TitK resignation of Senator Edmunds was unexpected in Vermont, and was a surprise tohiseoniititiiijiits. The ap pointment of his successor devolves upon Governor Pane, as the legislature is not in notion. The candidates are Secretary of War Proctor, Congressman Powers and ox-Governor Smith. J he attention ol our merclianlH is called to the eiiiirinunienlion from tho Park, in which our correspondent com plains that flic people in that section are unable to procure supplies in this city. Thk Scout is of the opinion tin's is not so, except, perhaps, in the line of mining tools, etc. Our merchant should look after the matter and hoc that tho trade of that country is not diverted from Union, where it properly belongs. Thk two ordinances published in the Republican last, week cost the taxpay ers of this city about $.'5.81. The same thing had it beon publiohed in Tin: Scout, under its bid would have cost only about $1.72, a clear saving of $2,01). This is only a small amount to bo sure, but in the course of a year at thnt rate it would amount to $108,08, which is quite an item to tho taxpay ers of a small city like this. This is a sample of the legislation of tho council that was olnctod to servo tho best in terests of our people. What do you think of it,? Piumidknt H.utitiHo.v and party star ted on their western trip Tuesday, via the south. They will arrive in San Francisco on the 28lh; at Portland on May -ith, and will pasn hero on tho 7th on their return east. Brief stops will bo made at The Dulles, Pendleton and La Grande, but it is not likely the peo ple of Union will bo permitted to gaze upon the party unless tliey go to some of tho places where they will stop, however, we presume a number will bo at the depot to ahow their appreciation of tho grout man's visit to tho slato, and may porhups got a glimpse of our chiof executive. Thk eight million dollars that is to bo )aid the Louisiana planters and tho half million dollars that is to be paid the Vermont sap patriots will bo abso lute gifts. The money will simply bo taken from other people in the form of taxes upon food, clothing and other necessaries of life, and turned over to theco fortunate gentlemen. Why should this bu done? Why should tho gov ernment pay ouo class of men for pro ducing sugar from cane and maple sap out of the taxes wrung from tho men who rnit-owhont and corn and tobacco? Is sugar-growing more commondablo than wheat-growing? Is sugar a more important article of food than bread or lnenl? Tin: woolen mill man was here last week examining our water power and surroundings, etc., arrd reports. this to bo the best location ho has seen on the Puoitie coast for the establishment of a woolen mill. Tho water, ho says, is of tho very best and of suilloient quantity for all purposes. It now only remains to bo scon whothor or not somo of our citizens who claim to have tho welfare of tho city at heart will take stock and aid in securing tho prize. Sir. Eaton, ono of our most public spirited citizens, Iras higuiiled his willingness to sub scribe liberally, and if a few rnoro will help to aid the matter along a little, there will bo uo trouble in securing tho mill. With such an enterprise in our city, Union's population would bo doubled inside of two years, other in dustries would follow, and many now business houses would come iir, but there tiro a fow who are afraid of com petition in their business and do not want to seo tho city grow and improve, except to their own personal benefits, and siioh an enterprise will receive uo aid from them. It is to ho hoped, how ever, there are enough men to bu found in our midst who huvo tho future wel fare of the city at huart to tako the matter in hand and too that it is pushed to completion, duspito what may bo said or done by thoo who nro now op posing and endeavoring to kill tho much needed enterprise, That a good sytem of water works would be of vast importance and a 1 tiood thinir for tho city, Thk Scopt pcnuiturn 01 a largo sum 01 money ai tho head of Catherine creek in build- ing a reservoir, and straightening and clearing of that water course in order to get it, is a useless and unwise move on the part of tho council. A reservoir on top of tho hill east of town, supplied by a frtnall stream not larger than one of the many Hint are now running along our streets and going to waste is itninlv sufficient to supply a rcser voir for many years to come. Such system could he put in without much cost to the city, and it would meet witli tho approval of all. Davis still remains silent on munic ipal matter, but Wilson in his leader last week tries to smooth matters up a little. This he cotrld riot do, however, without "letting the cat out of tho bag," as it were. He says: It is proposed that every enterprise, whether public or private, shall receive the assistance and encouragement of the city. There is no doubt iir the minds of a largo number of our citizens but this is true. They have shown too plairjly that they propose to encourage prviate enterprises (?). That is what is tho matter, and is tho reason Thk Scout is making such a vigorous kick against the proceedings of the council. ft is too much for private and not enough for public. Thkuk are many ways in which the council could work for tho benefit of tho town without going into the hap hazard f-chemo of building reservoirs at the head of Catherine creek, straight ening the stream, etc. A reasonable expenditure in water works would bo of benefit to the city in general and tho taxpayers would not object to paying for it. It would bo a great convenience in ouho of lire, and insuraneo would ho thereby lessened. Ourstreots, side and cross walks need to bo looked after. Tho roads leading to our city should receive attention, arrd many other things of a like nature that would bo of great benefit to our business men. It is an easy matter for a set of men to legislate and oxperrd money when they do rrot have to bear tho burden. If our city council was composed of a few of the taxpaying element of the city we imagine they would be a littlo more careful in the way irr which they man age the finances of tho city. While Tin: Scour does not favor tho entire discontinuance of our street lighting system, it is of tho opinion u large reduction of the cost and a better distribution of the lights should bo made. Six hundred dollars a year is more than tho city is able to pay with its present income, and from present indications tho income will soon bo greatly reduced. Heretofore the city received from tho saloons $lflH) an nually, but since tho council has seen fit to raise tho license and compel the saloon men to secure the signature of a majority of tho voters within tho city to a petition and have the same pub lished in a newspaper, beforo a license will bo granted, it will be the means of driving nearly, if not all of thorn from our city. This has been the main rev onuo from which our city government has been kept up. Shut it oil" and what will bo the consequence? Tho amount received from taxes on a fr-mill levy has only beon about $700. Thoro is scarcely any rovonuo from other sources, and in order to -carry on our city government it only remains for the tax levy to bodoubled and this will not pay the running oxponses of tho city, to say nothing-of tho interest on $20,000 bonded indebtedness.

