' Editok Oiikoo.v Scout: A very prominent member of the farmorb' alliance, who does , not wish I ! , by ii.inio at this time, si 1 ul.,.: " I'licii' .-coins to be a gen- !'fil :tn-i.i,rfii.-'isioii as to the con tiiCMuii ui the l.irmers' alliance, par- ;tii'til(tly us Suiuliern members, with the dii I'd j.trty moveiuent, a niove- metil which is as yot entirely depend ent uiMiii coutingeneius. it ha- been stated and restated tit u tlu-Southern members uf our organization could be relied upon to support the nominee of the .h-inocratic partv in the presidon- 1 ti.d "loi'tiou. Now I want to say that if Mr. Cleveland or any other man who , repr 'SiMihi what we consider the Wall Mr. ideis of finance is nominated by tlio df nocrats that he cannot carry ; four ot tne Southern States to save his ; life. One of t lie principal demands of the alliance is free silver, and unless the democratic party nominates a man friendly to that idea you will sue the electoral votes of eignt or ten of the Southern States cast for the nominee of a third party. The success of this whole third party business is depend ent upon the action of the old parties; should one or both of them show a reasonable disposition to bo fair to wards the demands of the alliance, the alliance as a body will not enter the third party moveine it, but if Harrison and Cleveland arc t be the nominees of the old parties will uo into the fight, i I honestly believe that we can win against thoi two men." Representative Jerry Simpson pro poses making a five trade canvas of Ohio against Mclvini-'y.- Mr. Simpson is doing tiiis on his individual respon sibility, the alliance never having gone so far as to endorse free trade. Not for yeais has so many impor tant cases be m d cided at a single term of the United States supreme court as at the one which closed early this wcok. Tlio entire number of cases disposed of was G17, and among them were decisions allinning the right of States to tax the cars of the Pullman Palace Car Company and tlio lines of the Western Union Telegraph Compa ny (It is gratifying to know that we have ono legal tribunal which does not fear tlio wrath of wealthy monopolistic corporations) ; tho legali ty of tho sentences of tho murderers in New York who arc to bo electro cuted, and the constitutionality of the Original-package act, which it will be remembered was passed by tho last congress. An address issued by tho legislative committee of tho National Grange of tho Patrons of Husbandry this week has excited much interest in political circles. 11 says in part: "The legis lation sought must wait until the farmers loam to send lighting and faithful friends to represent their in terests in congress. Frionds without courage and push are only in the way whore reforms arc sought. The farmors may bo slow (too slow) in starting into a campaign in their own defense, but once the battle com mences thoy will never give up tho strugglo until tho right prevails. Whou congress again assomblos the farmers will pitch their tents alongsido tho capitol and renew tho contest. Tho noxt congress, wo feol assured, will havo moro men who have practi cal knowledge of tho needs of agricul turo, and we confidently hope that much wise and just legislation will result from their odbrts. It is not tho fault of your oommitteo nor your fault that wo havo not suuctiodod in all our ollbrls, and wo siucoroly trust that our succosord may be as ably Miipportttd. Wo dotfiro to say that vary much depoiuU upon having u man in the ipeakor'a ohair who id over and at all timet the friend of agrioub turo; h i i:.ui do uioro foi or against our canto tlia.i .my oi .cr i u men in OOU gi I'u larunT.' hoill, therefore, a.-, ui. ii i iii.j m.-noiin a iftvorti' bio man as speaker of the noxt 1i. .hm.'' It seems to have been settled tli.it Commissioner of Pensions Raum will have to go as soon as his successor can be found, and it is now thought ho has been found in the person of First Dep uty Commissioner Davidson, a New Yorker, who is understood to have heavy political backing. I lis a thank less position at best, and any man will do well to think twice before accept ing it. Our policy in Rehring Sea this year has at last been determined by the cabinet and Mr. Harrison, after sowriil prolonged sittings, and sailing, in structions have been telegraphed to the revenue cutters, Rush and Hear. It is believed that it is the same old pretend to do something, but in reality do nothing policy that amused the rest of the world last year. Nothing definite has yot boon heard from Lord Salisbury as to Mr. Maine's proposi tion for a closed season, but it would be too late to enforce it now anyway. J. II. C. FROM EAGLE VALLEY. EaCux V.u.i.i:y, June 2, 1801. Editor Scout: I will give you some of the news, as 1 have not seen anything from this section for some lime. I see some of the Spartaitos in tho valley. Mr. P. Rasche, of