Union county has superior advanta
ges over any other in Eastern Oregon
for capitalist to invest their money in.
Jaine.i Welch, Ed. and Harry Hughes
of North Powder, were bound over be
fore Conl. Baldwin last Saturday, for
cutting timber on government land.
Samuel V. Putnam, the liberal lect
urer met with great success in Baker
City, and organized a Union there
which starts ofT, with a membership of
eevunty-six.
New seats have been placed in St.
John's Episcopal church. They arc
very nicoly made and comfortable, ad
ding much to the appearance of the
interior of the church.
The County court which is now in
seesioi appropriated .$1000. for a
bridge at Fay's crossing of the Grande
Rondo river, and $400. for the iuiprove-
mcnt of Wallowa hill.
Thoe elegant cloaks, jackets and
gossamers received at Jo. Wright's this
week, are "going like hot cakes." Call
and get one before they arc all gone.
He is selling them very cheap.
County court has been in cession
this week but we were unable to ob
tain the proceedings for this week's is
sue. There is a large amount of busi
ness to attend to and keeps the board
busy to keep on top.
Charles Soules was brought before
U. S. Commissioner Critcs, by Deputy
Marshal Frush, charged with cutting
timber on government land and bound
over in $250 to appear before the U. S.
Circuit court at Portland.
Last week the Gold Ridge mine, Hid
den Treasure, Silver Queen, Golden
Star and Maiden's Prayer mines were
bonded by their owners; Jno. B. Irvin
and William Lewis, to .1. G Lewis, of
Little Rock, Arkansas, for $00,000 till
Jan 1st. 1838.
Chas Ncwland bought a Winchester
repeating shot gun at the Cove drug
store this week. After a thorough
trial it was found to shoot fine and
buck-shot, very close and hard, two
cartridges per. second. Price, paid,
eix-skot, 12-guagc, 25.00.
The tax-payers of this county will
find it to their advantage to read the
notice of the meeting of the Board of
Equalization, published in this issue.
Read, and if you have any business
with that body, attend to it while it is
in session or forever after hold your
peace.
William Wilson received, this week,
A very fine billiard table, mado by the
E. Brunswick Manufacturing Co.
San Francisco, Cal. Besides having
all the latest and best appliances and
fixtures, "Billy" always carries in stock
an extra quality of cigars, liquors and
fine wines.
Clins. F. Miller, this week, swore out
a warrant for thw arrest of his brother-in-law,
Jas. N. Mitchell, of Antelope,
charging him with assault with a deadly
weapon. The arrest was made yester
day afternoon by constable Cates, but
hearing had not bejm had when we
went to press.
Jaycox tt Foster havo a fino assort
ment of every thing in the lino of
general merchandise. A iino assort
ment of gents and boys' clothing, li -dies'
cloaks etc. This is one the enter
prising firms in the county and are
rushed with business. Give them a
call and see their goods, for they are
selling very cheap.
All who are in love, but not loved in
return, veteran maidens and bachelors;
all who are married but would like a
divorce, hen pecking wives and abu
sive husbands, grass widows, and wid
owers; all who have made marriage a
failure and all who would like to make
it a success, should attend Prof. Aul
guirc'a phrenological lecture upon
"Ive, Courtship and Marriage."
"To say that the citizens of La
Grande were thrown into a fever of ex
citement is but a feeble expression of
the real situation," is the way the
Journal says the news of the killing of
the bully Caldwell, was received there.
If this scribbler is to be believed the
people of that burg are very excitable,
and wc fear that the advent of the bill
poster of Barretts circus who "arrove"
there this week, has thrown some of
them into fits.
Trof. Aulguirc's lecture on Fhrcnol
ogy Wednesday night, and the ono on
physiognomy Thursday night, were very
entertaining. They were certainly of
a higher order than some wo have list
ened to upon the same subjects. His
cranial and facial delineation were
very good. Tho Prof, seems a gentle
man in every respect. To night his
lecture is on "Love courtship and mar
riage." Monday night he will lecturo
to tho children on Education etc. All
'lw)uld go and bear him.
ETCHINGS.
Or IuiprrsMn Mni!i mi tho "Scout"
by r.-iftttiij; i:intH
UxsnuwssAM.K Gam.. The Baker
City Daily Democrat, of the Sth inst.,
in an arjicle speaking of a road from
that place to Sanger, says: "Notice
has been received that tho P. O. De
partment at Washington will soon es
tablish a tri-weekly mail service into
Cornucopia, hut from which point
Baker City or Union is not known;
that already Union has a load loading
via Sanger to Cornucopia, but the peo
ple of that section favor Baker City
and not the Union route." Is that so,
Mr. Democrat? If so, why did the
people at Sanger sign the petition for
the mail service on the direct under
standing that it should be over tho
route fjoin Union to Cornucopia and
it was unanimnusly signed by all the
people of that, distiict, not only that,
hut the department at Washington
have established postollices at Saucer.
Big Creek at Dutih un Wright's hall,
and one at the Park will be cstablisneu
probably in a few days. This does not
sound much like getting the service
established from Baker City. Gentle
men who come in from that section
are decidedly in favor of the Union
route and so petitioned. The Union
