THURSDAY, APRIL 18J1.
KIUTOIUAr. NOTK.S.
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.

AIIBOR DAY ON SANDRIDOE.
Celebrated at Imbler by tho Falrview and
Imbler Schools.
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.
