Tho editor of tho Vale Atlas eayn
that some of tho alleged butter that

the miuers ut Sanger, recently, was
discovered in Malheur county. He
says that a big hunk of it lit on tho
doorstep of his ollicc, and when he a
proached it, it got up and barked at

of tho Sanger miners was a little hasty,
but wo don't now.

It is comparatively, a rare thing for
us to be able to announce an entertain
ment which we honestly feel will be in
nosenfc a disfapointmcnt to our peo
ple. Such we arc confident will bu given
by the Royce it Laming Bell Ringers
on Friday evening. From all Fourccs
wc gather nothing but praise for their
entertainment. They are patronized
every wheio by tho best and most cul
tured people. This is accounted for
by their strict adherence to what
eight years ago laid the foundation to
their 'continue rf success viz., always
piesuitinga strictly clean and thor
oughly enjoyable programme. One
which combines, in a happy manner,
the very best of mirth and music.
Probably another stepping-stone to
their unqualified success, is the fact
that, aside from their artistic worth,
the company is composed strictly of
ladiei' and gentlemen whose social and
moral standing is beyond question.
Wherever they have once appeared the
announcement of a second visit is al
most an absolute guarantee of a crowd
ed house, and highly pleased audience.
Tickets now on sale at Wrights Drug
Store, where you can secure reserved
seats without extra charge.
THE CENTENNIAL HOTEL.
This well known caravansary which
has been temporarily closed for a week
i or two oast, on account of the cxnira-
tion of the lease, and some misunder
standing concerning the furniture, will
be re-opened on the first of next month.
.Mr. Al. uoodnind.a hotel man ot large
experience, ha." purchased the proper
ty, and will make it a strictly first class
hotel hereafter. He has a l.ire force
of men, engaged in icmodeling the
rooms and repainting and replastering
the whole ettablithment. Mr. V. 1 .
Wriuht who was in Portland this week,
superintended tho purchase of an en
tire new set of furniture for each room.
The looms will be elegantly carpeted
throughout and when completed, the
hotel will be the same as new. 'Ihe
dining room will be complete in ih
ap ointments, and tho table spread
with everything of tho best. While
Union lias several cheap boarding hous
es, winch are well i nough in their way,
our greatest need has be. n a first class
hoti 1, and that we will have hereafter.
That the principal (own of a great
county should have dragged along

ANOTHER ONE NAILED.
"Wo are informed that snow to the
depth of several inches has fallen on
the road fiom Union to Cornucopia
and in consequence the stageover that
route was detained for three days. It is
evident that this route is not practica
ble for winter travel ' Baker Democrat.
The Democrat was misinformed. At
the proent writing no snow of any
consequence lias fallen on the road.
The driver o. the stage had the mis
fortune to break an axle, which detain
ed that particular vehicle, probably
three days, but another conveyance
was sent out with such promptness,
that the mail and passengers arrived
on time. No break has been made in
the arrival and departure of these stag
es. As for the statement that the
route is impracticable for winter travel
the wish is so plainly father of the
thought, that it is not worth comment
ing upon.
"RISE UP WILLIAM."
The Baker City Democrat sayr:
"lion. Dunham Wright, of Big creek,
informs us that there is a great deal ol
travel over the road from Cornucopia
to Union, and that if there was a stage
line from Baker connecting with thh
road the most of the travel would conn
here. Mr. Wright says Baker City ii
the natural point for miners to makt
their headquarters. He says Union
will do for theGrand Bonders, but then
are to few of that class that they cut
but a small figure."
Wo don't know what to think of that.
Dnnham, wh n he is in Union don't
talk that way, but just the reverse.
Probably it would be well for him to
"rise up', William Riley" aiid explain,
so that the people may know just how
to take him, anyway.
DEATH FROM DIPTHERIA.
A death from that dreadful defease
diptheria occured on Clover creek,
in tne southern portion of this county,
this week. Mr. Samuel Smiths' little
nine year old gill took sick about a
week ago, and Dr. Cromwell of this
city was summoned, who at onco dis
covered that the disease was diptheria
of tho worst type, but as it waa so far
along it was impntsiblo to do much
for the sufferer, and the died last Mon
day. How she contracted tho disease
is a mystery, as she had not been
away from homo for three weeks. No
other cases are reported, and it is hoped
by taking precautions, to keep tho dis
ease from spreading.
ANOTHER OUTRAGE.
Mr. Chas. Tomliiifoii, of the firm of
Tonilinson fe Brooke, sheep raisers,
came down from Malheur county, the
fore part of tho week. He informs us
that -100 tons of hay, which they had
just purchased for the use of their
sheop during the coming winter, was
burned by incendiaries on Wednesday
of last week. No clue to the peipetra
tors of tho dastardly outrage has, as
yet, been discovered, but .Mr. Tonilin
son thinks it is but another act in the
warfare now in progrets between the
ttoi kinen and sheepmen of this section.