people spent time and bore the ex
pense of these petitions with tho will
ing aid of everyone along the route,
and we have more faith in the P. O.
department at. tho Capitol than to
think for a moment that it would
practice such an imposition on these
petitioners.
Uncam.ud Eon. The Coroner's in
quest held on the body of Win. Cald
well at La Grande was entirely un
called for and certainly without any
authority of law. If a person -is found
dead, it is unquestionably the duty of
the coroner, or some peace oiHecr act
ing in his stead, to hold an inquest to
ascertain if possible, how or by what
means he came to his death. What
light can an inquest, throw upon the
death of a person who is shot down
before witnesses, and when the party
who did the killing says he killed that
person? The only object one can
have is either to gain absurd notoriety
or to replenish his pocket, with an an
ticipated fee.
"Cold Bi.ooii:n." Some of the
prints in speaking of the killing of
William Caldwell,' alias "Curly Bill,"
by Thomas Lemons at Ladd canyon,
a short time ago, call it "cold blooded
murder." We think that nothing was
brought out in the examination of
Lemon before the trying Justice to
warrant such a statement from any
paper in the county or elsewhere. It
certainly is not the province of any
journal to pronounce a verdict upon a
prisoner before the party has li.nl an
impartial trial before a piopcr court nt
justice. It is our opinion that there
are sosie very mitigating circum
stances connected with the killing.
A Gkand PmjKxoi.onioAi, Wunni.vo.
To-night, Prof Aulguirc will deliver
his great lecture upon, "Love, Court
ship and Marriage." lie does away
with the old adage that "true love
never runs smooth" and he also tells
how to he on good terms with your
mother-in-law. After the lecture the
Prof, will select ten ladies and ten
gentlemen who are mutually adapted
to marry, and mate them phrenologic
ally. All should attend this unique
wedding. Admission 25 ets.
Jailud ion Laiickny. Deputy
Sheritl' Harper arrested Sylvanus El
ertson, of Haines precinct, yesterday,
and lodged him in the hotel do llin
shaw on a charge of larceny. Elertson
is accused with breaking open two
trunks, tho property of another, and
taking therefrom the contents, lie is
said to havo a pard in this transaction
who in all brobability will toon be
placed behind grates for safo keeping
along with Elertson. Baker Democrat.
Statu Faih. The State Fair, for
this fall promises to be a good one, and
no doubt will be well attended. The
exhibits promise to he a larger ono and
of better quality than in former years,
as the people especially of the Willam
ette valley have become more deeply
interested in its success as a State fair
ever before. Eastern Orogon will bo
well represented in almost every de
partment. We hope it will ho conduc
ted on a better plan than has been
usual in former years.
SntrcK iiy LiHT.viN(i. Lightning
struck Charles M. Lee, a cow-boy, ami
also his horse and killed them both,
near Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, tho
other day. The stroke broke the horn
of the saddle, exploded all the catridges
in his belt and set fire to tho leather of
tho saddle, picket rope, blankets, tear
ing his hat, boots and shirt to pieces,
and tho fire consumed tho flesh of his
left leg from tho knee to tho ankle.
If wo arc not mistaken Jo-Jo will
turn out to bo McComas, formerly of
tho Mountain Sentinel, published in
Grande Rondo valley. Walla Walla
Union. Correct you are. Tho E. O.
man failed to recognizo his old friend
until tho Union called his attention to
Jo-Jo. E. O. Their photographs nro
not unlike. Baker Democrat: Tho
Czar's Jo-Jo and McComas are probab
ly distant relatives. Evolutionary re
semblance is strikingly remarkable.
We don't think it actually McComas
himself, for E. S. is now engaged in
sellius: tho Medical Lake Salts, and
when last heard from had entered into
a copartnership with the Dioty to
push tho business. No it isn't our old

Tho pen picture of "Sun set on Lake
Wallowa," "The Author" js too good
to be real. Such a display of pen ora
tory, reads much like the "wonderful
resources of Oregon," published in one
of the discriptivo pamphlets, of a Port
land real estate agent. It is certainly
very fine, hut who ever saw such com
parisons, except vivid iininaginations.
Why buy from imigrating agentw of
whom you know nothing, eitherof their
responsibility or the charecter of their
goods, when there are responsible deal
ers located near you, who carry full
and complete linos of all farm and mill
machinery and implements, and whoso

The case of Strddo and Thuinian,
charged with the murder of a shesp
herdor last spring on Succor creek,
Malheur county, and for which they
are now held without bonds to await
tho action of the next grand jury of
that county, for murder in tho first
degree, is one that has created wide
spread interest throughout this entire
section. Bitter feeling exists, and tho
issue, as between cattle owners and
sheep-men, is one of the primary
causes. Democrat.
Mr. Neville of Sandridge, was in
town the first part of tho week in the

years, and during this time has been
through tho courts from tho county
court to the Supremo court of tho state
where it was remanded back to tho
county court, and now it starts oil' on
an other pcrilious voyage. Wc trust
it can be scttlod to tho satisfaction of
