We were now joined by thecity oouncll the marshal liad not yet Joined us and driven to tne Cham ber of Commerce, where we liMcned to the wifdnm and eloquence of some of the able jolona of the city, and judging from tho secretary's report tlie conmierclal interest of the city has been well looked after the past year. Next we were taken to the ball, givoti by Messrs. Smith, KeUay. lteverldg and the good Ixird only knows whom else, There we discovered an old Ohio friend in tho person of J. M.

However, the dance was a complete success, Seeing it was no go, so far as the hop was oonoertieil. we retired for tho night ami all alone, tint when we awoke some time near two o clock there were no less than six per sons in Led with us, including the mayor and inoft of the city council.

AVILSON'S HLOCK, UNION, OREGON, got to Union is not known, as no tidings have siuco been heard of 1dm. However, on arriving nt town we were agreeably sur prised to ilnd an old acquaintance of by gone years, in tho person of John Craig, who took us in charge ami showed us the sljjhts. The llrst placo of real interest wo Visited was the North Powder hotel, kept by Faukncr & Forney, whore we did ample justice to a good supper and got slightly stuck on tho cook. After n little rost wo vvoro taken to tho M. K. church where we wore told there would be a Christmas tree. After being comfortably seated in tho host chair, which wo suppose is usually occu pied by some of tho diunitnrios of tho church, wo witnessed a very creditable por formauvo, comddHiug tho fact that but littlo time was given tor preparation. Tho house was beautifully decorated and tho tree fairly woll filled with presents. We would inako u-fpeoial note of Miss liurk'tf recitation and tho singing of the Misses. Parker, Chapman und Rogers und that of Mr. Lotion. There might hnvo been niuny more good siugarslu tho choir but as tho tree formed an obstruction between them and our optics wo wore unable to determine them. Wo came away fully satisfied that it was good for all to have boon there. AVe did not seo Santa Claus but wore afterwards informed that ho started on his journov from above, but his probocis souiowhat re sembling Jumbo, bis flight was tapped, at least ho did not show up. We learned, however, that after the performance was over Joe White and Will Curuos ascended to tho roof of tho house and by means of (Ishhooks, lino, und block and taoklo suc ceeded in extricating him from his danger ous situation. Tho next event witnessed was a guino called billiards, between a young North Powder dude und an unknown, possibly from nowhere. Money was freely wagered on both sides and one would think a great game was on the boards. Tho writer wit nessed tho game for two hours and at the expiration of that time the clerk had ten billiards and tho unknown cloven. AVe re tired, but presume tho game is still going on. After a good night's sleep and a good breakfast we again started In to sco tho Iguts. Mr, traig, in company with the mayor of the town, soon had us In tow. Tho first place wo visited was tho Zoologi cal garden where we found Manager Jlev crldge and Ids altunt busily engaged In caring for the auhiiuU, Wo found Munu ger llererldge a very accommodating ami pbaiant gentleman, who took grout pains in showing us everything of luurett. We found all the animal and birds known o thu roue, am) uisny frow far-oW lunds, and should it wr he the reader's let to vltlt in tho caso are such as will require several iwo (loiuir jugs 10 pay ins ice. Wo were now joined by S. C. Munn, president of tho North Powder alliance, and perhaps others whoso names we cannot recall, and at onco proceeded to the storo of Uorham & Roth child, where we found tho genial Herman Rothchild with open arms ready to receive us. A thorough inspoction of tho storo led us to tho conclusion that there Is no better general merchandise storo in Union county and that these gentlemen are worthy of tho ininionso patronage which they aro receiv ing. A full lino of goods of tho bust quality is kept, and prices as low us anywhere. Wo found tho manager, Mr. Rothchild, a very pleasant und accommodating gentle men whom it is a real ploasuro to moid. Wo also had a ' knock down" to his host girl, Suxlo. Mr, Rothchild reqttostod us to say that IW- I lp year that ho desired tho girls to know that ho was "strlotly in It." From horo wo wont to tho grocery storo of that prince of good follows Deputy Postmaster Loinax, where wo found him unlng an Immense trade In holi day goods. Mr. Lomax lias a splendid as sorted stock of goods und la soiling nt small prolits which insures him n good trade. We now yislted the storo of the Oregon Lumber Co. whoro we found the geniul Mr. uiiiuotj in unurge; moy aiso nave a goon trado. AVe were next taken to tho North Povvdir mill, which be it said to tho discredit of North Powdor and vicinity has been Idle for a long time, No better location for a mill could bo had anywhere, and wo now call the attention of tho board of trado to tho fact that tho mill Is idle. Arriving at tho Stoddard lumber yards we were politely shown around by tho yard foreman, Iireck Ulz. Wo found that their planing mill which was destroyed by fire a short timo ago, would soon bo ready for uso, and we feel like saying tuat tho (Stod dard Pros, aro mudo of tho proper kind of mettle. Wo visited many other places of Interest and attended one session of circuit court, but Judge Kdwurds, who is chief justice, was lust adjourning court, and had ulready shed his judicial gown, as we entered und we were greatly disappointed In not hearing bliu deliver one of hi clear-cut, logical do- chrfous. We almost forgot to say that Ooo. Vtnublo, Jay Gould's right bower at this place, will hold down the pnildcnt's chair In the Chamber of Commerce the ensuing year. Just as ws were preparing to take our departure from tho city we wore an. touted by an Individual whom we took to ho cither Horace Oreely or Rip Van Win kip. who desired loiuukuour uoquulutaiice, but, being ioiiieM relhsnt with irn.
