"Winn (Joe is the nam" of the ."hoc maker at Long eivek, Grant county. .He hails from the llowcry kingdom. The Summerville city council has fixed the licence for hrewers, who re tail in iunntities of less than one gal lon, at $200. er year. I). A. Bovlesheing unable to put up" bonds for the costs of action in the io Itlevin suit against Irwin and l'unch, last week, the case was dismissed. A move is on foot in Baker county to secure the pardon of l.ert. l'roseott, who was sent to the penitentiary jibo'ut three years ago, for horse stealing. The Ladies' Aid Society of the Pres byterian church will meet at the resi dence of Mrs. A. F. Benson, Friday afternoon, May Oth., at two o'clock. If. H. Drake has had the front of his store building painted in gorgeous style, and remodeled and fixed up the interior. It is a neat and attractive place. Last week the jury in the case of the State against Steven D.,Koster, indicted for the killing of 1 1. C. .larrcll, ex-county clerk of Oiant county, last fall, brought in a verdict of justifiable homicide. iulius Levy returned from Baker City thf fore part of the week. We understand he will go to Centerville, in a few days, and will enter into part nership with .lake Block, in the mer cantile business at that place. According to the report of the county clerk of Baker county, the indebtedness of the county is .$00,001. NO -titer deduc ting the amount due from cx-sherill' Daily, the estimated unpaid current taxes, and the amount now in the treas ury. ' Considerable improvement is going on in our town, of a substantial char acter. I'nion has not over grown it self and we venture to say that its busi ness men are doing better than tho.-o of any other town in this section of the .state." The Leader says that, a little four-year-old daughter of .Inhn Davis, living on the Weston Mountain, wandered away from home last Friday, and was found on Saturday, threo miles from home. The little one had been out in the cold mountain air for thirty six hours without food or shelter, and was kidlv chilled. Mrs. Watson, who has been teaching in (he intermediate department of our public school, will take her departure to-morrow for La (Jrande, where she lias an engagement to teach another term. The people here, especially 1 1 to school children, will miss her greatly, as she has endeared herself to them in many ways. Jake Bloch is now in Centerville, Umatilla county. lie bought the stock of goods belonging to Mr. Morris of that place, and will open a general mer chandise, store. 1 1 is family will go over in a few days. We are sorry to have them go. .lake is a prompt, honest, anil reliable businessman, and will lie. quite an acquisition to the town of Centerville. There seems to be a growing animos ity between the cattle men and the sheepmen throughout the entire coun try. A I'matilla county exchange says that the cattle men in one or two local ities in that county will imitate the ac tion of the F.agle valley stockmen and give notice that saltpetre will be used in their salt on the ranges. It would seem that this is not the best way in the world to adjust matters of this kind. A superior quality of marble has been discovered near Huntington, and a company has been incorporated, with a capital stotk of .$50,000. for the pur pose, of working it. Saws will bo put in and marble slabs for tombstones, mantles and ornamental window and door sills and stops- manufactured, while the refuse or smaller pieces will be burned into a superior nrlioloof lime which will find a ready market all over .tho Pacific coast. ..his.

Turner Oliver, who wap on a tlyiujj visit to the lower end of the vulloy thi week, says that the imjipiwUi for an nbuiidant crop this your uw very flat- .tering, and thinks flier WH bo one fourth more grain .- wii in Union coun ty thin year than over tovivu.

Faundcrs, charg ing him with uro.-s carelessness while ujing us sherill'of I'nion county. The Scout should substantiate all such charges hvfutc it attempt to make peuj ile believe them." A e ca'iv not for what this cur mav sav of us individu ally, but when he attempts to defame the dead, we, in common with all men 1 of feeling, must protest. Sberitl' Satin- i dels was a warm friend of ours, and a I man strictly honorable anil upright in every act of his life so far as we know,' and if Kuhn will point out a single instance where we have uttered or printed anvthiiii: asuiust the late A. L. Saunders, we dollars in gold. will He lltt'O liiln i f I cannot do it. .'"- "' . Doubtless, in order to gratify some ha tred he has for the dead man, he takes this method, thinking that if he can make the people believe that the Srorr has made charges against Saunders it would have moie weight than if he made them himself. SlU'h a piece of work will shock the sensibilities of de cent jieople. a (iimu Mtms. The County Commissioners have caused a neat swinging gate to be placed at the entrance of the court house yaid; and Judge (ioodall, at hi own expense has planted some more shade t ices. This is right and we are in hopes that thu improvement will hot slop at this. Alike fence should be built, and a wind mill erected some where on the premises to furnish water for the court bouse and jail, and for irrigating purposes. It could be made one of the must attractive places in. the city at a very little cost. The va rious oil'ieers inform us that if the proper facilit'us were at hand they would take delight, at their leisure mo ments, in cu'ltivatinu: and and beauti fying the place, and ?oon transform it Irom its present barren state to an or nament to the city and a credit to the county. Let it be done. NOT SO 1!.I. An idea of the general prosperity of the country may in a manner be ar rived at by noting the number of per sons who.risk their necks in tin mat rimonial nuose, during a certain period of time. The records at tho court house show that ill marriage licences were issued in Union county during the vear biU, and 17 during tho first months of li'.bT. This is not bad, al though it might be improved on with the numberof our inhabitants. It will be seen that the number of mauiages this year is nut up to tho average of 1 SS7. Wo don't know whether the inter-state commerce law is to blame for this or not, but wo trust the young men of the county will not be intimi dated, and exclaiming with Bobby Burns, "The church and State may xiuig to hell, And I'll lilt! to lav" Annie!"
