THE OREGON SGOOT. AMOS It. .TONKS. KlUTOlt. The Oregon Scout has ax large a drew httiou an anil three papers in this see tlon of the State, combined, and is cor respondingly valuable as an advertising medium. Friday, October 1SSS. SMAMii'ox. It scums that Yamhill county is not the only place in which tlmt dreaded ditoase, smallpox, has showed itself and caused the immedi ate community to become terrified. It has developed over on the Smind in scattering cases and although it is not likely to become very widespread, it stands every town, hamlet, and com munity in hand to adopt at once the most strict sanitary methods to pre vent it. It is true that the dis ease is not so fatal as in earlier times before its treatment was well under stood, and deaths from it are quite a low per cent, yet none of us desire to tamper with it. See that everything about your premises is free from all accumulations that are likely to en gender disease of any kind, and we will feel safer and enjoy life the better for it. Ix Tltori:u:.(?)

Upon his arrival at La Grande he was met, by the captain and several members of the e.oiupany and was marched down to hcamjunr teis, where, no doubt, the boys had considerable fun at his expense. .Jake swears if be gets out of this company alive he will never jeiir another.
