A WOOIjKN MILL.
Tlic benefit to bo derived by having
n woolen fuclory in a town or commu
nity is becoming tbo principal topic
throughout Eastern Oregon just now,
anil nearly every town is prei-enling
its advantages and doing all in their
power to secure such an enterprise.
Union is not behind in this matter,
and has nothing to fear in the way of
natural advantages. We have not
only the best location, water power
and pure water, such as is necessary
in the manufacture of tho best woolen
goods, but we have men with money
who can tee tho advantages to bo de
rived in having an enterprise of this
kind in our town and are ready and
willing to take stock in a woolen mill,
or any other manufacturing industry
that will tend to build up our town.
Such men. are a benefit to any commu
nity. They have labored long and
hord lo secure a woolen mill here, and
we aro pleased to say their untiring
cflbrts have not boon without avail.
Let tho good work go on. As an ex
ample of tho benefits to bo derived
from a woolen mill, wo take tho follow
ing from tho Ochoco Roviow:
"Tho wool clip of Eastern Oregon
this year will bo about 9,000,000 pounds.
In all of this vast wool growing region
that produces such a largo amount of
this staple article thoro is not a woolen
mill or a scouring establishment.
Nearly all this wool is shipped across
tho continent to be manufactured into
cloth and reshipped to tho I'aciiio coast
to bo bought and worn by those who
produced it. The majority of this
wool shrinks on an averago of GO per
cent by washing, so this year tho wool
growers of Eastern Oregon will pay
freight across tho continent on -1 ,300,000
pounds of dirt that should bo removed
from tho wool before it is shipped.
Tho freight on tho dirt alono would al
most pay for a scouring establishment
with a capacity guflioionl to scour all
tho wool raised in tho Inland Empire.
Hut better than establishments for
scouring and grading tho wool would
p. ..bo tho building of mills to niiinufuc
turo it into cloth, or at least onough of
it to supply the woolen goods that aro
consumed on this coast. The saving
of freight on tho wool to (ho factories
in tho cast and on tho manufactured
goods from tho factories back to tho
producer and consumer would bo no
small item; but it is insiguilleant whoa
compared with tho amount of money
that would bo put in circulation by tho
manufacture of wool cloth right hero
at homo. As an illustration of tho
bouolit a woolen mill is to u, communi
ty and tho amount of money it puts
in circulation, wo may profitably con
sider tho following report published by
tho scerolary of tho Albany "Woolen
51 ills Company last week, at tho close
of the first year tho mills havo boon in
operation. Wages paid, $20,107.S1 ;
wool purchased, $-l(.),ll!M2; other ex
penditures, $18,117.73; total expendi
tures, 9:1,(5:19.90. Supposo Oregon had
in it an additional industry that con
sumed $50,000 worth of its products
and expended $20,000 annually for
wages, what would bo tho result?
Would it not mako times bettor and
money moro plentiful? Suppose wo
had such an establishment in our own
county, what oil'ect would it havo on
tho business of tho county? In tho
first place it would allbrd a homo mar
kot for a portion of ono of tho leading
products of tho county ; it would fur
nish employment, at good wages, for
from thirty to forty laborers, who must
bo fed, and this would create an extra
market for farm produce ; height would
bo saved on whatever amount of wool
tho mills consume; the money ox
ponded for woolen goods would not go
abroad, but would bo spent at homo ;
Tho wages earned by tho employes
would nearly all bo. spent horo. Taken
altogether tho actual benefit to tho
county from tho establishment of such
an outorpriso would bo nearly double
tho amount tho mills would oxpond
for mnlonal, labor, etc."

OUK MINKS.
Mr. W. L. Adams, of Portland, who
passed through hero last week to visit
our mines, returned by way of Baker
and furnishes tho Blade tho following
concerning tho mines of Union county:
Tho Sparta mines, he says, aro most
ly corraled by the Del Monto Mining
Co., and there arc a number of good
mines there. Tho ore looks very favor
able and tho placer mines aro working
well this season.
In Sanger the mill is running night
and day with good results. The mine
is paying well and tho prospects for the
future aro good.
At the Dolly Varden mine they arc
assorting tho oro for shipment, and all
that which will pay to ship is sent to
Portland for reduction.
At Paddy's Paradise an sinistra is run
ning night and day on ore that is pay
ing well and the company arc erecting
another arastra which will bo com
pleted shortly. A tunnel has been
commenced which will tap the oro
vein and make it more convenient to
take tho rock out. During his stay in
the Paradise Mr Adams was entertained
by Major Shenck, and ho says ho en
joyed his visit to that camp very much.
Ju Timber canyon the mines are
not developed very much, as they be
long to prospectors who have not been
able to do much work on them. There
is no machinery to work tho ores in
that vicinity but the oro is free-milling
and assays very well, and they will no
doubt prove valuable property in the
near future.
At a meeting of tho republican ed
itors of the seventh congressional
district, held at Hutchinson, Kansas,
on tho 27th tilt., a letter from ex-Sena
tor Ingalls was read, and among other
things tho letter said : "The republi
can party's future must readjust itself
lo the changed condition of American
lifo or it will perish. Harrison will bo
renominated and Cleveland will bo his
opponent. If wo havo courage and
confidence it will bo an Austorhtz ; if
wo dicker with popular error, com
promise with unprincipled leaders and
sneer at honest diHeroneea of judgment
and opinion, it will bo a Waterloo."
