upon n now volume. Kor huvoii yearn
it has lived and proHjiurud in tho beau
tiful little city in which it in published.
The present editor mid proprietor was
ono of the founders of Tim Scout and
with euch niiecceding year has been
gratified to know that tho patronage
wus grcator than the previoiiH, and
that today it onjoya a much larger list
of subscribe than it had at the close
of volume nix. This fact alone gives
us asNurmico that the dibits of the
management in the past, and at pres
sont, have been and aro being apprecia
ted by Ihopeoploof Union county. Tim
Scour in tho future will be kept up to
its usual standard of excellence, and
will always bo found up with or ahead
of tho demands of the town in which
it is published. What more could our
citizens ask of us? Tim Scout lias
stood by tho people of Union county,
and especially of Union, always advo
cating what it thought best for the
people in general. It has endeavored
to give the news of tho county to its
many readers, and with tho assistance
of our many correspondents, who have
so kindly aided us by their weekly
contributions from tho numerous sec
tions, wo think wo have succeeded.
A county newspaper without tho
aid of a good corps of correspondents
cannot give a correct rollection of the
county in -vlncli it is published. In
this particular Tin: Scout has been
fortunate and we hope our numerous
correspondents will continue to furnish
us with tho news of their respective
localities. It is to the interest of Un
people throughout the county that
their locality be reprc-ented. In what
bettor way could this bo done than by
a good correspondent tluough a widely
circulated paper? The people should
take an iuteresi. in the matter and aid
some ono in gathering the news and
sending it in for publication. Do not
think that by doing this you aro only
aiding us. Of course we are glad to
roeoivo tho news items from all sec
tions of the county, and they will al
ways find place in Tim Scout to the
exclusion of other matter, because they
aro of moro importanco to tho people
in general. Wo want a good corres
pondent in every section, to whom all
the necessary stationery will bo fur
nished; and whon you get out do not
bo afraid to let us know it and wo will
send you a new supply.
Wo would like to see every section
of tho county represented by a corres
pondent, and are confident that the
people of each tectiou would highly
appreeiato seeing the news of thoir
locality in print each week. If it woro
possible, we would bo only loo glad to
do this work ourself, but anyone with
common sense knows that it is impos
sible for any ono man to hear of all
tho happenings throughout the county,
and it either devolves upon some one
to Mind them in for publication or olto
they aio passed by unnoticed, as in
many oases they aro.
Of uourso sonio people are better
adapted for correspondents than oth
ers, but there is hardly anyone, who
can write a legible hand, but what is
capable of writing up the local hap
penings of their community in tome
manner. If they aro not in proper
shape, wo will tlx them up to tho host
of our ability. If you do not wish
your namo to appear under your con
tributions it will bo loft oil', or a iiom
ho plumo can bo supplied, but always
sign your right name to all correspon
dence, that wo may know who you aro.
This is nucossary, as no roliablo news
paper will publish an artiolo without
knowing tho author's name.
Again thanking our many oorro
IKmdouU who have so kindly agisted
us in making Tint Scout what it i
tho boat local jwipor in Knutorn Oregon
and hoping for a uontinunuoe of tho
libernl iNttroutigu wo have rucoived, we
enter ujxm a now year and nwiire you
that Tim Scout will never grow lea
or lose it iutertttt in the welfare mid 1
future proiporily of the community at '
large.
M'ICINLKY lltl(-i:s AT IIOMK.
Mr. McKinley, apparently, has not
much of an opinion of the intelligence
of the 2,000 gentlemen who yelled for
him at the Columbus convention, and
does not hejitato to tell them ?o.
"You have not heard one word about
MoICinloy prices since the election,"
he said to them, and they received this
astonishing statement with every ap
pearance of as?ont. If they really bad
not heard of the Mc Kinley prices since
tho election they had the distinction
of being the only people in the United
States in that condition of infantile
innocence.
Tho author of the Act to boom trust
certificates certainly would not have
ventured to repeat his convention
speech to his brother, Consul McKin
ley of this city. Consul McKinley
knows too well what sort of effects
protective taxes aro intended to pro
duce. Here is his interesting account
of tho gehosis of tho high-tarifi' idea in
the statesman's mind :
As for his acquisition of his tariff
views, I do not know that I can oiler
any better explanation than that of
inheritance. An old friend of our
youth, whom I met, in Honolulu, asked
me how I accounted for Lilly's tariff
ideas. I answered hnn thus: When
my brother wie horn my father was
seiliui; niu-iron for $12 a ton that cost
him $17 to manufacture, and Hilly
.McKinley Jr. was about as skinny,
puny and unpromising a baby physi
cally as any one would care to see. A
dozen years after his birth we had a
good protection and pig-iron went up
to $1(0 a ton, without, any increase in
cost of production. Jhlly Mckinley
Jr. commenced to grow fat, and he
swelled up correspondingly to the in
crease in the price of United States
piii-iron. His tarilf propensities are
certainly inherited.
This was certainly pleasant for tin
McKinloys, although the Consul for
gets to toll how tho people that had to
buy pig-iron felt about it. If Mr. Me
Kinloy Senior could make iron for $17
per ton and sell it for $!I0 a clear
profit of over 82 per cent it is no
wonder that William grew fat, and
that he resolved some day to intrench
.Mclunlev prices in a oill ol his own.
Consul McKinley says that in increas
ing the price to consumers from $12 to
$;il) per ton there was no increase in
the cost of production. Ono might
almost have thought that the family
prospersty would have justified a slight
raiso in tho wages of tho workmen
say about onongh to cut down the
profits of the establishment, to 30 per
cent; but probably anything so in
consistent with tho g.meral rule in
protected industries would have been
considered heretical. Since Statesman
McKinley, instead of merely profiting
by the tariff, has taken to reconstruct
ing it there has been twenty reductions
of wages to one increase. IOxaniiner.
HMwreajtimtVi murrnm
Tim new tariff law increasos the
duty on cotton ties foim !13 percent
ad valorem to 1.1! cents a pound, a
change in the form of duty, intended
doubtless to conceal the amount of the
increase, which is, at tho average price
of ties in lOngland, $:tl.0(i, from $1I.!2
to$2!).12 an increase of $17.20 a ton.
This increase is about a cent and a
(punier on each tie. Throo-lifths of
our entiro importation came from the
Whoolock forgo near Tunstall. If tho
stoppage (jf this forgo is any pleasure
to the protectionists they are welcome
to enjov it. If tho imposition of the
duty has done anything more valuable
to our country than to unnecessarily
increase the profit of somebody in
Pittsburg, wo aro all glad so far as that
goes. Hut the cotton growers of tho
country will not fail to notice that tho
McKinloy law has levied a duty of
$20.12 per ton, nearly 5)0 per cent ad
valorem, on the ties they have to buy
in order to turn their trade to some
body who had a pull with Major Me
Kinley's committee. National Demo

