New railroad enterprises are projec ted almost every week in mc parts of Oregon or Washington territory. Railroads mu&t be paying property.

Smith handled the ribbons over John Elliott's four-in-hand, Wednes day, and reined them around as if ho was accustomed to swinging the silk in days of old timo staging. It was reported on the train Sunday morning that a man had fallen from the train somewhere in the Blue mountains, while the train was' in rap id motion. We did not learn anything definite. If you want any thing of an enter prising nature done, call on the citi zens of Union, and they will do it for you. Recent developments prove this assertion beyond tho shadow of a rea sonable doubt.

Christmas dinnors were indulged in, to which tho timo honored, turkey shed his blood, that wo might cat and pronounce this world good- The ball at Wright's hall last Friday night was well attended, and every thing passed ofT pleasantly. Fifty thrco numbers were sold. Tho suppla nt tho Centennial hotel was excellent and reflects much credit upon Mr. Goodbrod, the genial landlord. Some parties attended tho Sunday school concert, last Sunday night, and having.neithor the fear of God in their hearts, nor respect for His followers, neither respect for themselves, noroth g ore made themselves quite obnoxious I to the rest of tho congregation.

Neill is busily engaged in counting up the tax roll, having received the State levy after so long a lime. The O. it C. railroad has reduced the price of firt class unlimited tickets from Portland to Sacramento and San Francisco from !?30 to i'25, and limited tickets from $22 to 20. The rate for all tax purpose. this year is 21.7 mills. This does not seem to be decreasing taxation much, but we hope the time will come when such high rales will not be necessary. I A most excellent Christmas dinner was served at the Centennial hotel. We did not dine there, hut sampled tone of the cake. Mr. Good broil as landlord is the right man in the right, place. Quite a number of swains and their (mo) lattes have been promenading, our streets this week. Glad to see them out for it recalls pleasant recol lections of times goije by when wc our eyes are filled with tears. Mr. S. 0. Swaekhamer's lesidenee caught lire, from some coals falling out of the stove in one of the rooms, last week. It w.is only by extreme prompt ness and persistent eii'ort that the lire was placed under control.

Thcro was a Sunday school concert given by the M. E. Sunday school, last Sunday evening, which was very enter taining to all.

Wc learn that the journalistic indus try has been trifled with by thu editor of the Garfield Enterprise, who sudden- ly siiook tlio oust liom ins pedal ex tremities, at Assotin W. T., and left for other parts where oft repeated duns could not harass tho peacefulness of his mind, lie regretted very much to leave, but he saw no more chances to borrow little sums of money etc. But like the roses of summer, he has flown and to the supreme disgust of his cred itors, ho has withered fioni thoir gaze. Two suspicious looking characters were seen prowling around a certain of' lice on .Main street, last Tuesday night about 11 o'clock. Being watched fiom a secluded spot, one of them, after hav ing cast the light from a dark-lantern held in his hand, upon a safe that was in the room, said: "It is a 'Yimou,' we may as well move on." Their inten tions, evidently, were to rob the safe, but undoubtedly having had, at sonio picvious time, a little experience, with this particular make, gave it up on a bad job. Tho owners of tho safe may congratulate themselves on their wise purchase. Tho current number of tho Wo&t Shore is one of unusual interest, being filled with duscriptive articles, .fiction and poetry, and containing many beautiful engravings of Western scen ery, from California to Alaska. It is accompanied by a supplement, in the form of a large picture conunomorating the recent union of Oregon and Cali fornia by a raihoud long under con struction. The West Shore is the only illustrated mngazine on the Pa- j cific coast, and is so excollent in its literary contents and engravings, and , covers tho entire field so thorough', i that it seems to leave no opening for a rival. It is the only publication con taining engravings ot the beautiful ! scenery of the Vet. and the only one giving fresh and reliable information about that entire region. It alo con tains choice fiction, poetry and nketch- ' es of Western life and events. With the January number tho publuhcr promises to send to all mbscribers for 1SSS a grand oleograph of the "En- i trance to the Columbia River," printed ; in nino colori.

DIPHTHERIA IN LA GRANDE. Wc understand that two of Mr. Wil dy's children died of diphtheria, last week' and that another case in the town has proven fatal. Every precau tion possible should bo taken against tho spreading of this disease, moro so as these cases all seem to have been of a very malignant type. j We have talked with teveral parties i who are accustomed to railway travel, ! and aro on the road almost every day, ; say that tho way the cars speed along i over some parts of tho road is certainly : most dangerous. Tho speed on level j or straight road docs not amount to 1 much, but when coming down Pylo ' canyon, or going through tho Bluo 1 mountains it will make one's hair i stand on end. In many places the 1 curves aro short, and often compound; ' high treaties and high embankments aro numerous, but nevertheless, very little slacking in speed is made at these dangerous places. Fast timo ov er bad parts of the road should not ho tolerated. Human lifo certainly has omo claim over fast time, but wo sup- poso that railway officials think if tho people want to travel, they must speed along at tho rate the officers dictate, or stav ae home.

Next year premises lo be i ne of un usual piospcnty in this county. Ma ny enterprises will lv opened up in the spring and we shall have a real busi ness boom. There will be a greater in flux of population into Union county than ever before in her history. -Men of means are coming here to settle, and make this their permanent honte. New life will be instilled into every branch of trade, and business will be increased a hundred fold. Men of en terprise are just beginning to find out that Union county is one of tho best counties in tho state for safe invest ments, and next summer will witness some great strides towards achieving the grand ends, for which thN county is so admirably adapted. Now put your shoulder to the wheel, gentleman, and help build up everything that will advance our interests. P E N X 0 Y E RONTO P. The lawyers ridiculed Pentioyer's in augural message to tho legislature, wherein he commented upon tho acts of federal,coiirts, in Oregon, in inter fering, by legal process, with collection of the revenues of a State. Pennoyer pan now place his thumb to his nose and wiggle every finger at them, as the supreme court has jut decided a case in point, that "A federal court has no authority or power to pass upon the question of a State's collection of taxes or revenue." Pennoyer was right. FiiTTvirE-uNi O X.
