Business in Union lively and every one happy and contented. Two freight teams loaded for the Pino crock mines Monday. Daniel Chaplin, an old resident of La Grande, died at his home, last Fri day. Kemombcr the grand hall to be given on Urn lGth of this month at the club hall. The national republican convention is to be held at Chicago on June HUh of 1SSS. The Vale Atlas, published at Yale, Malheur county, Oregon, has suspend- mi11!iiit twm Skating rink fever has again broken out in Union, and double back unac countable movements are on the pro gram. There is a colony in the East that have their eyes turned towards Union county. They will probably arrive in the spring, The New York store at La Grande is the place to go for bargains in all kinds of goods. One visit will con vince you of the fact. The employees of this office extend their heart felt thanks to Mr. Leon Levy, for favors in the shape of three high priced smokes. "When your bowels pain you, go to the drug store and wink," is the advice given by Peter the Poet, of the Long Creek Eaylc, to his readers. Umatilla is to have another paper. The old Umatilla Examiner first pub lished at Weston by Jno. T. Hartsell is to bo revived and will be conducted by a Mr. McQuary. Tuesday morning was the first snow of any consequence of the season, the "beautiful" falling to the depth of an inch. The sunshine of the day had the usual effect, however. Wc present our readers, this week, witli a supplement containing the pres ident's message, also Gov. Scrapie's message to the Territorial Legislature of Washington Territory. Books of poems, of biography, of travel and adventure, also stories by the best authors at the Cove drug store. Call and look over the list. They are very suitable for presents. We learn from private source that there is considerable scarlet fever and an occasional case of the mumps in Baker City, ff such is the case wc i trust the disease may not bo very gen eral or wide spread. The party that went down to adjust, the loss by fire in the tides, fearing that there might be rat.tlesiia.kcs in that vicinity, provided flTeniFolves with the usual remedies for snake bites in j such cases made and provided. i An exchange proposes to t ho jour- ! nalists of Oregon that they offer a lib eral reward for the dead bodies of the i "Beautiful snow" poets of the state, as a terrible warning to those who con template writing such illusions. The ball to be given at Wright's hall in this city, Friday evening, Dec. promises to be the event of the season. Every preparation is being made for j a grand time. Supper will be served at the Centennial hotel. See ad. The Baker City papers need no worry any about the winter road from Union to Cornucopia being closed. That winter road with its twenty feet of snow will yet knock the Baker City line higher than Gillroy's kite; now mind that A young man in this city was asked, the other day, the cause of his looking so poor and wretched. He replied: "Well you see, I've been keeping store for a man who don't believo in adver tising, and it is killing me. I never could stand solitary confinement." - From parties down from Corn ucopia wo learn that between four and live feet of snow fell there last week. A number of snow slides occurred, but so far as heard from, no damage has been done, with the exception of the blacksmith shop at tho "Bed Jacket" mine being carried away. Besides enjoying a largo local trade, tho clerks in the various departments of the store of Mr. Joseph Wright are kept constantly busy in filling orders from dill'eront parts of tho county. Joe's motto is "Live, and let live," and consequently goods aro marked down at surprisingly lojv prices. Several days ago, while tho steamer Yaquina City was crossing tho bar, at the entrance' to Yaquina bay, her ma chinery gavo way and she drifted on the sands. She was resting easily for some days, and hopes were entertained that sho'could be extricated from her somewhat perilous position. The- se vere gale which had been blowing for eight days, renewed and Monduy noon she broke in two. The Yaquina was a fine boat and passengers from Yaquina fcity to San Francisco will miss her. It is the first wreck upon tho Yaquina bar, wo heliovo, which however was not owing to tho dangercf the bar. J. B. Fithian, une of the former oil i tors of the ix-Mountain Sentinel of Union, is to be Deputy U. .H. Marshal under the newly appointed Marshal. Damage on the lower Columbia, caused by the recent heavy storm, is estimated to be about $:!00,000. In some parts of the date it is said to be the heaviest storm that ever passed through Oregon. The building of a railroad up to Alaska would seem about as absurd as tne uuiKiiiig 01 a rauroau across the continent in the fiO's, yet now wc have four completed roads with the fifth rapidly Hearing completion. The last spike celebration hangs fire somewhat, but if no pievouting provi dence it. will take place and the road wilfbe finished, and the Mt. Shasta route will be duly heralded to tho travelling public as the only pictur esque line in the "far west." The custom house officers, at Port land nailed on to a trunk which was being delivered to a Chinoe firm, anil took therefrom 100 pounds of smug gled opium. Several arrests were made, among whom was a Chinese woman. Other development are ex pected will follow. Payne is the man who killed officer Hubbard, also his (Fay lie's) father rather than have him taken back to Misnuiri where he was to be tried for murder. It seems that the killing of the father by the son was a mutual agreement between the two, if he could not he freed from the officers. Workingmen while digging a well in Kingold county, Iowa, found the trunk of a tree and a half bu.-hel of walnuts fourteen feel below the surface of the earth'. What is strange about the dis covery is that although the county contains considerable timber of differ ent kinds, not a walnut tree is known to be in tho county. Portland, again has tho hotel fever. They now propose to raise a subsidy of $100,000, and olfer it as an inducement to someone who is willing to build that first class hotel. What a pity, that as pretentious a city as Portland is, it cannot have one good hotel. Her cit izens are now holding out their hands to Henry Villard, of tlie N. 1 R. R., expecting that he will lend them a helping hand. The painting for the Portland Cy clorama building arrived in that city a few days ago, and by the first of next month will be open to the public for exhibition. This will be an entirely new feature in Portland. It is the painting of several of the largest battles of the civil war, on a gigantic scale, and so natural, it is said, that one almost thinks he hears tho roar of the cannon, the rattle of musketry, and the groans and shrieks f the dying. The recent storm throughout West ern Oregon and Washington Territory has done much damage in different parts of those sections. Tho wind was very strong, doing considerable dam age in unroofing some buildings, blowing others down while the Hoods caused by the heavy rains have played their part by washing away a large amount of property and damaging, to a great degree in various ways, much more. Charles Tomlinsou, of the firm of Tonilinson & Brooke, sheep raisers in Malhuor county, was in town this week, making preparations to send up a large amount of supplies. He told us that goods were being sold 2f per cent cheaper in Union, than Baker City or Huntington, and he found that he could make money by passing through both those places and coining here to buy. Talk is cheap, but actions like that speak to some purpose. Make a note of this, yc farmers, stockmen and readers of Tun Scorr. Come to Union to buy your goods. Let us givo you another bit of advice that will ben efit you: Buy of the merchants who advertise in these columns for they arc tho men who have brought this state of things about. Let the other kind alone for they have nothing to of fer you. Time is money. Lose none of it by monkeying around, but go di rect to any of our advertisers and buy at once. You will not miss it.
