A Griat Knilvray Schim-TU Whitta ou the Increase m the South era state. ; WasHISutos, March 27, ISW. ' Editor Orkoo.v Scout: j A political Ivoinbshell was exploded among the democrats this wtek by the i I btrtlointnt, from an authentic source, I that the farmers' alliance had about I succeeded in capturing another statu, ' ,i i.t ii. ,rni,,nlit.i.i t.., mi . . . .... ten mates sonaiors. i ne suite is ;uias - issippi, and it is said that the alliance j is almost certain to oloct a majority of j the legislature thi- year, which, owing . to' the peculiar constitution of that j state, will elect the sttccosso,,s to Sen.-i-I tore George and Walthall. Tlwindica j lions of alliance succor which con fronted Senator Walthall when he re cently returned home are haid to have beou the real cause of the unexpected announcement he then made that lie would not be a candidate for ro-clec-tion, an announcement that was re ceived with astonishment by his friends bote at the time, and of which lie had not given them the slightest intimation previously. The news has cheered up the work ers tit alliance headquarters, and en couraged them to keep up the tight they have already begun for the con- trol of the legislature lo be elected this J fall in Maryland, which will elect Sen I ator Gorman's successor. Verily the j alliance i becoming a power in the j bind, and the end is not yet. j Secretary Plaine says Senator Blair has accepted the Chinese mission, and that he will shortly leave for that coun try. This is ollicial and should dispose of all tho silly rumors about, objection on the part of China. Ex-Uepresentativo Carter, of Mon tana, who was secretary of tho republi can congressional committee during tho Waterloo campaign of last fall, and who failed to get himself returned to the house, has been appointed commis sioner of the general land ofiiee to suc ceed .lodge Groll" who recently resigned because of a diflercnce of opinion with his immediate superior in oflice, Secre tary Noblu. The appointment is gen erally credited to Russell Harrison who is a warm friend of Mr, Carter's. To the few peoplo who doubted the existence tit an active ldbby in thiB city, maintained by tho Western Un ion Telegraph Company, the acknowl edgement of the ex-doork'eeper of the house of rupreaontalives, Samuel Don oldson, who is a witness in tho murder trial ot Charles E. Kincaid, the news paper correspondent who killed ex Representative Tiiulbee in a corridor of tho cupitol last year, that ho was a member. of that lobby, ought to bo con vincing. Mr. Donaldson did not tell this voluntarily; it was told in unswor to questions of counsel that the jtidgo compelled him to answor. Secretary lilaine, after having been confined to the house for a week with an attack of gout, has resumed the ne gotiations with tho British minister for tho settlement of tho details of the pro posed Ilehring sea arbitration, llo has heard nothing further ftom the Italian minister since the publication of Gov. Nicholls' reply to his tolegram concerning the killing of tho members of the "Mafia" at Now Orloans. Postmator General Wanuiunakor has devoted tho greater portion of this week to investigating for the purpose of determining tho best way of spend ing tho money available for tho first year under tho act providing for tho payniont of a subsidy to ocean sloam- ships for carrying tho mail. Ho has about determined to expend tho on- tiro sum in improving tho mail sorvico betweon the United States and South Amoriean ports, bolioving that country to promito tho most direct results, ow in to the reciprocity treaty already made with Brazil and tho expectation of tho making of othors. Tho Intercontinental Railway Com- misjion has about perfected arrango- menU to put three surveying parties in tho field, one for oaohol the proposed routes of tho groatost railroad of modern times, which, if it is over built, is to 1 connect this countrv with Central ntl South America. The idea of sen ng out three surveying parties i.s to select the best and most feasible route. Ex Senator Davis, of West Virginia, who is a member of the. commission, enter tained his colleagues at a banquet tins week. Secretary Foster has been in charge at the treasury department all this ' week. His most important act wn to issue orders makin the recent action of his assistant in his refusing to ex change cold bars for coin, for shipment abroad, unless the parties desiring the . exchange paid the cost of melting the coin into bars, the regular rule of the department. t? i I)..!!1. .1.1 . . f I oeiuuoi i enri at luuui'u u iiit'CUlli; oi the Nationalist Club Wednesday night, j u,ok lm,t in thediKMission. favoring H tiationiilization of all railroads. .Vn.ilKlli liltll.itin ill.l tu.nnil ul,,.,u , " v j..-.

The observer of the Oregon Weather Bureau, of Portland, Oregon, has is- j sued the bulletin for the week ending Saturday, April, 4, 1S(.)1. This bulletin ' is made up from reports received fiom 17.'! correspondents. The various condi tions and prospects as reported are giv en. Statements made are from written reports ol reliable men in every section of the state. IVKATIIUIt. Cool temperature, frosty nights, show ers, fresh winds and two cloudless days have been the weuthor characteristics for tho week. While tho temperature has been below the normal for this sea son of tho year, yet theio has been a gradual ri.-e, but slow, in the heat each day. The frosts were general and fre quent, but owing to the retarded state of fruit, buds and vegetation there was no damage done. The showers helped to keep the soil wot, thus delaying the spring seeding. The dampness and cool winds havo not beon favorable to the young lambs and some loss thero f i oin has been reported. Light hail storms, doing no damage, occurred in many sections on the 2(!th and 27th Ulto. Snow foil in Lake county to a depth of two inches on tho 2(!th. CHOI'S. While tho weather conditions aro not favorable to a rapid advancement of vegetation, yot it is rather beneficial as it allows the roots to gather strength and givos a slow but healthy growth. Kali wheat is loporled to bo better stooled and rooted than for a number of years. Spring seeding in Southern Oregon is well along. Jn tho Willamette val ley it is greatly delayed, except on the higher land. In Eastorn Oregon in some sections it is half dono; in others just commencing. Tho acreage of spring sown grain will bo larger than last year. Tho ooolwweuthor continues to check advancement of fruit, hence is benefic ial to it, as it is less liable to be injured by late frosts. Fruit is farther ad vanced in Jackson, Josopbinoand Ben ton counties than in other sections of tho stato. Tho snow is gradually dis appearing from the foothills and in tho Coast range it is nearly all gone Warmer weather seems approaching. The grass is growing and stock aro got- tinu along very well. iiKAini. Tho general health conditions aro reported to bo good. Colds aro less frequent and no unusual sickness pro vails. B. S.

