Cousty Jail Aram
mil to over-
Sowing.
Since our last issue seven new prison
ers have been confined in the county
' jail, which, together with the prisoners
and witnesses held over, makes sixteen
in all. The new arrivals are Geo. Gotz,
from 1.H Grande, lfi days for assault;
, Berry Evans, Orlando Evans and lit
; Wahl, from Elgin, committed to await
i the action of the next grand jury, for
'larceny from a dwelling; Ed Lewis, La
: Grande, larceny of coal oil, tfB days;
. Wm. Evans and Jos. Sprowles, llilgard,
i committed to await the action of the
next grand jury, fur larceny of harness.
, The jail is now overcrowded and is like
: ly to continue so till the next term of
! court. At present there are only sleep
I ing apartments in the cells for 12 men.
j We had occasion to visit the jail yester
j day and must say that the manner in
which our sheriff is compelled to coop
'. up the prisoners in the small cells is a
disgrace to Union, county. It has beon
apparent to most everyone for some
: time past that the jail should be en
1 larged and made more secure. As it is,
' the shcrilX has to keep the prison
1 era confined in the cells, with hardly
htuuding room, or if he lets them out in
' the corridor it requires a constant guard
night and day at a great expense which,
however, would not lie so bad did the
county make allowance fu the extra
cost of guards. The sheriff has to pay
his men cash and board them, and the
I only for wagog in goripti
AVhen the 'new cells were placed in the
," jail u large hole was left in the floor,
f which vet remains unrepaired. In our
opinion the court could practice a little
, economy by making some improvements
about the Union county jail.
Touchers' Association.
In responso to im advertised meeting
a large number of the teachers of Union
' county met in the public school build
' ing at La Grande, Saturday, December
12th, at 1 :30 p. m.
1 In the absence of Supt. Carter, who
i was sick, tho meeting was, called to
i order by Prof. O. D. Carjier, of La
! Grande, who was elected temporary
' chairman. C. B. Leatherman, of Un
! ion, was made secretary.
The Association then sing, in an en -i
thusiastic manner, "America," which
caused tho 'hearts of those present to
swell with patriotism for their country.
A class of Binall children was then
introduced to tho Association by Mrs.
' Scott, of La Grande. The class gave
I some fine concert recitations and calis
thenic exercises, after which Mrs. Scott
, used the class to illustrate her method
! of teaching "Primary Numbers." This
subject was presented in the light of
recent psychological researches and
elicited many comments from those
present. The little folks performed ad
mirably and showed that they had
received careful training.
The always interesting subject of
"School Government" was then pre
sented by C. B. Leatherman of Union.
This presentation was followed by a
general discussion by Mrs. Scott, Mr.
Huffman, Miss Landon and Bev. Le
Boy, who brought out many excellent
ideas on this important subject.
A well written paper on "Percentage"
was read by Miss Henrietfe Pierce of La
Grande. This paper indicated careful
preparation and a thorough knowledge
of the subject.
I A general discussion was then had
I upon the advisability of organizing a
j County Teachers' Association to be held
i onto a month at different points in the
county. It being tho unanimous opin
ion of those present that such an organ
ization should exist in Union county,
the following permanent officers were
elected :
President, Supt. J. L. Carter; vice
president, C. B. Loathorman; secretary,
Miss llonriotto Pierce; corresponding
secretary, Prof. O. D. Carper.
Supt. Carter, C. B. Leatherman and

tary of state, pays the Statesman, and nil
show an inereaw? over iSMO, with the
exception of Grant and Baker counties.
The total returns of the 1'5 assessors show
a total taxable property amounting to
$102,081,5(18, and estimating the six
counties not yet heard from, Yamhill,
Morrow, Lane, IVugla-., Clatsop and
Benton, the anie as IS'.Kl, there will be
a grand total of $122,160,888, as aguliiBt
a total of $114,07",7S8, for thirty-ono
counties in 1S!0. From rejwwts rwelved
these counties will show an increase,
and it is presumed the aggregate tax
able property returned to the state
b-xtrd of equalization for adjustment
and equalization at its December meet
ing will fall little short of $130,000,000.
After the !xail have done their work,
the governor, secretary aud treasurers
will figure up the running expenses, and
make a clean lew of the state.
Wallowa Miswn,
It is almost a foregone conclusion,
says the Chieftian, that first -class min
ing machinery, though of limited capac
ity, will be put into operation In the
Joseph mining district tho coming year.
This machinery will prove a stimulant
to energetic and thorough prospecting,
will lead to further devolopcment of
many a promising claim, and do it deal
of good generally. There will be tsOMO
disappointments, of coumq, when the
ores are tested by practical machinery
instead of in crucibles oi the assay office,
but in the end the ledge owner will be
greatly benefitted. And when this much
hoped-for machinery is put into opera
tion we shall not fear the results already
prophesied that the Joseph district
will show some of the best paying mines
in the northwest.

AFTER THE ADMINISTRATORS.
Gov. Pennoyer Appoints an Attorney to
Look After the JloC.inn Estate.
At lust it seems there is to bo some
light thrown Ukiii the manner in which
the estate of John Mc.Cann, who died
several years ago In Union county, has i
Ihhmi adminiytered upon
At the time of McCannV death his
estate was appraised at $15,000. The
county court for Union county ap
pointed as administrators of said estate,
W. II. Huirman and John A. Tucker,
for the personal property of the de
ceased, and Willis Skill' for the jwrtuer
ship projierty of McCann and Skiff.
Since that time it is said no accounting
has been rendered by the administra
tors, Willis Skill' having mysteriously
disappeared in the spring of ISStt, the
particulars of which are familiar to all.
McCann died intestate and as far as is
known without having any relatives,
and his estate in consequence reverts to
the state. Accordingly Oov. Pounoyor
a few days ago appointed ilwni O. llol-'

IN MEMOSIUM.
IMnok to the memory of John It. Uuofcnmn
who dlwl at the HiindriilKU, Oregon, Dee. 1, ls'Jl.J
Tho wide lliirth misses but one more
Nor heods the ruthless oushiliKht limilo
When miflunt Heath unfolds thu door
With key that knows, has known, no rust.
Thu eli elltiK sphere fools naught of pain
And rolls around again, ncalu.
Thou'rt (jono unto that nlRhtless clime
l'rom whoso unllmltablo bourne
Iteoms never what inorlals eall time,
Hut greater IIkIU, vtcrnltv.
Disrobed, disenthralled from sorrow
Surcciiso from euro need'st not boriow.
The kind touch of that vanished hand
Comes not to greet us hero oi;alii;
Wo stranuely miss theo from our baud.
Thy kindly words, thy ureetlnus rare,
Our noblest prldu Is but to view,
Our humblest faith Is raised aiiuw.
"Hut whom wo lovo can never die.
For surely lovo tho pure 11 fu saves''
And raises to Its ellmo on IiIkIi.
Anil love can reaeh from spheru to sphere,
No Hullo bounds havo yet been found
To border this eternal round.
Tho earth in lis abundant life
To all abounds In pluutltudu.
As this short life of mortal strife
Is over passim,' millions,
Ho much lens Is our paltry lovo
To his estate, tho lovo above.
