A marriage license Was iesuod this week to John Wil.-on and Ho.i Hlair. A. Levy keep liis immense stock of goods, full and complete in every de partment. The water in Catherine creek has been nearly overflowing its banks the past week, being unusually high. From what we can learn the fruit tree. have not been injured by the lato .frosts, as much a.s was fust thought. linker City, La Grande, and Sutniner ville will celebrate on the Fourth of ' duly, and other points to hear horn. Drake is fitting up the interior of his. store in line style, and it now pie.-enU a. very neat appearance. tleo. 10. Owen is clerking there now. Greig the druggist, keeps always on hand, u complete stock of the purest cheniiclrs and medicines, and can I i 11 orders at a moments notice. II. Anson, of the New York Store, La Grande, is the place to buy paints, oils, and glass. None but the best qual ity kept, and prices reasonable. Do not sufl'er from the obnoxious bed bugs or chicken lice when you can get asiipply of the sure-kill Dalmiation insect powder at the Cove drug store. A number scrapers belonging to the county are being repaired at Johnson's blacksmith shop. We presume they .are for the useot ths various road dis tricts. The bills of those owing this paper, will be presented this week. We men tion this so that the shock will not be ho great as it otherwise would be, and that they may ho prepared to liquidate promptly. Frank Hro's Implement Co. of Island City, have a poem m this isue which might be called "a beautiful tribute" to the Walter A. Wood Hinder. The 'pome" is not loaded, and is perfectly harmless. Read it. If you have an item of news, give it to us." We need it in our business. The enterprising contributor of news is as welcome in our sanctum as a delin quent subscriber, ready to settle up, or a lady bringing a handsome boqiiet. An immense lot of new machinery was ordered by iMr. .Jayco.x, while at Portland, for the Cove flouring mill. .Fixtures for manufacturing flour ac- cording to the roller process will lie put in, and connection made so that either the burr or the roller pioccss may be used. There seems to have been a mistake made in the location of the grave of the I late Miles Heard, who was niteiied in .the Union cemetry, and this week the I .remains were exhumed and reinteried in a diflercnt section of the yard along I side of his first wife. I Dr. S. Uarinan, of St. Petersburg, .Russia, an occulist and practical opti- j cian, is now at the Centennial hotel, j .and will remain here about three j weeks. He oilers his services to all ! those in need of them. The doctor's references and more extended notice will be given in our next issue. Jlalfour Guthrie & Co., the Pacific coast branch of an English syndicate for loaning money, have made arrange ments for oppcrating in this section. J. K. Komig is theiragentat La Grande and U. F. Hell will transact all busi ness at this place. See his ad. of "money to loan" in another column. Sanger it Allen, the new proprietors of the Clough it Duncan mine, will jiut in a ten stamp mill in a few weeks, when at least fifty men will be employ ed all the time. At present they are running tho old arastra. If the Union and Pine creek road was in good con dition it would greatly facilitate work on this, a well as other mines along the route. A. Mitchell, was arrested this week at the instance of (Jairoll it Wilson, on :v charge of larceny. He waived exam ination and was held in a bond of .1H() which he gave, to appear before Justice Thomson on the :Mth inst. There seems to have been some trouble about an abstract that was being made, which Mitchell has in his possession, and tlic plaintill's also bring a replevin suit to rccoTer tho same. The trial is t for the 2:ird. Militia companies are being formed in various towns throughout the State. What's the matter with organizing a company in Union. There are lots of young men hero who would make good soldiers, and, even if they should not get so they could cock a cannon, or touch oil' a sword with proficiency, there would be moie colonels in our midst, and we need them in ordur to givo us tone, "lion's " abound in this section, but there seems to Ihj a dearth of'Gon'ls,"and "Corn's." 0. P. Jaycox.of tho linn of Jaycox it Foster returned from Portland lat Thursday. While there he laid in an immense stock of dry goods, furnishing goods, groceries, booU and shoes, crock ery otc, which are now en route for this pluco. AllThotrood are fresh, new. and of the latest styles, bought for cash, and tho gentlemen assure us that they will he sold at astonishingly low prions, ovon for thoso times when evorythinu is being told on bmall nmrging.