Koenig, who is following his business as draughtsman and con tractor in La Grande, will move his family to that town in the near future. Mr. Aaron Thomas, formerly a resi dent, of Cove and well known as a crack rille shot, is here from .Southern Oregon where he has made his homo since his departure. Mr. .1. B. Eaton and family moved to La Grande this wee!;, and will prob niily make tnat their nome tor some time to coino. Mr. Eaton is employed in tho U. S. land oflice. Mr. E. P. MeDaniel, of McDaniel & Son, has returned from Portland, bring ing an immense stock of new goods. Ho says that he will either have to en largo liis store building or pile up goods in this street. The Covo postmaster was authorized Monday to commence tho issue of pos tal notes and money orders. This will fill a long felt want and give us a chance to send away our spare change safely and cheaply. Mr. Alex. Cochran has accepted a position in the agricultural machinery department of tho M. it M. Co., of Is land City. Alox. is a handy man with machinery and no doubt will prove a valuable man to his employes. The Covo city council is contempla ting tho enacting of tariir laws, pro hibiting further emigration to La Grande fiom these parts. Such a course seems necessary in order to prevent the depopulation of "our town." Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hag- gerty, April 1st, a daughter.

Miss Nollio Shaw is visiting frionds in Union. Miss Gracio Wright is visiting rela tives in Covo. Weather very fino at present nnd very little snow to bo seen. Tho school tcachor for tho Park dis trict camo over tho lino Friday. Tho outlook for a good crop of fruit is very flattering. Buds havo begun to swell. John Georgo passed through Medi cal Springs Wednesday on routo for Del Mar, Idaho. Tom Smith, of Muplo Grove, .Kan sas, made tho Springs a visit Monday in company with Dr. Deering. Walter South, who has been at the Spiings bathing for Mime time, took his departure for his homo in Park last week. Mr. W. 1). Emele, of Lower Powder, has moved to the old Wilson ranch on Big creek anil will put in a mammoth crop. The creek was very much deKipula ted Sunday, many going fisning at the dam on Powder river and others going to Union. Farmers are all buoy with plowing and sowing, and no idle men are lo bo seen. Considerable new ground is be ing broke. Mr. Stove Pickering is slopping at the Springs, bathing for rheumatism which he contracted in tho initios at Del Mar, Idaho. Hon. Dunham Wright is digging about three-fourths of a mile of now ir rigation ditch on his farm, and intends to break considerable now ground this year. Mr. N. 1). Boloy, the new manager of tho Idaho Stage Company, passed over the line Tuesday. He assumed charge of the line ibo first of this ! month. Every stage is loaded to its fullest capacity with passengers and Height. This is Ibo favorite route ftir peoplo going into Union county's mining camps or coming out. Last. Sunday morning Mrs. Briggs sustained the loss of her entire summer supply of stove wood by fire, and it was with (hlliculty that tho house was saved, the fire having already caught and partially burned the porch. Last week as Linn Fischer was mak ing his run from Sanger to Medical Springs, the front spindle of the hack broko and ho was compelled to make the remainder of tho trip on the back of a horse. It always seems that all the breaks occur when they have no load. I see by the Union papers that con siderable feeling is manifest over tho wal or works clause in the city charter. If the citizens of Union aro, not wary they will all bo buying water boforo another year for tho advance guards of a strong Missouri delegation passed through Medical Springs the other day and expressed it as their opinion that they would take up Catherino creek and build reservoirs and sell wat er to the citizens of Union by tho gal lon. Tiiin Space. The Paris Medal. Slate School Superintendent McEl roy has received the medal of hor.or from Paris, Franco, awarded for the ex hibit of the stato department of educa tion forwarded by him to the "Exposion Univorsollo," or world's fair, held at Paris in 1889. The exhibit consisted of a complete series of the reports, from the establishment of the department, in 1872 to 1879. It also included cop ies of the following record books now in all of the public schools of this stato, prepared by Superintendent McElroy and sent to county superintendents for general distribution : teachers' register and record book, county superintend ents' handbook of records, teachers' certificate books, county superintend ents' rccoipt books, clerks' blank re ports, teachers' blank roports, superin tendents' blauk reports, census roports. Tho medal is of bronze and is about two inches in diameter. On its faco the Goddess of Peace is represented in tho act of placing a crown on tho head of Labor, who is in a half-kneeling pos turo at her side. Below those figuros in perspective appears tho building of tho exposition and tho Eiffel tower, omblazoncd by tho sun rising on tho earth's disc in the distance, whilo bo tween tho radiating rays aro figures giving tho dato of tho fair 1889. Tho representation on tho roverso side of tho medal is that of a most beautiful and charming young woman with trumpet in hand heralding in behalf of ltopubltquo Francaiso' the information that Oregon has been awarded honor alio distinction for tho completeness of her exhibit. Tho nnounccmout is made, in theso words, delicately inscribed be neath tho figure, in raised lottors : "Eta d'Oregon Department do Pinslruction rubliquo a Salom." Ab rt work ot art this medal ranks high, reflecting great credit upon tho Btates as woll as tho en- tornriso of tho donartmont oi education in sending to tho world's fair an oxhib it which has recioved such flattering mention.
