WASHINGTON GRANGE.
Newtown, Friday, February l9.l9O9.

As February 12 was the centenary of the birth of Lincoln and Darwin, the meeting of the Grange nearest that date, occurring on February 15 and held at w. Aspinwall's, was de- voted to them. The principal speak CTS were Rev R. E. Carter and Hon J. c. Brins.nade, our representative in the legislature and chairman of the educationc committee. MT Brins- made told a number of anecdotes O. MT Lincoln which have not been worn threadbare by continued pub lication, spoke of his honesty, dili- gence, tact with his associates, and while MT Lincoln's mentality and wisdom may have been equal to his eminent contemporaries, his cnarac- ter is impressive on account of it's beautiful, moral character. MT Car ter spoke of Darwin, ms early lire and tastes, his patient study and re- search both on land and sea, his theory of evolution, and the differ ence between the theory of evolu- tion to-day and the Darwinian theory. Some educational problems were also discussed. The social hour which followed was made more enjoyable by the delicious lunch served by our host and hostess. Those who attended felt that it was we'll worth a ride of two or three mics in order to be present.

'UN|ON COUNC|LMEN
ASKED TO RESIGN

Union, Ore, March 25.-At a meet
ing of the city council in Union held
Tuesday evening a petition signed by
practically all the business men of the
town was presented asking the coun-
Gil 10 resign. Mayor Law at first de-
clined to consider the petition, de-
claring the same mot in order" but
he was finally prevailed upon to SUBJ
init ii to the council.
The difficulty is over some recent
ordinances which are considered by
many to be very Puritanical in char
acter Under the new regulations
it was proposed to allow no sales of
cigars. ice cream or other similar
ON Sunday. The radical
action of the council is considered by
the majority ef the people to be in
the nature of clash between the cit
izens and the ultra reform element,
to whom is ascribed a willingness to
enforce the bluest of blue laws. The
citizens are up in revolt. The city
officials are not subject to recall un-
III after they have been in office six
which will not be until the |
first of July The next alternative |
adopted was of a plain and open pc |
ition asking the council to resign.

The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance from Umatilla last August
of E. V. Hedberg, seems to be deep
ening instead of clearing by the find
ing of his remains scattered about
the sage brush in the vicinity of Una
tilla Butte. A message received in
Pendleton last evening told of the
finding of the mans clothing and a
portion of one of his legs, from which
the flesh had been eaten by coyotes.
Coroner Folsom and District At
torney Phelps left for Hermiston on
the noon train to hold an inquest and
ascertain, is possible, the cause of
death.
Johnny Rice and ]. NJ. Scarbor-
ough are the men who are reported
to have made the last finding and
they are also the men who found the
head of the missing man a few weeks
ago. These two men went to Una
tilla on a mysterious mission this
morning and full details of the find
ing will not be known until they make
their report to the officers.
1t is said, however, that the coat
was found rolled up, with the inside.
out, and stuck into a bunck of sage
brush, as if in an attempt to hide il.
In the pockets of the coat were two
drafts, amounting to about $500.
and railroad ticket, bearing the sig
nature of E. V. Hedberg. If it de-
velops that this report is true. the
identity of the dead man is fully es-
tablished but the manner of his death
is as much a mystery as ever.
1t is argued that had the man been
murdered for his money as was at
first supposed the drafts would also
have been tagen. His valuable gold
watch would also probably have been
aiken from the coat.
This coat was found from a ouar-
er to half mile distant from where
he head was found and some dist
Ince from the coat, the remains of n
eg was found. This had the appear-
nee of having been gnawed on and
'ulled about by coyotes. A portion
f pair of pants and some under
are also said to have been
ound.
There is some mystery surrounding
ne finding of these things as the two
len are keeping them hid and refuse
divulge their whereabouts until as
lred of the reward which was Of
cred. The officers however will
robably compel them to give up
hat they have found, sometime this
1ening. The head which was dis
'vered sometime ago has been kept
hiding since that time.
A message received this morning
ON Portland, stated that G. H.
edberg of Ashland, a nephew of the
issing man. left that city this NOR
ng for Hermiston,, for the purpose
identifying the remains.
The finding of the drafts in the
ad mans clothing would cause To-
| officers to entertain the belief that
5 death was either suicideal or ac-
dental. There are others, however.
40 cling to the belief that he was
ordered, and who declare that the

afts, knowing they would lead TO
