V THE OREGON SCOUT. AMOS K. JONKS, KUll'Oli The Oregon Scout has as large a circu lation as any three papers in this sec tion fthe State, combined, and is cor respondingly valuable as an advertising medium. Friday, October 28, 1SS7. Union and Vicinity. Town full of wind day. and dust vester- Attorney Crites returned from Port land Wednesday, Wo notice Mr. William Catcs, of Telocasct in town, this week. John Kimhrell, of North Powder was on our streeta (his week. Attorney James Eukiu returned Saturday, with his newly made bride. If you want a good newsy paper to read, subscribo for the Oregon Scout. The stage from Cornucopia comes in loaded with passengers and fast freight. "Leaves have their time to fall," ,md judging from our Hidow.ilks thi- is the time. Houses to rent are very scarce in the city, not one, suitable to .vinter in, being vacant. . Mr. I. S. llaller, of Telocasct, made this otlice a pleasant and substantial call, this week. Mr. J. T. Woodell of Summeiville, was in town this week, and made our office a call. Every stranger who comes to Union is delighted with pleas-ant location and bright futuro of Union. The M. E. church is receiving.! new coat of paint which will make it have a fresher and cleaner appearance. As usual the fall prophets arc look ing at tho weather guido boards and predicting an uncommon hard winter. Men who advertise in the Scout find an increased sale of their goods largest circulation of any paper in the county. See the point? Several parties are talking of buying property on which to make their fu ture home. No better selection could be made than to build homes in Union. Minnick & Davis, of High valley, will bring their steam engine down to Union where they will use it in sawing wood for any who desire to get their winter's, wood sawed. Mrs. 15. F. Wilson, has been quite unwell for several days past. Miss Shaw has charge of the intermediate department, during Mrs. Wilson's ab sence from the school. Mr. A. L. Buckner, nn attorney of Winnomuea Nov., has been in Union several days on some legal busines. Mr. Buckner is very favorably Impress ed with the advantages of this section, and thinks our probabilities are great. Monday morning people wakened up finding the weather had taken a sildden turn, and had frozen ovorv- thing still" and solid. Annies on the trees were frozen to the core, and veg- etables likewise, it is thought, how- j ever, that annles arc not verv badlv I injured The Prinville Xcirs says that if re ports be true the grand jury of Crook county are very searching in their ex amination of witnesses before them, even asking them how crops etc., are out in Malheur county, interviewed them on tho tariff questions, and made thorough investigation of the prohibi tion question. A Chautauqua society has been or ganized in tho city. This purely a scientific society, or rather a society in which the sciences iuo studied and are socially discussed among the mem bers of the club. It is said to be a very interesting one. The course is a ' four years one one course each win ter. There are about thirty members already enrolled and much interest is manifested by its members to make it highly entertaining and instructive. A Mrs. J. Shisper, whose daughter went down on the steamer Brother Jonathan, which was on tho Portland and San Francisco route and was i wrocKeu ou-usuuKcn reel oi iocks near Port Orford over 22 years ago, expects to find her daughter lying in the bri dal chamber of tho sunken ship, which has just been discovered. Mrs. Shis per says she has been watching for tho body of her daughter ever since, and now that tho ship has been found, be leivcs her hopes will bo realized. Closing down tho works of the Alice and Magna Charta mines, at Butte City, Montana, will throw about -100 men out. of employment. Some of the employees have been working for theto companies for eleven years. The reas on for closing tho mines is said to lie on account of the exce. s ve rate on ,ialt used in the works. It is beleived by competent judges that the grade of ore is running to low that it will not justify working it longer. The pumps have been stopped ami tho mines arc fast filling with water. Comity dark Neill has placed boxes in tho pigeon holes in tho vault for papers in both circuit and probate court? - ..On each box is a label having nos. from a certain no. up to and in clusive of their respective nos. The papers aro numbered from tho lower to tho higher number on that box. Theio aro two index hooks, one for the plaintiff and ono for tho defendant. You look in tho index for tho name of the party yon desiro to see and follow out to the number of the box, also the number of tho paper wanted. You look on tho box for tho lower number, take the box out and look on the top edge of tho envelop until you come to the one indicated by the index number of tho paper. This renders it vory easy to find any paper in tin ollico in moment, 1 1 1 t .f - 1 twinCJISMM '.;-"rwjivt-TTm" i w. -i'"T,TT1"M"","'ri" TTTI A. II. Matoon of La Grandewas over yesterday. N. B.

