An interest ing communication from Mr. Newman. will appear in our ncxt.issuc. A carrot that is certainly a cariosity was raised by Mr. S. M..Seamans of West Union this season.

The Hutchinson Bros took the premium nttho Baker county fair for producing the best sack of Hour. No less than a dozen men have sub scribed for Thk Scour this week; entirely without any solicitation. on our part. It is tins way nearly every week. Surely no better evidence is needed ot the popularity of Tub Scout than its immense and con stantly increasing subscription list. A splendid assortment of furniture, also a line line of carpets, were received this week by Sam'l Miller, our wide awake furni ture dealer. Mr. Miller has tho most ex tensive establishment of this kind in tho county, and be undersell all competitors. Attention is called to his new nd in this issue. An impecunious individual burdened with tho cognomen of Daniel McCarty was lirought over from La Grande last Friday and incarcerated in tho county jail. He Is accused of burglary, and at his examina tion before Justice Knowlcs was bound over to await the action ot tho grand jury in tho sum of ?250. Summers fe Laync, the hardware mer chants, nro doing aushlng business. They sold an immense number of stoves this week and aro drawing trade from the far thest corners of tho county. This is the result of square dealing and liberally ad vertising In The Scout, a paper that reach es all the people. W. 11. Baldwin and A. E. Smith, subjects of Great Britain and Ireland, declared their intention of becoming citizens of our glor ious republic last week'before County Clerk Oliver. They took tho customary oath re nouncing forever all alliegcnce and fidelity to the sovereign of their native country Jjyithout reluctance, and went on their way rejoicing, Ed. Sicgsmond, who was sentenced to thirty days in the county jail at tho last term of court by Judge Clifford, was sot at liberty last Saturday by .Sheriff Holies, his sentence haying expired. Ho was placed injail I ant March and was compelled to lio therein for 7 wonts until court convened in September, He struck out In search of em ployment und will probably proflt by his ro- cent severe leaon, j The man. Am. Id, who ma le his escape while b 'inT taken to Sah'in has bee n cap tured and is now in the penitentiary. He cot In a box car at The Dalles to ride to Portland, and the train men having their suspicions aroused telegraphed to tho offi cers at Portland, who gathered him in. up on his arrival. Mr. S. A. Pursell received injurios from a fall, last Friday night, on his Saudridgo farm, which will probably confine him to the house for several days. He went out to the barn during the night to look after the horses, and while standing on a sill, acci dently fell backward striking on tho hard ground. The shock almost parnlizcd him for awhile and it was some time before he could get back to the houc. Ho managed to drive homo in his buggy the next day. A good advertisement in a live paper is a sign of respectability; it carries with it a certain amount of confidence, for it bears upon the face thestampof prosperity, and prosperity means quick sales, and quick sales means buying for cash and giving your enstomers the advantage. It is a fact long established beyond dispute, that the man who advertises extensively and judi ciously has the advantage over one who has his capital tied up in shelf worn goods. When you buy keep this in mind. To keep posted on the ever chnuging fashions requires considerable time and study and many ladies who dostro to bo tastefully dressed have not the timo to give the subject much attention. These should call at Mrs. Rinchnrt.s millinery establishment for anything they need in that line, as she keeps thoroughly posted on all the latest deigns and keeps none but the most skilled dressmakers and trimmers, there being two or three con stantly employed, Tho large assortment of goods kept constantly on hand is com pleto in every department, and must bo seen to bo appreciated. 10-23-Sw Leg Amputated. Mr. Wm. Johnson, brother of Jnmcs Johnson of this city, who lias been suffering for live or six years past, from an injury to his leg caused by a horse falling on it, had it amputated last Tuesday. The operation was performed very successfully by Drs. Day, Cromwell and Dcoring. It would be difficult to estiinntothc amount of suft'ering endured by Mr. Johnson on account of tho injury to his leg. He has had to go on crutches for three or four years past and was unable to get relief. He employed various physicians and went to Portland once, when nn operation was performed for a disease of the bone, but it seemed to do no good. About four mouths ago another operation Was performed in this city by Drs. Ewingand Day and the patient seemed to do well for a time but of late it has told on his gcncrnl health and an amputation became necessary lo save Ills life. He was given an anesthetic and remained under the influence ot it for about an hour and a half while the operation wus being per formed. Tho amputation was made at the upper third of the thigh which is one of tho most dangerous to make. The patient is doing quite well although there are sonic dangers yet to encounter before tho wound heals up. It is hoped by all that he will speedily recover. Electric Bitters. Tills remedy is becoming so well known and so popular as to need no special men tion. All who havo used Electric Bitters sing the same song of praise.