Baker City, has been in the valley on business. Miss Nellie Reck is sick with fever. Dr. O'Connor, of Pine valley, is attend ing her. Capt. Craig and Joseph Reck at tended the memorial services at Raker City last week. Mr. Ben Longley returned last night from Raker City where he has been on business. The widow Lloyd, of Pine valley, has been visiting her son-in-law, A. Parker, of this place. Mr. W. E. Barber's band of sheep averaged 10 lbs. to the head. Who can beat that? There aie some bands to shear yet. Mr. John Frazier has just got homo from the sheep shearing camp where he has been superintending the shear ing of his herds. E. and A. Moody have just returned from Baker City with a new cart. Look out, girls, for a ride, for the boys are both good, jolly fellows. Thero aro some tenderfeot in tho valley, Into of Missouri. They want land, but think it pretty high. They don't stop to think what they can raise on it. Lund is selling high, but W. W. Kirby has a small farm for sale at a low price. It is a line place, with good orchard, plenty of vegetables and small fruits, plenty of water and tim ber. For further information call on or address W. W. Ivirby, Now Bridge, Oregon. I will say, old Eagle is on top yet. We have tho best crops here that over . rew in Oiegon. Tho hay ciop is very heavy and grain is looking fine. Wo will commence cutting tho first crop of alfalfa in a few days. Thero will bo three good crops raised hero this sea son plenty for all and will bo sold cheap. The leading men of Huntington wore in tho valley n few days ago on tho road business. Thoy say thoy will build a good road from Huntington to Eagle valley. That may do very well, but Baker has been talking road a long time. I don't know yet what thoy will do. Thero is ono thing cor tain, tho farmors of Eaglo and Pino valloys aro going to havo a road to travel out in tho winter, and not through a snow bank. Givo us our rights in regard to public donations. Union county haH given some dona tions to this section, but wo will havo a road up Powdor river or Snake river. Givo us good roads. Thoro is ono thing, tho people of this sootiou are not altogether satisfied about tho way some of tho money has boon spunt on roads in Union county. All wo want is fair play, and that wo will havo, for Eaglo and Pino vnlloya unite, regard loan of politic in this mattor and look after tho boat man. Wo know that we havo tho ruling vote in Union oounty and will bo on liuiul at tlio noxt ol Mo tion day, and wo will work hard for Hit bojt man. K. COVE CULLINGS. An Kpitomc of (he Village Happenings. COLLAR FACTORY ESTABLISHED. Tho FruU Crop- Consolidation of Uppsr and Lowar Oov KiucUall aamc 9umla.y. CovH, Oregon, dune 10, ISM. Some of the boys have a fondness for Union of late. The Oove is tho placo for excursion ists. Quite number were hero lust Sunday. Daniel Conner, n brother of Mrs. Jacob llildebrand, arrived here from Iowa last Thursday. The present condition of crops in this place is very good, yet considera ble of the fruit is falling from the trees. J. M. Selder is preparing to build an innuenso barn. We dare not give tbe dimensions for fear of being disputed. Quito a few herds of cattle have been driven to the Minam range this week. The herders roport considerable snow in that region yet. The alliance is about to consolidate tho Upwr and Lower Cove into one muss. If it succeeds, we will bo about the -1 1st city in Oregon. How is that, Mr. Portland? Mr. R. T. Craving, brother of J. M., ono of the old pioneern, arrived n few days ago from Burnet, Mo. They havo not seen each other for thirty-six years. J. E. Hough has contracted for most of tho strawberries in tho Cove, and there will be plenty by the first of noxt week. Ho expects to dispose of them in La Grande. Tho now hoio collar factory will be in running order next week. Tho new machinery is on the way and tho col lar maker, Mr. Either, of Portland, lias made arrangements to run it to the very best advantage and fullest capaci ty. Mr. and Mrs. E. P. McDaniol and (laughter, Mr. A. J. Foster, Miss Dora Poster, .Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Smith and the Misses Pearl and Edna Payne started to Portland Monday morning. They expect to be gone about two weeks. Wo aro requested to extend an invi tation to all baseball nines in the valley to play at any time, especially the High valley nine for noxt Sunday. The game last Sunday resulted in (!! to .T7 homo runs in favor of tho Sorubn, tho Mufllers being whipped. Tho summer school is progressing nicely and now is tho lime to arrange for the fall and winter term. Koine improvements woro talked oil' last spring, that is enlarging our buildings and connecting the two nearest dis tricts. All know the advantage and necessity of the best school facilities ; it is not wise to delay in improving them. PARK PICKINdS. Park, Juno 8, 