Editor Oiikoo.v Scout: I bog a share of your valuable space to report the proceedings of the Arbor day exercises that occurred on the 10th inst, at the Imbler school, C. E. Cochran teacher, with the combined aid of the Fairviow school, W. It. Haw lcy teacher. The teachers, Messrs. Hawley and Cochran are classmates of the class of 1890, Oregon State Normal school at Monmouth, and know just how to make a success of nnvthinc they un dertake. Wc are very fortunate in se curing the aid of such competent teachers. According to previous arrangements the Faieview school adjotrrrred at 11 :30 last Friday, irr response to an invita tion to the Imbler school to join them in the exercises, and started for Imbler, some in a wagon, generously donated by Mr. Sarn'l Cochran, and others on horseback. At about 1 iIlO they were all there and besides, the house was crowded with friends and patrons, all earnestly awaiting the appointed hour, 2:00 p. m for tho exercises to begin. Promptly at the appointed time the audience was greeted with a song, aird then followed the programme consist ing of sorrgs, recitations, quotations, historical and biographical sketches, essavs and adrcsses. Carl Roc, of Fairviow, was historian, ind acquitted himself in a creditable manner. Miss Florence Woodell, of Imbler, was orator and stirpsised the audience by her oratory. A brief essay was read by Prof. I Itw ley on the subject, "Our School Houses and our Homes; how to beautify them," which reflected credit upon the writer and which wo would like to give in full but space forbids. After the class tree song, which was arr appropriate selection and well ten dercd, the pupils and friends all marched to the school grounds and proceeded to plant the trees and shrubs. The first tree, a large Colum bia poplar, was placed in position by the director and the pupils marched past, each one pausing long enough to place a shovel full of dirt around the tree. Tho pupils weru then dismissed for a time, during which the more will ing hands planted the remaining trees, while the average pupil enjoyed a rous ing game of -"blackmail." After the planting was finished the schools again assembled ami proceeded to organize an association to be known as the Shado Tree Planting Association. Prof. Cochran had tho chair and after appropriate remarks, balloting was commenced resulting in, president, 13. Mitchell; secretary, Georgo Cochran; treasurer, Carl Roc. Tho president thou appointed two committees, one from each school, known as protective committees consisting of tho following members: Imbler Geo. Elmer, Roe Games, Lettic Hull, Jennie Woodel and Stella Steward. Fairviow Ada Roe, llattio Oliver, John Ruckman, Carl Roe and Myrtle Cochran. The trees planted were then named, beginning at the railroad. 1st. tree, Imbler, in honor of tho Imbler school; 2nd, Fairviow, in honor of tho Fair viow school ; .'Id, Cochran, for tho teacher of the Imbler school; '1th, Lone Star, in honor of tho Lono Star school, which school was represented in the person of Miss Brooks the teacher; fith, Hawley, for the toucher of tho Fairviow school, (ith, Stanley, in honor of an aged patron of tho dis trict. After a fow appropriate remarks by patrons they all journeyed homo feeling that tho day had been ono of the most remarkable irr tho history of tho district. May these trees bo pro tected arrd cared for and in future years lot the practice started by these two estimable teachers bo continued. Yours, Riioina. STAKKEY STRIKES. SiTAltKUY, Alhil 10, 1S91.

Dr. Fox therefore doci not prescribo "blood puriflcrt" so called, but i "dyspepsia cure" to bo taken, to use his owl words "till the dyspepsial tymptoms have disap peared."