A FIELD FOR THE PROSPECTOR. Rominlccncc3 of a Noted Scsut and Indian Flghtsr. Union county has the onor ot being the leading gold and silver produclnc county of the State, although jot in tho first stage of its mining development. Tho ninny rich mines now being worked within its borders are but auguries of what will bo when ex plored and tho pick and shovel of the ad venturous minor has opened tho doorways to its hidden wealth. Among tho various districts of the county, none present a brighter outlook than that in tho vicinity of Sanger, just ont of Union. We had the pleasure, a few days ago, of a lengthy talk on mines and mining mat ters, wlili Mr. A. Bush Bowc, a practical miner, who, in company with Chas. Fobare, had just returned from tho Sanger district whero they had been doing some assess ment work on the WIN I DA MINK. owned by C. L. Blakesloo it Son and Chas, Fobare. Mr. Bowe is well pleased with the outlook, and from him we gleaned many items of interest. The "Winida'1 has well defined ledge about six or seven fee between walls and has every indication of being a good property. The ore, of whic.1 he had several samples, nrill assay from $15 to $20 per ton, Tin: or.M, situated just nbovo the Sanger mill, and owned by Samson Boy, will no doubt prove to bo one ot the best mines in tho district It is opened in three places by tunnels which show a well defined lcdtro of about two and one-half feet of solid quartz whlcl will average about 35 in gold, per ton Some of tho assays made have went as hlgl as ? 202 per ton. Mr. Boy is now erecting a now mill just below Sanger. If tho mine proves a success, and there is no doubt i will, a new tdwn to be known as "Gem City" will lie started at this place. Tim noii ixonnsoi.ii is nn extension of the '"Gem" and is owned by A. J. Myers. This'inino shows, eonsid erablo free gold and has every indication of making a valuable property when thorough ly developed. Mr. Myers is owner of a store in Sanger, and is also postmaster. Tin: Kr.w mixes. Messrs. Wise, White it Buckland recent ly opened up some new mines on Paddy's Paradise which promiso to bo a veritable bonanza. In ;i forty day's run with a small arastra thev cleaned up $3,500 in gold. It is said they are making arrangements to put up a five-stamp mill on this property Other new properties arc being workec around near Sanger, and there is every in dication of a boom in tho near future. At the KANnr.n mini:, owned by the Bradley Mining Co., therois now employed about sixty men, nnd their ten-stamp mill is kept running night and day. This is one of the richest mines in Eastern Oregon. Work has been steadily prosecuted for a nuniborof years and the output of bullion has been wonderful Sir. Bowc said ho was shown a choice piece of ore from this mine which was claimed assayed $12,000 per ton. llo showed us some .splendid specimens of oro from the "Winida," "Gem," and "Bob Inger soil'' mines, and discoursed at considera ble length on their relative value. It may not bo out of place to remark in this con nection that Mr, Bowo is NOT A 1IAII "Sl'ECIMF.S" himself. Hois a thorough mining man and has been connected with sonic of the rich est initios in the southwest, and was a dele gate to the Alining Exchange held at Kan sas City last March. From 187(5 to '78 ho was chief of scouts at tho San Carlos In diau reservation in Arizona, and ids life has been one of continual adventures. An Arizona paper says of him : "At tho ago of 20 years ho was a noted und dreaded chief of a band of Apache scouts In tho employ of tho government. Ho did more service than all tho government troops combined When ho followed a band of maurauders he followed to catch and fight them, and the freshening of a trail gladdened his heart. The hostilos feared him as they .feared tho Evil Spirit." Altogether Mr. Bowo is a typical specimen of the men who conquered tho western wilderness, and it Is quite in (cresting to hoar him relate his thrilling experience Itomarkablo Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtnln. Plainllcld, Illinois, makes tho statement that she caught Cold, which settled on her lungs; slio was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. Ho told her that she was u hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption; sho bought n bottle and to her delight found herself benefited from tho first dose. Sho continued its uso and after taking ton bottles, found herself sound und well, now does her own house work and Is as well as she ever was. Frco trial bottles of this Groat Discovery at B. II.
