This issue is a sample of what the Scorr will be during the coming year, when more extensive iniprovmeiits. will bo made. It is our intention to keep up with, or a little ahead of the times, and we cordially invite the co-operation of the people throughout the entire country. We thank our many patrons for past favors, and shall continue our endeaors to make the Scorr creditable, alike to ourselves and them. Mr. John Souder and Mr. Albert Scott, of Preston, Nebraska, relatives of Jos. Yowell, of Pyle canyon, arrived in this city a few days ago, looking for a location. They are very much pleased with tho appearance of tho country and think that Union is tho placo for thoin. Hefore locating in this country thrir business will take them hack to Nebiiutai, and they want to take with thorn a lot of cheap horses, as there is a demand for low ricol hews there. They say that the Intrd winter, cy clones and blizunrds of that country have killed a great number of horses, mid the farmers being unable to pay much to replace them, the cheap ani mlsto lw found in sonic parts of this oountrj will exactly fill tho hill.

We have in terviewed several of our young men and they niv it is a dinbolieul outrage. The facts hi the case as near as we can get at them are as follows: That pet crow that Jerry Thomson has been ed ueiitimr for some time has trot so he can speak English moderately well, j and now sits in the trees in front of the house and every time n young fellow passes by, he sings out, "Papa! papal Como here, papa! Stop that!" in a voice so like a human that you would declare it to be a little child speaking. Of course this is very annoying and we sympathised with the young dude who'expliiincd the ease to us. "You see" he t aid "that it's most item un pleasant for a fellah to be promenading and conversing with his best girl don' cherknow, and to have a voice cwy out and addwess you in that numnah don' cherknow. I t'un.-twiugs a man's nerves and throws him in an enibwarrassing 1 position, I assuab you." 'flic Scorx t as a fearless defender of the rights of the people cannot remain quiet in this instance, and although Jerry is a friend of ours, we m lift insist on Ins taking this feathered nuisance of bis away, and not allow him to insult inoll'eiisive citizens as they pas.s along the public thoroughfare. A i:UlCI!T IDIiA. llroiher Saltier, of the Centervillian, is no slouch, and is always prepared for emergencies, liceentlya man from Weston went over to Ccnterville to wallop him. The impending catastro phe, which, however was happily aver ted, is tbrillingly described by Sattlcr as follows: "Had ho attempted to ! raise his hand toward us while in this I ollice, would never returned to Weston ' to tell the tale, as he would have been dropped by our faithful helpmate in two short seconds. Hditors in the far wide west are always prepared for such occasions." We are under obligations to our brother journalist of Umatilla county for causing us to see a way out of some of our dillicuitics, that had not ' occurred to us before. We catch on, j simultaneously, as it were. A few of j these reptil'-s around here who have been thirsting for our blood are invited I to drop into this od'ice at any time. If I our "helpmate" don't put a hole through ! them about the si;:e of a stovepipe, it will not. be our fault. imoi' is. Quite a nuniber of our subscribers have fallen behind on their subscrip tions. We have reminded them of the fact several times, but still there are .-onie who do not respond. We are not running this paper for anything but .... "t tlio monev lucre is in u, aim as we en- there is in it, and as we en dcavor to give full value for the amount asked on subscription, we, expeot our pations to pay us promptly. This is sue will be sent to all our subscribers as usual. Next week if you do not re ceive, the paper you will understand the reason. It will then be in oilier for you to come forward, pay up, and re new, which we hope you will do, with out any back talk. We dislike to lose any of our friends and readers, but they must bear in mind that it takes money, and lots of it, to run a newspaper. covh or men vai.i.i:y, aviucii? The following item is going the rounds of the press : "A woman sold her wash-tub to a party of rilieinen for a target. They paid her $1. fit) for it; and after they had gone home she went out into the field and brought it back as good as it ever was." The vcrracious chronicler does not Mate where this feat happened, and leaves us somewhat in doubt as to whether he refers to the Covo or High Valley team. If either of these arc meant the matter bhould be corrected. (i((si'i:i An exchange remarks "that men who are advertised in their papers are the nen who transact tho businees of the town. You can pick up a newspaper, and in a few minutes tell who does thu Imying'and selling and keeps up the in terest of the place.