1801. School will bo out in three weeks. Wm. Vanordor Iuib a bran now cart. Oh girls, he fools for your wollfarol John and Don woro aftor some of tho finny tribe yesterday, and lout thoir hooks. The members of tho allianuo of the Park wont down to tho Big crook lodge Saturday. Crops in Park look very woll, con sidering tho weather. Ryo is rather short, but othor grain looks favorable. Poppy, of Powdor river, got hurt by a horse yentorday at Sunday school at Big creek. I did not loam tho partic ulars. Tho word has got out that tho Park is going to have a picnic on tho Fourth, but it is not so understood in tho Park. Tho saw mill U on tho run. Yet you might think it u coward in run ning, but uo mo ami see how fast Moso hag to ride to got tho lumber out to the piles. A large band ef iheep pawed through tho Purkyettarduy, with more to come (In PU-ree was foreman. They are on Hie way to British Golmn Ida. Go right along, (ins. (lot tliuM ovor Die line- Mr. W. T. Martin, our road super visor, has been having some nico work done on the roads. Bill is a good ono on the roads. Health is generally good, but Grand ma Van i poorly; but old age has something u do with her health, and so has patent medicines. There is a bear hunter who comes to the Park once in a while, who has it knack of catching bears and taming them right away, so that they are por f eily Mine and harmless. The weather has been rather cool for weeks, without much rain, but this morning il stalled in with snow and then settled down to rain, and at 10 o'clock it is mining nicely. Moiko had his funeral preached on the Illsf of .Mnv for some of his smart ness. So be hits gone the way of all thotearth, but thoy had to send oil' to got the one to preach his funeral. While Miss IConedy was out riding some tiino ago the horse jumped to one side to avoid being kicked, causing her to fall oil' and get her ear hurt; and now she wants to sell all of the horse tribe. Mr. Enoch South was out some time ago looking for horses and oamo across a young colt entirely alono and neatly starved to death. It was walk ing around a tree and could not be in duced to leave, so be look tho wagon and after hard work got t ic colt homo, and is now raising it by hand. Grandma Shaw, James Wade and Grandpa Wisdom started for Salem. Mrs. Shaw and Mr. Wade returned, but Mr. Wisdom went down to bo bur ied in the old family graveyard. Ho thought he was not long for this world and wanted to be buried among his frionds. Ho has passed his three scoro and ten years. George South, while driving tho mill team around to get his load of ltunbor, mot with quite an accident. Tho mules became frightened and started to run, which scared the horses and the seat fell oil' and throw Georgo oil'. Tho hind wheel of tho wagon ran ovor his thigh and it is thought frac tured the bono. That is what tho mule does. No thoroughly civilized man will own a niulo. So say 1. Rev. Rargor preached tho funeral sermon of Janios Wisdom's boys on tho .'! 1st of May. Tho text was: "Ho that boliovetb and is baptised shall bo saved; ho that boliovetb not shall bo damned." It hit some. When a man preaches that God never made a liar or a bad man, ho is oil' his oast). If God made man, as tbe .Methodist cate chism says, ho made him with all of his faults. Our preacher of tho .'Usl taid : "A man makes himself a bad man and a liar." Did tho natural born idiot mako himself so? Did tho negro make his hide black? Mr. Fowlor, you might as woll stop writing on phrenology, for you aro wrong ac cording to Rargor. Does tho child, ono or two years old, make itsolf lovo whiskey? Does u child make itsolf a natural born thief? Such is the case. Thoro is no doubt of such being dem onstrated to a certainty. He said that a man could believe anything ho want ed to. Ho said that Prof. Lang, of Germany, bolioved that tho sun was a great bank of ico. That settled it. A man could believe anything ho wanted to. Why was not Bargor a Catholic, or Baptist, or some othor denomina tion? Why simply because ho could not believe tho doctrine. Policy goes a good ways somotimos. Javnu MEDICAL SPRINGS. Mhoioai. Si'iunos, Juno 1, 1801. Lots of dry weather. Grain burn ing up. I understand that Dunham Wright is going to givo a grand ball tho Fourtli of July. Miss M. P. thinks she wont get any moro free rides on tho stago sinco L. F. How tho track. A baskot mooting was hold at tho Park school houso last Sunday. Quite a number wore present. Work has commenced on the road, beginning at Jim Bams' placo, inter secting with the Sangor road ubovo Mr. Parkor's placo. Tho school ma'ams from Antolopo visit Big crook frequently. Oomo again girls; yon aro lively, Wo liko to see you on our streets. John Wilson was soon traveling up and down tho road a few days ago, packing it hoard. Being naked what he was going to do with tho hoard, ho replied! "I am going to build uu ollloa." X, Y. 7