All are invited to attend, epeeially old soldiers. The members will meet at their hall, and at 1 1 o'clock a. in. repair to the Pres byterian church, wheie services will be held, Rev. Irwin presiding. The paitieipants will then inarch to the cemetery, headed by the Union Silver Cornet Hand, and decorate the graves with liowers. It is a beautiful custom and all should participate. Ills OiToirriwiTY. It is rarely that a chance comes to a man but once in a life time to immortalize himself. Our friend "Peter the Poet" of the Long Creek JCaile thinks that president Cleveland had his chance recently, when he Was interviewed by Sullivan, lie says: "When John L. Sullivan clutched the presidents right arm, to feel of it, then was the time fur Cleve land to immortalize himself. Had he slugged John on the horn with his left and thundered out, "Uncivil service, also needs reform!" he would have gone down to more posterities than you could shake a stick at." K st it ay IIohskh. Mr. George Ames who went tip to Wei.-er City last week, to look at some stray horses tnere, in forms us that the animals do not be long to him, although they have a brand very similar to the one used by him. The band consists of three valu able mares and two colts. The mares are each branded with letters JA connected, and the colts with a T hav ing a (plater circle over the top. The owner of the animals will do well to look after them, as Mr. Ames is confi dent there are some horse theives there who have there eyes on them, and are only awaiting an opportunity to drive them oil'. The animals are now rang ing in the mountains, north of Weiser City, near the railroad bridge. The Harnett Hro's can give information as to where they are. Tin: Militia Law. On the 20th in.t. the militia bill passed by the last Legislature will go into eflect. All the present officers will be legislated out of office by it. On June 1st the different companies will elect line officers, and on July 1st the company ollieen will meet and lect regimental or battallion officers, at' the case may be; if regimen tal a Colonel, Lieutenant-Colonel and Major will he elected ; if battalion, the two litter will be chosen. The Military Hoard, composed of the Hrigadier Gen eral. Adjutant General Judge Advocate General. Inspector-General and Sur geon General, will compile tho rules and regulation governing the militia, and in addition divide the state into three regimental districts. Any district containing !! companies will lie under the comand of a Major; if over three and under eight a Lieutenant-Colonel will be the eomanding oilier. TitAin: at IIo.mi:. When a citizen of Union desires some article that he can not buy of our homo merchants at a fair price it is right and proper that he should go elsewhere to purchase, but the man who will go or send to some foreign city to do his trading when he can get the same quality of goods at the same price, of his home merchant, is doing that which will not benefit himself and which does his homo com munity a positive injury. Kveiy man has a legal right to purchase where he pleases; but a public spirited citizen will patronize homo enterprise iirst and go abioad if he must. Such things are wrong not commercially wrong; but wrong to tin! enterprising indust rious home merchant who is entitled to your trade, and who is prepared to give you good bargains. The spring trade is opening, our merchants are ready to tell. If they prosper our city prospers. If the city piosH:is it furn ishes a ready market for our farmers and they prosper. Prosperity is tho ultimate object of all legitimate enter prises and industries. Trade with your homo merchant and see if it won't pay. Frank Hro's Implement Co., of Isl and City, carry the largest stock of standard implements to be found in Eastern Oregon. Their terms and pri ces defy competition. They ill way have on hand extra anil repairs for goods they sell, which is a matter of great importance to the purchaher. f SCHOOL REPORT.

Mrs. Kennison and daughters of Wingville, Haker county, woie visiting friends and relatives in this city, the fore part of the week. They went home Tuesday. Mr. Hen. llalley, of Island City, has been sojourning in Union during the week. Hen can "liarrate a narrative" as well as the next man, and makes lots of fun. Mrs. Hidwell.of West Union, was the recipient of a snprise party last. Thurs day evening, it being her birthday. A large number of friends were in at tendance who wished their fair hostess many more jiappy birthdays, ami spent a most enjoyable evening with her. J. II. Kathhtin, manager of the Port land stock yards, was kicked by a vi cious horse, on Monday of last week, in the face, severing the skin from the eye to near the mouth on light side of nose, beside flattening the eye ball and destroying the sight. 'Possibly it may have to he cut out. Mr. Hathhuu is now in good spirits and hopes soon to rec ver. Mrs. Savage, while coming up from the depot, last Thursday morning, seated on the back .-eat of the vehicle, had the misfortune to bo thrown out and severely bruised about the head. She was taken into Wm. Wibons' res idence and cared for. As she is an invalid the ehoek pi ost rated her more than anything else. The accident was caused by the horses getting frighten ed at somlhing and jumping on the bridge too fast. P. O'Sullivan, county judge, and J. A. Humble, commissioner, of Wallowa county, have been in this city during the week, attending to business in the interest of their county. They placed unorder for the necessary hooks, blanks etc. with Gen. 1). Harnanl it Co. of St. Louis, Mo. whose agent is here. The ollicialsof the new county seem to bo getting down to work in good style, and are earnest in their endeavors to have everything move oil' right. The Haker City people are making strenuous efforts to induce the railroad company to locate the end of the di ision there. A meeting was held re cently and a comittee was appointed to confer with the railroad authorities in regard to tho matter. They figure it out that the proper location for the end of the divisions are as follows: From Portland to The Dalles 100 miles, From Dalles to Umatilla 110 miles, From Umatilla to Hakrr LiO miles, From Haker to Caldwell ll'i miles, etc. It looks plausible on paper and we may now look for a setto between Haker and La irande. hn.iov i.ii'i:.

From Horace Eaton, who was in town this week, we learn that the trees which hud fallen across the road du ring the winter have been lemoved, but there are two slides which will have to be smoothed down before the road is practicable. When this is dono it will be in as good condition as it was last fall, and travel will at once com mence, lie think" that about .f7."i .00 worth of work will put it in condition for travel. No attempt was made this winter to keep it open, as there was but very little travel to Pine creek from any direction. The fact has been dem onstrated, however that it will make a most excellent winter road, when tho contractors have been made to put the work on it they agreed to, and the grades evened Up. According to the survey no grade on this road should exceed 12 feet to the 100. The- snow has about disappeared, and from this time on, during the summer it will be a most delightful road to travel, on ac count of the magnificent scenery through which it passes. Heautiful streams abound along the route, and the traveler can find rest beneath the umbrageous trees which shield and shade the road nearly the entire dis tance. Petitions have been circulated for post-ollices to be established at the Park, Dig creek and llogein on this route, and a stage will be put on. Ar rangements are being made to have the slides above mentioned removed, and travel will commence over this route in a very few days. We think it safe to say that after the road is once opened it will never be closed again, as there will be sufficient, travel to keep it in good shape both summer and winter, 'flu Pine Creek mines will be heard from this year. HASH HALL. Last Sunday the Union Hase Hall Club went up to North Powder and played a practice game with the club at. that place. Our boys got "white washed" the first two innings, which looked rather discouraging to those who went from here to witnes-t the game, but the boys stayed with them, and at the end of the ninth inning the score stood 20 to .'12 in favor of the North Powder boys. It was a very interes ting game, and a large crowd of ladies and gentlemen were on the gtouuds to witness it. We hope to see them play another game in the near future, and think our boys will make a better showing next time. Following is the score. noktii rownr.n'xiNU. Name. Vandle.ir, p. . .
