Major Il. j. Norton and DR.. A. r..

The mistake was all due tn n ludi.
crous typographical blunder In the
Miner. II daily paper published mt
Sumpter, Oregon. Two events out
of the ordinary occurred on December
18th. One was the sensational rob-
hsry o' a passenger train between
Sumpter aud San Francisco; the
other was tho arrival Of Major Nor
ton aud DR.. Gasimre on n visit or In
spection to their mining properties.

In its Issue of the following day, but
IL some manner mixed up the type In
suoh u why that tho major and the
doctor we're branded IN bold West
Virginia bandits, and accused OF the
hold up "job."
On the following day there was Nh
apoloRy. The editor OF the Miner
eraveiy asserted that he was "con-
vinced that neither one Of the gentle
men had anything to do with the
Job" aud added that IL they we're
connected with the train robbery, u
would have been more successful. The

ago the Butte papers contained per-
sonal mention of n man who had
started on n tour Of the world after
many years OF hard work and atten-
tion to business In Butte. Everyone
who knows the man will recognize
the story, and those who do not
know him would be no wiser to see
his name in print; therefore, for the
purposes of this illustration, he
will be known as Jones. Two years
ago he WAS employed ss II clerk,

never earned much more during his

Now Before the LegisIature-Resi-
dents Of Union Feel That Their
Property Has Been Deprecated I'm

~ Seat to La Grande-Taxpayer
Will Urge Passage of the Bill.

That the town of Union may still
be a county seat, a new county TO
be called Hot Lake county, and COM
prised of all the eastern portion of
the present Union county, is now be-
ing agitated before the Legislature.
A bill creating Hot Lake county is
now before the house and this morn
ing strong delegation of Union bus
mess men passed through en- route TO
Salem, where they will urge the Gre
alton of the new county. before the
committee on counties.
The new county will contain about
1900 voters and about 1900 square
miles of territory. comprising all the
eastern portion OF Grand Ronde val
ley, from Hot Lake to the Baker
county line, including the thriving
settlements of Park, Cove, Telocas-
set, North Powder, Glover Creek,
Catherine Creek. Pyies' Canyon Ladd
Canyon and Medical Springs. beside
the city of Union and its excellent
surrounding country.
This agitation began Immediately
after the county seat OF Union voun-
ty was removed from Union to La
Grande. A large number of heavy
taxpayers reside adjacent to Union
and in the country to be included in
the new county, and they feel that
their property has been deprecated
in value by the removal of the county
seat

Salem, Jan. 26.-Malarkey's bill,
limiting the hours of labor of rail-
road employees was defeated In the
senate after a hot debate marked by
much bitterness.
The senate adopted a resolution to
investigate the charges made against
the superintendent and warden OF
the penitentiary by L. H Mcmahon
of Salem, a lawyer. who has been
trying for over year to make trouble
for these officials. He brought suit
last year, but 1t was thrown out OF
court. He then laid the charges be-
fore the grand jury, which refused to
investigate. 1t is said to be ma
licious persecution growing out of a
personal feud.

house. 1t leaves the secretary OF
state and treasurer. untouched until
the terms of the present incumbents
expire.