Levy sold this week secral Alaska fur over coals, buggy and sleigh robes to our stage drivers and livery men. Call and examine them before they are all gone. Mr Al. (ioodbrod, returned Sutur dav, from the East. Ho reports hav ing a line time. He certainly looks as though he had enjoyed something of a pleasing nature. The cattle from the "Thousand hills" were driven in Wednesday; and tho next morning were separated, each j owner taking out his stock prepatory j to putting them into winter quarters. Parties having bought tho Sewing Machine Baking Powder, at A. Levy's, ; will please appoint sonic convenient day to open the great seal and find out who is entitled to the machine. Only eight cans left. Selfishness in business does not al ways pan out, and if one man expects to coral all the trade in a town lie will soon find out that the world will and can move without him just as if he were not living in it. Marriage liceeses were issued to the following parties this week : A. B. Hopper and Miss Annie Hutehins, La Grande; Jacob Zuber and Mrs. Susie Stevens, La Grande; A. S. Holbrook and Miss II. Truesdall, Union. An explosion of natural gass, in the basement at Pittsburg, Pa., on the 18th, caused a loss of $f)0,000, and injured fifteen persons. Out in our western country we have frequent gass explo sions which doesn't cost anything like that sum. Mr. Simon Miller had quito a surgic al operation perfornled in Portland this week. lie had a portion of hie ribs on one side taken out. He stood the operation fully as well as could have been expected for one in such poor health. Mr. and Mrs. W. I). ICnowles, par ents of Mrs. J. C. Summers, and Miss Mollie Dowill, niece of Mrs J. C. Sum j mers, arrived hero from tho East, last ' week, on a visit to their relatives. They will probably remain a year, in our vicinity. Tho directors of Dry creek school dis trict Nn GJ, Pino valley, are desirious of procuring the services of a compe- tent teacher, (man preferred to teach I a three months term ot school, and ; probably longer .

This looks as though j the adorers of Josh were learning to eat j Hour instead of rice, but it isn't the j case. The real reason of increasing I consumption of flour over thero is the constantly increasing white population in the seaboard cities of tho Flowery Kingdom, liunchgrass Blade. ! Tho police in Chicago have been di rected to arrest any person found dis tributing a circular addressed "To the Workingmen of the United States of North America," juid Bignod by "Tho Federation of Trado Unions."

Collinhcrry, Pino valley ; was coming from his brother who livos a few miles below town on the Cove road, hi team became unmanageable and ran away. He succeeded in keep ing them in the road, until he came to the turn of the rood into Union, when thinking he could stop them, under took to run them into the fence, but i they took a sudden turn, the wheels struck the fence throwing Mr. Collin bury forcibly out of the wagon onto the ground against the fence. His head lias two large gashes cut on the right side and several of the lower ribs on the right side were broken. A gentleman was just behind him, with a team hastened to him and with oth ers who came immediately, placed him on a wagon and brought him in to town in an insensible condition. He however recovered consciousness, ' and was taken to his brother's Mr. Chas- C. Cofilnbury who lives in Union. . It has not yet been ascertained tho ex j tent of his internal injuries but we trust it will not prove any more serious. TO BE ABANDONED. On Wednesday of this week orders were received by the commanding olfi 1 cer at Fort Canby from the War De partmental Washington, and approved by Lieut. Gen. Sheridan, instructing . that all work on improvements of the j post be at once stopped, and the two companies of artillery stationed there be placed in readiness for removal. 1 his virtually means an abandonment of Fort Canby. The officers stationed there are ignorant of any cause for this order but it is attributed to a recomen dation made to the War Department by Gen. H. C. Dunne, chief of engin eers, who visited the fort on a tour of inspection a short time since. Fort Canby commands the entrance to the Columbia and in caEO of trouble aris mg from what ever cause upon the waters, is the only protection to the shipping and other interests of tho great river which could be relied upon i ne entire iNortnwcst is interested m this matter a vast empire of territory with its growing wealth and enterprise has reason to raise a most causefuland forcible protest. What justification can there be for the change? Certain ly not upon a basis of economy. Tho National treasury is burdened with millions already that it has no use for, and tho policy that has shown itself with in the past year of robbing the country of needed services and im provements is an outrage in whatever light it may be loooked upon This project of abandoning Fort Canby would bo Htst a piece oil tho Benedict Arnold-eome-all-t he-world- and-take-us-if-you-want-to war policy of this nation, whose farcial manipulations may yet plunge us into the gall of bitterness and a fearful cost. The Chamber of Commerce met on Thursday ovening and took active steps to stay proceed mgs in this contemplated removal of troops. The President and Secretary of the Chamber were instructed to tele graph to General Howard, command ing the division of the Pacific, also to our delegation in Congress, requesting them to take the decisive steps to the end of having this order rescinded.
