Skating rink fever has again broken
out in Union, and double back unac

gram. There is a colony in the East that
have their eyes turned towards Union
county. They will probably arrive in

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.

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.
