fourth ballot all the contestants were dropped with the exception of the Misses Summers and Davis when the latter won the coveted honor by a vote of 230 to 221, It is needless to add that tho young ladies' respective best fellows were in attendance, and that to a Scout reporter who was present the question as to which of the young ladies was the most popular depended upon which of tho afore said young gentlemen was backed by tho largest sack. Votes cost 15 cents at first but dropped to 5 cents before the polls were closed. Smith Escapes Again. Smith, the young fellow under sentence of imprisonment for two years in tho peni tentiarv, made his escape from the county jail last Monday just after dark, by sawing off some of the bars of the window.