Just now trusts and monopolies
seem to bo in the swim in this coun
try. They control tho very vitals of
the government by dictating national
legislation and making corners on the
necessaries of lifo. A lepublic run by
tho tools of trusts and monopolies is
no bolter than an empire; and all this
corruption, this moral treason against
tho country, is the result of republican
jobbery and misrule.
"Why are times so dull?" is asked
in various parts of tho Northwest.
The Oregon and Washington newspa
pers discuss the question intelligently,
and the almost unanimous vordict of
tho press is that thoro aro not enough
manufacturing establishments; that
produetivo industries aro moro of a
present need than anything else. As
torian. lli'.NUY Wattouson says: Lot us
hope that tho prophets who aro pre
dicting that tho end of tho world is
hear may bo wrong. How would tho
United States look on the morning of
tho Day of Judgment with a republi
can administration and an empty
treasury?
Cron-Woatlier, Bulletin No. 12.
Tho observer of the Oregon Weather
Hureau, of Portland, Oregon, has is
sued tho bulletin for tho week ending
Saturday, May IK), 1S91, the samo be
ing based upon reports received from
1(12 correspondents, which is as follows:
WUKTI.ItN OllKUON.
Weather. Cooler, partly cloudy and
cloudy weather has prevailed during
tho week, especially tho latter part.
General showers havo fallen, especially
in southern part, where tho rainfall
amounts to from sixty-two hundroths
of an inch to ovor ono inch. In tho
Willamette valloy generally less than
ono quarter of an inch of rain fell.
Thunder storms accompanied by rain
and hail occurred on tho 2fth, Tho
temperature for tho week averaged iivo
degrees a day cooler than lust week.
Crops. The previous week having
been unusually warm and dry tho
changed weather conditions which pre
vailed this week havo provon of groat
value to crops of all kinds. Tho soil is
again in oxcollout condition and the
growth of vegetation has boon very
marked. Warmer woathor is needed
to develop heading of wheat, oats Ac,
but tho Btalk is developing woll.
Spring sown wheat has made oxcollout
program. CSouuml reports indicate the
nuviti flattoring proapoota for tho wheat
crop throughout this soqtlou. Quito a
number of oorrudpondunU report fruit
i falling from tho trees. Frosts which
at tho timo were not supposed to havo
injured evidently did considerable
damage Prunes, cherries and peach
es were injured. Cherries especially
will not prove to bo tho crop hoped for.
Yamhill, Clackamas, Linn, Benton,
Lane and Douglass counties report
these fruit conditions. Curl leaf and
yellows observed at Dayton. Clover is
blooming. Gardens aro doing finely.
Potatoes and peas aro ripo in Curry
county. Strawberries arc ripening
slowly, owing to cool weather.
KASTEHN OKEOON.
Weather. Cooler, partly cloudy
weather with general rains prevailed
since Tuesday; Sunday and Monday
were very warm with eaBt winds. Tho
rains wore heavier in Union county
than in other sections. On 25th and
2Gth thunder storms were quito gener
al. On the 2Gth a south wind of un
usual severity was experienced in parts
of Gilliam county, especially at Ar
lington, which did some damage.
Tho rainfall amounted to from .10 to
.45 of an inch. South of tho Blue
mountains, especially in Crook and
Grant counties, the weather is yet cool
and season backward.
Crops. The rain was of inestimable
benefit and valuo to tho wheat crop.
Tho east winds did some damage in
parts of Umatilla, Morrow and Wasco
counties. The effect of the rain is
supposed to offset tho damage. The
rains havo revived the excellent wheat
prospects throughout this section.
Fruit 'is well Jset and thriving well.
Strawberries aro becoming plentiful.
General prospects for crops .of all kinds
arc at the present time most flattering.

NORTH POWDER NUGGETS.
Busines is prospering somewhat.
We havo been blessed with occasion
al showers during tho week.
Mr. llothchild, whilo in Portland,
laid in a largo supply of goods for his
storo.
It makes us happy to notico tho
smiles that play on tho farmer's face
s ho comes in out of the shower aiid
says "Let her rain."
Mr. Rothchild, who is going to bo
the lucky damsel to whom you will
present that extra beautiful hat you
purchased while in Portland?
"Homo," what has become of you,
who were Grando Hondo's greatest
writer on infidelity and skepticism?
Aro you going to let your name as
such a writer pass into utter oblivion
so soon?
Mr. Lomax, who is running tho new
grocery store, is doing a very good
business. He is just the right man in
the rigot place, and farmers will ad
vance their own interests by patroniz
ing him.
Whilo the health of tho peoplo in
general is very good in this section,
thoro aro a few who aro unablo to
work, "La Grippo" having settled in
their feet. We find it to be a very
painful diseaso.
There is again a scarcity of water in
Wolf creek for irrigating purposes. It
is whispored around that oro long tho
farmers will havo to pay for all their
water. When such a timo comes tho
only difference it will mako with tho
Wolfereekor is, ho has to fight for tho
water now ; ho will havo to pay for it
then. Which will bo tho best? Tho
old saying, "Fighting is hard on tho
constitution and old clothes," has been
proven to bo a fact on Wolf crcok.
