THURSDAY. AUGUST 13, 1891. is IT ItlUIIT? Tiik Scotrr dit-likesto bo continually finding fault with the city council and their manner of doine business, but duty compels us to again call atten tion to a few facts. It is a well known fact that when the present council took their seats a great majority of them were preju diced towards Tub Scout. This they probably had a right to be, but should they be governed by their prejudice to tbe detriment and at the expense of the taxpayers of the city? Most of our citizens or at least those who have given the matter thought arc well aware that the council did not do right when it awarded the Republican the contract for the city printing at a price 55 per cent higher than the bid of The Scout a fact which has been fully explained in these columns heretofore, and , which no member of the council can conscientiously deny yet they con tinue to pay this extra 55 per cent, and more, for the city printing. As will be seen from tho bills al lowed from month to month, the cost of running the city government a great deal higher than for years past, besides the heavy expense for water works, hook and ladder trucks, sur veying, street grading, etc., to say nothing about tho useless ami wasted expenditure of considerable money in experimenting with the roservoir at tho head of Catherine creek. We uro well awaro of the fact that it costd money to carry on the city gov ernment and are in favor of any ex penditure that will tend to build up the town, but when tho expenses uro running so high wo think it is tho duty of the council to sec Unit no j unnecessary expenses are incurred. Right here we will say that wo have no objections to the council paying the price for job printing as agreed to by the proprietors of tho Republican viz : 50 per cent lower than tho going rato charged by other houses in this vicinity; they aro wolcomo to it at that price. But do they do it? No, Tho bill as put in and allowed for a 22 nago pamphlet, law brief size, set in long primer thrible leaded, was ?22.50 for 100 copies. Tho regular price for such work, singlo leaded, is $1.00 por page, and many ollices aro doing it for 'JO cents per pago, for 50 copies. The extra 50 copies aro only worth about sfz.UO. According to their own bid thoy should have re ceived for tho work only $l!l.25, yet thoy have tho gall to put in a bill at tho regular prico and tho council has tho gall to allow it. Tho council has already paid tho Republican somo $10.00, or moro, extra for publishing ordinances, besides 50 cents to tho editor for ailldavit of publication of each ordinance, amounting to $5.50. This is a small mutter and wo do not claim that it will bankrupt tho city, or anything of tho kind, but it is a still smaller muttor for a council who were elected to servo tho best in terests of tho pooplo to indulgo in. If it wcro through ignoranco that thoy aro acting in this matter there would bo somo excuse, but such is not tho case. Is it right that thoy should continuu in this manner? Foil signing his wife's affidavit that she was still a widow, Justice of the Peace Jacob Lougonbough, of near Columbia, Ohio, has been arrested for fraudulently getting ?3G,000 in pensions. Mo.vday cf last week the election was held in Kentucky and it passed oft" very quietly. The legislators of the state will stand about as follows: Farmers and farmer democrats, 73; straight democrats, 5G; republicans, 15. The governor and state officers were elected by majorities ranging from 20,000 to -10,000. They aro all democrats. The new constitution was carried by a large majority. Govekxok Pexxoyer has appointed thirty delegates, all from Eastern Ore gon, to represcHt tins state at a con vention to be held at Salt Lake City, Sent. 15th to the 17th, to consider matters pertaining to the reclamation of the arid lands of the west, and peti tion congress to cede to each state and territory all such lands for the purpose of reclamation and the support of the public schools.

Our bee men report having good luck this season. Stock men are on tho range looking after their herds. Some of our farmers are cutting the second crop of alfalfa. I can safely say that the fruit crop in the valley is.the largest ever seen. Uncle Gus Peters is building a new dwelling. Maybe he is looking after her. Eli Chandler has gone to Idaho to spend a few days with his brother, I. Chandler. Quite a number of our people are rusticating in the mountains and gath ering huckleberries. Ben Longley returned homo yester day from a trip to British Columbia where he has been for some time. K. Young is rounding up his band of horses and will ship them east soon I hope he will have good luck. lewis irerguson will snip two car loads of horses to the eastern market in a Jew days. The Chandler brothers will also make a shipment of a like amount if they do not sell here. The man that called himself a Uni ted States detective, who borrowed a Winchester rifie of D. I. Saunders and a pistol from John Evans, to hunt a horse thief, sold the gun and revolver in Pine valley. He was arrested, tried, and bound ovor to appear before the grand jury, and was taken to Union where he will board at Bollcs' hotel for some time. We have had several hard characters in the valley this summer, but are about rid of them now. We arc all making preparations for a grand time at the Harvest Home picnic which commences August 20th. Everybody in tho whole county is in vited to come and havo a good time with us, for we will have plenty for all. There arc many premiums to compete for, which will be paid in spot cash.

Their oxcuso is that thoy "havo no show" in that state. What courageous, stalwart men thoy must bo, Thoy outnumber the democrats, and slink away to their holes, making no attempt to vote. If thoy want to play tho old and cheap martyr rolo, they should not claim tho majority. If thoy were kept from voting by iutimidaton, thoy should muster up pluck enough to nuiko their wny through u smaller number.