A Washington dispatch of tho 10th
says :
Prior to tho president's departure
this morning he issued a call for a
cabinet mooting for Friday, Juno 2(ith.
Secretary Kiwter will return in time to
attend this meeting, as ho announced
previous to leaving that it was impera
tive that he should be hero at that
time. It is understood that financial
matters will engage the attention of
tho cabinet, and among other proposi
tions to continue the coinage of silver
bullion, the final diKition of the
question to extend the Ij Hr-cout
ImuuU, and a cliaugo in the uMetaud

Quite a number of change of a minor

Aftkk the citizens of Union had
subscribed sufficient stock and called a
meeting for the purpose of organizing
an Agricultural Society, the people of
La Grande concluded they wanted one
also, and immediately f-et out to tee if
they could in some manner prevent
tho people hero from drawing the
$1300 appropriated by the Slate. The
meeting was called for Saturday, June
l.'lth. On Friday, June 12th, the
wind bag came out with the following
in his paper:
John McDonald was re-elected Pres.
and A. T. Neil was elected Sec. of tho
First Ea tern Oregon District Agricul
tural Society at Maker City on Wed
nesday. The election of directors of
this Agricultural Society will be held
at Union tomorrow and the location
of tho fair will be established. The
present outlook is that Union will se
cure the prize.
The wind bag is very changeable,
however, as everybody knows, and on
Saturday the next day was here
with all his pomp and gusto, inflated
to the fullest capacity for tho occasion.
In ono night's time ho had changed
his mind and had concluded that La
Grande was tho proper place for hold
ing the fair. He wasted a great
amount of wind during the day, and at
the meeting, without effect, lie has
no doubt by this time learned that it
takes something more thad wind to or
ganize and carry on a county fair.
A county fair is something in which
all the farmers, stock raisers and fruit
growers are interested and it must bo
remembered that a great number of
this class live east of Union, in Pino
and ICaglo valleys, Lower Powder, liig
creek and North Powder, who will
desire to attend and place their pro
ducts on exhibition. For this reason
alone, if for no other, the fair should
be held as near the middle of the
county as possible. Union is the
place. We have already a very good
ground with stables, grand stand and
other buildings which can bo fixed up
at a small cost, and we understand
with (he privilege of free use the first
year. Wo think the poople should
unite in this matter and work in har
mony. Because Union was fortunate
enough to have the fair held here is
no reason why the people of La Grande
and Island City should feel hard to
wards this place or vice versa. The
fair of the Union County Agricultural
Socio! v was held near La Grande for a
number of years and people from all
parts of the countv attended. Let
there bo no hard feelings in regard to
the matter, but all ccmuo along and
bring your fine stock, grain, vegetables,
big pumpkins, etc., and wo will have a
good time and profit thereby.
SHERIFF'S SALE,
rim wind pan lias not inuy re
covered yet. He is still sore becauso
Union succeeded in securing the fair
near this place. Hear him:
One year ago last spring we under'
took tho task of securing enough sub
soriptiriu oi siock to mereiv noid a
fair, and for this purpose proposed an
organization with $23,000 capital
stock, said stock not to be assessed but
ten per cont. The proposition wont
by default for want of patronage, for
with a very few creditable exceptions
tho citizens who owned the largest real
estate interests adjacent to Union wero
not down on the list for ono dollar.
There is nothing very surprising
about this. The fact is tho people are
a little slow in taking hold of a matter
in which such wind bags aro interested
and are trying to push through. Thoro
has been no groat amount of trouble
in raising tho necessary stock since
other parties have taken hold and
solicited subscriptions.
Wk are in receipt of tho initial num
ber of the John Day Sentinel, a now
paper recently started at the town of
John Day, Grant county, Oregon, by
Hoyd it Nelson. Tho paper is a seven
column folio size, all printed at home,
and is full of original and well-selected
matter. It presents a neat typograph
ical appearance, and gives every evi
dence of future prosperity. We wish
it success and gladly placo it on our
