THE OREGON SCOUT. AMOS K. JONES, EDITOR. The Oregon Scout has as large a circu lation as any three papers in this scc tton of the Slate, combined, and is cor respondingly valuable as an advertising medium. Friday, Sopt'r. 7th, 1SS8. Gatherum In. Monday, warrants were sworn out, in tlio recorder's court for Jesse Thomp son liid Goodwin, W. L. Leathers, Dave Weston and W. II. 3Iullnn, and placed in tlio linndsof the city marshnj, who, in company with Ed. Gates, went down among the cane braked and luxuriant titles, after their men. Home were found in ono place and somo in another, while others were found at tho place of garnorcd sheaves. They were all taken under tho fostering care of those efficient of ficers and brought into town, when they wero duly arraigned before tho recorder, on the charge of being disor derly upon tho streets of the city of Union. Goodwin, Leathers and Mul lan at once plead "guilty," and were fined $5 and costs. Thompson and Weston plead "not guilty." and were bound over in the sum of $25 each, to appear for trial on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, but when the hour ar rived they canio into court and plead "guilty" and wero also fined i?5 each and costs. Bather nKMAiiKAM.v: Advices from Grant county report that Lake Malheur, a body of water that covers more than '75 square miles, and has been without outlet, is rushing thtough a 'subter ranean passage with a groat roar. The noise is so loud and the shrinkage of water to great as toattraetmuch atten tion. It is said that miles of formerly submerged land is now visible. Tlu account is meager. Tho lake rectivoB the water of the Blitzen river and never overflows. It is situated on a rich, level plain with low shores. It is conncctded with Lake Harney by a shallow channel sixtj feet wido and 600 feet long. If the subsidence proves permanent it may throw the Oregon Pacific, survey company some miles further south. Attend .to it. Wo have been re quested by tho committee of ladies having in charge tho improvement of tho Union cemetery, to say to thoso having relatives buried there, that many of the graves havo been neglec ted so long that it is hard to distinguish whero they arc. On these, now mounds havo been mado and "head boards set up. It is the wish of tho committco that tho names of thoso who sleep beneath shall bo marked on the head-boards, by their living friends, so that tho graves may be identified hereafter. A notico of this kind ought not to be necessary. It is to be hoped that those interested will attend to tho matter at once. Desiuahuc Immigrants. This coun try is rapidly filling up with eastern people and their peculiarities aro no ticcablo to the old-timer. One of them recently stopped into an Ellonsburg atoro and asked for five cents worth of nice fresh crackers and ten cents worth of cheese, cut fron the soft side of the cheese. Another wanted six cents worth of blueing and still another wanted u couple of peanuts or the odd half cent due her for change. Verily tho good old days arc fast vanishing.- Destkuctive Fiue at Baker. A dispatch from J. G. Canaday, informs us that a destructive liro occurred at Baker City Wednesday morning. The firo broke out in tho old Pat. Campbell building and burned all that block ex cept threo beddings. It is impos.-ible to tell what the loss will boat this time. Tho building where tho firo broko out was unoccupied, and it is without doubt the work of an incendiary. Con siderable excitement prevails. Fiue at The Dalles. At 2:30 o' clock last Monday morning a destruc tive firo occurred at The Dalles, con suming property amountiug to twenty five thousand dollars. It started in an alloy back of tho Second-hand store of S. Kline, Washington street, between Second and Third. Thore was.no wind, otherwiso tho flames would have swept tho whole eastern portion of tho city. Tho insuranco amounts to about half of tho loss. Dii'HTHKRiA in Baker.

En. Scout: Ono "Dr." Hoyd. of Hakor City, a'tcr treating mo very unscntlem.nnly and tin professionally in a cao over in Hnkcr coun ty recently, resorts to public print through tho llcveillc of lat istic, vainly trying to case a guilty conscience, excmplyfyhig the old athttio of, "a guilty conscience needs no accusing" but iiccucs itself, lie as sumed nil responsibility in the case by making a diagnosis at bis ouloe, prescribing ami administering medicine to the patient without any consultation, to which lie was called. Wo left the patient in Ids hand at Go'cloek on Sunday evening, and ho died at about the same time next .evening, tome 21 hours afterwards. He licit even knowing our diagnosis or treatment, unjustly con demned it witli a motive too patent to any observing individual. If ho was not the consulting physician (consulting him self) as well as the attending physician, (which he denies) what position did ho as sume in the premises? His actions arc too well known by tlio laity as well as the pro fession, to undertake to shift tho responsi bility wiierc it does not belong, Wc havo plenty of charity and respect for any up right professional conduct, but actions ten ding to injure ono and elevate another, is not professional or gentlemanly, and wo detest and condemn It by whomsoever prac ticed.

Wo are told by good judges that Prof. Smith's operation was scion title and seemingly safo and ccrtcin.
