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

appear for trial on Tuesday morning

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.

An interesting letter from cx-Mayor
D. B. Bees, who is now in Tacoma,
appears in this it a lie. His suggestions

improvements in Union, aro good, but j

good town and will no doubt iucrea.-o
considerably, in spito of tho apathy
of a majority of its citizens, and the

ness men to prevent it from doing so. j

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

owing to that peculiar and very trouble
some malformation so common to the borso
and heretofore considered beyond tho reach
of science to remedy. Wo are told by good
judges that Prof. Smith's operation was

This case had haflled tho skill of several
good veterinarics who had mado unsuccess
ful operations and was finally left to tho
courts, the truo condition of tlm horso
which is now plainly demonstrated. Wo
congratulate P-of. Smith who has our well
